Hourly work for when you are not ready to commission a build — or when you need a second opinion on one.

Three things people use this for:

An audit. You have manual processes and you want to know which of them is actually worth automating, what each would cost, and in what order to do them. I look at how your operation really runs and give you a written answer, including the processes you should leave alone.

A review. Someone built you an automation or an AI agent and you do not know whether it is sound. I read it and tell you what will break, what is missing, and whether it is cheaper to fix or rebuild.

Ongoing support. You have systems running and you need someone on hand to adjust and extend them.

What you get is a straight answer, including when the answer is "do not automate this yet". I would rather lose a build than sell you one that does not pay for itself.

Minimum engagement is $1,000. Below that, a fixed-price service is a better fit for you than hourly work — the four fixed-price services on my profile cover most of what people need.
