Four ways to work with me
A department is the unit you buy: one delivery, and nothing to keep paying afterwards. Fixed price, in writing, by email before any call. The full ladder is on the packages page
Consult
A map of your process and where the approval gates belong. No build, no card, and no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
One Department
One working department: up to 4 agents, its own team lead who reviews their output, and approval gates on all three triggers.
Three Departments
Three working departments: up to 12 agents, a team lead reviewing each department, and approval gates on all three triggers.
Full Organization
Up to five departments with their own team leads, approval gates on all three triggers, a final adversary and handover training.
What the consult actually hands you
The consult is free, and it is the hardest part of the offer to picture, so here it is: a worked specimen of its three parts, for a plumbing company that answers its own phone. Yours would name your steps, your reviewers and your limits.
The process map
Your work written out step by step, with who owns each one. The label under each step is the whole point: it says what happens without you, and what doesn't.
The gate register
Every point where the work stops and waits for you, with the limit stated outright rather than left to a feeling. It's the part most likely to change in review, and changing it is free.
| What triggers it | What stops | Limit | Who releases it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spends money | Any quote or purchase before it leaves | Any amount | You |
| Reaches a customer | Messages, quotes, replies to reviews | All | You |
| Cannot be undone | Cancellations, deletions, access changes | All | You |
| Inside the boundary | Nothing. Drafting, sorting, scheduling finish on their own | None | No one |
The department sheet
What would be built, in what order, and what each part owns. It's also the quote: the department count decides the price, and the price comes to you in writing by email.
And the four artifacts a build hands over
The consult hands over the first of these, the map.
A map of your process
Who does what, in what order, and where the work gets checked.
Setup files
Configured for Claude Code or ChatGPT. Not another subscription to buy.
A failure plan
What happens when something breaks, and who picks it back up.
A plain-language guide
Written for the person who runs it, not for a developer.
Specimen content. It describes no real client. I build the real one from your intake answers.
One AI answers. An organization checks itself first.
Most AI rollouts fail on structure, not on the model. Nobody owns the output. Nothing gets reviewed before it leaves. Nothing gates the actions you cannot undo.
Intake
You describe the work that repeats. I ask what must never go out without your approval.
Design
Departments, roles, handoffs and review points, mapped before anything is built.
Build
Agents, team leads and gates, configured on the tools you already use.
Handover
A plain-language guide so your team can run it, change it and keep it going without me.
Structure is the product
A single assistant gives you a confident answer and leaves you to check it. That check is the work you were trying to get rid of.
I run one of these myself, with departments, review gates and approval gates, before anything leaves the building. The design is what I sell, and it is what I use.
What the intake builds, depending on your answers
I never ask what agents you need: you couldn't know, and it isn't your job. I ask what repeats, what goes wrong, and what must never leave without your yes. The organization comes out of those answers.
It suits owners buried in work that comes back every week, founders who need more output without adding headcount, and operators whose business has outgrown what one person can hold in their head. Six examples of what that looks like.
Professional services, audit, consulting
Dental and medical practices
Home services: HVAC, plumbing, electrical
Law and accounting
Manufacturing and distribution
E-commerce and online retail
Not on this list? The intake doesn't ask your industry. It asks what your week looks like. Tell me that
Build it yourself, buy a tool, or have an organization run it
You are choosing between three things whether or not anyone lays them out. Here they are laid out.
| Option oneBuild it yourself | Option twoBuy an AI tool | Option threeAn organization | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who builds it? | You do, in evenings, around the job you already have. | The vendor built it for everyone. Not for your process. | I do, around the answers you gave in the intake. |
| Who checks the output? | You do. Every time. | You do. That is the work you were trying to remove. | A team lead inside the department, before it reaches you. |
| What stops a costly mistake? | Whatever you remembered to build. | Usually nothing, or a setting you have to find. | A gate on all three triggers: spend, customer, irreversible. |
| Who fixes it when an API changes? | You do. | You wait for the vendor, and keep paying while you wait. | You have the files and the guide. 14 days of free fixes to what we agreed, then fixes are quoted. |
| What do you own at the end? | Everything, and the maintenance. | A subscription. Stop paying and it stops. | The files, on your own accounts. I host nothing. |
| What does it cost to find out? | Weeks of your time. | A subscription before it has proven anything. | Free. Thirty minutes and a blueprint you keep. |
Five things I put in writing before you pay anything
I have no logos to show you and no reviews to point at. What I can do is be specific about what I am bound to.
Nothing leaves without your yes
Anything that spends money, reaches a customer, or cannot be undone stops at a gate and waits. You set those boundaries at intake, before I build.
You own the files, I host nothing
Setup files live on your own Claude Code or ChatGPT account. If you stop working with me, nothing switches off and nothing needs exporting.
Fixed price means fixed scope, told up front
Every build has a stated cap in departments and agents. If the intake shows the work exceeds what you bought, I tell you before I start, not halfway through.
There is nothing to keep paying
No retainer, no subscription, no license. One price, one delivery. For 14 days after handover I fix, at no charge, anything that does not work the way we agreed. After that, a fix or a change is quoted like new work, and there is still nothing to pay monthly.
Every gate decision is recorded
Who approved it, when, and the note they left. If you ever have to show how a decision was made, the record is already there.
The approval gates are designed against the human-oversight and audit-trail controls described in ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems. I am not certified to it, and I do not claim your organization would be. I built to its control areas because they are the right shape for work that has to be answered for.
Tell me the process that's eating your week.
I'll map it out before you commit to anything.
