One Workflow Built · Step 02 of five

One workflow, running without you.

This is the workflow from your Strategy Session plan, built and running inside the tools your team already has. It works on your real documents, it lives in your own Google or Microsoft account, and it keeps working after I leave.

Five business days. $1,500, and the $250 you already paid for the session comes off that. Work first. Then the AI.

You priced this work at a year.

The build costs $1,500 once. Nothing about that number changes until the work itself changes.

Where this starts

This builds a plan you already have.

I don't start builds from a blank page. The point of the hour before this one is that by the time anyone writes code, the decision about what to build has already been made and priced.

If you've had the session

You already have the plan.

The written implementation plan from your AI Strategy Session lists what to change and in what order. This build is the first item on that list, executed. Nothing gets rescoped, and your $250 comes off the price.

If you haven't

Start with the hour.

Sixty minutes on how the work actually gets done, and a written plan within 24 hours. It costs $250, and that $250 credits against this build, so if you go ahead the plan cost you nothing.

The word that gets abused

Three things get called a build. Only one of them runs on Monday.

This matters because the first two are much easier to sell and much easier to deliver, and they are what most of this budget currently buys.

Where most engagements stop

A recommendation

"Here's the tool you should buy."

A vendor shortlist, a maturity score, a slide with a roadmap on it. Useful as thinking. Nothing is running when it's over, and the work still gets done the old way on Monday.

Where pilots stop

A demo

"Watch what it can do."

Works once, on clean sample data, in an account somebody else controls. It survives the meeting and not the month, because the first real document breaks it and nobody owns fixing it.

This

One workflow built

"It ran this morning."

Runs on your real documents, in your own account, on a schedule, with a person reviewing the output where a person should. Your team has used it before I hand it over.

The test isn't whether it demos well. The test is whether it is still running six weeks later without me in the room.

The five days

What actually happens, day by day.

Published for the same reason the session agenda is published. If you can see exactly what the week contains, you can decide whether it's worth $1,500 without a sales call.

Day 1

Your real inputs, not samples

I take the plan and the actual documents, emails or forms the work runs on. Including the badly formatted ones, the exceptions and the one nobody can explain. Those are the cases that decide whether this survives.

Day 2

First working version

It runs end to end on your data, and it gets things wrong. You see it the same day. Nothing here is a mockup, so there's no gap between what you're shown and what exists.

Day 3

You try to break it

Your person feeds it the hard cases. We find where it fails and I change how those are handled. This is the day that determines whether you keep using it, which is why it's in the middle and not at the end.

Day 4

Guardrails and the human step

What it does on its own, what waits for a person to approve, and what it is not allowed to touch. Written down, in your words, so the rule survives the person who agreed to it.

Day 5

Handover

It runs in your account. Your team has seen it work. You get one page describing what it does, where it lives, what it costs to run, and how to change it. No dependency on me.

After

Two weeks of fixes included

If it breaks on a case we didn't see during the week, I fix it. That's not a support contract, it's the honest admission that five days does not surface everything.

Book the build.

$1,500, five business days. Your $250 session comes off the price.

What the week needs from you

Four things, and one of them is a person.

The builds that go badly go badly for the same reason every time. Nobody on the inside had time to answer questions, so it got built against an assumption instead of the work.

What I need

  • The written plan from your Strategy Session, or one hour to produce the equivalent
  • Six to ten real examples of the input, including the messy ones and at least one exception
  • One person who knows the work and has about thirty minutes a day for five days
  • Access to the account this will live in, at the permission level the workflow actually needs and no more

Why it lives in your account.

The workflow runs in your own Google or Microsoft tenant, not mine. That means no new subscription to add, no client data moving into a tool you don't control, and nothing to migrate if you stop working with me. If I disappear, it keeps running. That is the whole point of building it this way.

When this is the wrong purchase

One workflow fixes one seam.

If the work crosses three departments and four systems, this will help one handoff and leave the rest.

That is still worth $1,500 if the handoff is expensive enough. But it is not the same thing as fixing the process, and I would rather say that here than have you find out in week two.

When that's the situation, the honest sequence is the Workflow Audit first: map how the work and the data actually move end to end, then build in the order the map says. If I can see on day one that you're in this case, I will tell you and credit what you've paid rather than deliver a build that can't land.

Where this sits

Five offers. This is the second one.

They run in price order and in dependency order, and that isn't a coincidence. Each one produces the input the next one needs. You can stop after any of them and still be better off than when you started.

Book the build.

$1,500, five business days, and your $250 session comes off the price. If you haven't had the session yet, start there instead. It's the cheaper way to find out whether this is the right thing to build.
