Consulting engagement

AI automation & workflow design — built for small business reality.

Fixed-scope consulting that audits your busywork, designs the automations that actually pay off, and hands you the working flows plus the documentation to keep them running. No sprawling retainers, no AI-hype theater — practical wins your team uses every week.

The problem we solve

You're doing the same five things every week. They shouldn't take five hours.

Copy-paste between tools

The lead form goes to your inbox, you re-type it into the CRM, you tag it in Trello, you DM the team. Same fifteen minutes, every time.

The reports that take half a day

Pulling data from QuickBooks, Stripe, your scheduling tool — into a spreadsheet — into a slide. Monthly. By hand.

AI tools you're not sure how to use

You bought a ChatGPT subscription and a Copilot license. They're sitting there. Nobody's quite sure what to do with them.

What we actually build

Real automations small businesses ask us for.

Vendor-neutral. We pick the simplest tool that fits — not the most exciting one.

Lead-to-CRM automation

Website form, email, or LinkedIn message routes itself into your CRM, tagged, assigned, with a follow-up task created — instantly.

≈ 3–5 hrs / week saved

Document drafting with AI

Proposals, contracts, follow-up emails, meeting recaps — drafted by AI from your existing templates and prior examples. Reviewed by you, sent in minutes.

≈ 40% drafting time cut

Auto-generated reports

Weekly/monthly business reports pulled from QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Analytics, your booking tool — assembled, formatted, and emailed to you. No more spreadsheet day.

≈ 4 hrs / month → 0

Smart inbox triage

AI sorts and labels inbound email, drafts replies to common questions, escalates the urgent stuff, and quietly archives the noise.

≈ 1 hr / day reclaimed

Onboarding & offboarding flows

New employee or new client? One trigger sets up the accounts, sends the welcome packet, schedules the kickoff, and creates the onboarding checklist.

≈ 90 min → 5 min per event

AI knowledge base for your team

Your SOPs, vendor contracts, and past project notes — searchable by AI so your team gets the answer instead of asking you.

Fewer "quick questions"
Our process

How an engagement actually runs.

Fixed scope. Fixed price. Clear deliverables. No "we'll see where it goes" billing.

1

Discovery call (free, 30 min)

You walk us through where time goes each week. We ask a lot of questions. We tell you straight up which engagement (if any) we'd recommend — or whether you don't need us yet.

2

Workflow audit

We shadow how 3–7 of your most painful workflows actually run today. Map every step. Identify the 2–3 with the highest payoff if automated.

3

Design & recommendation

Written proposal: the workflows we'd automate, the tools we'd use, the cost (yours + ours), and the expected time savings. You decide what to greenlight.

4

Build, configure, test

We build the automations in your tools, under your accounts. You watch us work (Loom recordings, live screen-shares) so nothing is a black box.

5

Training & documentation

Your team learns how the automations work, how to tweak them, how to fix them. Plain-English runbooks left behind. You own everything.

6

30-day stabilization

After handoff, we stay on call for 30 days to tune anything that drifts. After that, your coaching membership (or a follow-up engagement) handles ongoing changes.

Engagement options

Three ways to start. Pick the one that fits.

All engagements are fixed scope and fixed price. No surprise hourly billing.

Already a coaching member? 10% off any engagement. Need something custom? Tell us what you're trying to fix.

Tools we work with

Vendor-neutral. We use what fits, not what's trendy.

We'll always tell you the simplest, most affordable option that does the job. You buy direct — we never resell licenses or collect referral fees.

Quick answers

Common questions.

Do I have to use ChatGPT/OpenAI specifically?
No. We're tool-agnostic. If you already have Microsoft Copilot through your M365 subscription, we'll lean on that. If your data is sensitive enough to warrant a private model, we'll route around the public providers. The right answer depends on your data and your budget.
Will my data train someone else's AI?
Not in any configuration we build. We use business-tier API access or self-hosted options that contractually exclude your data from training. We document exactly where your data flows so there are no surprises.
What if I need ongoing changes after the project?
Three options: (1) join our coaching membership for monthly Q&A access, (2) book a follow-up tune-up engagement, or (3) we train someone on your team to maintain the automations themselves. We don't lock you in.
Who owns the automations after the project?
You do — entirely. Everything is built in your accounts, with your credentials, and the runbooks are yours to keep. If you stop working with us, the automations keep running.
How is this different from your coaching membership?
Coaching is monthly group education — we teach, you build. AI/Automation engagements are project work — we build, you watch and learn, then own it. Many clients do both: hire us for a one-time project, then stay on coaching for ongoing questions.
What businesses is this NOT a fit for?
Businesses with no repeatable processes yet (you can't automate chaos — fix the process first). Companies wanting a fully autonomous "AI agent" running parts of the business with no human in the loop — we don't believe in that yet. And businesses looking for the cheapest possible price: we're not it.
