Process

Scoped in a week. Shipped in weeks. Owned by you.

The same six steps every time, the timeline below reflects how our shipped builds actually ran, not a best case.

01

Discovery call · Week 0

You describe the operation; we map where hours and leads leak. No deck, no pitch, a working session on your actual workflow. You leave with our read on what to automate first and why.

02

Scope and fixed price · Week 0–1

A written scope tied to a number you already track, response time, quotes sent, hours spent on listings. One fixed price against it. If the math doesn’t clear, we tell you.

03

Build · Weeks 1–4 (typical)

The system goes together on the tools you already run. Our shipped builds have taken one to four weeks for focused systems (EST Wrap, AZ Motorsports, Bellaform); a full site-plus-dashboard build like Quintessence Auto ran three to four weeks, and larger platform work takes longer, you get the timeline before anything starts.

04

Test against real traffic · Final week

Workflows go live one at a time, against real leads and real orders, with a human fallback until each step earns trust. Nothing flips on all at once.

05

Handoff, you own it · Launch

Full access, full documentation, your team trained. The system is yours; no platform hostage-taking, no mandatory retainer.

06

Tuning (optional) · Ongoing

AI systems get better with tuning. Most clients keep us on to do exactly that, 212 Montréal is an ongoing engagement, but it’s scoped separately and optional.

Process questions

How much of my time does a build take?
A few hours total for most projects: the discovery call, one scoping review, and short check-ins as workflows go live. The point of hiring us is that you don’t run the project.
What do you need from us to start?
Access to the tools in scope (site, CRM, ad accounts, storefront, whatever the build touches), one person who can answer workflow questions, and sign-off on the scope. That’s it.
What if the system doesn’t work for our workflow?
Workflows ship one at a time against real traffic with a human fallback, so a mismatch surfaces in days, not at launch, and gets fixed inside the scope, not billed as extras.
Who owns the system afterwards?
You do. Accounts, access, documentation, all handed over at launch. Ongoing support exists because clients want it, not because the system needs us to keep running.
