Built with you, not for you.

Three ways to start. Either way, you leave with tools that fit your work and the skills to run them without me.

Three ways to start

The three ways to start, compared
01 / The free assessment

Two calls, one per company. You show me the work; I show you what I'd fix, what you can fix yourself for free, and what I'd charge for the rest.

02 / Customized training

A live session built on your actual work. Not a workshop, not a curriculum.

03 / Build + handover

You bring the problem. I build the whole thing and leave you an interface your team runs.

What you bringA repo, or last month's reports and one recurring taskWhat you bringThe report you rebuild every month, or the process nobody wants to ownWhat you bringThe problem, and access to the systems it has to plug into
What happensTwo calls: discovery, then a readout on your actual filesWhat happensA live session built around that work, one on one or a small groupWhat happensI build it end to end, in your accounts, with one working session a week
What you leave withA readout you can forward, a fix-it-yourself list, and a scoped proposal if there's paid work worth doingWhat you leave withYou've done it once on your own files, and you have the written version to do it againWhat you leave withA working tool, a plain interface your staff runs, and the written version of how it works
What it costs$0, one per companyWhat it costsPaid, scoped to your team's size and what you bringWhat it costsPriced per phase, scoped to what we agree to build. You see the number before you commit.

The best thing they'd built wasn't shipping

346 independently verified records, fully built, reaching zero users. The assessment found it. A free punch list and a scoped three-phase plan came out of it.

Less AI than the others — and the clearest picture of how the handover works.

AI across every department, run by a team with no engineers

Governance first, then 25 tools built with their staff and 7 switched on out of the box — 3 of them plain automation with no AI. Every one is run by their own team.

The engagement path

What a build engagement looks like.

Three phases, each with a written exit review. Governance comes first (about two weeks) because it's the part most people skip.

  1. 01
    Governance and foundationabout two weeks

    Governance means the rules and accounts for who can put what into which AI system. We write those rules down and set up the accounts before any tool. If there's code, the tests and checks you already have get wired in so they run on every change. Rules that live in documents fail silently; rules that live in machines don't. You leave with a written policy your team wrote with me and the checks that catch it when someone forgets.

  2. 02
    Buildscoped, fixed price

    One working session a week, screen-share, recorded. Everything lands somewhere your team can open and change: a pull request, a shared doc, a tool in your own accounts, never in mine. You're at the keyboard for enough of it that you can change it later. Some of what we build won't use AI at all.

  3. 03
    Handoverhow it ends

    Someone on your team runs a full cycle without me, while I watch. The skills and the docs are packaged as yours. Then I leave.

What you leave with

Tools and the skills to run them.

01

The tool.

The thing that does the work, in your accounts, built to be changed.

02

The skill.

A written set of instructions your AI tools follow by default: your brand voice, your rules, your format, so nobody re-explains it every time.

03

The practice.

You've done it yourself, at least twice, with me in the room.

How I work

The terms, plainly.

  • One working session a week. Async in between, in your channels.
  • Every phase ends with a written exit review against criteria we agreed up front. The next phase starts when you say so.
  • Priced per phase, scoped to what we agree to build. You'll see the exact number before you commit to anything.
  • You buy your own software. I set it up, but the accounts are yours from day one.
  • It's just me. If the work needs more than one person, I'll tell you.

Not sure which door?

Happy to talk through which one fits before you pick. The first two calls are free either way.
