How it works

From understanding your business to moving it forward.

Aptic connects the context, decisions, and follow-through needed to make progress—with clear responsibilities for you, your team, and Aptic.

Set up once. Then a cycle of decisions.

Two steps set up the engagement. The next four repeat for every decision, and each review feeds the next one.

Start with your business

Share what you sell, who you serve, what you want to achieve, and what is getting in the way. Bring in the relevant systems and records so Aptic can work from the business as it is.

Your goals and constraints guide the engagement.

Your part
Share the context, and connect the systems and records Aptic needs.
Aptic's part
Aptic's consultants guide the setup, and Aptic reads every system and record you connect.

Agree on the work and the limits

Define what Aptic will investigate, what it may carry out, and which decisions stay with you. Establish the measures of progress, available resources, and responsibilities on both sides.

The scope makes clear what Aptic can advise on and what it can execute.

Your part
Decide what Aptic may carry out, and what stays with you.
Aptic's part
Sets out the scope, the measures of progress, and the limits with you.

Establish what is happening

Aptic examines the available evidence, identifies gaps, and builds a starting view of performance. It connects problems across the business and prioritizes those worth addressing.

When there is not enough information to support a conclusion, the next step may be to improve the evidence.

Your part
Fill the gaps only you can.
Aptic's part
Builds the starting view, names what is missing, and ranks what is worth addressing.
Starting view · last 90 days Illustrative example

Cost per lead $38 Google Ads

Leads that became jobs 16% Sales records

Gross profit per job $410 Accounting

Crews booked next month 78% Schedule

Repiping job costs — Missing

Worth addressing first

Broad drain searches bring cheap leads that rarely become profitable jobs.

Next step for repiping: add its job costs, so its margin can be judged.

Decide what to do

Review proposals with their reasoning, expected benefit, tradeoffs, and limits. Ask questions, adjust the plan, approve a change, or decline it.

Some decisions are best made now. Others should wait for better information or more capacity.

Your part
Approve, adjust, decline, or ask.
Aptic's part
Prepares each proposal, and a consultant checks the ones that need a person.
Waiting for your decision Illustrative example

Move $40 a day from broad drain searches to water heater replacement

ReasoningEach ad dollar returns $0.46 in gross profit on broad drain searches, and $3.73 on water heaters.

Expected benefitAbout $1,500 more gross profit every two weeks.

TradeoffAbout 25 fewer leads, so fewer calls to answer.

LimitsTotal spend unchanged. Undone if gross profit falls more than 20%.

Carry out the agreed work

Aptic performs supported actions within the authority you have granted, with its consultants guiding and checking the work. Where delivery depends on you, a colleague, or another provider, the work stays attached to that responsibility.

Completed requests are checked against the available evidence before being treated as confirmed changes.

Your part
Handle the tasks that are yours or your team’s.
Aptic's part
Aptic's AI agents carry out the supported changes, and each one is confirmed in the account.
The agreed work Illustrative example
  1. Budgets changed in Google Ads

  3. Can the crews take 4 more installs a month?

  4. Update water heater prices on the website

    Office manager · Open · Due Friday

A change counts as made only once the account shows it.

Review the outcome

Aptic follows the result over an appropriate period, compares it with the starting point, and records what the evidence supports.

That review informs the next decision: continue, adjust, stop, or investigate further.

Your part
Choose to continue, adjust, stop, or investigate further.
Aptic's part
Follows the result, compares it with the starting point, and says how strong the evidence is.
