What counts as one automation

Up to 5 hours of build work

One workflow, from trigger to result, in tools you already have or one new tool. Bigger jobs are quoted as an AI Implementation, or split over two months if we both agree.

Fits in a month

  • Invoice reminders in Xero
  • A quote drafted from job notes
  • Enquiry triage into the CRM
  • Reviews drafted for your approval

Doesn’t fit

Why it isn’t hourly

You pay for what ships, not for time spent. If we get faster at building something, you get it sooner, not a smaller bill for us to make up elsewhere.

Who it suits

Businesses with one or two automations already working and a list of next ones. If you just want what you have kept running, maintain only is the cheaper fit.

Questions people ask

What is “one automation”?

Up to 5 hours of build work: one workflow, from trigger to result, in tools you already have or one new tool.

What if a job is bigger than that?

We quote it as an AI Implementation, or split it over two months if we both agree.

Do unused months roll over?

No. Each month’s build is that month’s.

How do I cancel?

Give 30 days’ notice. There’s no lock-in contract.

What happens to the automations if I leave?

You keep them. They’re yours and they run in your accounts.

What’s the difference between the two tiers?

Build + maintain ships something new every month and looks after it all. Maintain only looks after what’s built: upkeep, fixes and tool changes, with no new builds.

Can I start on the retainer without a build first?

Yes. The first month’s build can be your first automation.
