Illustrative firm scenarios

12 illustrative scenarios showing how Canadian firm archetypes run their work in SpeedNum. No client data, no quotes, no measured results — workflow only.

Archetypes drawn from how Canadian practices actually organise work.

Every scenario below is illustrative. SpeedNum does not publish customer results it has not measured, so these pages describe firm archetypes and the workflow that fits them — no client names, no quotes, no numbers we cannot stand behind.
