For founders who already know what's broken

You already know what's broken. It's still not built.

It's been on the list for months. Every week it doesn't get done, it quietly costs you customers. In 14–30 days I build the one to three systems that matter — properly, documented, and handed over.

For businesses with a live product and a known backend problem — not a strategy question.

The list that never moves

Every founder has a list. Yours is on it.

These are the jobs that never make it to the top of the week — because they're not urgent until suddenly they are. Tick the ones sitting on your list right now.

A proper onboarding sequence for new buyers.

Failed payment recovery that actually runs.

Support macros and tagging so nothing gets repeated.

An at-risk student flag before they cancel.

A cancellation flow that captures the real reason.

A dashboard that shows what's actually happening.

SOPs so the team stops asking you every question.

The thing you started building and never finished.

Three or more? That's a sprint, not a to-do list.We pick the 1–3 that protect the most revenue and build those.

What gets built

Pick one to three. Built properly, not patched.

These are the systems I build most often. Your sprint covers the ones that protect the most revenue in your business.

Onboarding system

The first 7 days, structured so buyers reach a real win instead of drifting.

  • Welcome + orientation sequence
  • First-win milestone design
  • Day 3 / 7 / 14 check-ins
  • Progress triggers

Support system

Stop answering the same question twenty times a week.

  • Macro and canned reply library
  • Risk tagging taxonomy
  • Escalation routing
  • Response SOPs for the team

Failed payment recovery

The most direct money on this page — cards fail, and most businesses never chase them properly.

  • Dunning sequence build
  • Retry timing logic
  • Card-update flow
  • Recovery reporting

Retention & at-risk system

Catch people before they cancel, not after.

  • Inactivity triggers
  • At-risk flagging rules
  • Win-back sequence
  • Cancellation reason capture

Reporting dashboard

One place that tells you what's actually happening each week.

  • Activation & churn tracking
  • Support volume by theme
  • Payment recovery rate
  • Weekly summary view

Team SOPs & workflows

So the business runs without every question routing through you.

  • Written process docs
  • Role handoff rules
  • Quality checklists
  • Onboarding docs for new hires
Your tools

Built inside the stack you already use.

No migrations, no forcing you onto new software. I work in the tools your business already runs on.

Using something else? Almost certainly fine — mention it on the call and I'll tell you straight if it isn't.

Scope discipline

One to three things, properly. Not forty things, badly.

Most backend projects fail because they try to fix everything at once. This one is deliberately narrow — that's why it finishes.

What a sprint is

  • One to three systems, agreed and written down before we start
  • A fixed price and a fixed end date
  • Built in your existing tools, tested on real scenarios
  • Documented and handed over so your team can run it

What it isn't

  • An open-ended retainer that quietly grows every month
  • A full rebuild of your business operations
  • Strategy decks, brand work, ads, or funnel copywriting
  • A dependency — you're not stuck with me afterwards
Ownership

You own it. Completely.

The worst outcome of a build project is being left with something only the consultant understands. Every sprint ends with four things designed to prevent that.

Written documentation

How every system works, in language your team can follow — not technical notes.

Walkthrough recording

A screen recording of every build, kept forever, for whoever joins later.

Team training session

A live session with whoever will run it day to day, with their questions answered.

14 days of support

Two weeks after handover to catch anything that surfaces in real use.

The investment

Fixed price. Fixed end date. No retainer.

$1,500 starting

Final price depends on how many systems and how complex your setup is — agreed in writing before anything starts. No scope creep, no surprise invoices.

⏳ I run a limited number of sprints at once — each one is real build time, not a queue.

Already had a Revenue Leak Audit?

If you start with an audit and move to a sprint within 30 days, your audit fee comes off the sprint price. The diagnosis effectively becomes free when you build the fixes.

Honest qualification

A sprint works for some situations. Not all of them.

Right fit

  • You know which systems are broken and want them built
  • You have a live product with real customers using it
  • You can give access and make decisions quickly
  • You want to own the systems afterwards, not rent them

Not right yet

  • You're not sure what's broken — start with an audit instead
  • You want everything fixed in one engagement
  • You need ads, branding, funnel copy, or content
  • You can't commit to decisions inside a 30-day window
No pressure

What happens after you get in touch.

01

Three quick questions

What needs building, how long it's been waiting, rough business size.

02

Scoping call

We agree which 1–3 systems give you the most back, and I tell you if a sprint is the wrong tool.

03

Written scope & price

Exactly what gets built, by when, for how much. You approve it before anything starts.

04

Build & handover

Weekly updates through the build, then documentation, recording, and team training.

Straight answers

Before you ask.

How much of my time will this take?+

Realistically a few hours across the whole sprint. One scoping call, access setup, a weekly check-in, and a sign-off before anything goes live to customers. The entire point is that you're not managing this — if a sprint creates work for you, I've done it wrong.

Will this disrupt my live business?+

No. Everything is built and tested before it touches real customers, and nothing goes live without your explicit sign-off. Where possible I build alongside your existing flow and switch over once it's verified.

What if I don't know which systems to fix?+

Then a sprint is the wrong starting point and I'll say so. Start with a Revenue Leak Audit — it identifies and scores the leaks, and the audit fee comes off your sprint if you continue within 30 days.

What happens if it runs over 30 days?+

The scope and price are fixed in writing before we start, so overruns are my problem, not your invoice. The only thing that extends a timeline is waiting on access or decisions from your side — and I'll flag that immediately if it happens.

Will my team be able to maintain it?+

That's the whole design. Every sprint ends with written documentation, a walkthrough recording, and a live training session with whoever runs it day to day, plus 14 days of support afterwards. If your team can't run it without me, the handover failed.

Do you guarantee it will increase revenue?+

No. I guarantee the systems get built, tested, documented and handed over to the scope we agreed. Whether that translates into revenue depends on your offer, your market and your follow-through — all things outside my control. Be wary of anyone promising otherwise.

Can you keep working with us afterwards?+

Sometimes, if there's a clear next scope. But sprints are deliberately built so you don't need me afterwards. I'd rather you come back because something new is worth building than because you're stuck.

What do you need access to?+

Whatever the specific systems touch — your course platform, payment processor, email tool, support inbox. Admin access is usually needed to build; an NDA is available on request and access can be revoked the moment the sprint ends.
