About
I'm Darryl Mattocks. I've spent the last thirty years building service businesses — most recently Enistic, an energy and carbon management consultancy that works with companies across the UK. The kind of business Draftr is built for.
Service businesses don't usually fail because the work is bad. They struggle because the work between people — chasing invoices, coordinating hires, keeping the day-to-day from eating the founder's week — falls through the gaps. An invoice that didn't go out. A candidate who went silent. A briefing that nobody prepared.
I built Draftr because I kept watching it happen — in my own business, in the businesses of founders I know. The work was good. The gaps were avoidable. Now there are three products that close them.

What Draftr is
Every service business has the same three expensive problems: revenue that leaks between delivery and payment, hiring that stalls because nobody owns the process end to end, and day-to-day operations that eat the founder's week. Draftr builds one product for each. Start with whichever hurts most. Add the others when you're ready.
The products
Revenue recovery. Watches your invoices, flags the ones going stale, drafts the follow-ups, and makes sure someone on your team owns every open item. Built for the cash that should already be in your account.
Hiring coordination. Keeps candidates moving, interviewers briefed, and the process visible from opening a role to making an offer. Built for businesses where hiring is everyone's second job.
Day-to-day operations. Morning briefings, office coordination, people ops, and the small tasks that quietly consume hours. Built for the drag you stop noticing because it never gets bad enough to fix.
What we believe
Adding another dashboard to a fragmented team makes things worse, not better. Draftr works because it sits across the systems you already use and provides the one thing they don't: clear ownership of what happens next.
Most software tries to do everything and ends up doing nothing well. Each Draftr product solves one expensive problem properly. You don't pay for modules you don't use, and each one works on its own.
Draftr drafts emails, suggests next actions, surfaces overdue items. It doesn't send anything customer-facing without a person on your team approving it. We've made this an architectural choice, not a setting.
Where we are now
Draftr is pre-revenue. We're working with thirty founding customers — agencies, consultancies, and professional service firms — who are shaping the product against real business problems. If you'd like to be one of them, the free audit is the fastest way to see where we'd start.
