Based in Los Angeles. Serving anywhere.
We're committed to the accessibility of quality operations software. Our small business digital transformation service is our strategy to deliver on that commitment: a 4–6 week revolution for your operations, with software tailored to your most painful problems, at one fixed price for any business under a certain size.
It covers everything from discovery and development to implementation and training. For those 4–6 weeks, our team of four is effectively either your fractional COO or the best implementation team your current COO could ask for. This service is $10,000 for every small business. No more, no less, no surprises, and no compromises. The standard is perfection, and we can deliver. Take a look below to get acquainted with the process.
Every core pipeline moved from spreadsheets and legacy tools into one custom system. Scoped in a free call, live in four to six weeks, priced before we begin.
A large organization is not just a small one with more people in it.
We're committed to the accessibility of quality operations software. At enterprise scale, that commitment means something different.
Your institutions are load-bearing. We orchestrate change through them rather than around them, with the same commitment to lean efficiency and rapid iteration we bring to small organizations.
We shed light on the opaque corners of the business, then step out of the way while your decision-makers act with clarity and confidence. We support them as much or as little as you want from there.
Nobody wants to be dependent on independents. The mark of a successful implementation is how quickly it leaves our hands.
An engagement might open as a gradual standardization, or as a rework of one discrete piece of your operation, rather than a destructive redesign. Take a look below at both approaches.
We engineer within your existing stack: untangling configuration, connecting silos, and automating the work between them.
Hourly Implementations
Rates set by complexity, team size, and how fast you need it.
Flat-Rate Structures
For exceptionally tight, well-defined scopes with no moving targets.
Consultations & Audits
The initial consultation is always free; larger organizations may qualify for a no-cost preliminary operations audit.
Dogma 1.0, Our Force Multiplier
Dogma is how a team of four moves at this speed. It maps processes and models unique businesses quickly, so our hours go into your solution instead of the scaffolding under it: rapid, iterative deployment and revision, on a platform built for exactly that.
The Proprietary ERP
An extensible framework built for flexibility and ease of configuration in the hands of experienced consultants. Every engagement is built on it and configured to the business, never the other way around.
The Process Authoring Suite
Rapid drafting, deployment, and revision of business processes. It lets us meet you where you are while exposing the best opportunities for automation.
Process Mining & Management
Tools for in-flight management of processes that have gone awry. Dogma's restrictions can be lifted in an instant to meet reality at the point of collision, and remediations are drafted without leaving the ERP. Each problem and its solution stay in one system, where the mining is done.
Draw the Process. Deploy It Live.
Every workflow drafted, revised, and published without stopping the business. Changes take minutes, not another implementation.
01Draft: steps drop onto the canvas, and the process takes shape between them.
02Wire: each step declares what it requires and what it automates.
03Connect: one process hands off to the next: a finished job creates its own invoice.
04Publish: the impact check clears, and the process goes live mid-operation.
Every Exception, Already Mapped.
Cancellations, failed payments, edge cases: each one gets a defined path before it ever happens.
01Branch: cancelled early or cancelled late, every outcome ends in a defined state, never a loop.
02Wire: every branch carries its own requirements and automations.
03Extend: Collections picks up whatever falls through, opened by the failure itself.
04Publish: checked against live work first, then every path runs itself.
Your Whole Business, Documented in One Place.
A system built from those definitions, instead of a product you need to accommodate.
DOGMA 1.0
Every process on a single canvas.
FAQs
How do you know our business fits the $10,000 package?
We count your object pipelines. An object pipeline is one record type moving through its full lifecycle: a quote from request to sent, a work order from scheduled to closed, an invoice from drafted to paid. We count one as significant when it has a defined start and end state, it runs on a repeat rather than as a one-off, and more than one person or system touches it on the way through. Reports, one-time projects, and anything the business wouldn’t feel stop don’t count. Ten or fewer and you are inside the flat fee: $10,000 total, in three payments. We map and count them on the scoping call, at no charge, so you know which side of the line you are on before there is an invoice.
What if we have more than ten?
Additional pipelines are $1,500 to $2,500 each, priced on complexity. A linear approval that moves one record between two people sits at the bottom of that range; a pipeline with branching exceptions, outside integrations, and conditional automation sits at the top. The count and the per-pipeline price are written into the specification, and you approve the specification before the first payment. Nothing is discovered later.
How long does it take?
Four to six weeks from specification approval to deployment: a week to scope, a week to design and prototype, a week to build, a week to deploy, then a two-week handover window while the system takes over. The schedule assumes your team is available for reviews. The one thing that reliably moves the date is a prototype sitting unread.
Do we own the software you build for us?
You get the source and a perpetual, non-commercial license to it. Perpetual means it does not lapse, does not renew, and does not depend on us still being here. You can run it, change it, and hire anyone you like to work on it. You are not locked to us for maintenance. Two restrictions: you cannot resell or redistribute the system, including a version you have modified yourself, and you cannot reverse-engineer the automation engine underneath it. Everything above that engine is yours.
Could our own people maintain it without you?
That is a design constraint, not an afterthought. Your automations and backend are emitted as plain TypeScript: no proprietary language, no logic that exists only inside a visual editor, nothing that needs our tooling to open. We organize and name it the way we would want to find it if we were inheriting it cold, and we hold the code to the same standard as the interface. The naming is honest enough that a non-engineer can follow what a file does, and any developer you hire can maintain it without a handover from us. Most clients never need to. The point is that the option is real.
How are enterprise engagements priced?
Individually, and never before we have scoped them. The flat fee exists because small operations converge on a similar shape. Enterprise operations do not. Rates move with complexity, the team required, and how aggressive the timeline is. What does not change is the sequence: we scope first, quote second, and you approve a written specification before any money moves. Larger organizations may qualify for a no-cost preliminary operations audit; that is the call to ask about.
Can we license Dogma itself, not just what you build on it?
Yes. The full suite is available as an add-on, priced separately from the build: the process authoring tools for drafting and publishing workflows, the maintenance tooling, and the remediation and process-mining tools for managing processes that have gone sideways in flight. That is the same suite our own consultants work in. Organizations that intend to keep authoring their own processes after we leave tend to take it. Organizations that want a finished system and nothing to operate tend not to.
How long does an enterprise engagement take?
It depends on what we are untangling. A focused automation inside a stack you already run can land in a few weeks. A full ERP architecture with a legacy migration behind it spans months. We deploy in increments, so the first pipeline is earning while the last is still being built, and we do not start without a timeline you have seen.
Do we own the software you build for us?
The license terms are the same at every size. Only the pricing differs. You get the source and a perpetual, non-commercial license to it: it does not lapse, does not renew, and does not depend on the relationship continuing. You can run it, change it, and staff it with your own engineers. Two restrictions: you cannot resell or redistribute the system, including a version you have modified, and you cannot reverse-engineer the automation engine underneath it.
Can we resell or redistribute what you build for us?
Not under a standard engagement. That license covers internal operational use. If the goal is to white-label, resell, or ship the deliverable as a product to your own customers, say so during scoping and we will structure a commercial license for it, with a redistribution fee set as a percentage. It is a separate agreement rather than an exception to this one, and it is considerably cheaper to arrange up front than to retrofit.
