You can buy any plan as an individual or on behalf of a business. All prices are one-time, in GBP (£).
Operations and workflow design

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Kilnbyte plans
Each plan focuses on a different part of your operations. Smaller plans like Operational Snapshot (£49) help you diagnose where things are messy. Mid-range plans like Operations Hub Starter (£79) or SOP Launchpad (£129) help you build specific systems. Larger plans like Operations Architecture Lab (£999) give you everything to redesign your entire operations landscape. Start with the problem that hurts most.
Yes! Plans are designed to stack. Many founders start with Operational Snapshot to get clear, then add Operations Hub Starter to build their hub, then layer in SOP Launchpad when they're ready to document processes. You don't need to buy everything at once – build your operations in stages as your capacity and energy allow.
Templates are provided in tool-agnostic formats that work with Notion, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or similar tools. You'll get clear structures and frameworks you can copy into whatever tools you already use – no need to buy new software or subscriptions. If you prefer spreadsheets over docs, or vice versa, we provide options for both.
It depends on the plan. Smaller plans like Operational Snapshot can be completed in 2-3 focused sessions over a week. Mid-range plans like Operations Hub Starter typically take 3-4 weeks of part-time work. Larger plans like Operations Architecture Lab are designed for implementation over 2-3 months. Each plan includes a realistic timeline and session-by-session approach so you know what to expect.
Plans are fixed-scope consulting kits with step-by-step guidance, examples, and clear instructions. They're designed so you can implement them yourself. Each plan includes consulting on how to use the frameworks effectively. However, if you need ongoing hands-on support, you can add separate implementation assistance to work through a plan together.
That's what the Custom Operations Architecture Kit is for. If your business model, team structure, or operations context doesn't fit a pre-defined plan, we can design something tailored to your exact situation. You share what feels hard, we propose a scope and fixed price, and then we build a focused plan around your specific needs.
Most plans work for both solo founders and tiny teams (2-5 people). Plans like Role & Delegation Foundations are specifically designed for founders planning to bring in help. The Operations Playbook Development is perfect for small teams who need shared documentation. If you have a larger team (6+ people), the Custom Operations Architecture Kit lets us design something scaled for your specific size.
Yes, you can purchase plans as an individual or on behalf of a business. All prices are one-time payments in GBP (£) and include full usage rights for your business. If you need a formal invoice, purchase order process, or business documentation, just let us know and we'll accommodate your company's requirements.
Not sure where to start?
If you're in "everything is messy" mode, a simple path is:
Recommended Starting Path:
- Operational Snapshot & Priorities Kit – to see what's really going on
- Operations Hub Starter Kit – to give your work one clear home
- Add SOP Launchpad or Client Journey & Communication depending on whether internal systems or client experience hurts more
If your situation feels unusual or complex, a short conversation and a Custom Operations Architecture Kit may be a better fit.
