YES. BRING US THIS.
Good, fixable faff
- It happens every day, week or month
- People copy, re-key, reconcile or chase
- Two or more tools are involved
- Mistakes create cost, delay or embarrassment
- Someone owns the outcome

SHOW US
THE FAFF.
WE’LL SHOW IT
THE BIN.
That copy-paste-chase-retype workaround is not “just how we do it”. Walk us through it. We’ll see if a small piece of software can make it disappear.
NO BIG BRIEF.One real workflow. Shared screen. Plain English.

01 / COUNT IT
How much faff are we talking?
Put rough numbers on one repeated task. Nothing is sent anywhere.
That could be around22 hoursof faff every monthRoughly 35 working days a year.
A rough prompt, not a savings promise. The screen-share finds out what is genuinely removable.
02 / CALL IT
Is it the right sort of faff?
PROBABLY NOT.
Bigger than a bin bag
- A replacement for your entire core platform
- An app idea with no operational owner
- “Put AI on it” without a clear job
- A broken process nobody can agree on
- Headcount reduction as the only outcome
Not sure? Good. The screen-share is there to find out.
03 / NAME IT
Faff has many disguises.
…but it happens 40 times a week.
…and Sarah would quite like a holiday.
…so your team does the talking for them.
…which is history, not a business case.
04 / BIN IT
What happens on the call?
No deck. No “digital transformation” preamble. Just the work.
- 00:00
Show the real thing
Open the inbox, spreadsheet, portal or form. Take us through one normal example.
- 00:10
Find the friction
We ask where information starts, who touches it, what goes wrong and what a good finish looks like.
- 00:22
Test the small-fix theory
We sketch what could be joined, simplified or automated — and what should remain human.
- 00:30
Leave with a straight answer
Useful next step, more discovery needed, or not worth building. All three are acceptable answers.

See how WorkFettle works ↗05 / ASK IT
Sensible questions. Straight answers.
Is the screen-share really free?
Yes. It is a 30-minute fit check, not a disguised workshop. We will understand the workflow, ask a few useful questions and tell you whether there is a plausible next step.
Do we need to prepare anything?
No slide deck. Have the real tools, spreadsheet, inbox or forms to hand and be ready to walk through one normal example.
Will you try to replace all our software?
No. The point is usually to remove the awkward work between your existing systems, not create a bigger migration.
What if automation is not the answer?
We will say so. Sometimes a cleaner template, a changed hand-off or one feature in a tool you already own is enough.
How much does a fix cost?
A tightly bounded automation often starts around £950. Focused micro-apps are commonly £4,000–£12,000, with managed hosting and support from £95 a month. You get a clear scope and price before paid work starts.
Where does WorkFettle come in?
WorkFettle is the company behind Bin the Faff. Bin the Faff finds the operational snag; WorkFettle designs, builds, hosts and supports the right-sized fix.
06 / REPORT ITRIGHT.
RIGHT.
WHAT’S THE
FAFF?
Give us the scrappy version. We will reply with a couple of times for a 30-minute screen-share.
