00// matrix position

Where this fits in the services matrix.

Every service page now names the buyer state, the commercial shape, and the next route. That keeps the catalog navigable instead of feeling like disconnected offers.

01 · best fit

Operate and improve an existing system every month.

02 · commercial shape

00B// system flow

The offer is a route, not a loose task list.

This diagram gives every service page a concrete operating model: intake, system design, implementation, proof, and handoff.

Automation Retainer moves from fit check to scoped work, then into build/proof/handoff so the buyer can understand how the engagement actually runs.

01// what you walk away with

The outcome, not just the output.

  • 01Two new automations per month
  • 02Maintenance + on-call for everything we shipped
  • 03Monthly health report
  • 04Slack channel for new ideas + bug reports
02// scope

Concrete artifacts you keep — and what we leave out.

Working code, written docs, dashboards your team owns. We also list what this engagement deliberately does not cover, so scope is honest before you click.

// deliverables
  • 2 new pipelines / month (scope: small to medium)
  • Maintenance: deps, deprecations, monitoring, alerting
  • On-call coverage during business hours
  • Monthly health report
  • Quarterly review call
// not included
  • Major rebuilds (scope as a separate sprint)
// track record

Receipts, not promises.
