Get your Tuesdays back.

Every business runs on a handful of processes. A few of them are quietly leaking time, money and quality — and you probably already know which one. I find the leaks. I hand you the fixes you can run yourself, free. I charge for the ones that need real engineering.

No pitch deck. If there’s nothing worth doing, I’ll tell you.

You’ve heard AI changes everything. Nobody’s told you where it fits your business.

The advice you get is either too big — a six-figure transformation project — or too small: a list of apps to go try on a Saturday.

Meanwhile the quoting still takes a day. Month-end still eats a weekend. The leads still go cold. And the answer to “how do we do this?” is still “ask Dave.”

You don’t need an AI strategy. You need two or three specific things fixed, in the order that pays.

Point at the one that hurts most.

Quoting & estimates
“It takes us a day to get a quote out — we lose deals to whoever replies first.”
Lead follow-up
“Leads go cold. Nobody chases them.”
Onboarding
“It’s the same 30 emails and forms every single time.”
Reporting & month-end
“I lose a weekend to spreadsheets.”
Inbox & scheduling
“I’ve become a full-time email answerer.”
Getting paid
“Money sits in limbo because we forget to bill or chase.”
Quality & consistency
“The result depends on who did it that day.”
“Only Dave knows how”
“If one person’s out, we’re stuck.”

Don’t see yours? Most businesses have 8–12 core processes. In 20 minutes we’ll find the one costing you the most.

I’ll tell you what not to hire me for.

Some of what I find, you can do yourself. One tool, an afternoon, no integration, nothing to break.

Those don’t go on an invoice. They go in a starter kit — the tool, the setup steps, the exact wording to paste in, and how you’ll know it’s working. Yours to keep, whether or not you ever hire me for anything else.

The rest — the work that touches your real systems, your real data, and has to run unattended on a Tuesday when nobody’s looking — that’s a build, and that’s what I charge for.

Twenty-seven years of writing software is mostly twenty-seven years of learning which is which.

Four steps. You can get off at any one.

We talk about what’s slow. You leave with a straight answer about whether there’s anything here worth doing. Plenty of people stop here, and that’s a fine outcome.

The Audit

$1,000 · credited back in full

A 45-minute call where we walk through where the time actually goes. Within 72 hours you get your Roadmap: the plays worth running, scored on impact against effort, the top three with the real math, and a 30/60/90 sequence. Plus the starter kit. If you build anything with me, the $1,000 comes straight off that invoice.

The build

Fixed price, quoted up front

I build the ones worth building. Fixed price, agreed scope, no hourly meter running.

Ongoing

Optional

Some clients keep me on monthly: new plays, tuning what’s running, training the team. Only worth it once there’s something running to maintain.

This works best if:

  • You’re 5 to 25 people
  • The owner is still in the weeds — that’s you, and you’re reading this
  • The same work happens the same way most weeks
  • You can decide without a committee

It won’t work if:

  • You want AI on the website because it sounds good
  • Nobody can spare two hours
  • You’re shopping for the cheapest quote

I’d rather tell you no in the first twenty minutes than take your money and prove it slowly.

I’m Tim Monaghan.

I’ve been a software developer since 1998, and working with AI and machine learning since well before it was on magazine covers. I’ve watched a lot of hype cycles arrive and leave.

That’s the whole value here. I’m not selling somebody else’s software and I don’t get paid when you buy a subscription. I’ve shipped enough real systems to know the difference between a demo that dazzles and a thing that still works in month six — and most of what’s being sold to small business owners right now is the first one.

If a tool isn’t worth it, I’ll say so.

Questions owners actually ask.

Isn’t AI mostly hype?
A lot of it, yes. Separating the hype from the two or three things that actually pay is the job. If there’s nothing worth doing in your business, I’ll tell you that and we’re done.
We’re too small for this.
The tools got cheap and simple. The smaller you are, the more one reclaimed day a week is worth.
I don’t have time to learn new software.
You don’t learn it. It runs in the background, and I set it up.
Is my data safe?
We only use tools with real data protections, and I set the guardrails. Nothing moves anywhere you haven’t approved.
We tried a tool once and it didn’t work.
Usually that’s a tool picked before the problem was understood. I start at your problem and work backwards to the fit.
Can’t I just use ChatGPT myself?
For some of it, absolutely — and where that’s true I’ll show you how and charge you nothing. What most owners never get to is the connected workflows, the things that run without anyone remembering to run them.
How do I know it’ll pay off?
That’s the Audit’s entire job, and it happens before you spend anything on building. You see the numbers first.

Twenty minutes. Free. No deck.

Tell me what’s slow. I’ll tell you straight whether there’s something here worth doing.
