The honest answers

No. That's the entire point. You tell me the task that's eating your time, in plain language, and I handle the technical side. You'll understand exactly what your system does — you just won't have to build or maintain it.

No — and that's deliberate. It's a founder-led studio. When you hire me, you work directly with the person designing and building your system, not a sales rep who hands you off to a junior team. Fewer clients, more attention, straight answers.

It depends on the problem — I won't pretend otherwise. Most engagements are a one-time build fee plus a small monthly retainer to keep the system tuned and running. You'll always have a clear, fixed price before any work starts. No surprise invoices.

Yes. I use established, reputable tools, connect only to what a system genuinely needs, and never share your data. Anything sensitive is handled with access you control and can revoke. If a project has specific compliance needs, I scope that up front.

Systems need tending — that's what the retainer covers. I monitor what I build, fix issues quickly, and adjust as your business changes. You're never left staring at something broken wondering who to call.

A focused first system is usually days to a couple of weeks, not months. I deliberately start small — one bottleneck, solved well — so you see value fast, then I expand only where it's worth it.

Almost always. I build around the tools you already rely on rather than forcing you to switch. The goal is to make your current setup work better, not to hand you another thing to learn.
