Self-Serve Business Systems Products & Pricing | Alistair Vermaak

A Structured Path From Knowledge
Chaos To A System That Runs Itself.

Every stage solves the next logical problem — from a $297 self-serve diagnostic, through knowledge capture and automation mapping, to a library of ready-to-build automations and ongoing systems monitoring. Every product delivers automatically the moment you complete it — no calls, no waiting on a review, no live onboarding. The one exception: every paying client gets access to the Monthly WhatsApp Access Hour, a shared, scheduled session if you ever want to talk something through — not a private call, not required to use any product. Start wherever your business actually is.

Something feels inefficient → I understand the problem → I know what to fix → I want to build it myself → Keep it running without me
Level 1 · Entry, Self-Serve

Business Systems Diagnostic

Fully self-serve · instant delivery · no call required
$297
flat fee, one-time

A clear, evidence-based picture of what's happening in your business, why it's happening, and what to fix first — generated the moment you finish the questionnaire.

Who It's For

SME leadership who knows something is inefficient but can't yet articulate the root cause precisely enough to act on it. Real friction exists — but without a clear diagnosis, it's easy to do nothing or buy the wrong fix.

What You Get
  • Personalized maturity score across the four Constraint Map dimensions — Judgment, Systems, Execution, Leverage
  • Business process overview scored against the six pillars
  • Key bottleneck analysis, quoted back from your own answers
  • Documentation and automation gap analysis
  • Prioritized improvement roadmap, delivered instantly as a PDF report

Next step: your report recommends the Automation Opportunity Map or the Knowledge Capture Kit, based on your biggest constraint.

Level 2 · Strategy, Self-Serve

Automation Opportunity Map

Self-serve questionnaire · report generated automatically
$2,400–$4,200
scope-based, 1 dept / up to 10 processes

A practical, prioritized map of what to automate first — and what not to touch yet — with realistic time-saving estimates, generated straight from your answers.

Who It's For

A business with real manual workload but no clear, prioritized view of what's actually worth automating — or where the risk is too high to touch yet.

What You Get
  • Repetitive task inventory, built from your questionnaire answers
  • Automation opportunity scoring — value, effort, risk
  • Estimated time-saving projections
  • Tool and integration recommendations
  • 90-day automation roadmap, delivered as a PDF — no workshop, no draft-review call

Next step: take the roadmap straight into the Automation Blueprint Library and start building the top-priority items yourself.

Level 2 · Knowledge, Self-Serve

Knowledge Capture Kit

Async capture · no live interviews
$1,400–$2,600
two fixed tiers by scope

Your key staff document what they know without ever having to explain it out loud to you — and you get back an organized, searchable knowledge base.

Who It's For

A business whose knowledge and expertise live in people's heads, inboxes, and disconnected files, with no live interview time to spare.

What You Get
  • A structured question set per role, answered written or voice-recorded, whichever is easier
  • SOP and taxonomy starter templates, built out in your chosen tool
  • A searchable, organized knowledge base structure, set up and live
  • Documentation standards guide and knowledge ownership recommendations

Next step: layer in the Automation Opportunity Map now that your knowledge is structured, or move into Systems Continuity to keep it current.

Level 3 · Build (DIY), Self-Serve

Automation Blueprint Library

Instant digital download · build it yourself
$297–$497
per blueprint · $1,500 for the full bundle

The actual automation templates, so you — or your own person — can implement a specific workflow directly, with no build project required.

Who It's For

A business that already knows what it wants to automate and would rather implement it themselves than commission a build.

What You Get
  • Ready-to-use Make.com / n8n templates — lead capture, onboarding, reporting, and more
  • A written setup guide for every blueprint
  • Instant delivery on purchase, no manual fulfillment
  • A notification whenever a blueprint you own gets updated

Next step: most people arrive here already knowing which blueprint they need from their Automation Opportunity Map.

Level 4 · Recurring, Automated

Systems Continuity

Ongoing · monthly · fully automated, no calls
$950–$1,800
per month · Essentials or Growth tier

Your business systems stay reliable and improving, with proof delivered to your inbox every month — without you having to think about it, or get on a call.

Who It's For

A business with systems already in place that wants them to stay reliable and keep improving as new hires, tools, and edge cases come up.

What You Get
  • Scheduled automated monitoring on every connected system
  • A monthly health-check report — status, what was checked, what was fixed
  • Automatic documentation updates
  • Automation maintenance and small improvements within agreed scope
  • Alerting on anything that needs a real fix, so nothing breaks silently

Next step: ongoing and fully automated — pause or change tiers anytime.

Level 5 · IP / Course, Self-Paced

The Constraint Map Method

Self-paced course · instant access
$497–$1,997
self-paced · $1,997 with certification

Learn the exact methodology — diagnosing Judgment, Systems, Execution, and Leverage constraints in any business — and apply it yourself.

Who It's For

A DIY-inclined owner, or another consultant, who wants the framework and the templates directly, rather than hiring anyone.

What You Get
  • Structured video lessons covering the Constraint Map and the six pillars
  • Workbook and template exercises to apply the method to your own business
  • Instant enrollment and lifetime access
  • An optional, fully self-serve certification track

Next step: apply what you learn using the Business Systems Diagnostic to score your own business.
