Process

The path from a diagnostic to a system you don’t think about.

Most clients don’t start with a six-figure automation project. They start with a question — and the path from there is deliberately gradual.

1

Audit

A scoped diagnostic — low commitment, high clarity.

  • We map one process end-to-end — the tools, the handoffs, the manual steps.
  • You get a prioritized list of what's worth automating and what isn't.
  • One costed quick-win is included, so the audit pays for itself immediately.
2

Quick Win

One small automation that proves the model works.

  • A small, contained automation — usually the one flagged in the audit.
  • Ships in days, not weeks, so trust is built before a larger invoice.
3

Automation / AI System

The core build: an agent or automation live in production.

  • The core build: an agent, a workflow, or an integration live in production.
  • Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed up front — no open-ended hours.
4

Software

Internal tools where no off-the-shelf system fits.

  • Where a workflow has outgrown any off-the-shelf tool, we build the internal software to hold it.
  • Only ever proposed once an automation or agent is already live and proven.
5

Monthly Support

Monitoring and fixing what breaks when an API changes.

  • Automations break quietly when a third-party API changes — this is where we catch it before your customer does.
  • A monthly retainer, not a support ticket queue.
6

Product

The workflow we've now built three times becomes a product.

  • When we've built a similar internal tool for a third client in the same niche, we productize it.
  • This is the actual path from agency to product company — not a speculative platform built in advance.
