Three ways to turn manual work into managed automation.

Start with the smallest credible win: audit the opportunity, build the first workflow, then keep the system reliable enough to become a monthly operating advantage.

Automation Opportunity Audit

$500-$1,500

3-5 business days

A ranked automation map with savings math, risks, required access, and the recommended first build.

Teams that can feel the manual work drag but need the first high-ROTI workflow identified.

  • Workflow and tool-stack review
  • ROTI estimate by automation candidate
  • Data, access, and risk notes
  • Build sprint recommendation
  • Retainer fit assessment

Automation Build Sprint

$2,500-$10,000

A clear workflow where AI agents, APIs, CRMs, forms, dashboards, or scripts can save hours every week.

  • One production workflow build
  • AI-assisted intake, routing, or reporting
  • API, CRM, form, and spreadsheet integration
  • Testing, failure handling, and alerts
  • Documentation and handoff Loom

Managed AI Automation Retainer

$1,000-$5,000/mo

Ongoing ownership

A monthly operating rhythm for reliability, reporting, fixes, prompt tuning, and new workflow improvements.

Teams that want automations monitored, improved, and expanded without hiring a full-time automation engineer.

  • Workflow monitoring and fixes
  • Monthly improvement sprint
  • Prompt, agent, and integration tuning
  • Reporting on time saved and issues caught
  • Priority technical rescue support

Decision rule

Retainers are earned by measurable recurring value.

AAI should not sell passive maintenance. The monthly offer makes sense when a workflow is valuable enough to monitor, tune, fix, measure, and expand.

Human review where risk matters

AI can draft, summarize, score, route, and prepare. People still approve the moments that need business judgment.

Documented handoff

Every production workflow needs enough documentation that the business can understand how it works.

Savings stay visible

The retainer should report what changed: hours saved, errors avoided, issues caught, and the next automation target.

AI kept practical

No vague prompt theater. The automation has to connect to a real workflow and create measurable leverage.

Process

One useful workflow first, then monthly compounding.

01

Score the workflow

Map volume, hours, cost of delay, error risk, owner pain, required access, and likely ROTI.

02

Ship the first system

Build the smallest durable automation that changes the workflow instead of adding another tool.

03

Launch with guardrails

Add logging, alerts, rollback paths, docs, and human review where business judgment matters.

04

Compound monthly

Monitor, tune, fix, report on savings, and expand the automation map one workflow at a time.

Start with one workflow worth fixing.

Send the process, the tools involved, rough weekly volume, and where the handoff breaks. The audit decides whether the ROTI is real.
