Assess. Pilot. Scale.
One workflow at a time, with a number attached. Nothing scales until the last thing proved out.
Part-time. Defined cadence. No junior handoff.
A weekly working session and a monthly executive report. Month to month. Stephen does the technical work with support from the Automation Warrior team β you don't get handed to a junior.
The assessment is a fixed fee. The retainer is scoped from it, based on the number of workflows and the deployment model β cloud or private.
