Automation Audit
Fixed scope · written outputWe sit with the people doing the work, map the workflows, and rank what an agent could take over — by leverage, by risk, and by what your data can support today.
An audit is one to two weeks inside your operation. We shadow the inbox, the dispatch board, the quoting spreadsheet — whatever actually runs the business — and write down what happens today, who touches it, and where it breaks. Each workflow is scored on leverage, risk and readiness, and the result is a roadmap in plain language: what to automate, in what order, and what it depends on.
OutputA written roadmap: what to automate, in what order, and what it depends on. Yours either way.

Build Sprint
Fixed scope · one workflow liveOne workflow, end to end, in production. Not a sandbox — the actual agent doing one real job with real data, early enough to change course cheaply. Then shipped increments, weekly, in readable PRs.
A sprint takes the top item on the roadmap and ships it. Foundation first — repo, auth, data, deploy pipeline, wired for production from the first commit — then a vertical slice: the real agent doing one real job with real data, with handoff rules you set. From there it compounds in weekly, readable increments you can watch land in the repo, not in a status meeting.
OutputOne real workflow running in production, in your repo.

Run
Retainer or fractionalWe stay on to run, extend and harden what shipped, or as a fractional AI lead in your leadership loop. Month to month. Everything keeps running if we leave.
Some clients keep us on to run, extend and harden what shipped: the next workflows off the roadmap, monitoring, the unglamorous upkeep. Others want a fractional AI lead in the leadership loop — a builder who owns the plan part-time and trains the team on the systems they now own. Both are month to month, and everything keeps running if we leave.
OutputSystems that keep improving, and a team that can run them.
Scope first, then a number. The audit is fixed-scope. The sprint is priced from the roadmap it produced. No day rates, and no retainer required.
