Why this process instead of typical consulting?
The difference shows up on day one.
Typical consulting
2weekAI fixed-bid process
Typical consultingTime-and-materials billing — the bill can grow with no clear ceiling.
2weekAIFixed price, in writing, before any build begins.
Typical consultingShallow discovery — decisions get made on assumptions, not your real workflow.
2weekAIDeep discovery is the first gate — we map reality before we price anything.
Typical consultingOften selling you a product or subscription you may not need.
2weekAIWe ship working tools you own. No lock-in, no ongoing fees.
Typical consultingLittle or no cost-benefit math before the work starts.
2weekAIOne payment. The hours you get back keep coming, month after month.
Typical consultingYou stay dependent on them long after the invoice.
2weekAIFull documentation and training so your team runs it without us.
