CloseLab · AI Automation Sprints Veteran-Owned

One Working AI System · 7 Days · Fixed Price

Who on your team spends an hour a day on work that follows the same steps every time?

If you can name the person and the task, you have an automation project — probably a $4,000 project disguised as "just how we do things." I build it on your accounts, test it against your real data, and hand you the keys. Live in 7 business days.

FIXED SCOPE · YOUR ACCOUNTS · YOU OWN EVERYTHING AT HANDOFF

The 60-Second Check

Find out if you have a project — before you talk to anyone.

Three questions. Same triage I run on the first call. Honest verdict, including "not yet."

Automation Check Q1 / 3

Does someone on your team spend an hour or more a day on repetitive, same-steps work?

✓ Pass — Real Project

You have an automation project.

Repetitive, documentable, deterministic. This is exactly what a 7-day sprint builds — and it's usually cheaper than the hours it's burning.

⚠ Map First

You have a process problem, not an automation problem.

If the steps can't be written down, automating them just automates the mess. The fix is a short process-mapping session first — a cheaper conversation, and I'll tell you exactly that on the call.

◉ Human in the Loop

Part of this needs a person. That's by design.

Where tone or judgment matters, I build drafting systems — the machine prepares, you approve and send. The repetitive backbone still gets automated. Nothing talks to your customers on its own.

— Not Yet

No project today. That's a fine answer.

Bookmark this page for the week the repetitive work shows up — or send it to an owner who's already drowning in it.


The Sprint

Seven business days, start to keys-in-hand.

DAY 01Scoping call. We map the process and write the steps down. If they can't be written down, we stop and fix that first.
DAY 02–05Build. On your accounts — n8n or Make for the workflow, Claude only where language work genuinely earns its keep.
DAY 06Testing. Against your real data. Failure modes checked deliberately — not discovered by your customers.
DAY 07Handoff. Training, documentation, credentials in your hands. You own it outright.

Build These First

The two systems that earn their keep fastest.

System / 01

Speed-to-Lead Follow-Up

Most teams respond to new leads in hours. Deals cool in minutes. This fires within minutes of every inquiry — acknowledgment sent, lead logged, routed to the right person, follow-up task created. Nothing improvised. The same correct steps, every time.

RUN COST: TYPICALLY < $200/MO · BUILT TO PAY FOR ITSELF WITH THE FIRST SAVED DEAL

System / 02

The Morning Ops Report

Pipeline, payments, open items, inbox flags — compiled into one clean brief waiting for you every morning. This is the report that eats 5–8 hours a week when a human assembles it by hand. Now nobody does.

INPUTS: CRM · PAYMENTS · EMAIL · TASKS → ONE DAILY BRIEF

What I Won't Build

No robots talking to your customers.

The market is full of dead six-week experiments: autonomous agents that told customers things that weren't true, because someone gave judgment work to a machine. When tone matters more than accuracy, one wrong word costs trust — and trust is expensive to rebuild.

I build automations: fixed steps, deterministic behavior, the same right answer every time. Where drafting is involved, a human approves before anything ships. That's not a limitation — that's the design.

Ownership

You hold the keys. Not me.

Everything runs on your accounts. Your data never touches my infrastructure. When the sprint ends you hold the credentials, the documentation, and a system that costs roughly $50–$500/month to operate — not a dependency on me. The retainer exists if you want it, not because you're trapped.

Pricing

Fixed price, agreed before the build starts.

Founding rateFirst 3 clients only $2,500 flat
Standard sprintBy system count & integrations $4,500–6,000
Maintenance (optional)Monitoring · fixes · one improvement/mo $500/mo

NO HOURLY METER. SCOPE CHANGES = NEW FIXED QUOTE.

Next Step

A 20-minute process audit. Bring your answer to the question at the top.

If there's a real project, you leave the call with a fixed price and a start date. If there isn't, I'll tell you that too — it costs you nothing but the 20 minutes.

Veteran-owned. Run by a career systems engineer with two decades designing, testing, and hardening complex systems in defense and enterprise environments — work where "mostly works" is a failure condition. I build things that have to work, then I hand you the keys.
