One Broken Workflow
Stop doing that task twice.
Copying an enquiry into a spreadsheet. Moving product data between tools. Sending the same follow-up by hand.
Show me one repetitive task. I’ll map it, check the tools, and quote a workflow with a clear finish.
See my retail workflowA small job with a clear finish.
These are examples of work we could scope together.
- Lead intake
- An enquiry reaches the right place with the details you need to act on it.
- Product data
- An agreed import checks the input, updates the right fields, and flags exceptions.
- Follow-up
- A quote or booking triggers the agreed next step, with your approval where needed.
- Reporting
- A repeatable report replaces pulling the same figures together by hand.
You get the handover, too.
You should know what triggers the workflow, where the data goes, and what to do if it stops.
The build includes the agreed checks, operating instructions, and a manual fallback. Optional ongoing support gets its own scope.
Before you book.
What does the $250 discovery produce?
A map of one workflow, the tools and access it needs, how failures should be handled, and a fixed implementation quote. You can review that before committing to a build.
How much is the build?
Implementation starts at $1,500 and is quoted separately from discovery. The price depends on the number of systems and the work needed to make the handoff reliable. Any ongoing software or API charges are listed before you agree.
What happens if the automation fails?
The scope includes how to detect a failure, who should be told, and how to continue manually. I test the agreed failure cases as well as the successful path before handover.
Do I have to replace my tools?
Not necessarily. I start with what you use now and check whether it supports the connection we need. Any replacement is a separate decision, explained before the build.
Describe the task you keep repeating.
Tell me where the information starts, where it needs to end up, and what you do in between.

What to send
- The task you repeat
- The tools involved
- What a finished result looks like
A short description is enough to start. Access comes after we agree the work.
