The Problem

You Need AI Outcomes—Not a Menu of Services

Generic dev is cheap now. What you need is measurable outcomes—manual roles replaced, workflows automated, and costs reduced. You want a partner who leads with AI transformation and delivers one thing at a time, with clear scope and a fixed retainer.

Scope Creep
Traditional agencies and freelancers thrive on discovery and custom proposals. You end up in endless calls and still don’t know the final price or delivery date.
Wrong Fit
Enterprise consultants charge five figures for overengineered solutions. Generic dev shops don’t speak business, analytics, or AI. You need a rare hybrid.
No Clear Price
You deserve to know what it costs up front. Productized retainers mean fixed monthly fees, one task at a time, and no surprises.

The Solution

Outcome-Driven AI Transformation

We sell outcomes, not hours. We identify a high-cost manual role or workflow and replace it with an AI system. Dashboards and custom SaaS sit underneath as the implementation layer. Fixed monthly retainer, minimum 3 months, one task at a time. Example: replace a $4,000/month marketing coordinator with a $1,000/month AI system.

One Task at a Time
We focus on a single deliverable per cycle. No scope creep, no surprise hours. When it’s done, we move to the next task.
Builders Who Speak Your Language
We speak tech, business, and AI. Same team for strategy and build—AI transformation outcomes implemented via dashboards, analytics, and custom SaaS—for SME and enterprise.
Modern Stack, Fast Delivery
Next.js, Convex, Tailwind, shadcn, Expo, Turbo. We build with AI and automation ourselves—quality and speed without reinventing the wheel.
You Own Everything
Your data, your code, your systems. We deliver and hand over. No lock-in, no dependency—just a retainer that fits how you work.

Frequently asked questions

What does “one task at a time” mean?

We focus on a single deliverable per cycle—e.g. one dashboard, one analytics pipeline, one feature or integration. When it's done and handed over, we move to the next task. No scope creep, no surprise hours.

What are the retainer tiers?

Starter: $1,000/month, about ~2 hours per day. Part-time: $5,000/month, 5 hours per day. Full-time: negotiable. Minimum 3 months for Starter and Part-time.

What kind of tasks do you build?

AI transformation outcomes first: replacing manual roles and workflows with AI systems. Dashboards, analytics, and custom SaaS are the implementation layer. We also build AI automation, agents, and trading tools or bots. We use Next.js, Convex, Tailwind, shadcn, Expo, and Turbo—and we can advise on the best fit for your use case.

Who is this for?

Business owners in SMEs who need dashboards or custom tools; tech leaders in larger orgs who need a builder who speaks both business and tech; developers who want a starter stack or to partner on delivery. We work with small and large businesses depending on needs.

Do you do discovery or custom quotes?

We keep discovery minimal. We need enough to scope one task and confirm we can deliver it with our stack. No endless workshops or six-figure proposals—just a clear retainer and one task at a time.

What's the minimum commitment?

3 months for Starter and Part-time. Full-time is negotiable. After the minimum, you can continue month-to-month or pause by agreement.

How does the free week work?

For new clients we offer one week of work at no charge. We pick one task together on the call, then we deliver it within a week so you can see how we work and the quality we bring. No obligation to continue—if it's a fit, we move to a retainer; if not, no hard feelings.
