Pricing

No invoice you didn't expect.

Every engagement starts with the same free audit, then one of two shapes — a fixed-price first build, or ongoing hourly work — scoped before anything is built.

Engagement

Three ways to start.

Every one of them begins with the same call, and none of them start with an invoice you didn't expect.

Automation audit

Free

I map the repetitive processes across your team, and tell you which are worth automating, which aren't, and what each would take — at no cost, before anything is decided. You keep the map whether or not you build with me.

  • Process + tooling walkthrough
  • Ranked shortlist with effort and impact
  • Free — no obligation to build
Most common

First build

Fixed price per build, starting at $250

One workflow, scoped to a clear deliverable, built on production tooling and tested against your real data. You watch it run end-to-end before we talk about anything else.

  • Starting at $250, scoped before anything is built
  • Wired into your inbox and CRM
  • Tested on your real, messy data

Ongoing partner

Hourly — $25/hr

For once systems are live: monitoring, tuning, and the next workflow when you're ready. This is the part most automation gets wrong — the months after launch.

  • $25/hr, billed for the work actually done
  • Fixes as edge cases surface
  • Expand when it's earning its keep
Not sure which one fits?

Check what's true for the process you're thinking of. This won't quote a price — just point you at the right starting point.

First build

Sounds contained enough to ship as one fixed-price build. The free audit works out exactly what starting at $250 covers here.

What moves the price
  • How many systems the build has to connect to
  • The volume of email, documents or records it runs on
  • What compliance or retention rules apply to the data
  • Whether anything is allowed to send without a human review
The guarantee

Tested before it ships, not after.

Every build runs against your real, messy data before it goes live. If it isn't accurate enough to trust, it doesn't ship — you're not paying for a system that quietly fails on the work that matters.

Not a fit if
  • You need something sent to clients fully unattended, with no human review
  • The process happens rarely enough that automating it costs more than doing it by hand
  • You can't give a build access to the real systems or data it needs to be tested against
  • You need a large support desk or bench — this is one engineer, not a team

Questions

The questions buyers actually ask.

Still unsure if your process is a fit? The fastest answer is a ten-minute call.

  • Yes. Systems run in your environment with your accounts and keys — your data isn't sold or used to train public models. I build to the access and retention rules your work requires, with human review where accuracy matters.

  • A short call to see if a process is worth automating. If it is, I scope a first build with a clear deliverable — usually one workflow you can watch run end-to-end before we expand.

  • Most engagements are fixed-price per build, starting at $250, or $25/hr for ongoing work. You'll know the number before we start — no surprise invoices.

  • That's the whole point of how I build. It's tested on your real, messy data before launch, with a human in the loop where it counts, and monitored after — so the failure cases are handled, not discovered in production.

  • Any business running into the same wall: too much repetitive, high-stakes work for the team carrying it. The pattern that qualifies a business isn't its industry — it's a team drowning in repetitive email, intake, document, or CRM work. So far that's included law firms, marketing agencies, accounting and finance operations, and professional-services firms; the case studies on this site skew legal because that's where the most contracts have landed to date, not because it's the only fit.

  • All three are real options, and sometimes they're the right one. No-code tools work until the logic gets complex enough that you're debugging someone else's automation builder instead of your own process. An in-house hire makes sense once there's enough recurring work to justify a full-time seat. A bigger agency buys you a bigger team, usually at the cost of an account manager standing between you and whoever is actually doing the work. What I offer is the case in between: a system built for exactly your process, by the person who built it and who stays accountable for it — without the overhead of a full-time hire or the distance of an account team.
