AI Automation
Field service and job management software that replaces the repetitive back-office work — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, intake — for exterior cleaning, roof cleaning and contracting crews.
AI AutomationAI Consulting for Oregon contractors
Spec-first reviews and honest answers about where AI and automation are worth the money in a contracting or exterior cleaning operation — and where they plainly are not.

01Sound familiar
The problem, before it has a name
Most people arrive describing symptoms rather than a project. These are the ones that lead here.
- 01Leadership has been told to "do something with AI" and nobody has defined what
- 02Three vendors have quoted three incompatible things
- 03A pilot ran, impressed everyone, and changed no operational number
- 04You need a defensible answer for a board or a council, not a demo
02Approach
How I think about it
The most common reason an AI initiative stalls is not technical. It is that nobody has written down what problem it is meant to solve in terms an operations person and a finance person would both recognise. A pilot then runs, impresses everyone in the room, and changes no operational number.
This work is spec-first. The reasoning is shown, the limits are stated, and the deliverable is a document you can hand to whoever controls the budget — a ranked register of opportunities, and a roadmap naming the specific first build rather than a category of builds.
That includes the answer where the honest recommendation is to do nothing yet. It has been the right call more than once, and a consultant who has never given it is not one worth hiring.
02bAfter
What your Monday looks like
Deliverables describe what I hand over. This is what changes for you. You can make any relevant change you want to, easily, yourself.
- You know which two things are worth building and which nine to ignore.
- There is a number and a written scope before anyone starts work.
- Whoever approves the spend has read the same document you have.
- You can turn a vendor down with a reason attached.
For exterior cleaning companies
This one is already built
Pressure washing, roofs, gutters, windows, lights — the operating system, the website and the search structure already run an exterior cleaning company, so for that trade this is installed rather than invented. Fixed price, fixed scope, delivered in the first quarter.
03Process
How the work runs
01
Audit
Systems, workflows and the numbers that actually matter to you.
02
Register
Every opportunity ranked by effort against impact, with the reasoning attached.
03
Roadmap
90 days, naming the first build specifically enough to quote.
04
Walkthrough
An hour with whoever approves the spend, answering their questions and not mine.
04Deliverables

05Who this is for
Contractors first. Commercial and government too.
The build overlaps; the evidence each buyer needs to approve it does not.
Contractors & exterior cleaners

07Questions
AI Consulting, answered
What is the difference between this and the AI Readiness Assessment?
The assessment IS the standard entry point for this service — fixed scope, ten business days, a named set of deliverables. Broader consulting engagements exist for organisations that already know what they are building and need architecture review or ongoing advisory instead.
Can you produce something a council or a board will accept?
That is the normal output. Documented requirements, traceable decisions, named acceptance criteria and a scope written so a procurement process can evaluate it. A demo persuades a room; a document survives the meeting afterwards.
Do you resell any vendor?
No. There is no referral arrangement with any platform, so a build-versus-buy recommendation carries no commission either way. Where a product genuinely beats a custom build, that is the recommendation.
How is this priced?
Plans for marketing, ads and business operating systems are built on best practices in the field, and they are priced against deliverables rather than by the hour. A short ad-spend campaign can be $500. A marketing and operating system install starts at $25,000, with financing available.
