The busywork runs itself.
You keep the keys.
In 30 days I'll install an AI staff in your business and take back 50+ hours a month of busywork. Done for you, on your accounts. You keep everything.
If it isn't worth building, I'll tell you that on the call.

- the week that runs itself
Most “AI automation” is another tool you have to run. A zap with your name on it.
An AI staff is the other thing. It reads, decides, acts, and hands off, with guardrails you can watch.
The orange line is the route. It draws ahead of you. →
First, we find where fifty hours a month are hiding.
A thirty-minute call, no deck. You talk through where the week actually goes. I map what the staff takes first, and we write down what that work costs you today, in hours, so day 30 has a number to beat. If the honest answer is “don't build this yet,” you hear it on the call. You're out thirty minutes, not thirty grand.
Then the staff moves in. And the first workflow goes live.
I install the AI staff in your business. Nothing proprietary: I build it from the best frontier tools alive right now, the same ones I run my own company on, wired into your workflows. It works in your accounts, with real guardrails and an operator watching (me). Not a prototype. Not a video of it working on my machine. By day 30 it's doing the work, and you've stopped.
Phase one of working together. A visible win before any monthly anything.

One sentence from you. The rest happened on its own.
Then I keep it flying.
After the sprint proves itself, you choose whether I stay on. If I do, I run what's live and keep automating the next thing. This stuff changes weekly. You're paying to have someone at the frontier for you, so you don't have to live there.
Every month you get a report. What ran. What it saved, in hours and dollars. What's next. Capped at five clients, because I personally operate every one.
Nothing here is mine to hold hostage.
-
Accounts
Set up in your name from day one. Every connection is one you authorized, and you can revoke any of them, any time.
-
Billing
Your server, your subscriptions, your AI plans. Billed to you direct, at their price. You'll have the monthly range before you sign.
-
My fee
The build and the operating. I make nothing on what you spend on tokens.
-
The exit
If you leave, it's built to keep running on your own setup, and you get a handover doc plus a walkthrough. Agents, code, configs, docs. Yours.
Pilot's log · proof, not pitch
I fly this way myself.
My own company runs on the same AI staff I install for clients. Invoicing, follow-up, research, the daily upkeep. Most of the commit history in my systems isn't me; it's agents logging their own maintenance. After a hard power cut, the whole stack is back and working in about 33 seconds. I know because I test it, not because a landing page told me to say so.

“It used to be a bit chaotic. The chaos is now gone. We finally had a top-level overview of everything that was going on in the organization we just didn't have before.”

LOG-02
“I've worked with other fractional COOs before, but Hunter's attention to detail, ability to scope projects, and solve problems immediately is what really sets him apart. If you're considering hiring him — do it. 10/10 recommend.”

LOG-03
“StartupStage's new workspace saves us hours every week and has streamlined our communication and efficiency.”
-
LOG-04
A life-insurance back office where the daily records process themselves; people handle the exceptions, not the pile.
Pattern: the agent does the run, humans keep the judgment calls.
Still learning, still refining. The saved hours are real, and so are the scars.
Day job: Head of Platform Integrations, Automation & Agentic Development at It's Feasible
If day 30 comes up short, I keep flying. Free.
Do the kickoff and grant access in week 1. If you're not on pace to get 40+ hours a month back by day 30, I keep working at no extra charge until you are. The monthly phase doesn't start billing until then either.
No refund theater. My risk is my time, which is the honest version. You'll know it's working because you'll feel the hours come back.
The math: if those 40 hours are worth $50 each, that's $2,000 a month; at $100, it's $4,000. We use your number on the scoping call. The 30-day sprint is $7,500 upfront. Ongoing operation is optional.
NOTAMs · things worth knowing before you file
Fair questions.
Asked by every sane operator, answered without hedging.
NTM-01What does this cost, total?
The sprint is $7,500, paid upfront. That is the entire required engagement. In 30 days, it installs the staff and puts the first workflow live. If you want me to keep operating and expanding after that, the optional retainer is $4,500/mo with a three-month minimum ($13,500), then month to month. Sprint plus that minimum ongoing phase is $21,000. You see every number before you commit. No hourly, no surprise invoices.
NTM-02Do I actually own what you build?
Yes. All of it. Agents, code, configs, docs, accounts. Built in your name from day one, on your own subscriptions. Every connection is authorized by you and revocable by you, any time. If we stop working together, it's built to keep running on your setup, and you get a handover doc plus a walkthrough of what needs occasional upkeep. No lock-in, no black box.
NTM-03How is this different from the AI tools we already pay for?
Most AI tools are something you still have to operate. A chatbot to prompt, a zap to wire, a dashboard to babysit. An AI staff does the work end to end: reads, decides, acts, hands off, with guardrails so you can trust it. And I operate it, so the system isn't a second job wearing a cape.
NTM-04Is this your own software?
No, and that's the point. I assemble your staff from the strongest agent tools on the market and wire them into your business. Picking the right ones and keeping them current is the job. If I disappear, the tools don't.
NTM-05What does it cost to run after the build?
Two parts, both visible. Your own accounts pay for the server, the subscriptions, and the AI plans, at the providers' prices. I never mark that up, and you get the monthly range in writing before you sign. And me, only if you keep the retainer.
NTM-06When does the 30-day clock actually start?
When access is granted, not when the invoice is paid. Slow IT can't eat your guarantee. At the scoping call we write down what the chosen work costs you today, in hours, so day 30 is measured against a number we both agreed to. And if the pace isn't there, I keep working free and the retainer doesn't start billing until it is.
NTM-07Honestly, does a business like mine need this?
Sometimes no, and then I'll say no. The question isn't “do we need AI.” It's “where are we burning hours on repeatable work.” If those hours exist, an AI staff can probably take them. If they don't, the scoping call cost you thirty minutes and you got a straight answer.
