Reports that build themselves
The weekly numbers in your inbox on Monday morning, pulled from the systems that hold them, with the comparison already done.
Automation and scripts
The work that repeats should not be done by a person
Every business carries a tax of recurring work: the weekly report nobody has time to build, the list copied from one system into another, the check that only gets done when something has already broken. These are the cheapest problems to solve and the most often tolerated.

The shape of every automation worth having
01
What is worth automating
The test is simple: does it repeat, does it follow rules, and does getting it wrong cost something? Two out of three usually pays for itself quickly.
Data moving between systems
Orders into accounting, leads into the CRM, stock between the shop and the shelf, without anyone retyping.
Advertising account maintenance
Search terms that waste money blocked, spend watched against a cap, landing pages checked for a 404 before the ads keep paying for it.
Checks that run whether or not you remember
Backups, certificates, uptime, forms that quietly stopped sending. The failures you want to hear about from a script, not a customer.
02
How we build them so they stay trustworthy
An automation nobody trusts gets switched off, and then the work comes back. Three rules keep that from happening.
It reports before it acts
Every script we write can run in a mode where it changes nothing and only tells you what it would do. You read a few of those before you let it loose.
It is safe to run twice
Running it again finds the work already done and skips it, instead of creating a second copy of everything.
It fails loudly
A silent failure is worse than no automation, because you stop checking. These say exactly what broke and what to do about it.
You can read it
Plain code with comments explaining why, not just what, so the next person is not held hostage to it.
Portfolio
Work you can open
Not mock-ups. Four live sites, and the write-ups behind three of them.
Questions
Questions we get asked
The things people ask before they commit to anything.
What kind of things do you automate?
Reporting, data transfers between systems, advertising account housekeeping, scheduled checks and notifications. If it repeats on a schedule and follows rules, it is a candidate.
Will it break when something changes?
Eventually something always changes. That is why the scripts check their assumptions and tell you when one stops being true, rather than failing quietly.
Do I need a developer to run it?
No. The usual shape is a script that runs on a schedule and emails you the outcome. You read the email; you call us if it says something is wrong.
Is it worth it for a small business?
Often more than for a big one, because in a small business the recurring work lands on the owner, whose hour is the most expensive in the building.
Can you automate something in a system I already use?
Usually, if it has an API or exports data. The first step is a short look at what is possible before anyone promises anything.
