F-01
Your best engineers are debugging a customer's webhook instead of shipping the roadmap.
Every go-live becomes an engineering project. The roadmap pays for it.

Integration consultancy for API-first SaaS
Signed isn't live.
The integration's still “in progress,” and the revenue's stuck behind it. We find the stall, fix the worst one, and leave your team the playbook.

Go-live at risk
The problem
The kickoff call went great. That was five months ago.
If your product only earns money once the customer is integrated, every stalled go-live is revenue you already sold and can't touch. Here's what that usually looks like from the inside.
F-02
The revenue is signed but stuck. Finance keeps asking why they can't recognize it.
You did the hard part — you sold it. Implementation is holding the money hostage.
Severe
F-03
CS is running go-lives on spreadsheets and hope. Every account is a special case.
Heroics work until the third enterprise deal lands in the same quarter.
Weak
F-04
Every enterprise deal arrives with a “small” integration ask. It's never small.
Sales said yes in a demo. Your team finds out what “yes” meant later.
Weak
F-05
The customer's excitement has a shelf life. It expires before first value.
Nobody churns louder than a customer who never went live.

How Kade works
Score. Fix. Systemize.
Same order every time, because you can't fix what you haven't measured — and a fix that only lives in our heads is a subscription, not a solution.
01
Diagnose
Score
We run your onboarding through the Integration Scorecard — thirty minutes per account, ten dimensions, no workshops. You see exactly where go-lives stall and which stall costs you the most.
Ranked findings
02
Remove
Fix
We take the worst bottleneck and remove it. Working sessions with your team, real tooling, real runbooks. A defined finish line — not a retainer that never ends.
Bottleneck gone
03
Systemize
Systemize
We turn the fix into a playbook your team runs without us. Every new deal scored, every go-live on a clock, no heroics required. You keep the machine.
Your playbook
Offerings
Three ways in. Start where it hurts.
Each one stands alone. Most teams start with the teardown because it's the cheapest way to find out if the rest is worth it.
Scorecard Teardown
Know exactly why your go-lives stall.
We score your onboarding across ten dimensions and walk you through the ranked findings live — the full cost of each stall, per account — whether you fix it with us or not.
Go-Live Sprint
Remove the bottleneck that costs you most.
We take the top finding from your teardown and get it fixed with the people who own onboarding — runbooks, templates and tooling that stay. Working sessions, not slide reviews. Scoped, quoted, finished.
Embedded Partner
A go-live machine your team runs.
We stay embedded while the playbook becomes muscle memory: every new deal scored before kickoff, every go-live on a clock reviewed monthly, and a standing escalation line when something new breaks.
Pricing
Anchors, not mysteries.
You've been burned by hourly meters before. Here's how we price instead.
01Published anchors
Every engagement starts from the anchor below. No "it depends" until we've actually looked at your setup.
02Fixed quote before we start
You get one number, in writing, before any work begins. If it takes us longer, that's our problem — not your invoice.
03We say no fast
If we're not the right fix, you'll hear it on the first call. We'd rather lose a deal than invent work.

Quarterly
One number, and how we get to it.
The first call is where the number comes from. You walk us through the shape of it — how many accounts are stuck, how long they've been stuck, what getting them live is worth to you.
If we've seen enough, you get a fixed quote by the end of that week: one number, in writing, before any work starts. If we haven't, we tell you exactly what we'd need to look at first — and looking is free. No discovery phase you pay for. No statement of work that takes longer to write than the fix takes to ship.
Not sure which fits? That's what the first call is for. Twenty minutes, your numbers, no pitch.

The things you'd ask on the call anyway.
Good — keep them. We're not a replacement, we're a diagnosis. Your solutions team is heads-down inside individual accounts; the scorecard looks across all of them and finds the pattern. Most of our findings end up executed by the team you already have.
"Everything is custom" is usually the first finding. The dimensions we score — docs, sandbox parity, error surfacing, webhook reliability, handoffs — exist in every integration business. If yours genuinely doesn't fit, the teardown will show that too, and it will have cost you a week.
Then you have a scored, documented answer to "why do go-lives take so long?" that says it isn't your onboarding — which is worth having when the board asks. We'd genuinely rather tell you that than invent work.
We ship what removes the bottleneck: runbooks, tooling, templates, and code when code is the fix. What we don't ship is a 60-page deck and a goodbye. Every engagement ends with something your team runs, not something they read.
Because a meter running changes how both sides behave. A fixed quote means slow is our problem, not your invoice. It also keeps us honest about scope — we only take engagements where we can see the finish line.
