Ops Starter · AI Ops Accelerator Pilot

Automate the one workflow
that costs you the most
time every week.

A 2-week, fixed-price pilot that builds one production-grade automated workflow with an AI layer — and delivers a plain-English runbook your team can own. $5,000 of the fee credited toward the full AI Ops Accelerator if you upgrade.

Who this is for
Organizations on standard SaaS

Your team runs on tools like HubSpot, Slack, Google Workspace, Airtable, or Notion. You have one clearly identified manual process that happens on a predictable schedule.

Operations and admin-heavy businesses

Your team spends hours each week on approval routing, weekly reporting, data entry between systems, or document generation — tasks that follow a consistent pattern every time.

One named pain, not a sprawling initiative

Ops Starter is scoped for one workflow. If you have three workflows identified, that's the full Ops Accelerator. This is the right starting point if you want proof before committing to the full package.

Teams that need to own what they deploy

Every Ops Starter delivery includes a plain-English runbook covering trigger logic, maintenance steps, and credential rotation. Your team can maintain this without us — by design.

What's included

One workflow.
Production-grade.
Fully documented.

This pilot is more than a proof of concept. A production deployment with error handling, test coverage, and documentation — delivered in 2 weeks.

01
1 production-grade automated workflow

Built in N8N or Make, integrating up to 3 named tools. Trigger can be scheduled (cron), event-based (webhook), or form-submission. The workflow handles the full end-to-end process.

02
AI layer integration via Claude API

One intelligent step powered by the Claude API handles one of: content classification, document summarization, routing logic, draft generation, or structured data extraction from unstructured input. Prompts are engineered for consistent outputs, not open-ended generation.

03
Error handling and admin notification

Every workflow includes a standard error handling branch. On failure, an admin notification fires via email (and optionally Slack/Teams) with the error type and the record that failed. Silent failures are not acceptable — all errors surface.

04
Plain-English runbook

A structured document covering: what the workflow does, what triggers it, how the AI step works, how to rotate credentials, how to update the logic, and common error scenarios with resolution steps. Written for a non-technical operator, not a developer.

05
10+ end-to-end test cases

Every scenario covered: standard inputs, edge cases, missing fields, API timeouts, and the error path. All 10+ test cases are run and documented before go-live. Results are included in the runbook.

Common use cases

What one workflow
typically looks like.

These are the highest-frequency starting points. Your workflow is scoped in the discovery call.

Weekly report automation

Pull data from 2–3 SaaS tools (CRM, project management, analytics), summarize via Claude, and distribute via email every Monday at 7 AM. Eliminates 2–4 hours of manual aggregation.

Approval routing workflow

Form submission or Slack message triggers an AI triage step that classifies, routes to the right approver, tracks status, and sends a confirmation on resolution.

Lead enrichment and routing

New CRM contacts enriched via web lookup, classified by company type and size, and routed to the correct sales rep with a Claude-generated one-line summary of the company.

Document generation

Template-based document (proposal, summary, report) generated from structured inputs via Claude API and routed for human review before distribution.

Invoice and data reconciliation

Purchase orders or invoices matched against a records system, exceptions flagged with a structured summary, approvals routed and logged.

Scope boundaries

The upgrade path

The upgrade trigger:
a second workflow.

When you identify a second workflow to automate, the Ops Starter → full Ops Accelerator conversation begins. The $5,000 credit unlocks three more workflows, the full test suite, and the complete workflow prioritization framework.
