Services

Audit. Build. Operate.

Fixed pricing across every engagement type. Each phase ships a deliverable. The audit stands alone — you can take the report to any builder in the world.

01 — Audit

Three tiers, scaled to org size.

SMB Workflow Audit

$3,5002–3 weeks

Founders and operations leads at organizations with 10–50 employees who suspect a specific back-office workflow is costing more than it should.

In scope

  • Up to 3 core workflows
  • 3–5 stakeholder interviews
  • One 90-minute kickoff session
  • One 60-minute delivery session

Deliverables

  • Current-state process map for each workflow
  • Friction inventory (time cost + error rate per bottleneck)
  • AI-fit assessment for each friction point
  • Build proposal with scoped recommendation and fixed-price estimate
100% upfront before kickoff
Most common

Mid-Market Operations Audit

$7,5003–4 weeks

COOs and heads of operations managing cross-functional workflows across multiple teams, where the handoff between departments is where time and errors accumulate.

In scope

  • 3–5 workflows across up to 2 departments
  • 6–10 stakeholder interviews
  • Weekly progress notes

Deliverables

  • Everything in the SMB tier
  • Data audit (what systems hold what data, accessibility for automation)
  • Phased build roadmap with decision gates
100% upfront before kickoff

Enterprise Audit

$15,000+4–6 weeks

Operations directors or transformation leads inside larger organizations (500+) who need an independent assessment before proposing an internal AI build to leadership.

In scope

  • Custom — defined in a scoping call before proposal
  • Multi-stakeholder discovery sprint
  • Typically a single department or division

Deliverables

  • Full discovery sprint output
  • Stakeholder alignment summary
  • Technical architecture review
  • Build roadmap with ROI model
  • Executive-ready summary (separate from the technical report)
50% on signing, 50% on delivery

02 — Build

Every build engagement is scoped from the audit.

The build proposal is the final section of every audit. It defines the system, the integrations, the expected outcomes, and the fixed price. We do not build anything that was not identified in the audit.

Payment terms: 30% on signing, 40% at the agreed midpoint milestone, 30% on acceptance.

What a build looks like

  • Workflow automation that pulls data from inbound documents, routes it through a decision layer, and writes structured outputs to your existing systems
  • Document processing pipeline that extracts, validates, and classifies information without a human in the loop
  • Multi-step agentic process that replaces a specific sequence of manual tasks — from intake to exception handling to record update
Simple build
$8,000–$18,000
Standard build
$20,000–$45,000
Complex build
$50,000–$120,000

03 — Operate

Production AI systems need ongoing operation.

Output drift, prompt tuning as inputs change, model version updates, periodic performance evaluations, minor feature additions. Retainers are offered at delivery — never promised in the proposal.

Care and Feeding

2–4 hrs/mo

$1,500/mo

Monitoring, drift checks, 2 prompt-tuning cycles, 1 check-in call

Active Optimization

6–10 hrs/mo

$3,500/mo

Above + feature additions and model upgrade management

Embedded AI Ops

10–20 hrs/mo

$6,000–$10,000/mo

Above + architecture decisions, team training, vendor evaluation

Boundaries

What we don't do.

Defining a studio by exclusion is sometimes more useful than defining it by service.

We do not build before auditing.

If you already know exactly what you want built, we will ask you to walk us through the process first. If you cannot describe it in a structured walkthrough, we cannot build it reliably.

We do not take every engagement.

We qualify on three criteria: there is a real, measurable process problem; the person we are speaking to has authority to approve the spend; and the engagement can start within 60 days.

Find the workflow worth fixing.

Tell us about it on a 20-minute diagnostic call. No pitch.
