Who This Is For

Built for small businesses that suspect there's a better way.

You're doing the same tasks over and over by hand and you're pretty sure a computer should be handling them.

You've heard about AI everywhere and wonder if there's something in it for a business your size — but nobody's explained it in a way that actually applies to you.

You're juggling spreadsheets, apps, email threads, and sticky notes and things slip through the cracks.

You're thinking about hiring for an operational role and want to know if the right tool could do most of the job first.

Not for you if…
  1. You already know exactly what you want built. In that case, our Custom Apps or Website Subscription pages are more direct — skip the audit.
  2. You're an enterprise looking for enterprise consulting. We work with small businesses — usually 1 to 40 people.
How It Works

From intro call to real engagement.

Step 1
Free 20-min intro call
No pressure, no obligation. We talk through your business honestly.
Step 2
$500 Discovery / Audit
Tagged roadmap of 2–4 opportunities.
Step 3
Routed engagement
→ Custom App → Subscription → Hourly (rare)
Or the intro call ends in a free Tier 3 answer on the spot — or a direct "not a fit," with a direction if we can offer one. No paid engagement required.
What You Get

Three stages of engagement.

1
Discovery / Audit
$500 flat

Start here. Where the engagement begins.

A formal audit produces a tagged roadmap of 2–4 opportunities — each with its route (Custom App / Subscription / Hourly), price shape, and priority.

2
Implementation
Routes to product OR $150/hr

The audit routes each opportunity to the shape that fits.

  • Custom App (flat estimate) — for opportunities that fit a productized build
  • Website Subscription (recurring monthly) — for opportunities that fit a subscription tier
  • Hourly ($150/hr) — only if genuinely bespoke and doesn't fit a product
3
Ongoing Advisory
Free quick-take / $150/hr research

For after — a way to keep asking us without a retainer.

  • Small "do you think" questions — free. Reply-and-go, no clock started.
  • Anything requiring research — $150/hr with a 30-min minimum.
  • Past ~5 hours of ongoing work with a client, we recommend an audit to structure it properly.
Sample Audit

What the $500 audit looks like.

A tagged roadmap of 2–4 opportunities. Each opportunity comes with its route (Custom App, Subscription, or Hourly), a price shape, and a priority — so you know exactly what a "yes" would cost before you commit to anything.

Sample Discovery/Audit — Rivera Landscaping (illustrative, not a real client)
Opportunities identified
Client intake + follow-up automation
HIGH

New-lead responses fall through the cracks; follow-ups happen inconsistently.

→ CUSTOM APP ~$4,800 flat build
Seasonal quote-request landing page
MED

Peak-season inbound has no clean capture path; missed quotes.

→ SUBSCRIPTION Tier 2 $89/mo
Route-planning worksheet (one-off)
LOW

Weekly job routes done by hand in a shared doc.

→ HOURLY ~12 hrs × $150 = ~$1,800

This is what the $500 audit produces. Yours to act on with us, or on your own.

Common Questions

Straight answers, no hedging.

Does the free intro call credit toward the $500 audit?
No. The call is free and standalone. It's the generosity; the audit is the paid engagement. If we recommend the audit on the call, the price is $500 flat, no adjustment.
Won't you just recommend I hire you for more work?
Every opportunity in the audit is tagged with a route: Custom App, Subscription, or Hourly. Hourly is the exception, not the default. If an opportunity fits a product, that's what we recommend — you can act on the roadmap with us or take it and go elsewhere.
What if the audit finds nothing worth doing?
You still get a documented write-up. That's the honest-broker posture — $500 buys you certainty, not a sales pitch.
What happens after the audit?
Three paths. (a) An opportunity routes to a product (Custom App or Subscription) — we scope and book that separately. (b) An opportunity is genuinely bespoke — we do hourly implementation at $150/hr. (c) You take the roadmap and use it independently. No lock-in.
What's the difference between the free intro call and the paid audit?
The intro call is 20 minutes of "here's what I'd loosely say about your situation." The audit is a formal engagement — real research, real deliverable, real recommendations. Call = signals; audit = plan.
Do you offer retainers?
Not right now. Tier 3 Advisory is pay-per-inquiry — free for quick "do you think" questions, $150/hr with a 30-min minimum for anything requiring research. Past ~5 hours of ongoing work, we recommend an audit to structure it properly.
