Report Robot

The report someone assembles by hand arrives in the right inboxes on schedule — and tells me if it ever fails to.

$1,200

What lands in the inbox on Monday

Assembled from your sources on a schedule and sent to the people who need it. The part you do not see is the other half of the build: the morning it fails to send, an alert reaches me before you notice it is missing.

What you get

  • Scheduled, automated reports
  • PDF or dashboard delivery
  • Failure alerting built in

Included in every build

  • Deployed to infrastructure you own, not a platform you rent from me
  • Structured logging and alerting, so a failure reaches a human
  • A one-page runbook: how it runs, how to restart it, what to check first
  • The source, in a repository you control
  • Thirty days of fixes after handover at no charge

How it works

You tell me what is costing you time — in hours a week, or in someone's salary. I price against that, not against my hours. The price above is fixed: if the build takes longer than I estimated, that is my problem, not your invoice.

When it is done it goes onto your infrastructure and I hand over the repository, the deploy script and the runbook. You are not renting it back from me, and you are not stuck if you decide to work with someone else later.

Where this one stops

  • One report, up to three data sources, one delivery destination, two rounds of revisions on the layout.
  • Not included: building a data warehouse, or cleaning up historic data before it can be reported on.
  • A separate quote for more than three sources, more than one report, or a full BI dashboard build.
If I cannot deliver it, you get the deposit back

Half up front, half on handover. If I get into it and cannot build what we agreed, I tell you as soon as I know and refund the deposit in full — I would rather return the money than hand over something that does not work. If you stop the project yourself, the deposit covers the work already done and you keep everything finished to that point, including the code.
