How much does it cost to build an AI system?

Every engagement is scoped based on complexity and what you actually need. I start with a free 30-minute call to understand your workflow, then provide a fixed-price quote. No retainers, no surprises.

How long does it take to build?

Most systems are delivered in 4–8 weeks from kickoff. Simple automations can be done in 2 weeks. Complex multi-system builds take longer — I'll tell you exactly what to expect upfront.

Do I need a technical team to work with you?

No. I handle everything end-to-end — strategy, build, and deployment. Your team just needs to be available for workflow walkthroughs so I understand what I'm replacing.

What happens after you build the system?

I document everything and walk your team through it. I also offer a support period after delivery so any edge cases that come up get resolved. You own the system completely — no lock-in.

Yes. All systems are built with your data staying in your infrastructure. I don't store or have access to your business data after the project is complete. Everything is deployed to your own accounts.

Here's what's actually happening inside your business

You already have the data. You just don't have systems that use it.

Time is disappearing into manual tasks

Your best people spend hours on data entry, report generation, and process coordination that a system could handle in seconds.

Est. 15–20 hrs/week per person on avoidable work

Your tools don't talk to each other

Data lives in five different places. No one has the full picture. Decisions get made on gut feeling because pulling the real data takes too long.

Est. 3–5 decisions per week made without complete data

You're scaling headcount instead of systems

Every time the business grows, you hire someone to manage the complexity instead of building systems that give you visibility and control.

Est. $60–90K per hire that could be replaced by a system

What We Do

We use your data to fix your operations

Each capability targets a specific type of operational drag. Most businesses need two or three.

Operations Mapping

We map your data across your tools, spreadsheets, and internal systems to show where it lives, how it flows, and where breakdowns exist.

This is built for you if...

Good fit

You run a business with real operational complexity — any industry, any size
Your team spends hours on manual data entry, reporting, or process coordination every week
Your data lives in multiple systems that don't talk to each other
You know there are inefficiencies but can't see them clearly enough to fix them
You want real improvements — not a slide deck

Probably not the right fit if...

You're looking for off-the-shelf software that works out of the box
You don't have existing systems or data to work with yet
You're not willing to invest 2–3 hours walking through your operations

This list exists because we only take engagements where we can genuinely help. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you on the first call.
