The half day

Five hours. Report included.

I watch, you talk, and we find where your information lives. You leave with a plan you can build from, with or without me.

Observe

Watch the work happen

Where people wait, retype, ask twice or work around the system. I spend time there on a working day and watch how the work really gets done, not only how it’s described.

Brain dump

You talk, I guide

The judgment calls, the exceptions, the “it depends.” You talk and I guide with questions. It’s recorded, so nothing gets lost.

Systems

Look at what you already use

Your point of sale, bookings, payroll, spreadsheets. For each one we look at what it holds and what it can share.

Data

Find a way out

Some apps lock your information in. We look for the way out, so the data can live somewhere you control.

Write-up

Your report and proposal

I write up what we found and what to build next, so a developer or an AI model can build from it. That time is part of the five hours, not extra.

What you leave with

Yours to keep, whether or not we work together again.

Your process, in two languages

How you described it, side by side with the same flow in standard terms.

A data map

Every system you use, what it holds, and how to get the information out.

A proposal

Defined projects with costs, written so a developer or an AI model can build from them.

Is this right for you?

A good fit, and not.

A good fit

You own or lead a family or small business, and you want to steer this yourself. Your know-how lives in your head and your data lives in several places. You’re willing to say how you think, out loud.

Not the right fit

You already have an IT team. They should lead this, not me. I can sit down with your leadership and your IT team and help the discussion along, but how to build it is their call. Larger companies are usually well down this road already.
