9 hours back every week. So you can focus on what lights you up.

We take three repetitive jobs off your plate. Each one hands back about 3 hours a week. Then we put a manager on top of the three, so there is one place to check in and one thing that reports back to you.

Three jobs. Nine hours. One manager running the show. Three weeks to build, and then it just runs.

You do not need to know how any of it works. You do not need to want to know. You only need to know which parts of your week you hate.

The leak

Most businesses do not lose margin on rent or ads. They lose it on the 30 small things that have to happen every week and only happen when a human sits down and does them.

None of it is hard. All of it is required. That is exactly why it is expensive.

It gets done by whoever is closest to it, which is usually the person in the business with the highest hourly value. Or it gets done badly. Or it gets done late. Or you hire a body to absorb it and now you own a salary forever.

If you have ever thought "I know exactly what would grow this business, I just never get to it," this is the reason. It is not discipline. It is arithmetic.

What you get

Three jobs handled. One manager running them. That is the whole thing.

The manager is the part most people underestimate. Without it you own three tools. With it you own one system. You ask it how things are going, you tell it what changed, you tell it when something looks off. It deals with the other three.

This is software, not staff. Nothing to hire, nothing to train, nothing to manage. And it is built for your business specifically, not pulled off a shelf. We look at your week, find the three jobs with the worst hours to value ratio, and build for those.

Want the technical version of what is actually running? It is near the bottom of this page. Everything between here and there is the part that matters to your calendar.

3 weeks, start to done

Week 1. Ideation

We map your week and find the three jobs worth taking over. Not the three that sound impressive. The three eating the most hours for the least return. You get a written scope with the specific hours we are targeting before anything gets built.

Week 2. Build

We build the three, and the manager that runs them. You are not in this week. No tool to learn, no working sessions, no technical decisions to make. We send you one update.

Week 3. Integration

We wire it into your actual operation and run it live alongside your current process. We fix what breaks in real conditions, then hand it over. Handoff is a 30 minute call, not a course.

21 days from kickoff. Not a discovery phase that turns into a quarter.

Price

$9,000   one time, paid up front
$0       every month after that

No retainer. No seats. No per user pricing. No monthly platform fee to us. $1,000 for every hour a week you get back, once, and then it is yours.

If one of the three is not holding its hours by the end of week 3, we keep working on it until it does. That is included, not an upsell, and it is not a separate invoice.

Honest note: there is a small running cost once it is live, usually $20 to $150 a month depending on how much work goes through it. That is billed to your own account, not through us, and you can see every dollar of it. The technical section at the bottom explains exactly what it is.

Compared to hiring a person

9 hours a week is 468 hours a year. Here is what those hours cost when a human does them, against a one time build.

Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 5
Part time admin at $25/hr$11,700$23,400$35,100$58,500
Same, fully loaded at $32/hr$14,976$29,952$44,928$74,880
This build, one time$9,000$9,000$9,000$9,000

Against a fully loaded part time hire, this pays for itself in about 7 months. Against a $25 an hour hire, a little over 9 months. Everything after that is money you stop spending, every year, forever.

That is the version of the math where you get to hire someone for exactly 9 hours a week. In practice you cannot. You hire a person, and you pay for the whole person. You also pay for the parts of hiring that never show up on the invoice.

This does not ramp, does not leave, does not need a one on one, and does the job the same way at 2am on a holiday as it does on a Tuesday. That is not a knock on people. It is an argument about where you put people. Nobody good wants to spend their week on the list at the top of this page.

Compared to what your time is worth

If you are the one absorbing these jobs, the comparison is not a salary. It is your own rate. Find your row.

$2,500$22,500$97,500$1,170,0002 days

Payback is rounded up, so the real number is a little better than the one printed. Every week after that column is profit, and the build does not charge you again in year two.

Not sure what your hour is worth? Take what the business cleared last year and divide it by the hours you actually worked. Most owners are surprised, and not in a good way, because a large share of those hours went to the list at the top of this page.

The higher your rate, the more absurd this gets. At $500 an hour, the nine hours you are currently spending on the list at the top of this page cost you more every month than the entire build does once.

This math only counts if you reinvest the hours. Nine free hours a week that turn into nine hours of email is an expensive way to buy email. Know what you are going to do with them before you start.

Built so you can forget about it

Most automation projects fail because they are too ambitious to survive contact with a real business. We build the opposite.

Sustainable means it still works in month nine when nobody is thinking about it. Accessible means the least technical person on your team can use it without a single instruction. We would rather hand you something small that never breaks than something impressive you quietly stop using in March.

You will never be asked to learn a tool, write instructions for a computer, or have an opinion about AI.

Who this is for

This is not built for a niche. It is built for a specific problem, and that problem does not care what industry you are in.

Owners, operators, practice owners, agency founders, brokers, contractors, professionals with a book of business. If a chunk of your week is repetitive and nobody would miss it, the same build works.

Who this is not for

Being straight about this saves us both a call.

The technical part, if you want it

Everything above is what you get. This is what it actually is, for the people who care. If that is not you, skip to the questions.

That is the entire stack. There is no proprietary platform, no seat license, and nothing you are locked into. Deliberately.

Questions

So what is actually doing the work?

Software that runs one job from start to finish without you sitting there. Three of them, each on its own job, plus a manager that runs the three and reports back to you.

What kinds of jobs work best?

Repetitive, rule based, happens weekly or more, mostly text or data. Sorting, drafting, formatting, summarizing, moving, checking, chasing, reporting.

What if I do not know which three?

That is week one. Most people name one they hate and we find two better ones they never thought about.

What does the manager actually do?

It runs the other three so you do not have to. It knows what each one is doing, passes work between them, flags anything that failed, and answers you in plain English when you ask how things are going.

Do I own it?

Yes. It lives in your accounts. If you never speak to us again it keeps running.

What if one of them does not deliver the 3 hours?

We keep working on it until it does. No second invoice, no change order. The scope we agree to in week 1 is the scope we deliver.

How much of my time does the build take?

A couple of hours in week 1, one update in week 2, a 30 minute handoff in week 3.

Can we do more than three?

Later. Three is the number that reliably ships in three weeks and actually gets adopted. Once the first three are running and you have seen the hours come back, we can talk about the next set.

Is my data safe?

It all runs in your accounts on your tools. We scope what each one can see and touch, and we write it down before we build.

The pitch, one more time

Three jobs handled. Three hours back on each. One manager running the show and reporting to you. Nine hours a week, forever, for $9,000 one time and three weeks of low effort on your end.

You are already paying for those 9 hours. Right now you pay in margin, or in salary, or in the growth you never get to. The only question is whether you would rather pay once.
