Separate FolderOps validation experiment — no orders or payments are accepted on this page.
Separate validation experiment · Irish trades & field-service

Would a €99 rescue make your existing job spreadsheet easier to run?

This experiment tests whether small businesses would value a simple service that improves the Excel or Google Sheets tracker they already use for jobs, costs, invoices and outstanding payments — without moving to new software.

€99 is a proposed pilot price only. Expressing interest doesn’t create an order, contract or payment obligation.

The idea, in three steps

Before

A tracker you can’t fully trust

Grown with the business, now patchy and hard to read.

Rescue

We fix the control points

One workbook, one core workflow, up to three calculations.

  • Standardise job IDs and statuses
  • Repair broken or missing calculations
  • Auto-total cost, profit and outstanding
  • Add a management summary view

After

A dependable view at a glance

Same file, now clear on money and margin.

Rescued example

Built for validation — all names and figures are fictional, and this is not a customer testimonial.

Illustrative job-control dashboard: KPIs for invoiced, paid, outstanding and profit, a per-job table, and an invoiced-vs-cost-vs-profit chart.
The idea being tested

If the spreadsheet basically works but has become hard to trust, is fixing it better than replacing it?

The hypothesis is that many trades and field-service businesses would rather improve the file they already understand than migrate to another platform. This page exists to find out whether that’s true — including finding out that it isn’t.

Keep the existing tool

Start from the Excel or Google Sheets file the business already knows.

Fix the key control points

Job status, costs, invoicing, outstanding amounts and the calculations that drive them.

Improve visibility

A clearer tracker and a management view — without a forced system migration.

Proposed pilot

A deliberately small, fixed scope — so the €99 question tests one clear outcome.

Narrow on purpose: this isn’t open-ended spreadsheet consultancy. The point is to learn whether a small, specific rescue is worth paying for.

This scope is being tested and may change before any commercial launch.

Proposed pilot price
€99 proposed

Honest boundary

What the pilot would and wouldn’t take on.

Keeping the edges clear is what makes the €99 test meaningful rather than a stand-in for a much bigger job.

Currently proposed

  • One Excel or Google Sheets workbook
  • One main job-control workflow
  • Up to three calculations improved or repaired
  • One summary / dashboard view
  • One revision

Outside the experiment

  • Full accounting, tax or payroll systems
  • Multi-app implementations
  • Large linked-workbook rebuilds
  • Custom mobile software
  • Replacing a full field-service platform
How to take part

Four steps, each a little more committing than the last.

We want to tell casual interest apart from genuine intent before deciding whether to launch the service commercially. No payment is requested at any step.

1

Problem resonance

Tell us whether your current tracker has this kind of problem.

Yes, this sounds familiar
2

Solution interest

Ask to see the before/after example and decide whether the outcome is useful.

Send me the example
3

Behavioural intent

Describe your tracker and the one problem you’d want fixed. Don’t send the workbook yet.

Check whether mine fits
4

Commercial intent

Tell us whether you’d consider paying the proposed €99 if the scope fits.

I’d consider €99

Have a tracker that basically works but is getting harder to trust?

Describe the problem first. No card details, payment or live workbook are needed during validation.
