Studio OS · Value

What is Studio worth to your business?

A small service business rarely loses money doing the work. It loses it between the jobs: extras that never reach an invoice, a discount given too easily, a client left waiting too long. Work out what that costs you in a year.

Calculate your number

Three questions, an answer straight away. Nothing is stored.

How we calculate

Revenue = jobs × average value × 12 months. The defaults are those of a typical small Estonian business; change them to yours.
Unbilled work: 1.5% of revenue. Extras, changes and hours over the fee that would otherwise go free.
Time: 2 hours per job, plus coordination at 1 hour a week and 15 minutes for each extra person (up to 4 hours a week). At most 3 hours per person per week, over 46 working weeks, at €20 an hour – about the average hourly labour cost in Estonia.
Risk: 0.5% of revenue a year as expected loss: a wrong order, a late handover, a client who leaves.
The range is 60–140% of the central figure. The result is compared with Studio's price: Solo for one person, Business for a team.
Growth is shown separately and is not in the total: inquiries won at 2% of revenue, Studio Network at one job a year (up to 1% of revenue), referrals at one job per 100.
The figures are an estimate, not a promise. The mechanisms come from the scenarios we test Studio against; your real number depends on how much is slipping through today.

New ways in

Saving is half the story. The other half is new work.

Once the work is in order it starts selling itself: clients get an answer straight away, see where their job stands, and find your services where buying now begins – in a conversation with their AI assistant.

Found by AI assistants

Studio Network is a public service catalogue with MCP and API interfaces. ChatGPT, Claude or another connected assistant can find the services you publish and send a price or availability request straight into your sales. Kairi prepares the answer; you approve it.

Example: a business owner asks their assistant to find an accountant in Estonia for a three-person company. The request reaches the bureau's Studio, Kairi checks capacity with Madis and the proposal waits for the owner's approval.

The catalogue and interfaces exist today. The assistant needs a Studio Network connection; being listed alone does not make ChatGPT recommend you.

A client portal people talk about

Clients see offers, contracts, invoices and the progress of their work in one place, and send messages and files into the same conversation. They never have to ask “how's it going?” and you never have to write that email.

Example: an architect's client sees the stages and “now: waiting for the municipality's design conditions”. When the client changes their mind, the page shows the new estimate, without the bureau's internal notes or risks.

A good experience is the reason for a referral. What clients can show their friends, they do.

An answer before your competitor's

Every inquiry gets a thought-through draft reply straight away: what is known, what is missing, what can be promised. The price follows your price list and past jobs; the date follows your team's real workload.

Example: a translation bureau sent an urgent quote only once two translators had confirmed. The client accepted within half an hour.

Whoever answers first, and accurately, often wins.

From real work

Where the money comes from

These stories are built from the scenarios we test Studio against. Names and figures are illustrative; the pattern is real: the money is already in your work, it just never reaches the invoice.

Accounting bureau

€4,125

a year, from one client

7.5 hours a month nobody billed

A four-person bureau asked which of its 41 retainer clients cost more than they paid. Seven did. The largest used 17.5 hours a month on a 10-hour fee, with no overage rate. Studio drafted the price-change letters, left out the client on a fixed first-year price and waited for the owner's approval.

IT company

31%

of support hours were really new work

The feature request that wasn't support

A client asked for a new warehouse view “while you're at it”. Studio recognised a change request, not maintenance, and proposed a paid €450 analysis before any build price. Looking back at September, 31% of support hours had been change work: about €430 a month on one client.

Terrace builder

€720

invoiced, not done as a favour

“Could you do the landing too?”

On site, the customer asked the carpenters to cover an extra 6 m² landing. The worker reported it in his own words. Studio separated it from the agreed work, kept the crew busy on the other site in the meantime and prepared a €720 change offer for the owner to approve. Nobody promised anything on the spot.

Cleaning company

4 min

from sick message to covered shift

Sick at 06:10, covered by 06:14

A cleaner reported a fever, in Russian, before a 07:00 dental clinic shift. Studio checked who was free and what the contract allowed, and gave the manager one decision: an evening clean the contract permits, and a message to the clinic before it opened. The client got an honest report; the contract kept its full fee.

Translation bureau

€1,018.50

urgent job, won in half an hour

A price with someone behind it

A Helsinki law firm needed 5,820 words translated by Thursday. Before quoting, Studio checked who could actually deliver, split the job between two translators and sent a quote with the urgent surcharge on its own line. The client accepted within half an hour.

Terrace builder

late handovers – and new work for November

Six terraces? We took three.

An association wanted six terraces before 15 November. Studio weighed the crew, logistics and cash, and brought the owner one decision instead of five questions: three terraces in November, after the current jobs are handed over. Every customer got their work on the date they were promised.
