What we automate
Automation is the right pattern when work is repetitive, rules-based, and multi-system. Classic examples: lead routing, invoice status sync, onboarding checklists, weekly report assembly, notification storms that should be one digest, and “copy this field from tool A to tool B.”
When work requires open-ended research, writing with taste, or multi-step judgment, an AI agent may be a better fit — or a hybrid. We help you choose deliberately. Start with this decision guide.
How we think about ROI
Before building, we estimate hours burned, error cost, and delay cost. A good pilot has a payback story you can explain without a deck full of vanity metrics. If the math is weak, we say so — fixed scope means we don't sell busywork.
How engagements run
- Map — workflow reality, tools, failure points, and dollarized friction.
- Pilot — one pipeline live, fixed price and timeline, measured against the manual baseline.
- Run — monitoring, alerts, and iterative improvement so the automation stays trustworthy.

What you get
Mapped workflow
The real steps, tools, failure points, and dollarized friction — before anyone writes glue code.
Live pipeline
One high-ROI automation running end-to-end, with logs and a clear owner when something breaks.
Baseline comparison
Before/after on hours, error, or cycle time so the pilot has a receipt — not a vibe.

Fit / not a fit
Good fit
- Repetitive multi-tool work that burns hours every week
- Clear inputs and outputs (you can describe “done”)
- Willingness to change the process slightly for reliability
- Someone who owns the ops pain day to day
Not a fit
- One-off creative work that never repeats the same way
- Fully open-ended research better served by an agent
- No access to systems or data needed to automate
- Expectation of “set and forget forever” with zero ownership
Pricing signal
- Map / audit — $1.5k–$4k fixed (or start with the free checklist).
- Pilot pipeline — typically $6k–$22k for a single high-ROI workflow (lower end when integrations are simple).
- Run — $1.5k–$6k / month for monitoring and iteration after proof.
Complex ERP / multi-entity setups quote separately. Full ranges: Services pricing.
FAQ
What kinds of work should be automated?
Tasks that follow the same steps every time, have clear inputs and outputs, and currently burn hours without requiring deep judgment — data entry, routing, status updates, report assembly, handoffs between tools.
Will automation replace my team?
Well-designed automation removes drudgery so people can do higher-value work. We design for hours returned, not headcount theater.
What tools do you work with?
We meet you where you already work — CRMs, email, spreadsheets, project tools, databases, and integration platforms. Stack is chosen for reliability and maintainability, not hype.
How do we start?
An automation audit (see our free checklist), then a fixed-scope pilot on the highest-ROI workflow.
