Fixed-fee AI builds, matched to the gap

We remove the admin that is costing you money every week, with the controls, reporting and governance our larger clients require. Four productised builds, each a fixed fee quoted before you commit, each pointed at a result you can verify in days.

Why this pays

The admin is already costing you money

The point of a build is recovered cost, not technology. We put a credible monthly figure on the manual process first, then scope the fix against it.

33+ hrs a month UK small-business owners spend on internal admin
24 days a year small businesses lose to financial admin alone, by Sage estimates
84% less invoice and receipt re-keying at a Manchester bookkeeping firm, in one Blash build
The ladder

Four builds, one fixed fee each

Whether you are a sole trader or run operations in a 2,000-person business, you can see where you sit in 30 seconds. Each build has a deliberately tight scope, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

  • Contact-form triage and lead capture into a spreadsheet or simple CRM
  • Missed-call text-back where telephony permits

What we remove first

The workflows we automate first

We name the workflow rather than sell a model. These are the jobs that pay back first.

  • Missed-call recovery
  • Invoice chasing removed
  • Quote and proposal follow-up
  • Proposal drafting from notes
  • Document intake without re-keying
  • Candidate scheduling without the back-and-forth
  • Lead qualification and routing
  • After-hours enquiry capture
How delivery runs

The same four stages, every build

01

Diagnose

We cost the current manual process and pick the one workflow with the clearest payback.

02

Design

We map the workflow, set the knowledge source, and define the human review points.

03

Deliver

We install one controlled workflow, with reporting on volume, response time and exceptions.

04

Govern

We tune against a live exception log and report ROI, with the controls a board will accept.

On day one we install one controlled workflow. By day seven you can see it working, see the exceptions, and see the first evidence of time or lead recovery.

Common questions

Pricing, speed and ownership

How is AI automation priced?

Every build is a fixed fee, quoted before you commit. You see the number first, and any fee paid is credited against a higher build within 12 months if you upgrade.

How fast is a build?

AI Front Door installs in 5 to 10 working days. Quick Win Install has the first workflow live inside 7 days. Core Workflow Setup takes 4 to 6 weeks for three workflows. Managed AI Operations runs on a weekly rhythm with a 30-day onboarding pilot.

Do we own what you build?

Yes. You own the code, the data and the workflows. We build on open tools and hand the system over, so you are never locked to us.

What if we are regulated?

Managed AI Operations includes a governance pack: risk assessments, DPIA support, a change log and an audit trail, with security review across MFA, role-based access, backups and least-privilege. The governance is part of the build, not a footnote.
