Practical AI automation

Straightforward AI consultancy for businesses that want to automate their own pipelines.

I help teams ship real automations (documents, email intake, ERP workflows, reporting) without six-figure vendor engagements. Clear scope, fast prototypes, clean handoff.
Recent example: Invoice processing system — 3 weeks, $12k total, client deployed themselves.

Not sure what's possible?

Most companies don't know what's a weekend project vs a 6-month build vs "just buy a SaaS tool." That's the gap I fill — showing you which is which with working proof.

  • This invoice thing? 40 hours with Claude API. Here's the prototype.
  • This other workflow? That's actually complex. Use [vendor], here's why.
  • You're about to spend $200k on this? Here's the $2k version that does 80%.

I help you figure out what you can actually do yourself — the opposite of typical consultants who want dependency.

Discovery Sprint

Turn "we should automate this" into a concrete plan with clear build vs buy recommendations.

  • Process map of current workflow
  • Data quality assessment
  • Build vs buy recommendation with cost projections
  • Implementation roadmap

Proof-of-Concept Build

Working prototypes on your real data to prove feasibility before full commitment.

  • Prototype tested on your actual data
  • Architecture decision document
  • Implementation guide for your team
  • Cost breakdown (dev + operational)

Document Pipeline Implementation

Production-ready document extraction: PDFs to structured data with validation and error handling.

  • Invoice/remittance/contract parsing
  • Line-item extraction with validation
  • Exception routing & review workflows
  • Integration with your existing systems

How it works

You'll always know what we're building, why it matters, and what it costs. No black boxes. No "AI magic" decks.

  • Step 1: 30-minute intro call → define the outcome
  • Step 2: quick discovery → confirm data + constraints
  • Step 3: prototype → prove it works on your real samples
  • Step 4: harden + handoff → docs, tests, monitoring

Good fit if…

You want automation you can own internally — not a forever-retainer.

  • You have repetitive manual work (finance ops, docs, data entry)
  • You're not sure if you need a vendor or can DIY
  • You can provide a handful of real examples to start
  • You want a practical path with measurable outcomes
