How it works
Five stages, five working days
Autopsify is a finite diagnostic, not a dashboard you check. It reads your Shopify orders and products, reconstructs what your store actually keeps, and reports where profit and growth are being lost — with the evidence behind every figure and the limits stated. £497 for one diagnostic cycle: the baseline Blueprint, your action window and the Impact Review.
Read-only Shopify access · About twenty minutes of your time · Readiness checked before payment

Read-only Shopify access, orders and products only
About five minutes, through Shopify's standard authorisation. No write scopes are requested, so nothing in your store can be changed, and we never ask for customer names, addresses, phone numbers or email addresses.

Reconstruct
Your economics rebuilt on a tax-correct basis
Gross sales, tax, net sales, refunds, cost of goods, advertising. Cost per item is the one input only you can supply — entered in the workspace or imported as a CSV, and roughly twenty minutes of your time.

Test
Each area interrogated against your own prior period
Your report period is compared with the equal-length period before it. Movements are graded rather than merely listed, and areas that come back healthy are reported as checked and cleared rather than quietly dropped.

Quantify
A defensible money range, or an explicit refusal
Every figure carries the arithmetic behind it and the assumption it rests on. Where a cost, a tax amount or a refund figure is missing, the figure that depends on it is withheld and the gap is named — never estimated, and never shown as zero.

Review
A 45-minute call with the person who read it
Automated checks run first, then a person reads the whole report before it reaches you. You receive the written diagnostic in PDF and web form, from the same underlying data.
We check that your data can support the analysis before you pay. If it cannot, we say so and we do not charge you. An advertising connection is optional — without it, acquisition analysis is marked unavailable rather than estimated.
After the reading
The diagnosis is the start of the cycle, not the end of it
You act, in your own store
The Fix First page carries at most five actions, each with an owner, an effort level and the metric to watch. Autopsify implements nothing: pricing, stock, supplier terms and the storefront stay yours.
An action window you agree
Long enough for a change to show in real orders. A fortnight on a low-volume store measures noise, so the length is agreed with you rather than fixed.
An Impact Review, included
The same store re-read on the same rules, against the baseline the first reading recorded. It reports what changed, what did not, and what is now top of the list — including that nothing moved, or that you acted on nothing. It closes the cycle you bought; a further cycle later is a new diagnostic.
Nothing runs between readings. There is no continuous monitoring, no automated testing, and no action taken in your store on your behalf — and no subscription to cancel.
How we're different
A cycle, not a one-off report
One cycle is a diagnostic you buy, act on, and then prove — the Impact Review is inside it, not a further purchase. Nothing runs in between: you decide what to change, and the second reading shows whether it worked. A further cycle later is a new diagnostic.
