Audit + signed baseline
Operations audit with the people who run the workflow. We measure where the hours actually go and co-sign a baseline. The number is mutually agreed before we build anything.
For owner-operators of trades, construction, and property-management businesses. We measure where the time goes on Day 1, build the automation that targets your biggest time-sink, and re-measure on Day 30. Get 10 hours of your week back, or we keep building — free — until we do.
We measure a signed baseline on Day 1 and re-measure on Day 30. If we miss the target, we keep building free until we hit it — no time cap, no extra invoice.
$7,250 to start. The other $7,250 is invoiced only after Day 30 re-measure confirms the 10-hour target is hit. If we miss, you don't pay the second half until we do.
Two reference engagements per quarter, capacity bounded so we can deliver the guarantee. Q3 closes Sept 30.
The whole engagement is wrapped around a single number: 10 hours of measured weekly time savings. Every week of the build feeds into the Day 30 re-measure.
Operations audit with the people who run the workflow. We measure where the hours actually go and co-sign a baseline. The number is mutually agreed before we build anything.
We write the automation spec, get your sign-off, and start the build. Tools, integrations, agents — production-grade, in your environment, on accounts you own.
Working automation against real data by end of week. We run it side-by-side with the manual workflow, catch the edge cases, polish what's rough.
Code review, training session, runbook delivery, 12 SOPs tailored to your tooling. Your team owns the system end-to-end before we step back.
Same method, same dimensions as the Day 1 baseline. Hit 10 hours? Second invoice goes out. Miss it? We keep building free until we hit it. No time cap.
The build doesn't end with the automation. Everything below ships with the engagement — and the audit document is yours regardless of whether you book the engagement at all.
Week 1. We measure where weekly hours go in the workflow you nominate, co-sign a baseline both sides agree on, and present the audit as a written artifact you keep regardless of whether the engagement continues.
Live in your tools, on your accounts, against your real data. Built on the stack your team will actually maintain (Claude, OpenAI, n8n, Make, custom code where it fits). No proprietary lock-in.
Plain-English runbook in your team's voice, a recorded training walkthrough, and a live handoff session with the operators who'll run it. Lives next to the code in your repo.
Anything that breaks in the first 60 days after handoff, we fix free. Separate from the 30-day guarantee window — this is operational coverage to make sure the system stays live.
Twelve standard operating procedures built during Week 4, tailored to your tooling and the workflows around the automation. Intake, escalation, exception handling — the playbooks your team needs to run the system without us.
One 60-minute strategy call per quarter for the year following handoff. Audit how the system is performing, what's worth automating next, what to retire. Worth roughly the price of a Bottleneck Audit on its own.
If you take only the Week 1 audit and decide to exit, the written audit document is yours to keep — share it with another consultant, hand it to your in-house team, or just use it as a baseline next quarter. No clawback.
If the Day 30 re-measure misses the 10-hour target, we keep building free until we hit it. No time cap, no second invoice until success. The single number, the single moment, the clean accountability.
Invoiced when you sign. Covers the Week 1 audit + signed baseline and locks in your Q3 seat. The audit document is yours to keep even if you exit the engagement after Week 1 for any reason.
Invoiced only after the Day 30 re-measure confirms the 10-hour target is hit. If we miss, you don't pay the second half — we keep building free until we do. Single number, single moment, clean accountability.
NO HOURLY CLOCKS · NO CHANGE-ORDERS · NO UPSELLS DURING THE BUILD
The 10-Hour Guarantee is calibrated for trades, construction, and property-management businesses with a clear weekly bottleneck. Not for everyone — and we'd rather tell you on the fit call than after you've signed.
The most recent testimonial — a marketer who hired Eunoia to build a six-page SEO landing system for one of their clients. Different engagement, same standard you'll get on the Guarantee.

Austin built six SEO-optimized landing pages for one of my clients and absolutely delivered. Yoast green across the board, schema markup done right, Gravity Forms wired up for lead tracking, and clean branding throughout. What stood out most was his communication — every change was documented step-by-step, and he proactively flagged next steps I hadn't even thought to ask about (Search Console submissions, schema validation, internal linking strategy). If you need a developer who treats your project like it's his own, hire Austin.

Twenty minutes to confirm we're a fit on both sides. You tell us about the workflow you'd aim the Guarantee at; we tell you honestly whether 10 hours is achievable in 30 days. If yes, you take the Q3 seat. If no, we'll point you to The Bottleneck Audit or a paid Automation Build instead.
On Day 1 we run a structured audit interview with the people who actually run the workflow — usually 2 hours total. We map current-state effort across the steps that consume time, sign a baseline both sides agree on, and write it down. On Day 30 we re-measure using the same method against the same workflow. The 10-hour reduction is calculated against the signed baseline.
We keep building free until we hit it. No time cap, no extra invoice. We may pick a second automation in the same workflow, refine the first one, or extend the build into adjacent steps — whichever path moves the number. The second 50% of the engagement fee doesn't get invoiced until the re-measure confirms we hit 10 hours.
The Day 1 audit tells us. If we can't see a credible path to 10 hours, we say so on Day 1 before you commit a dollar past the audit. You keep the audit document, take a paid Automation Build quote if you want, and walk away. We'd rather lose a sale than promise a number we can't hit.
Three reasons. (1) These verticals have clearly measurable bottlenecks — intake, estimating, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing — that AI/automation reliably handles. (2) The tech stacks are similar enough across the verticals (CRMs like JobNimbus or BuilderTrend, accounting like QBO/Xero, scheduling tools, etc.) that we ship faster. (3) Case studies share well when the next prospect sees their peer industry. For other industries we have The Bottleneck Audit and Automation Build as horizontal engagements.
The second $7,250 is invoiced when — and only when — the Day 30 re-measure confirms the 10-hour target is hit. That single number is the trigger. No subjective "is your team using it enough" call; no adoption-count threshold. Either the re-measure shows ≥10 hours of weekly savings against the signed baseline or it doesn't.
You do. All code ships to a GitHub repo on your org. The 12 SOPs and runbook ship as documents in your shared drive. No proprietary modules, no "call us to renew the license," no consultant lock-in. Any developer can read the code; any operator can read the runbook.
We co-sign it. Both sides agree on what we're measuring before we start, and we write it down. If you think we've over-counted or under-counted on Day 1, you say so before signing — and we re-measure until both sides are confident. The baseline binds both of us.
Because the guarantee is real. Capacity-bound delivery is the only way to underwrite "keep building free until we hit it" without it turning into a bad business. Two engagements per quarter leaves room to actually keep building if the first re-measure misses the target on either of them — without abandoning paid clients in other tracks.
$14,500. Half on signing. Half only after Day 30 re-measure confirms the 10 hours. Book a 20-min fit call to see if your workflow fits.
