What I do — automation

If you’re re-typing it, a machine should be doing it.

I connect the things you already pay for, so the work happens whether or not anyone remembers to do it. No new platform to learn, and nothing that needs babysitting.

Four seconds. Nobody opened the attachment, and nobody typed the total.

A scripted walkthrough with stand-in figures — not a recording of a live run.

What people use it for

Orders and invoices, filed on arrival

Read, checked against what you already have, and in the right place.

Follow-ups that happen without you

Every quote chased on schedule until someone answers.

The Monday morning report

Built overnight and waiting, in the same shape every week.

Two systems that never talked

The bit where somebody re-types it. That bit goes.

What it won’t do

It won't handle the judgement calls. The ones it isn't sure about come to you, and that's the design, not a shortfall — a system with no exception path is one that's guessing quietly.

It won't fix a process nobody agrees on. If two people do the job two different ways, automating it just makes the disagreement faster. Part of the work is settling that first.

It won't pay for itself on something you do twice a year. Frequency beats duration, and if the arithmetic doesn't work I'd rather show you that on the call than build it.

Whether it’s worth it

It’s arithmetic, and it takes about two minutes to do yourself before you talk to anyone: how long the job takes, how often it happens, what an hour of that person costs you, and what it costs to fix. The number people get wrong is frequency — a five minute job done twelve times a day is an hour a day.
