The Spark (3 days, $12,000) and The Foundation (5 days, $22,000) — delivered on-site at your location. I show up, we work shoulder-to-shoulder, and you leave with real AI systems running inside your business. Travel billed at cost. Starts with a $1,200 Discovery Sprint.
Remote work is fine for scoped tasks. It's terrible for building systems inside a business you've never walked through. When I'm on-site, I can see how your team actually works — the shortcuts they take, the handoffs that break, the tools already open on their screens. That context collapse alone cuts weeks off the timeline.
The Spark is a 3-day on-site engagement — map, build, and hand off. The Foundation adds two more days for broader scope and deeper team training. Here's what The Spark looks like from the time I land to the time I leave.
I walk your operation top to bottom: tools, team, workflows, data sources. We identify the 3–5 highest-leverage spots where AI should be running. By end of day we have an agreed build list and a clear priority stack.
Heads-down build day. Your team is in the room watching every step — asking questions, making decisions in real time, learning the why behind each piece. We ship the first live system by end of day.
Connect the pieces, run real scenarios, fix edge cases in the room. The day ends with a working system your team can operate and extend — plus a documented runbook so it doesn't die when I leave.
The Foundation adds a second build track — additional workflows, deeper automation of a specific department (ops, sales, customer service, or fulfillment), or expanded team coverage across multiple roles.
A final working session with owners and decision-makers. We review everything built, identify what to expand next, and align the team on how to keep building after I'm gone. Documentation library handed off.
Every engagement includes dedicated async follow-through support built into the base price — The Spark includes 30 days (2 check-in calls), The Foundation includes 60 days (3 check-in calls). Systems that need tuning get tuned. Extended Runway retainer ($3,500/mo) available after the follow-through window closes.
Not whiteboards — working software wired into how your business runs. The mix depends on what your operation needs most.
Automations that connect your tools and remove the manual steps eating your team's time. Built, tested, and running before I leave.
Repetitive back-office tasks — reporting, routing, follow-ups, data entry — handed off to AI systems that run on their own around the clock.
Internal knowledge bases, customer-facing chat, and context-aware assistants trained on your actual data — not generic chatbot templates.
Live visibility into the numbers that matter — built to surface the right data at the right time without someone pulling it by hand every week.
Standard operating procedures converted into living, AI-assisted checklists — your team follows a process, AI fills the gaps and catches the misses.
Every build happens with your people in the room. They don't just inherit a system — they understand it, can fix it, and can extend it themselves after I'm gone.
The intensive format exists for situations where remote work isn't enough — where the complexity of the operation, the size of the team, or the speed of the opportunity demands a human in the building.
The only thing you need to prepare is having the right people in the room. Everything else is on me.
Flight, lodging, and ground transport are quoted into the engagement cost — no surprise invoices for "expenses." One number, all in. I travel anywhere in the country.
I'll tell you exactly who needs to be present each day — owners, ops leads, department heads, or front-line staff. Team size can range from 2 to 20. Larger groups just need slightly more days.
You need a space big enough to work, Wi-Fi, and access to your existing tools. I bring everything else. Pre-work is a 60-minute intake call a week before I arrive — that's it.
Everything I see on-site — your data, your processes, your numbers — stays with me. NDAs are standard on every engagement, signed before I arrive.
Two engagement sizes with fixed fees — no custom quoting surprises. Travel (flight, lodging, ground transport) is billed at actual cost, no markup. Every engagement starts with a $1,200 Discovery Sprint.
Every engagement begins with a paid $1,200 Discovery Sprint — a structured half-day that maps your operations, identifies the highest-leverage opportunities, and produces a clear build plan. If we proceed, the $1,200 applies toward your engagement. If not, you keep the map.
The Spark (3 days, $12,000) is right for focused, single-track situations — one department, one core workflow, a lean team. The Foundation (5 days, $22,000) is for broader operations, multi-department builds, or teams where getting everyone aligned takes more time. The Discovery Sprint maps your situation and tells us which fits before you commit to anything.
There's no minimum. Some of the highest-impact intensives have been with a founder and two key team members. For larger companies, we run sessions in working groups — not everyone needs to be in every session. I'll tell you who to have in the room on each day and why.
Not much. The $1,200 Discovery Sprint (done before I fly out) covers everything I need to understand your operation. On your end: have a workspace with Wi-Fi, login access to your main tools, and the right people available. I do the rest. The less you over-prepare, the more I see the real operation — which is what I need.
Travel (flight, lodging, ground transport) is billed at actual cost — no markup, separate from the engagement fee. You see the costs before I book. The engagement price ($12,000 or $22,000) is fixed; travel is on top at cost. I've traveled coast to coast for engagements and it's never been an issue for either side.
Every engagement includes built-in follow-through support — The Spark includes 30 days (two structured check-in calls), and The Foundation includes 60 days (three structured check-in calls), both with async support throughout. You leave with a documented runbook for everything we built. The goal is that your team can run and extend the systems without needing me back. After the follow-through window, the Extended Runway retainer ($3,500/mo) keeps me in the loop on an ongoing basis — many clients find that's the natural next step.
Remote consulting runs The Spark or Foundation over weeks, mostly async. An intensive is the same engagement delivered in-person and compressed. The main difference: in-person, your team learns by watching and doing — you get the system AND the capability built in real time. Remote hands you the system. Same fixed prices, same offers; the right choice depends on how your team learns and how fast you need to move.
A Discovery Call is where we start — I'll ask about your operations, your team, and your timeline. If it's a fit, we kick off with a $1,200 Discovery Sprint that maps the engagement before you commit to The Spark or Foundation.
