Four ways we automate work, priced from a floor.

Specification / engagements Floors, not quotes
Practice
AI integration and unattended operations
Typical engagement
Four weeks to handover, fixed scope
Entry point
A paid review at $600, credited against a build
Runs on
Your accounts, your keys, your existing stack
Always included
Documentation, reach list, measured running cost, off switch
Never included
A model we resell you at a markup

Every listing below names what it includes and when you should pick something else. A firm that says yes to everything is describing its sales process rather than its capability.


What moves the number

Three things, and none of them is us

How many systems are involved

Two systems that both have a real API is a different job from five, one of which is a portal with no API and a session timeout.

How much of the process is written down

If it exists as a document, we start building. If it exists in one person, we write it down first and that takes a week.

Whether it touches money or customers directly

Anything that can send a customer an email or move a payment gets a heavier review and a stricter escalation path. That is deliberate and it costs more.


Figure 01 / the four

Each shape of work, in full

Workflow automation

from $2,400

The repetitive path between your systems

The tasks that were never designed and never assigned. Somebody absorbed them, and they now shape the first hour of the day.

  • Intake and record creation across systems that do not talk to each other
  • Quote and proposal generation from your own templates
  • Scheduled reporting delivered where people already look
  • Keeping two systems in agreement without a person retyping
  • Documentation a competent person on your team can change later

Pick something else if the process changes every week and nobody can say what the current version is. Start with the review.

Autonomous assistants

from $6,000

An assistant with a defined job and a defined reach

The word autonomous does a lot of quiet work in this industry. Here it means the limits were decided in advance and written down, so the thing runs unsupervised for a reason rather than out of optimism.

  • Scoped tools and permissions, each listed by name in the handover record
  • An escalation path to a named person when confidence is low
  • Logged actions you can audit after the fact
  • A documented off switch and a fallback the business can run on
  • Cost ceilings, so an unattended loop cannot quietly spend your month

Pick something else if the task needs judgement you would not delegate to a competent new hire. Automate the paperwork around it instead.

Retrieval and memory

from $4,500

Your documents and history made answerable

Most of what your team needs is already written down somewhere nobody can find. The hard part is not search, it is making an answer checkable.

  • Ingestion of the documents and records you already keep
  • A source citation on every response, so a person can verify the claim
  • Access rules per team, so the wrong file stays out of the wrong answer
  • A refusal path, so an unanswerable question is said out loud rather than guessed at

Pick something else if your documents contradict each other. Retrieval will surface the contradiction faithfully and you will not enjoy it.

Ongoing operations

from $1,600 / month

We keep what we built accurate

Automation degrades quietly. A vendor changes a format, your process shifts, and a system that was right in March is wrong by August with nobody noticing until a customer does.

  • Monitoring, with alerts routed to a person rather than a dashboard nobody opens
  • A monthly written review of what ran, what failed and what it cost
  • Changes as your process changes, within an agreed allowance
  • A standing answer to the question of who is responsible when it breaks

Pick something else if you have an engineer in house who wants to own it. We hand over cleanly and stay available by the hour.

The review

$600

A written map of where the time goes

Two working sessions with the people doing the work, then a document naming each candidate task, the rough hours it consumes, and whether automating it is worth doing at all. Credited in full against a build. Yours to keep if you walk away, including when the honest conclusion is that you should not spend money here yet.
