Solo architect — you work with me, not a team

Async by design.
Not by accident.

Every service follows the same model. No discovery calls, no scheduling back-and-forth. Just a structured intake and a clear output.

01
Submit the intake form

A structured form specific to each service. 10–20 minutes. Gives me everything needed without a briefing call.

02
Receive an invoice

I review your intake within 24 hours and send an invoice. The price is what it says on the page — no surprises.

03
Payment starts the clock

Work begins when payment is confirmed. The delivery timeline starts there, clearly stated, always honoured.

04
You receive the output

Delivered to your inbox with a Loom walkthrough where included. One round of async revisions on every DFY service.

Fixed scope. Fixed price.
Delivered to your inbox.

Each service is self-contained. There's no required entry point and no upsell pressure. Pick the one that matches your current problem.

The DFY services give you the system.
Direct access gives you me.

If you've seen how the framework works and want to build with me directly — not just from a PDF — the tiers below are how to do that. All engagements are intentionally small. Spots are limited because quality has to be consistent.

Five layers. One architect. Your pace.

Each tier gives you a different depth of access — from ongoing strategic thinking to private 1:1 architecture work.

01
Systems Dispatch
Recurring · $19/mo

My thinking, delivered monthly

A private publication where I share what I'm actively building, testing, and revising in my own content engine. Not a course. Raw, ongoing access to the decisions behind the system — including what's not working.

02
Content System Audit
One-Time · $297

A focused session on your specific setup

60 minutes. I review your existing content architecture, identify the structural gaps, and give you a prioritised rebuild plan in writing. Not generic advice — a specific diagnosis with a clear path forward.

03
Content OS Build-Out
4-Week Sprint · $1,500

Build your full operating system alongside me

We architect your content system together over 4 weeks — strategy, templates, repurposing workflows, automation. You end the engagement with a running system, not a plan. 30-day check-in included.

04
Systems Partner Retainer
Monthly · $750/mo

Ongoing strategic access, without the full-time hire

One monthly strategy call, structured async support (two threads per week), and ongoing iteration as your system scales. I stay close enough to catch problems before they compound.

05
Systems Lab
Quarterly Cohort · $1,500/qtr

Group access for a small cohort of serious builders

A closed group capped at 8 members. Quarterly architecture reviews, monthly group sessions, and first access to frameworks before they're packaged into products. Application required.

"The system should work without me. That's not a disclaimer — it's the whole point."

Start where you are.
Upgrade when you're ready.

Every tier is self-contained. No required starting point, no pressure to escalate.

Recurring Access · Entry
Systems Dispatch

A private monthly publication covering what I'm actually building and learning in real time. Decisions made, frameworks revised, things that didn't work. The unfiltered view behind the build-in-public philosophy.

  • Monthly deep-dive on a system, decision, or framework I'm running
  • Honest documentation of what's working — and what isn't
  • Early access to new frameworks before they're in the products
  • Subscriber-only async Q&A window each month

Limited Spots

  • 60-min live architecture review session
  • Written audit with priority action list
  • One week of async follow-up via email

Not sure where to start? The Async Strategy Session ($147) is designed to tell you exactly where to go next.

These engagements work for a specific kind of operator.

The work is structured, not hand-held. That makes it unusually effective for people who are ready to implement — and a poor fit for those who aren't.

This is for you if

  • You're a solo creator or one-person business who thinks in systems
  • You're already producing content — even inconsistently — and want a framework that scales it
  • You want to understand the architecture, not just follow instructions
  • You're ready to implement — you need direction and a clear output, not motivation
  • You want AI integrated into your workflow in a way that actually holds up
  • You can work from written deliverables and recorded walkthroughs without hand-holding

This is not for you if

  • You want someone to produce all your content for you on an ongoing basis
  • You're looking for a fully managed service or agency relationship
  • You're not yet clear on what your business does or who it's for
  • You need weekly calls and real-time reassurance to execute
  • You want results without implementing the system yourself
  • You're expecting shortcuts — this is architecture, not hacks

What people ask before buying.

Why async? Can't I just book a call?
You can — but the async format is intentional, not a workaround. A recorded Loom you can pause, rewatch, and reference is more useful than notes from a live call. A built system delivered to your workspace is more useful than instructions from a session. The format is part of the product quality.
What's the difference between a DFY service and a Direct Access tier?
DFY services have a fixed scope and fixed deliverable — you get a specific output and I do the work. Direct Access tiers give you varying levels of access to me as a thinking partner — for review, architecture, and ongoing strategic support. Most people start with a DFY service and escalate when they want deeper involvement.
How detailed does the intake form need to be?
Specific enough that I don't have to guess. The forms are structured and take 10–20 minutes — not an essay. The quality of the intake directly affects the quality of the output, so it's worth doing properly.
What if I want to start small and upgrade?
That's the intended path for a lot of people. The Async Session ($147) is designed to show you where you are and what makes sense next — including whether any of the larger services are the right move. No manufactured urgency.
Do you work with people outside content creation?
These services are built around content and AI-augmented content operations. If your business has a content function — even a small one — the framework applies. If you're looking for general operations or business systems work, the fit is weaker and I'll say so after reviewing your intake.
How do I know which service to start with?
Unsure where you are: Async Session. Broken or absent system: Content Audit. Want it built for you: Content Workflow Build or DFY OS Setup. Moving fast through Phase 1 yourself: Starter Sprint. Want recurring AI output support: Prompt Stack. Want direct access to how I think: Systems Dispatch ($19/mo).

The system is already running.
You just need access to it.

Pick the service that matches where you are right now. If you're not sure, the Async Strategy Session is the lowest-barrier way to get a clear answer before committing to anything larger.
