What it costs, before you ask.

These are the shapes the work usually takes, and the ceilings for a standard scope. Most people pick the middle option, and every row links to a page that says where the job ends.

Keeping it running · optional

Included in every build: Deployed to infrastructure you own · logging and alerting that reaches a human · a one-page runbook · the source in a repo you control · thirty days of fixes at no charge.

Not every job fits a fixed product, and most do not. If what you need is not on this list, describe it and I will price that instead — the work is the service, not the software.

What I fix

Three jobs people still do by hand every week.

Not a no-code workflow that breaks the day someone moves a menu — real code on a server you own, with logs, alerts and a runbook.

Paperworkfrom $2,200

Typing invoices into a spreadsheet.

Only the one it is unsure about reaches a person.

Today a person retypes every line of an invoice, about six hours a week. After: the page is read at once, every field lands in a table, and only the one field the software is unsure about is passed to a person — about four minutes.
Today
Someone spends about six hours a week retyping invoices, intake forms and statements.
After
Four minutes. A person only checks the handful the software was not sure about.
Doc & Inbox Agent →This is my problem →
Reliabilityfrom $300

The weekly report that stopped sending.

Now a check catches it the same day, every day.

A weekly report runs, then stops for four weeks with no alarm, and a customer asks before you notice. After: a check catches the failure the same day and it runs again.
Today
It broke quietly months ago. Nobody noticed until a customer asked where their numbers were.
After
It arrives on time, and if it ever fails again I hear about it before you do.

Contentfrom $3,200

Posting on a schedule, without hiring for it.

Your week fills itself in, on the days you chose.

Today one person researches, writes, records and uploads every week. After: the chain runs itself and the week's posting days fill in on their own.
Today
Someone has to research, write, record, edit and upload every week — or it simply does not happen.
After
It runs on its own. Mine has published 162 videos since May without me touching it.

Questions

The things people ask before they commit.

Who owns what you build?

You do, completely. The code goes in a repository you control, on infrastructure in your name, and you own the copyright to the work. There is no licence to keep paying and nothing to renew.

What if it breaks after you hand it over?

Thirty days of fixes are included at no charge. After that you can either fix it yourself — the runbook and the source are yours — or put it on Watch at $450 a month and I keep it alive. Plenty of people take neither, and their systems keep running.

What if you disappear?

You are not locked in and that is deliberate. Everything runs on your server, the code is in your repository, and the runbook explains how to start, stop and restart it in one page. Any competent developer can pick it up. That is the whole point of not renting it back to you.

Why not just use Zapier, Make or n8n?

For something small and stable, use them — genuinely. They fall down when the volume grows, when the cost per run adds up, when you need a step they do not have, or when a vendor changes a screen and the whole flow quietly stops. What I build is real code you own, with logging and alerts, so a failure reaches a person.

What does it cost to run once it is built?

Usually a small server, around $6 to $15 a month, paid by you directly to the provider. If the build calls a paid model or API, that cost is yours too and I will estimate it before we start. None of that money comes to me.

How does payment work?

Half up front, half when it is live and handed over. Fixed price. If the build takes longer than I estimated, that is my problem, not your invoice.

Can my data stay on my own hardware?

Yes. Several of these can run entirely on a machine you control with no external API calls, for work that cannot legally leave your building. It costs more because it is more work, and the price is on the service page.

How quickly do you reply?

The same day, usually within a few hours. If a job is not a good fit for me I will say so in that first reply rather than waste your week.
