Business Tech Residency

Senior level strategy plus hands on delivery.
Including practical AI work tied to ROI.

Why This Model Works

Tech spend goes sideways when decisions are made without real context, and work gets pushed into big projects by default. This model keeps things simple. You pay for time spent and work done. We meet twice per month to decide priorities and define a short list of deliverables. Then I implement them.

AI is a good example of why this matters. Most businesses do not need “AI strategy.” They need a few well chosen changes that reduce manual work, improve response time, or increase throughput. This structure helps us find that without guessing.

Two working sessions per month for decisions and prioritization.
Defined deliverables each month, agreed before implementation begins.
Hands on implementation inside the same engagement.
Two month minimum to establish context, then month to month.

Who This Works For

You're a fit if

You want steady improvements, not a big rebuild by default.
You want help making decisions, then getting the work done.
AI is on your mind, but you want practical use cases tied to ROI.

It's not for you if

You want a full time employee or open ended availability.
You need on call support or after hours response.
You want a single project quote before anyone looks under the hood.

What We Can Do In A Residency

Practical AI work

Useful automation, not hype.

Identify high leverage AI use cases tied to operations or revenue
Automate repetitive writing and customer workflows with guardrails
Evaluate tools and vendors without getting sold a science project

Operations and workflow fixes

Reduce friction in day to day work.

Booking, payments, intake, and follow up flow
Reduce copy paste and manual double entry
Simple processes staff can follow consistently

Integrations and automation

Make tools talk to each other.

Automations for admin work, customer messaging, and ops
CRM sync, email and SMS flows, scheduling handoffs
Remove fragile steps that break quietly

Visibility and reporting

Know what is working.

Clean up tracking so numbers are not misleading
Simple reporting that supports decisions
Data cleanup and consolidation across tools

Oversight and risk reduction

Reduce dependency and surprises.

Vendor evaluation and tool selection
Access control, backups, basic security hygiene
Make systems understandable without an agency

What You Get

Two working sessions per month

These are decision sessions. We translate what is happening in the business into options, then pick the work that is worth paying for next.

Priorities for the month
Options and tradeoffs in plain English
Scope and deliverables for implementation

Implementation time

I implement the agreed work. That can include fixes, improvements, automation, integrations, and AI related changes when they are useful.

Work shipped in small pieces
Less fragility, fewer surprises
Progress you can see, not just ideas

A clear monthly container

The work stays bounded. We agree on deliverables, then execute. The engagement starts with a two month minimum, then can continue month to month.

Defined scope each month
Two month minimum, then month to month
No rebuild pressure by default

ROI

ROI usually shows up as time saved, fewer vendor bills, fewer breakages, and clearer decisions. AI ROI usually shows up as reduced manual work and faster throughput, not magic.

Less manual work and fewer repeating tasks
Less spend on tools that do not deliver
Fewer surprises and fewer fragile workflows
Faster decisions because the system is clearer
AI used where it actually helps, not bolted on everywhere

Compared To Other Options

Option	Typical outcome	What changes here
Consultant	You get advice and a plan	We decide, then the same engagement carries it into implementation
Agency	You get a project and a scope	We work month by month and keep scope small unless bigger work is clearly required
Full time hire	Overhead, ramp time, and management load	Senior level support and delivery without adding headcount

Let's Work Together

If your systems feel expensive, fragile, or unclear, we can get you to a short list of changes worth paying for and then implement them.

Two month minimum. Month to month after that.
