How we work

Small, fixed pieces of work that pay for themselves.

No retainers and no open-ended day rates. Every engagement has a written scope and a fixed price, agreed before we start.

From first call to handover

  1. Step 1

    A conversation

    You tell us what's taking up your team's time. We ask a lot of questions about how the work happens today. This costs nothing.

  2. Step 2

    A written scope

    We send back a short, plain-English scope: what we'll build, what it won't do, what we need from you, and a fixed price.

  3. Step 3

    The build

    We build against your real workflow and tools, and show you working versions early rather than a big reveal at the end.

  4. Step 4

    Handover

    We walk your team through it, leave simple instructions, and make sure it can run without us.

Three sizes of engagement

Quick Win

One task, one fix. Small enough to deliver quickly and big enough to show whether it's worth going further.

Good if you want to try AI on one specific job before committing further.

Automation Sprint

A single workflow automated end to end: inputs, processing, checks and the hand-off into your systems. This is where most clients start.

Good if one workflow is clearly costing you time every week.

Operations Uplift

Several related workflows planned and delivered together, so they work as one system rather than a collection of separate fixes.

Good if several connected jobs need sorting at once.

Websites

We also design and build websites for small businesses: fast, clear and easy to update. They can be added to any of the engagements above or done on their own.

What you can hold us to

  • Fixed scope and fixed price, agreed in writing before work starts
  • Every scope says what's not included as clearly as what is
  • We'll tell you if the answer is a simpler fix than AI
  • Your data stays in your systems wherever possible, and we'll tell you exactly where it goes
  • A person stays in the loop wherever a mistake would matter
  • You own what we build

Start with a conversation.

Tell us what's eating your team's time. We'll tell you honestly whether AI is the right fix, and what a sensible first step looks like.
