The Stack Seams Score2 minutes10 yes/no questionsYour score by email

How many seams are you paying for?

Every place two tools meet is a seam: a copy-paste, a lookup, a reconciliation, a sync you hope is right. Ten questions; we score it and email you the three most expensive ones as the time they cost.

What the score means

0–2 tight — your tools talk to each other; the ten questions are still worth having.
3–5 a few expensive seams — the trial shows what closes them.
6–8 you pay for the seams every day — thirty minutes on your worst ticket is worth it.
9–10 the seams are the job.

What arrives

One email within a minute: your score, your three most expensive seams as minutes per technician per day, the tools you named reflected back, and the one next step that fits. Then four short notes over two weeks for your track — Consolidator, Automator, Security-first or Skeptic — each with one click to stop.

The same handful of things stay stubbornly manual no matter how many products you buy from the same logo.
