Questions About Growth Systems

Conjai is a growth systems engineering firm in Indianapolis. It connects marketing, sales and operations so a business can take more demand without adding headcount at the same rate. We fix the system behind the growth. Conjai is not a SaaS product, not an ads agency and not a generic automation shop.

The Complexity Ceiling is the point where a company is too sophisticated for manual coordination but too lean to staff an enterprise operations team. Growth adds handoffs faster than it adds people to carry them.

Look for the symptoms: you do not fully trust your CRM or field system's data; people copy information between systems; your tools disagree with each other; follow-up depends on memory; you add headcount to manage process; attribution is unclear; reporting is assembled by hand; the owner is stuck in avoidable steps; after-hours and overflow calls do not become booked jobs; you can tie ad spend to clicks or calls but not to invoices.

Every tool you add can hand off to every tool already there. Three connected systems give up to 3 handoffs; eight give up to 28. A stack is not a system. The fix is usually the connections, ownership and data rules between the tools you already pay for.

Usually not. Most problems belong to the system, not the person. Workarounds such as spreadsheets, personal inboxes and "I just remember" are the system telling you it drifted. Hiring people to absorb a broken process fixes the symptom and deepens the dependency.

Yes, where intelligence improves the workflow. We use ordinary automation where reliability matters more. The business result picks the technology. AI goes on top of a sound handoff, never on a broken one.

No. We make the demand you already pay for survive the trip from first contact to invoice.

No. Conjai is a growth systems engineering firm. Revenue operations is part of what we build for B2B teams, and we often work alongside a RevOps lead. The same work also covers retail channels and field service operations.

Most clients are established businesses doing roughly $1M to $15M a year, with real customers and a real team: often 3 to 20 people in multi-channel retail, 10 to 50 in B2B, and 10 to 30 technicians or trucks in field service. The better test is the work. If it crosses systems and people, repeats every week, and depends on re-typing, memory or the owner stepping in, the fit is real. We do not work with pre-revenue ideas or businesses without steady demand.

Three most often: multi-channel retailers, B2B companies with a real sales cycle, and regional field service businesses such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing. Other businesses fit when the same pattern shows up: work that crosses several systems and several people and breaks at the handoffs.

No. Conjai is based in Indianapolis, and the diagnostic, build and improvement work is done remotely with teams anywhere in the US.

No. We engineer the connections, the validation rules and the data flow between platforms. Your agency keeps driving demand, your operations leaders get numbers they can trust, and your team spends less time on manual triage and reconciliation.

Joshua Pyne, Conjai's founder, leads every Diagnose and is on every readout. Before Conjai he sold, structured and scaled digital, data and media programs as an executive, so he has sat on both sides of the table.

A short form at conjai.com/go/assessment. You describe where the work gets stuck. We reply within one business day, and if it looks like a fit we book a 30-minute Operational Fit Review.

We spend most of it on one workflow: where it waits, where someone re-types something, and what happens when it goes wrong. By the end we tell you plainly whether Diagnose is worth doing and what it costs. If the platform you have is enough, we say so.

About two weeks of read-only work on your actual systems. We map how the work really moves, measure a baseline, estimate what each gap costs, and give you a prioritized roadmap. It is a diagnostic built on your systems, not a generic deck.

An executive summary; a System Fit Map; a Handoff Map; a Source-of-Truth Matrix; a Baseline Scorecard; a Leak Estimate; a Stack and Spend Register; an Access and Risk Register; quick wins your team can do without us; a prioritized roadmap with effort and budget ranges; and a readout session. A Build proposal is optional, and you owe nothing for it.

About 6 to 10 person-hours in total, most of it in week one: a 60-minute kickoff, 30 to 60 minutes to grant read-only access, 45-minute interviews with the 3 to 6 people who do the work, and a 90-minute readout.

No. Diagnose is read-only. Nothing is configured, altered or interrupted.

Diagnose is a fixed fee, starting at $3,500, set by how many systems and workflows are in scope. We quote it on the Operational Fit Review, before you commit, and it is credited toward Build if you go ahead.

Yes, and we recommend it. Diagnose can cover a single workflow end to end, such as inquiry to booked call or order to shipment. Prove one, then scale the pattern.

Then you will know that, with the measurements to show it. You keep the baseline, the handoff maps and the stack register either way. We do not offer guarantees.

Tell us what it measured. If it covered one tool, Diagnose follows the work between tools. If it is recent, we use it and narrow the scope.

A free audit is often the first step of a sale for that platform. Conjai recommends no tool for a referral fee or commission, and you own the result.

We cannot price a build fairly without seeing the system. Diagnose is how we avoid guessing, and its fee comes off Build.

When the problem is one tool's settings (the vendor's support is faster), when the problem does not repeat yet, or when the real issue is leadership, hiring or culture. We will say so.

No. Migrations are expensive, they interrupt the business, and they rarely fix the root cause. We make the tools you already pay for work together reliably. We recommend replacing a tool only when it cannot support the workflow at all.

Existing platforms first: native APIs, webhooks and standard connectors. When those cannot carry the data rules or business logic the workflow needs, we write small, documented integration code that runs on your accounts.

The ones you already use. Typical examples are HubSpot and other CRMs; Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, Etsy and BigCommerce; and the field service and scheduling platforms already in place. The list is representative, not a claim that we have integrated every one of them.

Build typically runs four to ten weeks: we connect tools, automate predictable work, redesign handoffs and apply AI only where it improves the workflow. Improve is monthly and you can cancel any time: monitoring, a monthly review and an improvement roadmap, without standing up an internal operations department.

Build is quoted as a fixed price after Diagnose, from the roadmap. The proposal names the price, the scope and the benchmarks Build is judged against, and the Diagnose fee is credited toward it.

The first quick wins arrive with the Diagnose readout at the end of week two, and each is something your team can do within a week without us. During Build, workflows go live in stages rather than in one launch at the end, so each one settles before the next.

Diagnose measures a baseline on the numbers that matter in your workflow, with the source and method for each. After Build we measure the same numbers the same way, so the result is a before-and-after comparison, not an opinion.

You do, at each stage you pay for. After Diagnose you own the assessment, the summary and the recommendations. After Build you own the plan, its objectives and benchmarks, the tool recommendations, and the system and processes we configure. During Improve you own the rollout playbooks, schedules, reports and forms we produce.

The system keeps running. It is on your accounts and in your name. You stop getting the monitoring, the monthly review and the improvement roadmap.

No. We work through access you grant on your own platforms and APIs, and you can revoke it at any time. We keep no personal or proprietary data in-house.

Yours. We help choose and connect them, but the subscriptions, licences, connectors and data belong to you from day one.

Yes. The statement of work carries mutual confidentiality terms, and we will sign your mutual NDA before any access is granted if you prefer one.

We ask for least-privilege, read-only access during Diagnose, granted through your own admin controls, with step-by-step instructions for each tool. All access is revoked at close-out unless you go ahead with Build.

With one item's trip from acquisition to listing on every channel, and one order's trip to fulfillment. Drops are not stock. The question is which system is right when two disagree, and who owns the exception.

Usually not. The agency bought the call. The system still dropped the job. Diagnose follows the call to the booking, the estimate to the follow-up, and the job to the invoice, and finds where it falls out.

A CRM nobody trusts is a filing cabinet with a login. Diagnose finds where the record stops being right: who owns each lead, where the source gets lost before the invoice, and which numbers in your reports do not reconcile.

When sales marks a deal won, the handoff to delivery often runs on email threads, manual folder setup and memory. Diagnose follows that handoff from signed agreement to project start and first client update, and shows where it stalls and who owns each step.

Yes. HEAT4YAFEAT, a multi-channel retailer, has 650+ pairs placed, 99.1% positive feedback on eBay, and has been selling since 2016. Any other example we share is labelled "Illustrative — not a client result."
