AUTOMATION STACK

Built on the tools you already trust

  • CRM & Sales

    Keep contacts, deals, and follow-up aligned with the rest of your operation.

  • Finance & Billing

    Move payments, invoices, and billing data into accounting without re-keying.

  • Communication & Workspace

    Turn email and team messages into structured work instead of manual triage.

  • Documents & Compliance

    Connect documents, signatures, and records to the workflow they belong to.

  • Automation & Orchestration

    Use off-the-shelf automation where it fits; build custom middleware where it does not.

  • Your Custom Tools

    If it has an API, we can connect it—with middleware built in-house when standard connectors fall short.

Independent integration work — not an official vendor partnership. Patterns are confirmed per project.

DELIVERY PHASES

From idea to a system you can rely on

Four phases, each answering a different question. Knowing which one you're in keeps expectations, budget, and timelines realistic.

  1. Proof of concept

    The question
    Can this work?
    Built for
    Your team, internally
    What “done” means
    A working demo on sample data
    Realistic time
    1–2 weeks
    What it is not
    Software you can run a business on
    If rushed or skipped
    You build the wrong thing with confidence.

  2. MVP

    The question
    Will people use it?
    Built for
    First real users
    What “done” means
    The core workflow live with real users
    Realistic time
    6–8 weeks
    What it is not
    A finished product
    If rushed or skipped
    The demo ships as the product, and you pay to build it twice. Every month it isn't live is a month without users, feedback, or a head start on competitors.

  3. Production

    The question
    Can the business rely on it?
    Built for
    Everyone, every day
    What “done” means
    Security, access control, monitoring, audit trail, and recovery
    Realistic time
    Depends on scope
    What it is not
    A one-time launch
    If rushed or skipped
    Outages, lost data, and failed audits, found by your customers first.

  4. Ongoing

    The question
    Is it still working as things change?
    Built for
    The system as it runs
    What “done” means
    Uptime, fixes, and the next priorities
    Realistic time
    Monthly
    What it is not
    Optional after launch
    If rushed or skipped
    Integrations break quietly, and knowledge of how the system works leaves with whoever built it.

Common mistake

The most expensive mistake is shipping a proof of concept as a product.

We don't build proofs of concept. Want to build one yourself? The 1:1 Intensive guides you through it in two weeks. Not sure you need one? A will tell you.

How the Embedded Partnership works

What a 6–8 week build cycle ships

Start with a defined core product. Review working software as it takes shape, then finish with a running MVP and the documentation to own it. We agree scope, access needs, and the delivery window before the build.

  1. Up to 1 week

    Architecture and scope lock

    A written technical plan: the core workflow, integrations, data model, acceptance criteria, and agreed scope

  2. 2–3 sprints2 weeks each

    Two-week build sprints

    Deployed working increments you can use and review, with feedback feeding the next agreed priorities

  3. Final week

    Hardening and handover

    A running MVP, checks against the agreed acceptance criteria, documentation, and a handover walkthrough

Timing depends on the agreed scope, access to your systems, and review turnaround. Later features are planned separately so the core build has a clear finish.

What a partnership week looks like

Your weekly investment covers hands-on engineering and the technical decisions that keep the build moving. You work directly with the engineer responsible for delivery.

  • Hands-on build time: Implement the agreed priorities, test changes, and deploy working increments as they are ready.
  • Architecture decisions: Resolve integration and data-model choices, document the trade-offs, and address technical blockers.
  • Roadmap input: Review what the business needs next, identify dependencies, and keep the next delivery scope clear.
  • Direct access: Discuss questions and feedback with the engineer doing the work.
  • A weekly review: Walk through completed work, explain anything that moved, and agree the next priorities.

You can see what was built, what was decided, what needs your input, and what comes next. Weekly priorities and engineering allocation are agreed for your engagement.

Find the leak

Want to see where your own workflow loses time?

The free Workflow Audit reviews it, identifies the strongest opportunity, and recommends the most practical next step.

Calculate your loss in 30 seconds

Two ways to start

Strategy Call

For a broader business problem, product idea, or growth opportunity.

  • A direct conversation with our technical leadership
  • Your business problem, blockers, and desired outcome
  • A possible delivery path for the work
  • A recommended next step

Add a little context if you like; we review it before the call.

Free Workflow Audit

For a defined workflow bottleneck.

  • A focused review of the current workflow
  • The strongest improvement opportunity
  • A 20-minute review: join live, or get the recorded assessment by email right after
  • A recommended next step

The audit does not include detailed architecture or a complete implementation plan.

Neither entry path is a paid plan, and the audit is not a prerequisite for a Strategy Call or any paid engagement.
