Fixed price. Checked work. You own it.

You talk to the person who builds it, not a salesperson. We price the job upfront, connect the software you already run, and hand over everything we build.

Most software projects fail in one of two ways. Either an agency bills you by the hour until your budget runs out, or a consultant hands you a slide deck and leaves. We do neither. Every engagement follows the same four steps so you know the cost before we start.

1. Paid Ops Assessment

We watch the workflow as it happens today. We check the inputs, find where people have to retype data, and measure your baseline hours and error rate. You keep the workflow map even if we stop there.

2. Fixed price before we build

Using the baseline from the assessment, we quote one flat price for the build and credit your assessment fee toward it. If our team takes longer than expected, that is on us. Your price does not move.

3. Built on the tools you already run

We do not rip out your software or force your team into a new platform. Rules and code handle the predictable steps. AI handles the messy cases. A person approves anything risky, and every step is logged.

4. Clean handoff and optional care

When the workflow hits the target we set, you own the code, the notes, and the logs. Run it with your own team, or add our optional monthly Care Plan for monitoring and small fixes. No lock-in.

Why we price the job, not the hour.

The problem with hourly billing: When a shop bills by the hour, slow work makes them more money. You take all the risk when an integration gets messy.

Why it hurts: You end up watching the clock instead of fixing the operation. Half-finished tools sit on the shelf because the budget ran out before the edge cases were checked.

How we fix it: We tie our price to the job getting done. In the Ops Assessment, we measure what the broken handoff costs you today. Then we quote a fixed price that makes sense against that cost. We use our own senior architects to design the rules and check every step, and our build team handles the heavy lifting—so you pay for a working fix, not a timesheet.

Plain proof from the field:

  • For a multi-location owner, a payroll tool we built saves about 6 hours a week on average. An agent checks hours and pay rates daily, flags corrections, and builds a file ready to import at payroll time.
  • For a multi-branch landscape company, we replaced paper onboarding with digital new-hire packets—zero paper—and built PDF contract extraction with a job setup audit. In the first month, it potentially caught about $25k in bad billing.

Want to go first on a workflow we haven't published yet?

We are always adding plain-language proof from real service businesses. If you bring us a messy back-office handoff and agree to let us share the anonymized before-and-after numbers once the build passes your check, we apply a Case Study Credit directly to your fixed-price quote.
