Find the actual problem
Talk through your business and one troublesome part of the job. We check whether the problem is missing information, an unclear handoff, a staffing constraint, or work software could help with.
Working together
A conversation first.
A sensible scope next.
You don’t need to arrive with an AI strategy. Tell us where the work gets stuck, what keeps coming back to you, and what you want to change.
Agree what to do—and what not to do
Define the work, your team’s involvement, the price, and how we’ll check the result before committing. No fixed package gets sold before we understand the situation.
Build around the way you work
Observe real work with permission. Create usable procedures, clear handoffs, and the AI or automation the scope calls for. Test with the people who will use it, including what happens when it fails.
What you should keep
The agreed work should leave you with something useful: a map of the job, instructions the team can follow, clear responsibilities, and any systems we build—along with how to operate and stop them.
When the answer may be “not yet”
If you personally do nearly all the revenue-earning work, software cannot create a second pair of hands. If the work is not repeatable or your team cannot participate, we need to narrow the scope or say no.
Could we work on the whole business?
It remains a proposed longer engagement: map the work, document the systems, introduce bounded automations, then test whether the owner can step away for ten working days.
It has not been completed with a client and is not a guarantee. We would discuss it only if the business, available evidence, and agreed scope make it appropriate—not as the price of starting a conversation.
What does it cost?
Pricing is not set as a public package. Scope, price, access, and the time needed from your team must be agreed before work begins.
Start with a conversation
What keeps landing
back on your desk?
Tell me a little about your business and where the work gets stuck. We can work out whether Spine is a fit—and what a sensible first step looks like.
