Services

What we offer.

Five kinds of operational decisions where uncertainty is expensive. For each, we build the model, prove its value against your own history, and hand it over to your team.

03

Production Planning & Scheduling

Plans that are feasible on the shop floor, solve inside the decision window, and price the tradeoff between cost, speed, and stability.

Questions we answer

  • Which rules are physical limits, and which are preferences with a price?
  • How much plan stability is worth paying for?
  • Can the model solve in the time we actually have?

04

Logistics, Transportation & Maintenance

Routing, fleet sizing, network design, and spare-parts logistics designed for real variability rather than averages.

Questions we answer

  • How many vehicles, crews, or repair slots do we really need?
  • Which parts should be stocked where for the best readiness?
  • What is flexibility worth in our network?

How we engage

Start small, pay for outcomes.

Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee diagnostic, so you know what a problem is worth before committing to fix it. We price deliverables, not hours, and both partners are on every engagement.

01

Diagnostic

$22,500 fixed fee · 3 to 4 weeks

We review one decision end to end and tell you what it is costing and what to fix first.

  • An audit of the objective, constraints, and business rules
  • A replay of past decisions against what actually happened
  • A ranked roadmap of fixes, each with an estimated value
  • $10,000 credited toward a build if you proceed

02

Build

Fixed scope priced by milestone · quoted after the diagnostic

We build the model or policy, prove it against your history, and put it into production with your team.

  • Milestones tied to deliverables, not hours
  • Value proven by replay before go-live
  • Production deployment and handover
  • Optional value-linked fee (see below)

03

Advisory

From $10,000 per month · ongoing

A partner stays close to the system after launch, so it keeps earning as conditions change.

  • Model ownership, monitoring, and re-tuning
  • Quarterly review of realized value
  • Direct access to both partners
  • Support for new decisions as they arise

Value-linked option

Prefer to pay for results?

Because we prove value by replaying decisions against your own history, we can tie part of a build fee to it: a lower base fee plus an agreed share of the value the replay and live results demonstrate. We set the baseline and the measurement together before work starts.

Questions

Common questions.

What does Bit Bros do?
Bit Bros is a boutique applied economics and optimization firm. We help supply chain, logistics, and manufacturing leaders make better operational decisions under uncertainty: inventory and replenishment, demand planning and supply allocation, production planning, and logistics.
How much does an engagement cost?
Every engagement starts with a $22,500 fixed-fee diagnostic that takes 3 to 4 weeks, with $10,000 credited toward a build if you proceed. Builds are fixed scope and priced by milestone. Advisory starts from $10,000 per month. A value-linked option ties part of a build fee to the value we prove.
What happens in a Decision System Diagnostic?
We review one operational decision end to end: we audit the objective, constraints, and business rules, replay past decisions against what actually happened, and deliver a ranked roadmap of fixes, each with an estimated value.
How do you prove the value before we commit?
We replay a proposed policy against your own history and compare it with the decisions actually made, so the expected value is measured before anything goes into production.
Which industries do you work with?
Our work spans online retail, automotive manufacturing, mobility and transportation, logistics, and defense logistics. We organize around the decision rather than the industry, so the methods transfer.
Do you replace our planners or our planning software?
No. We build the decision system with your team and hand it over. Planners keep a defined role, with their judgment captured rather than lost.
