The judgment is human.
Jean C. Leyva
BA in International Business with a specialization in Business IT, IPN (Mexico).
To know whether a business needs software you first have to understand how it makes money, where its time goes and what its team can actually sustain. That read is a business read, not a code one. That's why ELVO diagnoses before it programs, and why sometimes the recommendation is to build nothing at all.
Our method
Five stages, each with a named deliverable. Not a description of how we work: a procedure that can be repeated.
Stage 01
Measure
Evidence without opinion: technical x-ray plus an inventory of what you already use.
- Deliverable
- Dated x-ray and baseline
- When
- Automatic plus human review
Stage 02
Understand
Operation, goals, real constraints and the actual bottleneck.
- Deliverable
- Operations map
- When
- 45-minute session
Stage 03
Prioritize
Impact, urgency, effort and expected return.
- Deliverable
- Priority board, including what we recommend not doing
- When
- After the session
Stage 04
Build
Only what the evidence justified.
- Deliverable
- Proposal and quote
- When
- Depends on scope
Stage 05
Improve
We measure again against the baseline from stage 01.
- Deliverable
- Improvement report
- When
- Follow-up measurement
Frequently asked questions
Why is it free?
Because it's how we show judgment before asking you to trust us. If a project comes out of it, we quote it. If it doesn't, you keep the diagnosis.
Are you going to try to sell me something?
Only if the diagnosis justifies it. If your problem is solved by changing a process instead of buying software, that's what we'll tell you.
Do you take everyone who asks?
We review every case. If we can see we won't add value, we say so honestly instead of selling you a session.
What if my business has no website?
Then we start on the inside: the opportunity may be in how you operate. That's what the operations diagnosis is for.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the finding. After the diagnosis you get a formal quote with real scope and timelines.
How big does my business have to be?
We work with everything from one-person businesses to companies with a team. What matters is that there's a real problem worth measuring.
Who handles my data?
ELVO and its infrastructure providers (Vercel, Resend, Upstash, Anthropic for the chatbot, and WhatsApp if you pick that channel), only to deliver your diagnosis and follow up on it. We don't ask for sensitive data, we don't sell it or share it for advertising, and we don't store the full chatbot conversation. Discarded requests are deleted within 90 days and prospects 24 months after the last interaction. The detail is in the Privacy Notice.
