A one-hour session and a written roadmap in four days: what's worth automating, what it costs, what it saves. Then a specialist who actually builds it.
Get your AI Roadmap — USD $500The problem
Maybe you've already tried something — a tool someone vibe-coded, a custom GPT, an agent, a contractor. It worked for a while, then it stalled. Not because the tool was wrong, but because nobody owned it: nobody rolled it out, got the team actually using it, and kept improving it.
Someone has to build it, roll it out, and keep improving it as the tools change. That's a job — and it's the job we fill.
Next steps
We go through your processes: where the time goes, and which jobs are genuinely worth automating.
Workflows mapped, opportunities ranked by hours saved, costs, and a verdict on each.
Yourself, or with us. The roadmap tells you which makes sense.
Why our pricing works differently
Consultancies mark up consultants — that's the business model, and it's why their rates sit where they do. We don't do that. We recruit the best AI Automation Specialists from the most affordable regions and pay them at the top of their own market. Excellent people, excellent money where they live, and nothing like a North American rate card.
Consultancy figures are 2026 market rates for small and mid-market engagements.
Implementation
Option 1
Take the roadmap and go. Best if you already have someone technical, or the wins are small enough to do in an afternoon.
Plenty of roadmaps end here, and that's a good outcome.
Option 2 · Start here if you're not sure
An AI Automation Specialist builds it inside your tools, directed and reviewed by a senior coach — so the management load sits with us. Two-week cycles, stop whenever.
Choose this if: you don't yet know how much work there is, you want it built now rather than after a hiring process, or you don't want to manage anyone.
If it grows into a full role, we hire for it and hand over cleanly.

We recruit the person, long-term or contract, to sit inside your business.
Choose this if: the work is clearly ongoing, you want someone learning your business, you're happy managing a person, and you're thinking in years rather than weeks.
Then keep them sharp. Through our Accelerator, your hire trains with a senior AI coach and joins the same peer group of automation specialists — so they keep compounding after they start, instead of going stale six months in. From USD $129/month per hire.
Contract first if you want to test the workload before committing to a permanent role.

The questions we always get
That's why there are two people, not one. The coach directs and reviews the work, so the management load sits with us.
Then often you don't need this, and the roadmap will say so. Where it does help is the part a dev team structurally can't do — sitting with your people until they actually adopt what's built, and the workflows that never reach the top of a dev queue.
Everything built is yours, with documentation.
Named accounts you create and revoke, on the lowest permission the work needs. No shared logins. NDA as standard.
Usually $30 to $100 a month. You see the estimate before anything gets built.
Often you should, and the roadmap will say so. But you don't know how many hours this takes until you've done a few months of it — and a hiring process is an expensive way to find out. Start Fractional, learn the real number, and if it's a full role we'll hire for it.
That's what the roadmap is for. Most people don't.
