Keep it working. Keep improving.

What you build changes as your team uses it, and the tools change every month. We keep what is live running, build the next thing on your list, and send you a report of the hours your team got back, ready to take upward.

Left alone,
AI work falls behind.

Handing over is not enough. A lot can change after go-live.

  • Your work changes

    New products, campaigns and markets. The instructions have to keep up.

  • The tools change

    A new model takes the lead, a feature arrives, a vendor changes its API.

  • Context goes stale

    Brand, product and pricing pages age, and the AI keeps reading the old ones.

  • Small faults go unnoticed

    An automation fails quietly, and nobody remembers how it was built.

  • People move on

    The person who knew how it all works leaves, and takes it with them.

  • The next job waits

    The rest of the list stays unbuilt, because nobody has the hours.

Every month
Four steps

We stay on, by the hour, against a plan you agree with us. Then we do it again.

  1. 01

    Plan

    One planning hour with you to agree the month and its hours.

  2. 02

    Build

    The next jobs on your list, built against the plan.

  3. 03

    Keep running

    Fixes, updates and your shared context kept current.

  4. 04

    Report

    Hours your team got back, ready to take upward.

What’s live keeps working.
What’s next gets built.

Every month, against the plan you agree with us.

  • A monthly planning hour

    With you, to agree the plan and the hours for the month ahead. Room for strategy input too, while the calendar allows.

  • Build time

    Hours against the plan, for the next Skills, Workflows and Agents on your list.

  • Maintenance and fixes

    On everything already live. After a model or tool change, we rerun each agent’s tests and fix what has moved.

  • Your Team Brain kept current

    Where you have one: the team’s findings checked each week, brand and product changes written in, and Skills that no longer fit fixed or retired.

  • Usage within your plan

    We help your team keep what we built inside your plan’s limits.

  • A monthly report

    One page: the hours your team got back and what they are worth. Ready to take upward.

  • A quarterly summary

    Written to be shown to your board.

Simple terms,
agreed each month

No tiers and no fixed weekly hours. A plan and an envelope of hours, set with you each month.

  • Hours agreed monthly

    Set in the planning hour, with a monthly minimum. Priced by the hour in your proposal.

  • Three months to start

    Then month by month, with 30 days’ notice.

  • Unused hours roll over once

    To the next month. Then they lapse.

  • Builds, your way

    New builds come out of the month’s hours or are priced on their own. We agree which with you.

Alongside your team,
not instead of it

If you want someone permanent, hire them. This works better alongside that person than instead of them. And when they leave, the knowledge doesn’t leave with them.

  • Not execution

    We keep the system running. Your team runs the show.

  • Not training

    Training belongs in each build, so it is never drawn from these hours.

  • Not paid media or SEO delivery

    Strategy input, yes. Running the channels, no.

  • Not extra hours

    Work beyond the month’s agreed hours waits for the next plan, or we agree more.

A few questions
you may have

Can we start here, without an audit or a build?

Yes. Many teams already have something running. We start by planning the month with you, from what you have and what you want next.

How is it priced?

By the hour, with a monthly minimum, in your proposal. Three months to start, then monthly with 30 days’ notice.

What happens to hours we don’t use?

They roll over to the next month once, then lapse.

Do you run our marketing?

No. We keep what we built working and build the next thing. Your team does the work.

Who owns what you build?

You do, from the day it goes live. It stays in your accounts if the retainer ends.

Why not just hire someone?

You may want to. We work well alongside that person, and what we build is written down in your tools, so it stays when people change.
