Automation Sprint

Your first AI workflow. Built in 1-2 weeks.

One AI-powered automation, scoped and built end to end. Fixed price, fixed timeline, no surprises. You get a working workflow -- not a proposal.

The problem

You're doing it all by hand.

4+ hrs

per week on manual reporting. Copying data between tools, formatting spreadsheets, pasting into Slack. Every single week.

$180K

per year for a data engineer you might not need yet. That's a lot of runway to burn on someone who builds dashboards you'll outgrow.

0

AI workflows running in your business. Not because they wouldn't help -- because nobody's built one yet.

What you get

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Working automation

A production-ready AI workflow deployed in your environment. Not a prototype, not a demo -- a real automation that runs without you touching it.

Full documentation

Architecture diagram, data flow documentation, and configuration guide. Your team (or future hire) can understand and maintain it.

Handoff runbook

Step-by-step operations manual. How to monitor it, how to fix common issues, how to extend it. Written for non-engineers.

2 weeks of support

Post-delivery support included. If something breaks, I fix it. If you need a tweak, I make it. No extra charge for the first 2 weeks.

Examples

What founders automate first

01

Lead Scoring Pipeline

AI scores every inbound lead against your ICP. Hot leads get routed to your calendar automatically. Cold leads get nurtured or dropped.

02

Weekly KPI Report

Pull metrics from HubSpot, Stripe, Google Analytics -- wherever your data lives. Generate a formatted report and deliver it to Slack every Monday.

03

CRM Cleanup Bot

Find duplicates, enrich missing fields, standardize formats, and flag stale records. Your CRM stays clean without weekly scrubbing sessions.

04

Document Extraction

Parse invoices, contracts, or application forms. Extract structured data from PDFs and emails into your systems automatically.

05

Sales Handoff Router

Qualify leads from marketing, attach context and scoring, route to the right rep with suggested next steps. No more leads falling through cracks.

06

Anomaly Alert System

Monitor your key metrics and get alerted in Slack when something looks off -- revenue drop, churn spike, traffic anomaly. Before you notice it yourself.

FAQ

Common questions

For most startups under 100 people, you don't need a full-time data engineer. An Automation Sprint gives you a production-ready workflow without the $180K/yr salary commitment. If your needs grow, I can scope a longer engagement or help you hire the right person.

I work with whatever you already use -- HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, Airtable, Snowflake, BigQuery, and more. For AI components, I use OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models depending on the use case and your budget.

You get a working automation, full documentation, a handoff runbook, and 2 weeks of support included. After that, your team can maintain it independently. If you need ongoing support or want to build more workflows, we can discuss a retainer.

Almost certainly yes. Weekly reporting automations are one of the most common Sprint deliverables. I pull data from your tools, generate a formatted report, and deliver it to Slack or email on schedule.

Freelancers charge hourly and the scope tends to drift. I charge a fixed price for a defined outcome. You know exactly what you're getting, what it costs, and when it ships. I also specialize in AI/analytics workflows -- this is all I do.
