Services · engagement shapes

Three shapes of an engagement.

Pricing is anchored, not hidden. Every engagement starts with the €1,000 Diagnostic; builds run from €5,000 to full architectures. We charge for the install once. The value compounds.

Star Chart

Read your stack. Find the missing layers.

Who it’s for

Teams running automations today that feel disconnected, static, or impossible to hand off. You have tools. You need a framework.

What you get

  • Mapping session — we audit every running workflow against the Solar System framework.
  • Orbital diagram of your current state — a hairline SVG showing what exists, where the gaps are, and which layers are missing.
  • Written diagnostic (8–12 pages) — symptoms matched to missing layers, priorities ranked by compounding value.
  • Prioritised roadmap — the order to install, rebuild, or retire workflows over the next 90 days.
  • Final debrief call — walk the diagnostic with your team, answer every question.

Outcome

You leave with a framework, a diagram, and a plan. You can implement it yourself, hire us to build the next tier, or hand it to your internal team.

§ II · from €10,000 · 4–6 weeks

Planet Build

Install one compounding workflow. End to end.

Who it’s for

Teams with a specific, load-bearing workflow — lead qualification, support triage, content ops, data hygiene — that needs to run at scale without a human babysitting it.

What you get

  • Project definition — a single-file specification of what this planet exists to do.
  • Skill document — the repeatable process, written so anyone can run it.
  • Full implementation — n8n workflow, prompts, integrations, data layer, error handling, alerts.
  • Learnings file — scaffold for capturing what the system has learned each cycle.
  • Scheduled tasks — the planet stays in orbit without human intervention.
  • Handoff package — operating manual, runbook, and 30 days of live support.

Outcome

One planet in orbit. Measurable output from week one. Compounding performance curve over 90 days. Your team can operate it; we stay in the background.

§ III · from €25,000 · 8–12 weeks

Solar System

The full architecture. Multiple planets in orbit.

Who it’s for

Operators committing to automation as a strategic layer — not a series of one-off tools. You want a system that gets smarter over time, connects every department, and runs without you.

What you get

  • Discovery — we spend a week inside your business defining the Sun.
  • Infrastructure design — Gravity layer architected for your stack.
  • 3–5 planets built — the workflows with the highest compounding value, installed end to end.
  • Orbital connections — data flows wired between planets; no manual transfers.
  • Accretion loops — measurement and feedback layers so every planet improves each cycle.
  • Full documentation — project definitions, skill docs, learnings files for every planet.
  • Handoff + 90-day warranty — operating manual, training, and live support through stabilisation.

Outcome

A compounding automation system that improves month over month without increasing your time investment. Installed once, improving every cycle. Transferable to your team, a VA, or another operator.

§ V · Start

Every engagement begins with a diagnostic.

Whether you end up hiring us for a Planet Build, a full Solar System, or just taking the roadmap and running it internally — the diagnostic is always the first step. Book one below.
