What we do

Four steps. One price each.
One scorecard.

Start with the Fit Call. Each step pays for the next. Stop whenever you want. Every price is fixed and quoted in writing before you say yes.

Step 1

Fit Call

$0 30 minutes

You tell us about your company. We ask questions. No slides. Within one business day you get a plain yes or no, in writing, on whether an assessment is worth your time and money.

Ask for it in the form on the Contact page.

What you get
  • A 30-minute call. You talk, we ask questions.
  • A plain yes or no, in writing, on whether an assessment is worth your time and money
Step 2

AI Profit Assessment

$7,500 fixed, two to four weeks

We come into your business and find where staff time and money get quietly wasted. We start from one profit goal and work backward to the few changes that move it. You get a ranked list and a target, not a slide deck.

This amount gets credited against Step 3 if you start Step 3 within 60 days.

What you get
  • A map of where staff hours and money get quietly wasted today, in your numbers
  • One profit goal, broken into the two to four drivers that move it
  • Every fix ranked by profit dollars and by risk
  • A 12-month roadmap with a dollar target
  • Your energy bills checked line by line for billing errors and incorrect rate classifications
  • A fixed price for Step 3, in writing, so you decide with the numbers in hand
Step 3

Build the fixes

$15,000 to $40,000 per phase, fixed

We build the fixes from the roadmap in phases, starting with the ones that move the most dollars. Each phase is a working system, not a single feature. We deploy AI agents and automations that run inside your own email, accounting, CRM and industry software. We change the process, retrain your team, and measure before and after.

One phase at a time. Each phase has its own fixed price and its own target.

What you get
  • The first fix running in days, not months
  • Set up inside the tools you own. We use what you already pay for first, and add a new tool only when nothing you own can do the job
  • The fixes implemented in practice, with your staff trained on them
  • Before and after numbers from your own books
  • You own what we build
Step 4

Managed AI Operations

$3,000 to $6,000 per month

We run, watch, fix and improve everything we built, and add new fixes as we find them. Every quarter you get a profit report built from your own books.

Billed monthly in advance. Terms in writing before you start. No contract traps.

What you get
  • Everything we built stays maintained and monitored. If it breaks, we fix it.
  • New fixes implemented as your business changes
  • A quarterly profit report: the dollars gained, how we measured them, the source numbers
  • A direct line to us when something breaks or you have a new idea
What this looks like

You know where it hurts. We find the dollars.

Three illustrations of how the work usually goes. Each starts with what the owner asked for, because nobody knows the business better. The numbers tell us what to build first.

A 60-person HVAC and plumbing contractor

The owner asks for a chatbot on the website.

We start with his numbers. His crews finish jobs on time. But invoices go out two weeks after the job, and a quote takes three days. Slow paperwork is holding back more profit than the website.

What we build first: quotes and invoices that go out the same day, straight from the field app into accounting.

What it moves: profit, and cash in the bank sooner.

An 80-person engineering firm

The owner asks us to help the team use Copilot.

We start with where the hours go. The senior engineers, the people who win the work and bill the most, spend hours every week on proposals and status reports. Those hours are the firm's profit, so that is where AI goes to work first.

What we build first: first drafts of proposals and reports, written from the firm's own past work. An engineer reviews and signs each one.

What it moves: more proposals out the door and more billable hours.

A private golf club with about 300 members

The general manager asks us to answer the phone.

We start with the club's numbers. He is right about the phones. Profit depends on members who renew and on event bookings, but staff time goes to routine calls and tee-time requests, so renewals and event leads wait.

What we build first: call handling and bookings that run on their own, plus follow-up on every renewal and event lead.

What it moves: members kept and event revenue.

How we measure

Measured in your books. Reported every quarter.

Hours saved ≠ profits (yet). We report a gain only when a cost actually falls (overtime, temps, an open role not filled) or revenue actually rises (more jobs handled, faster billing). Freed hours that go unused are reported, but not counted as profit.

Every report opens with the dollars, then what we did, then the support. Your numbers, not ours.

  1. 1

    Baseline

    Before any work, we record your own numbers for the target area: staff hours, cost, revenue, cycle time, errors.

  2. 2

    Target

    One goal with a metric, an amount and a date, agreed with you.

  3. 3

    Build and measure

    Get one fix running, then the rest, with before and after numbers from the same source.

  4. 4

    Report

    Every quarter: the dollars, the method and the source data, built from your own books.

Guardrails

What we will not do.

Let a machine touch money by itself

Anything that touches money, customers or legal matters gets a human review step. Failures are logged and fixed weekly.

Lock you into a tool

We use the AI model and automation tools that fit each job. You own what we build, and it runs in your accounts.

Use your data to train AI

We use business-grade AI tools that do not train on your data, and we put that in the contract. We follow state data protection law and your industry's rules.

Sell a build we cannot put a number on

If the assessment finds nothing worth building, we say so, in writing, and stop.

Later, for clients that meet our criteria

Selling in the next five years?

Buyers pay for two things: steady cash flow and work that runs without the owner. For a few long-term clients, we take on a larger rebuild for a lower cash fee plus a share of the company, earned in steps. A lawyer and a CPA review every such deal.

We also advise on exit preparation: what lowers a sale price, how to fix it, and how documented, automated work raises it. Advice only. We never find buyers and never take a fee tied to a sale.

Included in every assessment

The energy cost check

Energy is one of the few costs nobody in a company owns. The bill arrives, somebody pays it, and nobody reads it. Rate classes go unreviewed for years. Billing errors, demand charges and expired contracts sit in plain sight.

Our founder spent 25 years in energy markets and built and sold a large retail electricity supplier. He knows how these bills are put together, so he easily spots what is wrong. Every assessment includes a line-by-line check of your electric, gas and other energy bills against the filed rates and your contracts. A dollar found there is a direct cost cut.
