Ask the people who do the work.
A director knows where the company loses money. The employees know where it loses hours, and they are not the same places. Our audit asks them, seven minutes each, and adds it up.
The questionnaire is ours, built for Monaco companies, with your name and logo on it. It is the first step of a full audit and, on its own, the best picture of a company’s week most directors have ever seen.
What each employee answers
Eight screens, on a phone or a laptop, in French or English, no login, first name optional. Which department. Which tools they open every week, chosen from 150 with their logos. Where they re-type information from one tool into another. The tasks they have done a hundred times, with how often, how long, and whether a new colleague could do them from written instructions. What they waited for last week and from which department. The questions people keep asking them. The one task they would hand over tomorrow. Two honest scores on comfort with new tools and with an assistant that drafts.
What the company gets back
Every task ranked by hours per month and by how mechanical it is: that ranking is the automation roadmap. Hours by department. A matrix of who waits for whom, with the bottlenecks highlighted; this is usually the page the director reads twice. The tools in use and the pairs people copy between. The repeated questions and where the answer lives today (nowhere, in someone’s head, in a document). The employees’ own words on what they would do with the hours. And the pilot users: the people comfortable enough to start.
What it is not
Surveillance. Nobody is named against their will, nobody rates a colleague, and the questions are about the work, not the people. We say so on the first screen, because an audit that employees distrust produces polite answers and a wrong roadmap. The results go to us and to you; the raw answers stay with us.
What we do for it.
Start with the quick-check
30 minutes. If your company has several teams, the questionnaire goes out the same week.
The full audit
Questionnaire, conversations, a written roadmap, deducted from the first project.
Then: two weeks
The first task on the roadmap, prototyped on your real data.
Built for Monaco companies
The questionnaire knows the tools Monaco uses (Pennylane and Sage, HubSpot and Pipedrive, the hotel and real-estate systems, WhatsApp) and the way Monaco companies work: small departments, people in two languages, the owner in the room. It takes seven minutes because that is what an employee will give you on a Tuesday. We ran it on ourselves first.
Questions.
Is it really anonymous?
The first name is optional and the questions never ask about colleagues by name. Department and role are needed to connect the answers; in a very small team that can identify someone, and we say so on the first screen.
How long does the whole audit take?
The questionnaire runs for a week; the results are ready as answers come in. With the conversations and the written roadmap, two to four weeks.
Can we run it without the rest of the audit?
Yes, as part of the quick-check for companies with several teams. The results page alone is useful; the roadmap needs the conversations.
Do employees need an account?
No. One link per company, which you send by email or WhatsApp. It works on any phone.
Where are the answers stored?
On our EU-hosted server, outside any public AI tool, and deleted on request once the audit is delivered.

AI audit in Monaco
Before anyone builds anything, you should know which tasks are worth automating, in what order, and what each would give back. That is the audit. It comes in two sizes, and both end with a document you keep.
AI for operations and processes in Monaco
A booking that creates the job sheet, orders the supplies, schedules the team and confirms to the client. A delivery that updates the stock, the invoice and the next order. The chain, without the phone calls in between.
How we work
Small steps, each one paid back before the next: a free 30-minute quick-check, a two-week prototype on your real data, a build into your tools, then we run it and count the hours. Fixed prices per step, code you own, one person accountable.
Start with a 30-minute call. Keep what it finds.
You tell us where the hours go. We tell you which two or three tasks to automate first, in a short written note. Free, in English or French.
