No mystery. No lock-in. Just a clear path forward.
Every engagement starts with a single session. What happens next is up to you - and we'll be honest with you at every stage about whether moving forward makes sense.

90 minutes with Mike
We start with a conversation. Face-to-face if we can. We'll discuss what you told us in the questionnaire, and ask lots of questions. The AI Clarity Session is all about clarifying where the most serious pain-points are in your business, and the day-to-day impact they are having.

Stage 1
AI Clarity Session
$750 AUD (ex GST) · 90 minutes · No obligation
We spend 90 minutes going through how your business actually operates - the workflows, the bottlenecks, the tasks that eat time, the decisions that could be sharper. We ask questions. You talk. We map it.
We'll look at the tools you already use - Google Workspace, Xero, Monday.com, Notion, whatever your operation runs on - and identify exactly where automation and AI can make a real difference.
The guarantee: If we don't find a genuine AI or automation opportunity, you get your $750 back. Full stop.
For example: a professional services firm with 12 staff discovers they're spending 8 hours a week on manual timesheet reconciliation, client onboarding emails, and report formatting — all of it automatable.
What typically happens next
Most clients leave with one or two workflows they want automated immediately. About a third take the plan and implement it themselves. The rest come back to us for an Automation Build - usually within a few weeks.
Stage 2
Automation Build
$3,500–$6,000 (ex GST) · 2–3 weeks · One workflow, start to finish
We pick one workflow from your Clarity Session action plan - the one with the clearest return and the most contained scope - and we build it. Fully. In 2–3 weeks.
No 12-week projects. No ongoing retainer required to see results. You get one thing working, properly, before we talk about what's next.
For example: every time a new client is onboarded, your systems automatically create the project folder, update the CRM, send the welcome email, and notify the right person. No one had to do any of that. It just ran.
What typically happens next
Once the first workflow is running, most clients want to keep going. Some add a second automation. Others start to see where AI judgement - not just rules - would make a real difference. That's when the AI Layer makes sense.
Stage 3
AI Layer
$5,000–$12,000 (ex GST) · 4–6 weeks
Automation handles the process. AI handles the thinking. This stage adds intelligence to what you've already built - systems that can assess, prioritise, flag anomalies, and surface insights.
The difference between a workflow that follows rules and one that applies judgement.
For example: instead of someone reading every inbound enquiry and deciding who to route it to, an AI layer reads it, classifies it, scores the urgency, and routes it — automatically.
What typically happens next
By this point your operation is running differently. Automations are handling the process, AI is handling the judgement calls, and the compounding value is starting to show. The Retainer is how that momentum continues - we stay close to your operation, keep building on what's working, and make sure your systems evolve as your business does.
Stage 4
AI Retainer
$2,500–$4,000/month (ex GST) · Ongoing
Your business changes. Your AI and automation layer should too. On retainer, we stay close to your operation - improving what's there, building what's needed, staying across new tools and capabilities that are relevant to you.
For example: as your business takes on a new service line, we extend your existing automations to cover it — without you having to start from scratch or brief a new supplier.
What typically happens next
A small number of clients reach a point where the right answer is something custom - a purpose-built agent at the core of their operation. That's the Agent Build, and it's by application only.
Stage 5
Agent Build
$12,000–$30,000 (ex GST) · By application only
A custom AI agent designed around a specific, high-value function in your business. This engagement is by application only - because the right fit matters. We'll tell you honestly if you're there yet.
For example: a custom agent that monitors your AgriWebb data, cross-references weather and soil moisture readings, and sends you a plain-language morning briefing on what needs attention today.
