Five ways to engage. One rule: outcomes over hours.
Every engagement starts small, proves value fast, and earns the next step. You'll never be asked to sign a six-figure build on faith.
The engagement ladder
Start with diagnosis. Scale with evidence.
Nobody starts at the top of this ladder. Every client begins with a $1,500–$5,000 Sprint, and everything above it is delivered in phases you approve one at a time — the ranges below describe where engagements can grow when the returns justify it, never what you commit to up front.
Systems Opportunity Sprint
Fixed fee · $1,500–$5,000 · ~2 weeksWorkflow mapping, bottleneck analysis, systems audit, and a build-vs-buy-vs-integrate recommendation with architecture, ROI hypothesis and a phased roadmap. Optionally includes one tightly bounded quick win. You own every deliverable.
Rapid Operations Build
Indicative $5,000–$20,000 · phasedOne defined operational problem, solved. A customer portal, a live dashboard, a quoting workflow, an integration between two systems that refuse to talk, a scheduling module, a reporting layer. Weeks, not quarters.
Business Systems
Indicative $20,000–$75,000+ · phasedConnected workflows across your operation: integrations, internal applications, portals, reporting and automation working as one system. This is where duplicate entry dies and your team stops being human middleware.
Custom Platforms
Indicative $50,000–$250,000+ · phasedSaaS products, marketplaces, multi-tenant systems, commerce infrastructure, and substantial operational applications. Engineered for the load you'll have in three years, not the load you had last quarter.
Technology Partnership
Indicative $2,000–$15,000+ / monthOngoing ownership: monitoring, support, iteration and a standing engineering capability that knows your systems. For companies that want a technology department without building one.
- You only ever commit to the next phase. A $75,000 system is bought as a sequence of smaller phases, each approved after you've seen the previous one working.
- Every phase carries its own ROI case. Before you spend, the proposal shows what the phase returns — in hours, errors, or revenue. If the math doesn't work, we don't propose it.
- The exit is always open. You own everything we deliver at every stage, so stopping after any phase leaves you with working systems, not sunk cost.
Ranges are indicative — every proposal is priced against the future operating model it delivers, with scope, phases and success measures in writing. The low-cost entry point is expert diagnosis, not cheap development.
Quick wins
Start with one fix that pays for itself in weeks.
Not ready for a full system? Pick a single bottleneck. Every quick win is fixed-scope, delivered in days to two weeks, and engineered on proper foundations — so it becomes the first module of a bigger system later, not duct tape you'll rip out.
Two systems, finally talking
One real integration — CRM ↔ accounting, orders ↔ inventory, field app ↔ QuickBooks. The re-keying between them stops for good.
The morning dashboard
One live dashboard pulling from the tools you already use — open orders, cash position, jobs at risk — instead of a spreadsheet someone updates on Fridays.
Same-day invoice flow
Job or order completed → invoice with a payment link goes out automatically, synced to your books. Late invoices take months to collect; this ends them.
Status updates on autopilot
Customers get told where their order, job or project stands — automatically. The "just checking in" calls stop landing on your team.
The approval un-jammer
That approval that lives in someone's inbox becomes a routed digital step with reminders and an audit trail. Work stops waiting on vacations.
Order-intake robot
Emailed and PDF orders parsed straight into your system with validation and an exception queue — humans only touch the weird ones.
Not sure which one? The Sprint finds your highest-return fix — and can include one quick win inside it.
Discovery, done properly
We diagnose economics, not feature wishlists.
Before anything gets built, we understand what the bottleneck actually costs — in hours, errors, delays and lost capacity. Then the fix has a number attached.
- How does the process work end-to-end — and who touches it?
- Where does information get re-entered, and where do delays stack up?
- What requires a manual handoff that shouldn't?
- What do customers repeatedly call to ask about?
- Which systems are involved — and which ones secretly run on a spreadsheet?
- What breaks first when volume doubles?
- How much time does this consume, and what do errors cost?
- Why now — and what have you already tried?
Then we decide together: buy, integrate, automate, adapt proven technology, or custom build. Recommending the simplest economically sensible solution is how we earn the bigger work.
What a proposal looks like
Every proposal sells a future operating model — not engineering hours.
The situation
Your business context, the operational problem in plain language, and its measurable impact today.
The future workflow
How work will flow after the system exists — the recommended solution and why the alternatives lost.
The commitment
Scope and exclusions, phases, investment, success measures, ongoing support, and the next step. In writing.
Not sure which rung fits?
That's exactly what the Sprint answers. Two weeks, fixed fee, zero obligation to build with us.
