A co-development partnership for agency leaders

Tell us what would transform how your agency runs. We'll build it — at our cost.

You already know Time Champ for time-tracking and monitoring. Now we want to build the rest of your operating floor with you — billable utilisation, project allocation, capacity, creative QA — designed around your workflows, run free in production for six months. No cost, no obligation.

Free to run for six months — the kind of platform that's normally a major build.

The number that moves everything

Billable utilisation per creative

Every non-billable hour, every reopened deliverable, every idle seat erodes the same number — it is the one metric that ties capacity, margin and delivery together.

Why us

You already know us as Time Champ

You already trust us to measure where time goes — that is Time Champ today. But turning that signal into the system that runs your floor, scopes engagements, protects utilisation and catches a deliverable before the client does is a full-time product discipline. It is not a plugin or a dashboard you should be maintaining between pitches. That build is our job, not yours. We design it around your studio's actual workflows, carry the engineering cost ourselves, and you run it in production for six months before deciding anything. The platform does not exist yet — we build it with you.

The offer

An honest trade — no catch

Here's exactly what each side gets. We're not giving software away; we're building a product with a real operation, and you get the first and best of it.

What you get

  • The platform built to your workflows, at our cost
  • Six months of free use, live in production
  • Comparable to a ~₹50 lakh custom build
  • A 6–12 month lead before anyone else has it
  • Preferential founding-customer pricing
  • No obligation to continue

What we get

  • Deep domain knowledge from a real operation
  • A platform proven on a live floor
  • If it earns it — a reference for the market

What we'll build

One product, built around your floor

Not a phased wishlist — one platform, with every module your operation runs on, designed to your workflows. Here's what's inside it.

A note on AI. Wherever you see the AI tag below, it marks a specific job — reading a file, scoring an account, predicting an action. No buzzwords; each line says exactly what the model does, and modules that don't use AI don't carry the tag.

Time & billable tracking

Every hour mapped to client, task and rate

Billable vs non-billable split
Auto-classify time against client work, internal, pitch and admin so utilisation is real, not guessed.
AISuggests the likely client/task for an unlabelled time block from the apps and files in use, for one-tap confirmation.
Timesheet capture from activity
Pre-fill timesheets from tracked application and document activity so creatives confirm instead of recall.
Rate cards & cost-vs-bill
Hold per-role and per-client rates; surface cost-to-serve against what is actually billed.
Write-off & leakage flagging
Highlight hours logged but never invoiced, per project and per account.
Retainer burn tracking
Track hours consumed against each retainer in real time, not at month-end.
Value add: Closes the gap between hours worked and hours invoiced — the single biggest leak in agency margin.

Project & client-work allocation

Match the right creative to the right brief

Brief-to-task breakdown
Turn an incoming brief into scoped tasks with owners, estimates and due dates.
Skill-aware assignment
Route work by discipline, seniority and current load — not just who replied first.
AIRecommends an assignee by matching brief requirements to skills and live availability.
Estimate vs actual tracking
Compare scoped hours to logged hours per deliverable to catch overruns while they're fixable.
Client & account view
See every live deliverable, owner and status rolled up by account.
Dependency & handoff flags
Surface blocked handoffs between strategy, design and dev before they stall a deadline.
Value add: Keeps utilisation high without overloading anyone — assignment becomes a decision, not a scramble.

Capacity & resourcing

See who is overloaded before they burn out

Forward capacity heatmap
Week-by-week view of committed vs available hours across the studio.
Overallocation alerts
Flag creatives booked beyond a healthy threshold before the week starts.
Pipeline-to-capacity match
Stage likely-to-close pitches against available hours to staff ahead of the win.
AIProjects required capacity from weighted pipeline so hiring or freelance decisions happen early.
Freelance & bench planning
Model where contract support closes a gap versus reshuffling internal load.
Value add: Turns staffing from gut feel into a forward view — protects both margin and your people.

Creative work QA

Catch it before the client does

Pre-delivery checklists
Enforce brand, spec, legal and link checks per deliverable type before anything ships.
Brand & spec compliance scan
Check assets against logo usage, colour, type and dimension rules automatically.
AIFlags off-brand colours, wrong logo variants and out-of-spec dimensions on uploaded assets.
Versioned review & approval
Track every round of internal and client review with a clear approved state.
Rework root-cause logging
Tag why a deliverable was reopened — brief gap, exec error, scope change — to fix the pattern.
Value add: Fewer reopened deliverables and re-work cycles — the quiet killer of utilisation and timelines.

Workforce intelligence & monitoring

Where studio time actually goes

Application & tool usage
See time in design, edit, comms and admin tools across the studio.
Focus vs context-switching
Surface fragmentation that quietly drags down creative throughput.
Idle & active patterns
Distinguish deep-work blocks from idle seats without micromanaging individuals.
Privacy-respecting defaults
Aggregate, configurable monitoring tuned for creative teams, not surveillance.
Value add: Grounds every utilisation and capacity decision in real activity, not self-reported guesses.

Performance (PMS)

Tie reviews to delivery, not vibes

Utilisation & quality scorecards
Per-creative view of billable rate, rework and on-time delivery over time.
Goal & OKR tracking
Set and review individual and pod goals against real output.
360 & client-feedback capture
Fold peer input and client sentiment into the review record.
Review cycles & history
Run structured appraisals with a retained trail of past cycles.
Value add: Connects appraisal to utilisation, quality and on-time delivery so growth conversations are evidence-based.

Learning & SOPs

Onboard faster, standardise the craft

Studio SOP library
Central, versioned playbooks for delivery, tools and client handling.
Role-based onboarding paths
Structured ramp tracks per discipline so new hires bill sooner.
SOP-linked QA
Tie checklist steps back to the SOP that defines the standard.
Value add: Shortens ramp time and keeps quality consistent as the studio scales.

Login & credential management

Control access to client accounts

Client platform access registry
Track who holds access to each client's ad, social and analytics accounts.
Onboarding/offboarding workflows
Grant and revoke access cleanly as people and accounts move.
Credential vault & sharing
Share client logins without passing plaintext passwords around.
Access audit trail
Keep a record of who accessed what, for client and security reviews.
Value add: Removes a real liability — shared logins and orphaned access to client platforms and ad accounts.

How the six months works

From scope to decision, on a fixed cadence

1

Scope · weeks 1–2

You name the priorities; we lock the success criteria together.

2

Build · months 1–4

We engineer; you review on a fixed cadence with your SMEs.

3

Run · months 4–6

Live on your floor, measured against the criteria we agreed.

4

Decide · month 6

Continue on founding terms, or walk away owing nothing.

What we need from you: a named champion, a few SMEs, and honest feedback. That's the whole ask.

Your protections

The guardrails, in writing

You own your process IP

Your proprietary workflows stay yours and are never productised.

Clear licensing

We own the platform; you get free use through the pilot.

Your data stays yours

Your studio's data, client work and credentials stay yours — handled under SOC 2 / ISO 27001-aligned controls, with role-based access and a full audit trail.

No obligation

If it doesn't earn its place, you walk away owing nothing.

Leadership behind it

A named champion and a few SMEs who can shape what we build.

A problem worth solving

A clear place where time, cost or rework piles up today.

Appetite to co-design
