Five things, and every price is on this page.
Most firms in this category will not tell you what anything costs until you have had a call about it. We read eighteen of their pages line by line: four showed any figure at all, and every one of those was a wide range. Ours are exact, and every price sits on one page.
We look at what you have and write down what we would do about it. Yours to keep, whoever ends up building it — including nobody.
You suspect there is something here but cannot yet say what it is worth, or you have been quoted for a build and want a second opinion before you commit.
$1,350
One working system, live in two weeks. It answers from your own records and stops at anything it should not decide on its own.
Somebody answers the same question forty times a week and the answer is already in a system they have to open and read.
$5,400
Two systems joined, or one moved into another, then checked field by field afterwards rather than by counting rows.
Two systems disagree and somebody reconciles them by hand, or you are moving and need to know it actually landed.
$3,250 or $11,500
The system your business runs on, built on a platform you already chose. No AI in it — it stops the retyping.
You run on paper, a WhatsApp group and a spreadsheet somebody built years ago, and nobody can explain the whole of it.
$2,550 or $4,550
Four fixed prices, from a health check that changes nothing to a move that is checked afterwards.
The same customer appears three times, or the marketing list emails one person twice.
from $390
How to tell which one you need.
-
If a person is repeating the same answer, it is the agent build.
The test is whether the answer already exists somewhere in your systems and a human is just fetching it. If they are exercising judgement each time, an agent is the wrong tool and we will say so. The agent build, at $5,400.
-
If nobody can explain how the whole thing runs, it is the system build.
Paper, a WhatsApp group and a spreadsheet somebody built years ago. Ask four people how it works and you get four answers. There is no AI in this one — it just stops the retyping. The system you run on, at $2,550 or $4,550.
-
If two systems disagree, it is the integration.
Somebody keys the same thing twice, or exports from one and imports into the other on a Friday. Same answer if you are moving off something and need to know it landed. The integration, at $3,250 or $11,500.
-
If the work only happens because somebody remembers, it should run on its own.
The test is whether the job would still get done if that person went away for a fortnight. Same job every time, and nobody has to start it. Work that runs on its own, at $2,550 or $3,950.
-
If somebody is reading a document and typing the numbers somewhere else, that is the paperwork job.
Invoices, delivery notes, order forms. The test is whether the numbers already exist on a piece of paper and a person is moving them by hand. If they are ordinary invoices going into ordinary accounting software, we will point you at a product instead and say so plainly. The paperwork, at $3,650.
-
If the records themselves are the problem, it is the record work.
The same customer three times, contacts nobody can email, a report that counts one company as three. Start with the $390 check, which changes nothing and tells you whether there is a problem worth paying to fix. The record work, from $390.
-
If you run an MSP and the work is for your own clients, start on the MSP page.
You are buying this to sell it on, and you have a rule about who gets a login to your systems. That page answers the login question first and prices the work as something you resell. Automation for MSPs.
-
If you cannot tell yet, that is what the written review is for.
$1,350, and what you get is a document: what we would do, what it would cost, what we would not touch and why. It is yours whoever ends up building it. If the honest answer is that you do not need any of this, the document says that. There is a specimen you can read in full before you decide.
-
And if none of it applies, we would rather tell you.
The rules we refuse work under came out of building the six systems, not out of a policy document — each one is a line we hit. A job we talk you out of costs us one fee; a job that should never have been built costs us the reference.
True of all five, whichever you pick.
-
You own all of it.
The code, the credentials and a written runbook. Yours to use from the first delivery, and yours outright the day the last invoice is paid. No licence, no seat count, nothing that stops working if you stop paying us. Hand it to your own developer whenever you like.
-
The price is agreed in writing before anything starts.
Including what is not in it. If the job turns out to be smaller than the price on this page, we say so — that has already cost us work and it will again.
-
Nothing decides anything that costs money on its own.
A refund, a credit, a price change, a payment release. The system prepares the decision and a person takes it, and you can watch it stop in any of the six systems we publish.
-
We publish what our numbers do not cover.
Precision and recall rather than an accuracy score, and what each figure fails to say written next to it.
Six systems you can open before speaking to anyone.
They are copies of the systems we built for named companies, which are running in those businesses now. The copies here are loaded with invented records so that anyone can try one. Of the eighteen competitor pages we read, not one lets a visitor run anything at all.
Tell us what somebody does by hand.
One paragraph is enough: the job, who does it, and how often. We will tell you which of the four it is, or that it is none of them. We reply within one business day.
If you are still deciding whether to hire anyone for this, the page on choosing an automation firm shows what we publish and what the rest of the trade does not. If the question is whether we work inside something you already pay for, the platforms we build on answers that one.
