First
Measure the hours
We map the manual or fragile workflow and put a loaded hourly rate on the time it eats each month.
Automation that earns its keep
Automations that pay for themselves in saved hours — scoped before they're built.
Implementation sprints bundle the audit's top three fixes plus one workflow build. Standalone builds are priced on outcome: hours saved × loaded rate, not tokens.
How automation is scoped
Then
Build only what pays back
The build is justified against that number. If it doesn't clear the bar, I say so before writing a node.
Tools
Chosen per your stack
n8n, Make, Zapier, or GitHub Actions — picked for what you already run, not what earns a referral.
Honesty
Delete, don't just add
If a feature shouldn't exist, I'll say so. Some clients' best ROI was removing an AI feature, not adding one.
Honest framing
Not every process needs an agent
Automation is a means, not the identity. The work starts from the audit's findings, so the build solves a measured problem instead of manufacturing one.
Working price
Sprints from $9,000
Implementation sprint $9,000–$15,000; standalone builds quoted on outcome. (Working launch copy — confirm scope and rate before public promotion.)
