Five ways in, and the one sentence that tells you which is yours

Every one has a scope and a price agreed in writing before any invoice. Start with the written diagnostic if something is broken, with a free consultation or a build if something should stop being manual, and expect to end up on a care plan once it is live.

Quick answer

Which of the five you need turns on whether something already exists. If a system is live and failing, that is a rescue, from $750£600€700 after a diagnostic from $500£400€450. If nothing is built and you cannot yet say what is worth automating, start with the free consultation: 30 minutes on a call, then a written proposal with a fixed price within two business days. If you already know the outcome you want, that is a Build Sprint between $3,000£2,300€2,800 and $25,000£19,500€23,000. Once it is live somebody has to watch it: care runs $1,000£800€900 to $3,000£2,300€2,800 a month, and a fractional engineer $6,000£4,700€5,500 to $12,000£9,400€11,000 when you need one owning the roadmap. Every paid one carries a written scope and a price you see before any invoice.

AI Rescue

1-2 weeks for fixes, 2-4 for rebuilds

Something exists and it is failing, or it never worked the way it was sold to you.

Your AI build broke, stalled, or never worked right. We find the root cause and fix it: dead n8n workflows, hallucinating agents, voice bots that drop calls.

Which service do we need if something is already broken?

The written diagnostic first, from $500. Two business days later you get a document naming the root cause, the evidence, and a fixed price to repair it, and the diagnostic fee comes off that price. If it cannot name a fixable root cause, it is refunded. Most repairs land between $750 and $1,500; a rebuild is quoted separately and only when repairing genuinely costs more than starting again.The written diagnostic first, from £400.

Do we own what you build?

Yes, from day one. Accounts, code, workflows and documentation are all in your name, and we are invited in as a user. That is the difference between hiring an agency and renting one: you can stop working with us on any day and everything keeps running, with anyone you hire next able to log in.

What happens after the system goes live?

Everything we ship carries a 30-day bug warranty: if it breaks in that window we fix it free, and it is never billed as a change request. After that a care plan is optional rather than assumed. What it buys is monitoring that reaches a person, a 24 to 48 hour fix window written into the agreement, one named improvement a month, and a one-page report you can read in three minutes.

When should we not buy any of this?

When the job happens twice a year, because a build costs the same whether the work is weekly or annual and the annual one never pays back. When three people do the same process three different ways: settle that first, or the automation encodes the disagreement in software. And when one obvious workflow is all you need: describe the job in two paragraphs and ask for a fixed quote against it.

Not sure which one you need

Describe what is broken or what should stop being manual. If a cheaper service fits better, we will say so.
