The step up from managed · Studio model

We build the system that fits your shop.

Most shops start on the managed setup, and plenty stay there. When you want the system on hardware you own, or something else is eating your week (sourcing, follow-ups, reporting, an internal tool nobody wants to build), we scope a custom AI chatbot or agent for your small business. Every flow is different, and the build is shaped around yours. Most builds go live in about 30 days, since there is hardware, software, integrations, and compliance setup to do. You own the rig.

Fifteen minutes on your calendar. No deck.

§ 01How a custom engagement works.

PHASE 01

SCOPE

60-minute call. We watch the workflow you want to fix, end to end. Same as the sprint kickoff, concrete, no deck.

◆ free · 60 min
PHASE 02

PROPOSAL

Scoped proposal in your inbox within 5 days. What we'll build, what it costs, when it goes live. Sign or don't.

◆ 5 business days
PHASE 03

BUILD

About 30 days to live for most builds: hardware, software, integrations, and compliance setup. Weekly demos, every Friday. You see the rig as it gets built, not at the end.

◆ about 30 days
PHASE 04

HANDOFF

You own the source, the prompts, the docs. We optionally stay on a small monthly to tune as your business changes.

◆ you decide

§ 02What custom looks like.

4 starting points · not a menu

Every shop is different. These are starting points, not a menu. The first call is where we figure out which one of these, or which combination, actually fits your week.

EX. A

Inventory sourcing agent

Watches auctions, distributors, supplier feeds. Surfaces matches against your buy criteria, flags margin, drafts the bid. The operator hits send. Used most by dealers and parts shops who source on volume.

For: Used car dealers · parts · e-com
EX. B

Customer follow-up automation

Pings every customer at the right interval. 30-day service check, post-job review ask, the quote that went cold. Original copy keyed to what you actually did for them, not a template.

For: Service shops · contractors · clinics · retail
EX. C

Internal reporting

Weekly summary across whatever tools you actually use: inquiries, jobs, AR, no-shows. In your inbox by 7am Monday, with the three things you should look at first highlighted.

For: Owner-operators with no ops manager
EX. D

The thing that's eating your time

Bring the bottleneck. If we can build a system that pays for itself in six months, we'll quote it. If we can't, we'll tell you and point you at whatever does.

For: You name it

§ 03Honest pricing.

CUSTOM ENGAGEMENT

Scoped to the work. Quoted before we start.

We send a scoped proposal, price included, before we start. No hourly. No "we'll see how it goes." If we estimate wrong, we eat it. If you change scope, we requote. The number on the proposal is the number on the invoice.

ABOUT 30 DAYS TO LIVE
YOU OWN THE RIG

§ 04One builder. Same one writing the code.

A NOTE

We don't sell dashboards. We build the system, then hand you the keys.

That's the whole pitch. The same person on the call is the one in the code. No project manager, no junior associate, no offshore handoff. If that's not how you want to buy this, that's a fair tell, we're probably not the shop.

WHAT WE WON'T DO

Three things we say no to, every week.

Hourly billing. Quoted before we start, or nothing.
Mandatory retainers. The managed plan is optional, never required, and only if you actually want ongoing work.
Handing you a login and leaving. If a plan you run yourself already does the job, we'll point you at it. If you'd rather it ran for you, that's the managed setup.

If that loses us your business, fair.
