Business product builds + workflow sprints
Build the internal product or customer portal your business needs in two weeks, or automate one workflow in the systems you already use. Keep approvals, exceptions, and ownership explicit.
1 founding-rate sprint remainsacross the build practice, confirmed manually.
In-house example / client onboarding
2 exceptions1 due this hour
NEW INTAKE
The client intake is recorded once with its source, owner, service tier, and missing fields instead of being forwarded between inboxes.
Decision boundary
Request the missing field before any downstream record is created.
Current owner
Sales operations

Capture Validate Approve Complete
Representative in-house example. It demonstrates a controlled workflow, not a client result or labor-savings benchmark.
Workflow automation services
A workflow automation sprint is a fixed-scope engagement that replaces one repeated manual process across the systems a team already uses. The unit of work is a complete trigger-to-outcome workflow, not a collection of disconnected automations.
In this 10-working-day sprint, that means mapping the current process and buyer-owned baseline, connecting one to three systems, preserving human judgment, handling validation and exceptions, adding logs and alerts, testing representative inputs, deploying safely, and training the owner who inherits it.
Review Omid Ahourai's background and public work on GitHub.
Connect intake, validation, approvals, CRM, billing, and owner handoff without replacing the systems the team already trusts.
Move one repeated document path from capture through validation and exception review, with source links and a complete audit history.
Turn one spreadsheet-and-inbox reporting loop into a monitored workflow with an explicit owner, retry path, and accepted output.
Buyer-owned ROI
Start with your volume, handling time, loaded cost, rework, and delay. Then choose one operating outcome the workflow can instrument after release.
Track cycle time, response time, throughput, rework, or cost per transaction with your own baseline.
Where capacity disappears
A reliable workflow makes ownership, exceptions, and completion visible instead of hiding them in tribal knowledge.
Founder as router
Requests wait for someone who knows which inbox, sheet, CRM field, and exception path comes next.
Admin scales with growth
The process has connectors, but no owned trigger-to-outcome workflow with clear completion and recovery states.
Silent handoff delay
Quotes, onboarding, invoices, documents, and reports stall between systems without an SLA or responsible exception owner.
Brittle automation
Missing validation, retries, alerts, logs, and human override make a simple connector risky to change or trust.
What ships
The exact tools follow your stack. The control model stays explicit: validate inputs, preserve judgment, surface exceptions, and leave a known fallback.
01 / Current state
Trigger, systems, manual steps, exceptions, owner, buyer-supplied baseline, and one written acceptance criterion.
02 / Rules
Deterministic checks, documented thresholds, and explicit human decisions where judgment remains necessary.
03 / Recovery
Useful failure reasons, bounded retry, an owned queue, alerts, and a rollback path instead of silent partial completion.
04 / Operations
Run status, source links, destination confirmations, exception SLA, and an owner who can intervene without reading code.
05 / Safety
Least-privilege credentials, documented data flow, representative inputs, UAT, and an agreed deployment boundary.
06 / Ownership
Client-owned code or configuration, architecture notes, credential map, training, rollback, and a 14-day defect warranty.
The 10-day process
The clock starts when scope, access, representative inputs, and an owner are ready. New scope gets a new criterion; customer-caused blockers pause the clock.
Before day 01
Name the trigger, operator, systems, representative inputs, buyer-owned baseline, and accepted outcome. Access to one to three systems is ready before kickoff.
Days 01-02
Shadow the current process, document handoffs and judgment points, and freeze the smallest trigger-to-outcome scope with rollback boundaries.
Days 03-05
Connect the real systems in a safe environment and review representative happy, denied, missing-data, and approval paths on day 5.
Days 06-08
Add validation, retries, exception ownership, alerts, audit history, UAT cases, and a controlled fallback to the existing process.
Days 09-10
Run the acceptance test, deploy or deliver a release-ready change, verify rollback, train the owner, and hand over the runbook and baseline plan.
Scope boundary
The sprint works when the workflow repeats, completion can be defined, and the team can review real exceptions without outsourcing judgment.
Good fit
Not this sprint
The exact 10% deposit reserves the displayed founding price and does not reserve a start date. The scope call happens first and costs nothing.
Standard rate $16,000
$12,000
Founding rate for the single manually confirmed slot.
Book 15 minutes and I will tell you straight whether this is a clean two-week sprint. The $1,200 deposit comes after that call, reserves the price rather than a start date, and is credited in full.
Refunded if I decline fit, cannot offer two start dates within 60 days, or you cancel before accepting a written SOW and date. It becomes non-refundable after written SOW and date acceptance.
Another 40% is due before work begins; the final 50% is due at production handoff. Applicable taxes are disclosed before the SOW.
Already had the call? Reserve the $1,200 deposit. Terms version 2026-08-18. Secure checkout is handled by Stripe.
Straight answers
Scope, payment, access, and ownership before either of us commits.
One repeated trigger-to-outcome process with a named owner and one written acceptance criterion. It may connect one to three existing systems and include validation, approvals, retries, exceptions, logs, alerts, UAT, deployment, and handoff. A transformation program, migration, or backlog is not one workflow.
Use your own volume, handling time, loaded hourly cost, rework, and delay data. A useful starting formula is runs per year multiplied by minutes per run, divided by 60, multiplied by loaded hourly cost. We then baseline one outcome such as cycle time, throughput, rework, or cost per transaction. I do not substitute a generic savings benchmark for your data.
Judgment stays with a person unless you already have a documented deterministic policy. The workflow uses explicit approval thresholds, source context, an exception queue, audit history, bounded retries, alerts, and rollback so an operator can inspect and override the path.
No. The package is existing-stack first. It connects one bounded workflow across the tools your team already uses. A system migration or broad replacement is outside this sprint.
You may be able to. The sprint is for the point where the valuable work is mapping edge cases, designing human control, testing real inputs, monitoring failures, documenting access, and creating an owned production handoff rather than only connecting two actions.
No. It reserves the displayed $12,000 founding price but does not reserve a start date. The 15-minute scope call happens before that and is free. If the sprint is a fit, I offer two start options within 60 days. The existing refund and written SOW terms apply.
Written path
Name the trigger, systems, manual steps, exceptions, weekly volume, owner, and accepted outcome. You will get a written fit response, not a broad transformation pitch.
