Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Enterprise AI Readiness & Workflow Audit ($1,950) work?
We conduct an exhaustive operational diagnostic across your tools, databases, and manual employee workflows. We guarantee identifying at least 15 hours/week of manual waste. If you initiate a custom automation build within 30 days, 100% of your $1,950 audit fee is credited dollar-for-dollar toward implementation.
How are business process automation projects priced?
We offer fixed-bid milestone pricing starting at $4,500 for core speed-to-lead and intake workflows, $6,800 for multi-system suites, and $9,500+ for full autonomous AI agent systems. Every proposal details exact deliverables, timeline, and inclusion guarantees with zero scope drift.
What platforms can you connect with automated Python workflows?
We build custom Python webhooks and API middleware to connect CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce), accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Stripe), databases (PostgreSQL, Supabase), Slack, email servers, and custom Web APIs.
What happens after the automation build is deployed?
Every project includes 30 to 60 days of complimentary post-launch support and monitoring. Optional low-cost maintenance retainers ($497–$1,250/mo) ensure ongoing API updates, SLA monitoring, and error handling.
