Three ways I can help
your business win.
Each engagement is designed around how small businesses actually make decisions: cautiously, with real money, on real timelines. Start where you are.
Opportunity Audit
For companies that know technology could help them but aren't sure what's actually worth their money and attention.
I spend time with you and a few of your employees to learn your operations, practices, and potential. I identify the top three to five highest-ROI initiatives for your goals, AI or otherwise, and produce a report laying out your optimal strategy, tools, and implementation steps with realistic cost estimates.
You get my findings presented in an actionable format, not buried in a dense PDF you'll never read. By the end, you know exactly what to do next and what to skip.
- On-site or remote discovery sessions with you and your team
- Top 3-5 highest-ROI initiatives, ranked and explained, AI or otherwise
- Tool recommendations with implementation cost estimates
- Written report in plain language
- Live presentation of findings
Implementation
For companies ready to take the next step and squeeze real bottom-line value out of the right combination of tools, workflows, and custom software.
I design, build, deploy, and monitor the strategy laid out in your audit report. This isn't a handoff to a vendor you've never met. I'm the engineer building it and the one who stays accountable for the outcome. The implementation might be a custom AI integration, a workflow automation, a connection between systems that should have been talking to each other years ago, or a piece of custom software that didn't exist before. Whatever the situation calls for.
Scope and price depend on what we're building. Small integrations run $5K-$10K. More complex custom systems run up to $30K and beyond. I'll tell you upfront which bucket your project falls into and why.
- Scoped proposal with fixed deliverables
- Design, build, and deployment of the systems we scope
- Integration with your existing tools and workflows
- Testing, monitoring, and handoff documentation
- 30 days of post-launch support
Strategy Retainer
For companies that want ongoing guidance or to keep improving their systems beyond the initial implementation.
The technology landscape moves fast, and AI is the most volatile piece of it. What's worth your money today is different from what was worth it last year, and it will be different again next year. A retainer keeps a trusted advisor in your corner as things change. Someone who already knows your business, your constraints, and what you've already built.
At $1K/month you get strategic guidance and a defined number of support hours. At $2K/month you get more hands-on implementation time and faster response windows. Scope is defined in the agreement and renewed monthly.
- Monthly strategy check-in
- Defined hours for implementation or support work
- Access to me for questions as things come up
- Priority scheduling for new projects
- Ongoing monitoring of tools and systems in use
No pitch. No pressure. Just expert advice.
