How we work

Audit, blueprint, build, run.

Every engagement follows the same four-step blueprint. The audit is where we figure out what to build and what it costs — and the fee comes off the setup if you proceed.

The blueprint

Four stages, one direction.

The blueprint is fixed. The thing we build for you is bespoke — the blueprint is how we get there reliably every time.

Audit

We map your business and find what to build.

3–5 interviews, process audit on your most painful workflow, written 10–15 page report with prioritised opportunities and a scoped quote.

Output

Audit report + scoped quote

4–12 weeks

Build

We install the layer, one piece at a time.

Each piece shipped, tested on your data, handed over with documentation. You see value from week two — not month six.

Output

Live systems running for you

Ongoing

Run

We operate, monitor, and extend the layer.

Monthly check-in, async support through the month, monthly performance report, new automations as the business changes.

Output

A layer that keeps growing with you

How we work

Start with an audit.
Build from what we find.

Every engagement starts with the paid audit. From there, you pick the tier that fits what we found. Pricing is a range because every business is different — you get a fixed quote at the end of the audit.

The Audit

Two-week deep dive to scope what to build

  • 3-5 deep-dive interviews with you and key team
  • Workflow audit on your most painful process
  • Written report (10-15 pages) with prioritised opportunities
  • Scoped quote: setup fee, monthly retainer, tool costs
  • Custom Claude Assistant Starter Pack — runs alongside your audit
Book a discovery call →

100% deductible from setup if you proceed to a tier.

FAQ

Questions operators actually ask.

Every answer has a number in it. We don't do vague.

Start with the audit

Twenty minutes on the call, then we'll know.

We use the discovery call to figure out if the audit is the right next step for you. If it isn't, we'll tell you and point you at what is.
