Questions owners ask
Can I trust it?
Fair question. Here are straight answers.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You need to know your business, and you already do. I help you say it in a way a developer, or an AI, can build from. I do the translating between how you talk about your business and how a developer or an AI needs to hear it.
Is it reliable?
We start with one process, not the whole business. Each piece is tested against your bad day before anyone depends on it. At first the AI only reads. Then it drafts. It changes things only with a person’s okay. Nothing is perfect, and I won’t promise it is. The steps are built so a mistake shows up in a draft, where it costs you a minute, before it reaches a customer or your books.
Can it be hacked?
Anything online can be attacked. I lower the risk: each tool gets only the access it needs, sign-ins are locked down, and your data stays on computers I control in the U.S.
Who owns what we build?
You do. You get the code, and the half-day plan is yours to keep.
What happens to what I tell you?
It’s confidential, and you get a copy. If we don’t work together, your form answers are anonymized and help me serve the next owner better.
Will AI replace my staff?
That’s not the goal. You hired people to do the work, not to memorize and retype. The systems carry the memory so your people can do the job you hired them for. The copying goes to the software. The actual work stays with your staff.
What does it cost?
The form and a 15-minute call are free. The half day is five hours for $2,000, including your report and proposal. Anything built after that gets a clear estimate first, and if you sign for a build within 30 days, $1,000 of the half day goes toward it.
Who keeps it running after you’re done?
You do. Every build ends with a handoff plan: what you have, how it fits together, and what to check. Then you pick how to keep it up: hire a freelance web developer or DevOps person, or get set up so an AI assistant does almost everything, with you approving changes.
Who is this for, and who is it not for?
It is for owners and leaders of family and small businesses who want to steer this themselves. If you already have an IT team, they should lead, and I’m not the one to tell you how to build it. I can sit down with your leadership and your IT team and help facilitate the conversation.
Can I hand this to an employee?
You can hand off the doing. It works less well to hand off the vision. Someone with a limited role only has what you tell them, not your background, so the best results come when the person who sees the big picture leads.
Where do you work?
In person, wherever you are. I’m based near Denver, Colorado, and I travel to you.
Do you charge for travel?
Not within about half an hour of my home. Beyond that, I bill travel at cost, with no markup, and I give you an estimate before you commit. If I fly out for a day, that means the flight, ground transport and meals, at standard rates.
