Workflow automation setup for small businesses

Get one repetitive process off your plate. We map one process in your business (quotes, document intake, follow-ups, paperwork) and set up a workflow for it in the tools you already use. A person reviews anything that goes to a customer. Fixed price, quoted before you pay, and you own it.

Pricing starts at $249 for a Workflow Map.

Who it's for

  • Owner-run service and trade businesses, contractors, and small offices (roughly 1-25 people)
  • Teams where one person re-types the same information into quotes, forms, or emails every week
  • Businesses already using Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or similar tools

Probably not a fit if

  • the process involves health records, card numbers, or bank/payroll logins
  • you want a fully autonomous system that acts without anyone checking
  • you need enterprise IT procurement

Problems we help with

  • Quotes and proposals rebuilt from scratch from notes, emails, or line items
  • New inquiries that sit in an inbox until someone has time to sort them
  • Documents (bid packs, specs, forms) that someone has to read and summarize by hand
  • Follow-ups that slip because nobody owns them

We won't promise how many hours you'll save. The Workflow Map records how long the process takes you today, so you can measure it yourself afterwards.

The turnaround starts once we have what we need from you (see "What you provide") and a start date is confirmed in writing. We take one build at a time, so we'll confirm your start date before you pay.

What you get

Workflow Map: $249

  • A 30-45 minute intake call, or a written questionnaire if you prefer
  • A one-page map of one process: the steps, who does them, which tools, and where it stalls
  • A plan that says which steps to automate, which stay human, and why
  • Tool options with each vendor's published price (you check before buying)
  • A fixed price for building it
  • 1 revision round

One Workflow Build: $499+

  • The map for the chosen process
  • One workflow set up and tested in your accounts: 1 trigger, up to 5 steps, up to 2 connected apps
  • An AI step only where it helps (e.g. drafting a quote or summarizing a document)
  • A human-approval step before anything goes to a customer (on by default)
  • 5 test runs on sample data, with results logged
  • A written runbook plus a short recorded walkthrough
  • 1 revision round and a 14-day fix window

Connected Workflows: from $1,200

  • Up to 3 workflows and up to 4 connected apps, sharing one log
  • Can include documents or quotes generated from a template we set up with you
  • Alerts to a named person if a run fails
  • A 30-minute training session, runbook, and walkthrough video
  • 1 revision round per workflow and a 30-day fix window
  • Written scope and fixed price confirmed before you pay

Not included (any tier)

  • custom software or apps
  • workflows touching regulated data
  • bank or payroll access
  • your tool subscriptions (you pay vendors directly)
  • ongoing retainers

What you provide

  • One person who can answer questions and approve outputs
  • 3-5 examples of what comes in and what should come out. Redacted or made-up examples are fine.
  • The list of tools you already pay for
  • Your inputs within 10 business days of kickoff. If they arrive later, the clock pauses.

For builds:

  • access through your tool's own invite or sharing feature. We never ask for passwords.
  • a signed-off scope before we start
  • time for two short check-ins (three for Connected Workflows, including a 30-minute training session)

How it works

  1. Describe the process. Use the form below. Three lines is enough.
  2. We confirm fit. We reply by email with whether it fits, which tier, and a fixed price. Nothing is charged at this step.
  3. Scope in writing. For builds, you approve a short written scope.
  4. Pay by secure link. We email a Stripe payment link for the agreed tier only after fit and scope are confirmed. Workflow Map, Implementation, and Connected or custom work have no public payment button. Connected Workflows is paid 50% upfront and 50% at handoff. Contact to start.
  5. We map and build. Check-ins are at kickoff and handoff.
  6. Handoff. You get the runbook and walkthrough, and we ask you to remove our access.

  • Fixes: Defects within the signed scope are fixed free for 14 days (One Workflow Build) or 30 days (Connected Workflows) after handoff.
  • Your files: Used only for your job and deleted 30 days after handoff, or sooner if you ask in writing. No passwords, ever. We'll sign a reasonable mutual NDA on request. File retention policy.
  • Payment: By Stripe link, emailed only after fit and scope are confirmed. There is no public payment button for Workflow Map, Implementation, or Connected or custom work. Your tool subscriptions are paid directly to the vendors. Payment and delay rules.
  • Delays: If inputs haven't arrived 10 business days after kickoff, the clock pauses. After 30 days without a response the job is paused. It can restart within 60 days at the same price.

FAQ

What does "AI workflow" mean here?

A set of steps that runs in your software when something happens: a form comes in, an email arrives, a file is dropped. Some steps use an AI model to draft or summarize. A person checks the result before it reaches a customer.

Which tools do you use?

Yours, first. The workflow is built in the tools you already use. We have not published a platform list. We never ask for passwords.

Will this replace my staff?

No. It takes repetitive steps off someone's plate, and a person still approves anything customer-facing.

How much time will it save?

We don't promise a number. The Workflow Map records how long the process takes you today, so you can compare afterwards.

Who owns the workflow?

You do. It's built in your accounts, and the runbook explains how to change it or turn it off.

What will it cost me each month?

Only your own tool subscriptions, paid directly to the vendors. The plan lists each vendor's published price. We don't charge a monthly fee.

What happens to my files?

They're used only for your job and deleted 30 days after handoff, or sooner if you ask in writing. We never ask for passwords, and we ask you to remove our access at handoff. Parts of the material you send may be processed by the AI tools we use, so we work from redacted or sample data wherever the job allows.

What if it breaks?

If the workflow doesn't do what the signed scope says, we fix it free within 14 days of handoff for a One Workflow Build, or 30 days for Connected Workflows. After that, fixes are quoted per request.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, in full if you cancel before kickoff. After kickoff, you get a full refund if we can't deliver what the signed scope describes, even after the included revision round or fix window. Changes you request to the scope, and delays of more than 30 days on your side, aren't refundable.

Why trust us

  • Fixed price, quoted before you pay. Nothing is charged before fit and scope are confirmed.
  • You own it. Everything is built in your accounts. We never ask for passwords.
  • A person reviews anything customer-facing.
  • Written policies: refunds, revisions, fix windows, and file deletion are spelled out above, before you pay.
  • We say what we don't do: no guaranteed savings, no autonomous agents acting without review, no regulated data.
  • We're new to building workflows for outside clients, and we'd rather tell you that than dress it up. The demo is our own internal workflow on fictional data.

Tell us one process you'd like off your plate.

Three lines is enough: what comes in, what should come out, and who touches it today. We'll reply with whether it fits and a fixed price. Nothing is charged until you approve.
