# How it works: How a project works

Five steps from the first call to a system your team runs on. You know what you're paying for before you pay for it.

## 1. A 30-minute call

You walk me through how the work gets done today. I ask a lot of questions, and I tell you honestly whether I can help.

- **What you get:** An honest read on whether software would help, and what I'd look at first.
- **Your part:** 30 minutes on a video call.
- **Cost:** Free.
- **Next:** If it looks like a fit, I ask for your files.

## 2. I learn your process

You send me the spreadsheets, forms and documents your team uses. I map how the work actually flows and find the steps that cost the most time.

- **What you get:** A plain written summary of your process as I understand it, and what I'd build first.
- **Your part:** Share your files and answer my questions, mostly by email.
- **Cost:** Free.
- **Next:** If we're a good fit, the first version.

## 3. A working first version

For businesses that are a good fit and ready to invest, I build a working version of your core process before you pay anything. It's a proof that I understand your business, not the finished product.

- **What you get:** Something you can click through, built around your kind of data.
- **Your part:** A walkthrough call and honest feedback.
- **Cost:** Free.
- **Next:** A written proposal with milestones and prices.

## 4. Build

We agree on fixed-price milestones or a monthly rate. Each week you get an update and a link to try what's new. You sign off each feature when it does what your business needs.

- **What you get:** Working software at every milestone.
- **Your part:** A decision-maker available each week to review and sign off.
- **Cost:** Agreed in writing before the work starts.
- **Next:** Launch.

## 5. Launch and support

I move your existing data across, train your team, and stay on to support the system once it's live.

- **What you get:** A system your team runs on, and someone to call when something needs attention.
- **Your part:** Time for your team to learn it.
- **Cost:** Support terms are part of the agreement.
- **Next:** Improvements, when you're ready for them.

## How we'll stay in touch

You'll hear from me every week. I prefer writing things down over long meetings, so you'll always have a record of what was decided.

I work US Eastern business hours, 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. If I'm ever out, my project manager covers and you'll know in advance.
