    From a familiar problem to a useful first step

    The copying. The chasing. The things only you know.

    Start with a real job: an order entered twice, a quote waiting on somebody’s notes, or a customer enquiry that never gets followed up. Here’s how we’ll work through it.

    1. About 2 hours · at your business

      Show me how the work happens.

      I’ll visit your office or workplace, talk with the people doing the work and follow the paperwork, systems and handoffs that keep slowing things down.

    2. About 2 hours · preparing your report

      Three practical options. Written down.

      You get a plain-English process map and three prioritised improvements, with DIY steps, dependencies, effort and estimated benefits with their assumptions. We also identify what can wait.

    3. About 1 hour · walking through it together

      Understand the choices. Pick your first step.

      I’ll come back and explain the report, answer questions and help you choose a small first project. You can keep using the plan yourself.

    4. 5 hours · implementation

      Let’s get one improvement underway.

      We agree what fits into five hours, then work on your chosen project. Testing, documentation and handover are part of that time. You see what was completed and what, if anything, remains.

    People first. Practical work.

    Your plan. Your files. Your next move.

    Keep the report and the custom work we create for your project. Use it with your team, bring another developer in, or ask us to help with the next step. Further work is your choice.

    One conversation to start

    Tell me where the work gets stuck.

    I’ll get back to you for a short fit check. We’ll confirm your town, the people involved and a sensible first scope before arranging the visit or taking payment.

    The $599 includes the review, report, walkthrough and five implementation hours. Software subscriptions, hosting and any extra travel are discussed separately before you commit.

    Please use a general description here. Customer records and passwords can wait.

    Let’s see if it fits.

    Before we get started.

    What is included in the $599?

    The introductory package includes an approximately two-hour on-site review, report preparation, an approximately one-hour report walkthrough, and five implementation hours including testing, documentation and handover. The free guide and editable toolkit are available below. We confirm your location, dates and agreed scope before payment.

    Will five hours finish my whole project?

    We choose a small, useful scope together. Five hours might cover a form, a simple follow-up workflow or a prototype. A full integration or larger rebuild may need more work. We explain the intended deliverable first and ask before doing anything beyond the included hours.

    What do I get to keep?

    You keep your report, process documents and the custom code and project files we create for your work, with a practical handover. You can continue yourself, with us or with another developer. Third-party software and open-source components keep their own licence terms; subscriptions and hosting are separate and agreed before use.

    Do I need to be in Salem, Oregon?

    This on-site offer is for businesses in Salem and the Willamette Valley. Tell us your town first so we can confirm travel arrangements and whether the package fits. Any extra travel cost is agreed before you pay. If you are farther away, ask about a remote option.

    Do I have to use AI or buy ongoing support?

    No. We start with the work. Sometimes the useful improvement is a clearer process or better use of software you already have. There is no requirement to buy a larger project or ongoing support. Any further work or software cost is agreed separately.
