BUILT NOT BOUGHT
What I build

One system, scoped to the work still stuck on you.

I don't sell hours by the department. I diagnose the bottleneck, build the one system that removes it, and hand you something that runs without you — in weeks, not quarters.

Work With Me → Scoping assessment · honest answer, even if it's "not yet"
The four builds

Four reasons your business still needs you in the weeds.

If one of these is quietly costing you every week, it's a custom build — and it costs less than the workaround. Each one starts the same way: a diagnostic, not a quote.

01

The Franken-Stack

Five subscriptions duct-taped together, leaking time and client data in every gap. Zapier patches the symptom and adds another bill.

What I build

One custom system that does the whole job — no gaps to fall through.

  • checkA single tool that replaces the patchwork of subscriptions
  • checkYour data in one place instead of leaking between apps
  • checkBuilt around the way you actually work, not a template
  • checkHanded off so it runs without me — and without the monthly bill stack
What I build

An internal AI knowledge base your team chats with — instead of interrupting you.

  • checkYour process and answers, captured once and queryable
  • checkTeam asks the tool instead of texting you first
  • checkReplaces the wiki nobody reads with something people actually use
  • checkYou stop being the walking help desk
02

The Brain Drain

Your team can't move without texting you first. The "fix" was a Notion wiki nobody reads. You've built a job where you're the walking help desk.

03

The Blank Page

Hours lost turning client notes into custom roadmaps, recaps and reports. ChatGPT gets you 60% there and sounds nothing like you.

What I build

A generation engine tuned to your exact framework — notes in, on-brand deliverable out.

  • checkTrained on your framework, voice and deliverable formats
  • checkNotes go in; a finished, on-brand draft comes out
  • checkCloses the last 40% generic AI can't reach
  • checkBuilt and proven — this is how Content OS works in the wild
What I build

An insights engine that reads it all and drops a 3-bullet brief in your inbox weekly.

  • checkReads every form, review and transcript automatically
  • checkReturns proof instead of a gut feeling
  • checkA short brief in your inbox, not another dashboard to check
  • checkScored against a fixed rubric — the same idea behind SalesScore
04

Data Graveyard

Hundreds of feedback forms, reviews and call transcripts — and a gut feeling instead of proof. CSV exports and pivot tables don't cut it.

Not sure which one is yours? That's what the diagnostic is for.

DIAGNOSE BUILD HANDOFF
How it works

Three steps. Weeks, not quarters.

01

Diagnose

You show me what's eating your week. I find the bottleneck and tell you exactly what to build — before you spend a dollar.

02

Build

Scoped tight, built fast — 2–6 weeks depending on the build. You see it working as it comes together.

03

Hand off

You own it. It runs without you — and without me. Stay on retainer only if you want it to keep growing.

What the diagnosis checks

Four things have to line up before you spend a dollar.

01Your process

It's built around the way you already work — not a template you'd have to adapt to.

02The real bottleneck

We build for the thing actually costing you hours every week. Nothing else.

03Timing

Whether now is the moment, given everything else moving in the business.

04Ownership

That you're set up to own it after hand-off — no dependency on me.

"If those don't line up, I'll tell you — sometimes the honest answer is 'not yet.' I'd rather lose the project than build you something you'll resent maintaining."

What it costs

Built for you, start to finish.

Every engagement starts with the diagnostic — a fixed scope and a flat number before you commit. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices.

Done for you
$5,000 starting

I diagnose the bottleneck, scope it tight, and build the one system that removes it — then hand it over running. Final number is fixed once we've scoped. Most builds ship in 2–6 weeks.

Optional retainer. Want it to keep growing after hand-off? An ongoing retainer is available for done-for-you builds, scoped to what you actually need.

Not sure a build is the move? The diagnostic tells you — and sometimes the honest answer is "not yet."

Not sure
what you
need?

Take the scoping assessment. It finds the bottleneck, tells you what to build, and shows you the price. Sometimes the answer is "not yet," and I'll tell you that too.
