AI Build Concierge

You have the idea. We tell you whether to build it — then we build it.

For non-technical founders and operators who need a specific business internal tool, CRM add-on, or data connector — but don't know if AI can build it, what it should cost, or who to trust to build it.

Step 1 — The Build Blueprint

$995 flat · delivered in 7 days

Launch cohort: the first 5 Blueprints are $499 each, in exchange for case-study rights. After those five, the price is $995 flat.

A paid, fixed-scope verdict you can hold any builder to — including us, and including builders who aren't us:

The verdict: build / don't build / build simpler — stated plainly, even when the honest answer is "don't build."
Problem map + workflow audit: what the problem actually costs you, in your own numbers, and how the work flows before and after.
The spec: exactly what v1 includes — and an explicit list of what it does not.
Stack recommendation: the tools we'd use and why, including when the right answer is configuring tools you already pay for instead of writing custom code.
A fixed build quote and timeline — not an hourly estimate that grows.
The risks we'd flag if this were our own money.

Credited in full toward the Managed Build if you proceed with us. If the verdict is "don't build," you've bought the truth for the Blueprint fee instead of learning it at build price.

Start with the intake form

There is no free spec work and no free quote. Deep work starts with a paid Blueprint — that is how the advice stays honest instead of sales-shaped.

What we take on — and what we don't

Business internal tools

The workflow that lives in spreadsheets, inboxes, and one person's head — turned into a tool your team actually uses.

CRM add-ons

The analysis, follow-up, or reporting function your CRM doesn't do — built onto the CRM you already pay for.

Data connectors

Two systems that should talk to each other, connected properly: sync, errors handled, and a record of what moved.

Not games. Not an open marketplace. If your idea is outside these three shapes, the Blueprint will say so — and say who we'd point you to instead.

See a full Blueprint before you spend anything

Read a complete worked sample — a fictional contractor, invented numbers, the real structure, depth, and fixed-price format: the sample Build Blueprint — also approved: CRM add-on sample and data-connector sample. A sample is labelled a sample, here and in the document itself. We show no client work and claim no client results — this service is new, and we would rather show you the actual deliverable than a testimonial.

If you proceed — Step 2: the Managed Build

Managed Build

$3,500–$15,000 fixed for v1, priced in your Blueprint. 50% to start, 50% when the acceptance test in the spec passes. 2 revision rounds included. You own the code and the documentation.

Care Retainer (optional)

$500–$1,500/mo. Monitoring, bug fixes, small improvements, and a monthly check-in. Tool and API costs pass through at cost.

Fixed means fixed: if the build takes longer than the Blueprint's timeline, that is our cost, not yours. Scope changes go through a written change order, priced before any work starts. If you stop a build mid-flight, work to date is invoiced at the milestone reached and everything built is handed over — no hostage code.

How it works

Intake. You answer the intake form — the idea, the business context, how the work happens today, budget band, timeline, and what tools and data the build would touch.
Scored read + honest reply. Every submission gets a scored read and a reply — including "don't build this" or "this is outside what we take on," when that's the truth.
Paid Blueprint, 7 days. Verdict, spec, stack, fixed quote, timeline, risks — yours to keep and to take to any builder.
Your decision. Proceed with us (Blueprint fee credited in full), take the Blueprint elsewhere, or don't build. All three are legitimate endings.
Managed Build. We manage, the build gets built and QA-checked against the pinned spec, and you accept against the acceptance test written in the Blueprint — before the final 50% is due.

Straight answers

Why charge for the first step?

Because free advice in this business is usually a sales pitch. A paid Blueprint can afford to tell you not to build. A free quote can't.

Who owns the idea and the code?

You do. Your idea stays yours (intake is covered before deep work begins), and the Managed Build assigns the code and documentation to you. The contract templates say this in writing — ask to see them before you sign anything.

Will a bot run my project?

Bots do most of the drafting, research, and QA hours here — that's how the prices above are possible. The moments that carry trust or money — the closing call, the contract, the signature — are human moments, with a named person. A faceless process does not close a build, and we don't pretend otherwise.

What if my idea needs regulated data or sits in a regulated industry?

Say so in the intake. Regulated-data ideas get a human read before any routing, and some we will decline — the reply will say why.
