Straight answers

Before you book.

What is the 7-Day Build?

The 7-Day Build is a $4,500 engagement where one responsibility your business depends on becomes a working AI system, live inside your real workflow within 7 business days. It includes the 10-Hour Map of your top automation opportunities, a 90-day roadmap, a live walkthrough, and a subscription audit of every tool you pay for.

Which service firms are the best fit?

Founder-led professional service firms with repeated admin, client follow-ups, billing steps, reporting, or handoffs that still depend on one person remembering the rules. Law, accounting, insurance, advisory, dental, therapy, chiropractic, and med-spa workflows are strong fits when the work has clear rules and a human approval point.

What happens if the system is not live in 7 business days?

I keep building at no additional cost until it is live. You keep the Map, roadmap, and subscription audit either way. The clock pauses only while I am waiting on your access, your decision, or a third party you control, and every pause is documented in writing.

Do I need new software to run an AI system?

No. The system is built inside the accounts you already pay for, such as Gmail, QuickBooks, your CRM, Sheets, and Calendar. There is no migration and nothing new to learn. Your team keeps working the way they already work.

Will the AI send messages to my clients without my approval?

No. Every message is drafted and held for you. You read it, you click, and it goes. This is called 1-Click Approval. Full autonomy is available later, only when the system has earned it and you decide to turn it on.

How is the AI trained on how my business actually works?

It is built on your rules: which clients get a friendly nudge and which get a firm one, when to escalate to you, and what should never be touched. It runs your playbook in your voice, including your exceptions.

Do I need to get organized before we start?

No. Messy drives, half-configured tools, and workflows that live in someone's head are the normal starting point. Untangling that is the work, so there is nothing to prepare and no homework before kickoff.

Do you earn commissions on software you recommend?

No. Nothing recommended earns a referral fee or vendor commission. The reason the recommendation can be trusted is that there is nothing to sell inside it.

What does ongoing support cost after the build?

The first 30 days of monitoring are included. After that the Watch Plan is $350 per month, which keeps the system healthy, fixes what breaks, and adjusts it as the business changes. It is optional and can be cancelled at any time.

Watching

You do not have to fix the whole business.

Start with the thing that slips the most.
