In two weeks, you'll know exactly where AI can save your business time and money — and your first two or three automations will already be running. No subscriptions. No jargon. One flat price.
Your total time commitment: one 60-minute call and one 45-minute walkthrough.
You complete a 15-minute questionnaire. I map your operations before we ever get on a call.
One hour. We walk your workflow map together and you show me the tasks that eat your week.
I score every opportunity by effort and impact — and build your first 2–3 automations while I'm at it.
A 45-minute call: live demo of your running automations, your top five opportunities, and a 90-day roadmap.
Small, durable time-savers built during the audit — each with a one-page guide so they keep working without me.
A clear picture of how work actually moves through your business, with the friction points flagged.
Every hours-saved estimate shows its assumptions. No inflated numbers, no tools I haven't personally verified.
Everything sequenced by return on effort. Build it yourself, hire anyone, or have Tecklife implement it — your call.
The audit ends with a roadmap you could run yourself. Most owners would rather stay focused on the business and hand the technical side to someone who already knows exactly how it all works. So I stay on — building the roadmap, keeping everything running, and being the technical brain you don't have to hire full-time.
I implement the phases from your audit — one durable, documented automation at a time, in priority order.
Everything already live stays maintained and monitored, adapting as your business and your tools change.
Tool and vendor calls, security fundamentals, "should we use this?" — a CTO on call, without the CTO salary.
A four-person shop and a forty-person operation need very different things, so there's no one-size price. We size the engagement and set the terms together — to exactly what you need, nothing padded, nothing you have to guess at. Every retainer starts with the audit, so we both know what we're building on.
Ask about fractional CTO →by applicationNo. If you can answer questions about how your business runs, that's the whole job. Everything I deliver is written in plain language, and every automation comes with instructions your team can actually follow.
Never. You enter your own credentials on your own machine — I configure, you connect. If your business handles sensitive data, I'll tell you which solutions keep it entirely on your own computers.
Then the report says so, and you'll know instead of wondering. In practice, every business that sends the same kinds of emails, reports, or schedules every week has recoverable hours — the question is how many, and the audit answers it with the math shown.
The audit is designed to be complete on its own — the roadmap is written so you could hand it to anyone. If you'd like Tecklife to implement it, that option exists, and I'll mention it exactly once.
