Local-first · Approval-gated · Documented handoff

SERVICES

Scoped work. Written boundaries. Documented handoffs.

Three kinds of engagement, each starting with a fit check and ending with a handoff you can read. No mandatory retainers, no black boxes shipped.

SVC—01

AI strategy consulting

Scoped engagements · Fit check first

Scoped advisory engagements for people who run things: which tools are worth adopting, which workflows are worth automating, and what to ignore. You leave with a plan you can execute — with or without me.

  • —Workflow and tooling audit grounded in how you actually operate
  • —Concrete recommendations: what to adopt, what to skip, what to wait on
  • —A written plan with priorities, costs, and ownership boundaries
  • —No mandatory retainer — every engagement is scoped and ends with a handoff

SVC—02

Local AI agent setup

$999 · Mac mini purchased by you

I configure a customer-owned Mac mini as a private AI command center: a working local agent, your first practical workflows, and hands-on training so you can run it yourself. Your hardware, your accounts, your data.

  • —Roughly three hours of setup and hands-on training, on-site or remote as scoped
  • —Documented configuration with clear recovery paths
  • —First practical workflows tailored to how you work
  • —7 days of initial support tied to the setup itself

SETUP PRICING

$999

≈ 3 hours of setup + training

✓Private local AI agent, configured on your machine

✓First practical workflows, built with you during the session

✓Hands-on training — you drive, I navigate

✓Documented setup with recovery paths

✓7 days of initial post-setup support

Hardware: Mac mini purchased by the customer. Hardware cost and third-party app/model subscriptions are separate unless explicitly bundled. You buy the Mac mini; you own it outright from day one.

SVC—03

Automation & systems work

Fit check first · Documented handoff

Selective help with workflow automation, product systems, and small business tech modernization. Anything a system produces can be inspected before it acts — human approval gates stay wherever output leaves the building.

  • —Workflows mapped and written down before they are automated
  • —Draft-and-approve pipelines — no unmanaged publishing, no autopilot
  • —Runbooks and handoffs written so the system survives its builder
  • —Boundaries settled in writing before work begins

ENGAGEMENT SHAPES

Choose the right shape for the work

Fixed setup projects

A scoped install or build with a defined deliverable, documented handoff, and a 7-day support window tied to the setup itself.

Advisory work

Scoped conversations on systems, workflow design, and tooling decisions — useful when the build is yours but the judgment calls are shared.

Maintenance retainers

Optional, bounded monthly scopes: small fixes, periodic review, documentation updates, and workflow tuning. Never an unlimited support promise.

BOUNDARIES

What this isn’t

Not unlimited managed IT

Support retainers do not include guaranteed uptime, emergency response, cybersecurity monitoring, or hardware repair unless separately agreed in writing.

Not full autopilot

External actions, publishing, account changes, and business decisions stay approval-gated unless separately designed and approved.

Not a privacy guarantee

Customer-owned local hardware improves ownership and control, but connected models, email, apps, and integrations may still have third-party policies.

Not a black box

If a system cannot be explained, documented, and reviewed, it does not ship. AI output requires review before it is relied on.

Not sure which shape fits?

That’s what the fit check is for.
