Name the friction
Start with what feels slow, repetitive, expensive, confusing, or fragile.
Clarity before automation.
Talk to the discovery agent first. It helps identify the pain point, estimate the benefit, and decide whether a call is worth booking.
01Discovery is the intake
The first job is not to sell a build.
Estimate the upside
The agent helps turn the pain point into a practical benefit range.
Book when clear
A call comes after the opportunity is concrete enough to discuss.
02A useful pause
If the benefit is not clear, the next step is not another meeting.
The agent is there to turn vague automation interest into a grounded target: the workflow, the cost of the problem, the likely benefit, and the smallest useful next move.

04Pricing range
Start with clarity. Scale only what earns it.
First, we will figure out if the project makes sense for you and help you get clarity on how valuable automation is for you. If the project makes sense for the both of us, then these are the rates that I will charge. Different projects have different complexity, and so the charge will vary based on that.
Consulting hours$100-$500/session
Paid audits$500-$2,500
Project work$2,500-$10,000
Retainers$3,000-$10,000/month
05Next step
Let the agent find the point of leverage.
When the pain point and upside are clear, the process naturally becomes a focused call about what should be built.
