I’d hope they all do. If you get an experienced developer they should want to automate all of this. My former boss took the model of improving processes and revenue, then taking a cut of the difference ongoing. He had financial freedom already, so this was the best use of his time. With some companies you aren’t given all of the information to make the right decision for efficiencies sake, or they write such a rigid spec there’s no room for improvement. Personally I love spending the time where I can see it saving so much time for the end. You might not need an agency, you might just need a developer to help write what you want to create and work a spec that you can give to an uncreative team/agency to create. Agencies make a decent amount on the discovery phase, so you’d be cutting that out. At that point you could go directly to someone that could implement it.
