The alternative
This used to be a consulting project.
A typical process audit costs $15,000+, takes weeks, and describes how work was happening — not how it is happening now.

Vantic’s Friction Score: One number, four dimensions
The Friction Score (0–100) summarises four dimensions: how often and how broadly tools are switched, how much the sequence of work varies, rapid context switches that interrupt focus, and sessions that run materially longer than baseline.

From install to insight
Install and scope
Download the macOS app and grant a single Accessibility permission. No configuration, no integrations, no workflow mapping. Done in under a minute.
Detect structure and flow
Timing, sequences, and handoffs become a structural model of how work moves — workflow signals only, not screen content.
Rank time leaks
Prioritised friction, cost signals, and ranked next actions: one-off Diagnostic or continuous reporting.
From permission to ranked output
What runs on the device between install and the score you act on.
Permission granted
OS-level workflow signals enabled (no file access).
Workflow signals captured
Focus, timing, and transitions—structure only.
Local pattern engine
On-device analysis detects repeat switching patterns.
Friction Score + findings
Ranked fixes with estimated time cost and context.
