What it costs
No packages, no tiers,
no upsell later.
Three numbers. The audit that pays for itself in a report, the one-time install, and a monthly plan that costs less than a part-time admin and never calls in sick. The software underneath is in your name, at cost. I'm not reselling you a license.
Step one
$1,500
The Toil Audit
Ninety minutes at your shop plus a written report with a dollar figure attached to every recurring task, and the three workflows I'd install first. Credited in full against the install if you go ahead. Yours to keep if you don't.
Step two
$6,500
The install
Five workflows built to your business, one dedicated folder, a written SOP binder, two training sessions, and sixty days of me running it for you. One time. Founding shops pay $3,250.
After that
$950/mo
The Care Plan
Weekly runs, the monthly numbers report, one new workflow each quarter, and me on the other end of the phone. Month to month. Cancel any time and keep everything. Founding shops stay locked at $650.
The software underneath
The software runs $20 to $100 a month on a Claude plan, in your name, on your card. I'm not reselling it to you at a markup and I'm not hiding it. You're paying me for the setup and for running it — not for a license you can't see.
Against the alternative
A part-time office admin runs about $3,200 a month once you count payroll tax, workers' comp and the seat, takes ninety days to learn your pricing, and then leaves with it all in her head. $950 is under a third of that, written down once, running every night.
Founding crew — five shops
I need five sets of real numbers. You need a discount. Let's trade.
This is a new offer and I don't have ten glossy case studies yet. What I have is forty-five years of building systems and a clear picture of where your money is leaking. So the first five installs go out at half price, and the Care Plan rate stays locked for as long as you keep it.
In return: your actual numbers at day 90, your shop's name, and twenty minutes on video. If the numbers are bad, I'd rather know than sell it to a sixth shop.
FOUNDING TERMS
5 founding spots.
Take a founding spotThe two-job guarantee
If it doesn't recover two jobs in ninety days, you don't eat the cost.
Two signed jobs you'd otherwise have lost. If the follow-up system doesn't get there by day 90, either I keep working free until it does, or I refund the install and you keep the SOPs and the folder. Your call, not mine.
No contractThe Care Plan is month to month. Thirty days' notice, no penalty, no clawback.
You own itThe folder, the templates and the written SOPs are yours. If we part ways, I hand you the files.
Your data stays putEverything runs out of one dedicated folder we set up together. It never gets access to your whole drive.
