The problem

Everyone is busy. Almost nobody knows what's working.

Timesheets tell you where the hours went. They don't tell you which hours made money, which ones built capability, and which ones you should never do again.

Hours without meaning

You can see 40 hours logged. You can't see that 9 of them produced almost everything the client actually paid for.

Margin leaks quietly

Low-value work doesn't announce itself. It creeps into calendars a half-hour at a time until a profitable client is a break-even one.

Reviews run on memory

Appraisals, pricing and hiring decisions get made on impressions, because nobody has the evidence in a form they can read.

How it works

Track once. Understand everything after.

Patch Learning takes about five minutes to set up and roughly ten seconds a day to keep honest.

STEP 01

Track

One-tap timers, calendar sync and bulk entry. Every block lands in one of four buckets — productive, routine, educational or personal — so the data is meaningful from day one.

STEP 02

Analyse

The Patch Analyser ranks every activity, client and team member by contribution, then draws the line where 80% of your results actually stop.

STEP 03

Act

Reprice the work that's underwater, automate the routine, and hand your Growth Plan a list of decisions backed by evidence instead of instinct.

See your own 80/20 in a fortnight.

Drop in your email and we'll spin up a workspace. Import a month of calendar history and the first Patch chart draws itself.

What changes in the first month.

“Three weeks in we could see exactly which nine hours of the week were producing almost everything. We stopped defending the busy work and doubled down on the vital few — revenue lifted without adding a single hour.”

“I've tried every time tracker on the market. This is the first one my team didn't quietly abandon after a fortnight — because they can see what it's telling them about their own week.”

DK
Daniel K.Operations Lead, consultancy

“Appraisal season used to be a fortnight of guesswork. Now I open one dashboard and the conversation is about evidence — who's carrying the team, who's stretched, and who's ready for more.”

Questions

Before you start.

That's the whole design brief. Timers are one tap, calendar events can be converted in bulk, and the daily commitment is measured in seconds. More importantly, everyone gets their own dashboard — people stick with tracking when the data is useful to them, not just to management.

The Patch Principle says a small share of your inputs produces most of your outputs. Patch Learning makes that concrete: it ranks every activity, client and service by contribution, then shows you exactly where the line falls in your business — so you can defend the vital few and prune the trivial many.

Import a month of calendar history and the first Patch chart is meaningful on day one. Two to three weeks of live tracking gives you enough resolution to make pricing and staffing decisions with confidence.

No. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging and no idle-time policing. Patch Learning measures the shape of work, not the person doing it — and individuals always see their own numbers first.

No — but your subscription does give you access to the whole platform anyway. Follow the tour and get great value from day one, and watch your productivity grow immediately for you and your team.

Your billing will start from your nominated credit card at $1.00 per week.
