Are your competitors lapping you with AI?
Still doing these by hand?
- Month-end close eats a week. All by hand.
- Payroll takes 12 hours. Every week.
- Quotes go out at 9pm. Or three days late.
Your business still runs on you. In 8 weeks, your team runs the first AI systems that take this off you.
How we get AI running your business
We're the AI consultants who build it into your business — with your team, in your accounts. Your first AI-powered workflow is live within a week of starting, and if your people can't run it all without us by week 8, we keep working free until they can.

We map where AI pays first
Your Scorecard starts it; the Build Plan finishes it. The day after the call you have every workflow ranked by the hours it eats, build #1 sketched on your tools, and a fixed price per line.

We build it with your team
Your first AI-powered workflow is live within a week of starting. In your accounts, on tools you already run; your person is at the keyboard one hour a week, we do the heavy lifting between sessions.
- 3
We hand you the keys
By week 8 your team runs it, extends it, and owns it — every login, every file. We stay on call for four months after.
Three owners who already did this
Owner-run businesses run on systems we built with them. Here are three.
Fix My Books · Bookkeeping
Client onboarding, 75% faster.
Client onboarding used to eat the week. The system we built with them runs it now, and the hours went into taking on more clients. Their office manager owns it and has built two more workflows since.
Grit Construction
No more invoicing at 9pm.
Brett billed after dinner, every night. Now invoices build and send themselves. His office built it alongside us and has extended it without calling. His evenings are his again.
Jan-Pro · Commercial Cleaning
Every quote right, the first time.
Reps did the math in a spreadsheet, copied it to a quote, copied it to a contract. Now it's one flow their team owns end to end — no re-typing, no wondering if the number is right.
These are real, named clients and their actual numbers. Every business starts from a different place, so results vary and no specific outcome is guaranteed.
What's running by week 8
Built in 8 working sessions with your person at the keyboard — then we're on call for 4 months after.
The Build Plan
Every workflow ranked by hours lost, with a fixed price per build, in your hands the day after the call. Yours to keep either way.
Nothing Sits Overnight
New work gets answered, qualified and booked. Even at 4:40 on a Friday.
Quotes Out Same Day
It drafts the quote from the job details. You approve it in two minutes.
Money Out The Door
Invoices and reminders send themselves. You stop chasing.
Kills “Nobody here is technical.”
The Handoff Vault
Every system written down as a one-page runbook, every session recorded. Plus our whole template library, yours for life.
Kills “What if it breaks after you leave?”
The On-Call Four
Four months of us on call after week 8. It runs in your accounts, so any developer can pick it up too.
Kills “What happens when we want more?”
The Next Ten
The next ten things to automate, ranked. Your team builds them without us.
Why not just hire an AI consultant?
Most AI consulting ends one of two ways: a strategy deck you still have to go build, or systems that live in the consultant's accounts and bill you every month forever. We do the consulting and the building, with your team, in your accounts — then we leave.
For you if
- ✓You own the place and do $1M–$10M
- ✓Contractor, bookkeeper, agency, engineering firm, franchise
- ✓One person can give this an hour a week
Not for you if
- ✕You want someone else to run it forever
- ✕You're shopping for a $500/mo tool
- ✕Nobody on your team has an hour a week
Doing nothing isn't free
Example: a typical office. Your Scorecard uses your numbers.
- Office manager, 15 hrs/week on busywork at $38/hr$28,500/yr
- Your nights, 8 hrs/week quoting16 days/yr
- One $2,300 job a month lost to a slow quote$28,000/yr
Add up your own numbers. It's worse than you think.
Two-Session Exit
After session two, either side can stop. Remaining payments are cancelled, and you keep your Build Plan and everything built so far.
Finished-Work Promise
Attend the eight sessions and do the under-90-minute weekly homework. If your team can't run what we built without us by week 8, we keep working free until they can.
Two founders do every build.
In your accounts, with your team at the keyboard. Then we leave.
A buildout takes eight weeks. Start by November 5 and your eight weeks finish before year-end.
Straight answers
What does it cost?+
We give you a fixed price per build on the 30-minute Build Plan call, once we've checked your hours with you. One payment, one time — there's no month thirteen. And you keep the Build Plan either way.
What's in the Scorecard?+
About 90 seconds of taps, and you get a personalised two-page PDF by email and text: the three workflows in your business AI should take over first, ranked by hours back, with the labor cost each one is eating, what it takes to build on the tools you already run, your 90-day build order, and a five-step recipe to build #1 yourself. Every number is computed from your answers and the assumptions are printed.
What happens on the Build Plan call?+
You talk, we listen. In 30 minutes Carter or Ben checks your Scorecard hours with you, sketches build #1 on your actual tools, and gives you a fixed price for each line. If we can't find one build worth five hours a week, we say so in the first ten minutes and give you the time back. You keep the Build Plan whether or not you hire us.
Is this just ChatGPT training?+
No. ChatGPT is maybe one of the eight or ten tools we touch, and rarely the important one. What saves you money is unglamorous: a form that fills a job record, a follow-up that sends itself on day three, a report that builds itself Monday morning.
Nobody here is technical.+
Nobody learns to code. If your office manager can build a spreadsheet formula, she can do this.
How much of my time?+
One hour a week for eight weeks, plus under 90 minutes of homework in between. About 20 hours total.
What if it's not a fit?+
After session two, either side can stop. Remaining payments are cancelled, and you keep your Build Plan and everything built so far.
What if it breaks after you leave?+
Every build comes with a runbook. You get four months of us on call. And it all runs in your accounts, so any developer can pick it up.
How is this different from an agency?+
An agency builds it in their accounts and bills you every month forever. We build it in yours, then leave.
Carter & Ben. The two people you'll actually work with — the same two who built the systems for Fix My Books, Grit Construction, and Jan-Pro. We'd rather teach you to own your systems than bill you forever.
