Access to the route

Clay-to-Pipeline Build Sprint
Build the system between your GTM tools.
A focused 10-14 day sprint that builds the operating system between Clay/Apollo, outbound tools, CRM, alerts, and reporting: account sourcing, enrichment, scoring, suppression, outbound handoff, CRM sync, reply routing, and dashboards.

The route we build
We follow one lead from source to reporting.
The sprint follows a single lead across six stages and builds what each one has to get right before the next. This is the route — and the build is scoped to it.

How the sprint runs
A four-step engagement, scoped to one workflow.
The sprint moves from auditing the live motion to handing the routine back. Each step produces a decision the next one builds on.
01
Audit the live motion
Review the current tools, replies, reports, ownership, and handoffs exactly as they run today.
02
Map the decisions
Define the fields, owners, systems of record, routing, and exceptions the route depends on.
03
Build and repair
Build the missing workflow pieces and fix the scoped breakpoints inside the tools your team runs.
04
Handoff the routine
Leave the team with the artifacts and operating notes to keep it running.
What we need from you
Four things make the sprint work.
If you can bring these, the engagement moves fast. If you can't yet, the fit check will tell you what to line up first.
02
A motion to build around
An active outbound workflow — or, if we're building from zero, a clear ICP and offer. The sprint needs a motion to shape the system around.
03
A workflow owner
One person who can walk us through how leads actually move today — and make field and routing decisions.
04
A little of their time
Roughly 60–90 minutes of that owner's time per week during the sprint, for decisions and the final handoff.
What your team receives
Artifacts your team keeps and uses.
Every output is something the team can open after the sprint — a map, a rule set, or a note that keeps the route honest.

Scope & investment
What the sprint covers, and what it doesn’t.
The sprint stays narrow on purpose: one workflow, your tools, a fixed window — priced only after the audit shows the real build depth.
- Scope
- One lead-to-reporting workflow, built or repaired in your stack.
- Window
- 10-14 days after fit is confirmed.
- Investment
- Scoped after the audit, based on stack complexity and cleanup depth.
