How it works
Start with a conversation. If we work together, we assess the problem and agree on one system to build.
We discuss the work you want to improve, whether you can serve more customers, and whether the Sit-Down would help. No charge.
Profit Leak Sit-Down ($1,500). We document how your business runs, record our decisions and plan what to build first. About a week, working with you.
The Sit-Down →I build one system for your business: an automation, a custom tool, or software that fits how you already work. With you or for you. Four to six weeks. From $5,000.
The build →Why one guy
You talk with me about the work and agree how we will stay in touch.
You talk to me. Every time.
We agree how to communicate about the work before the engagement begins.

Time for your business
Automating routine tasks gives you more time for customers and the work that needs your attention.
Three options
The free call is 15 minutes. We talk about what is slowing your business down and whether the Sit-Down would be a useful next step.

How the services, pricing and support work.
Yes. 15 minutes, no charge. We discuss what is slowing your business down, whether you can serve more customers, and what to do next. The paid Profit Leak Sit-Down produces the written review and estimates what an improvement could be worth.
About a week, done with you. We create the Shop Book, a record of how your business runs; the Decision Log, our choices and reasons; and the Roadmap, a plan of what to build first. $1,500 flat. The deposit is $750 before work starts. The balance is billed on delivery. Also included: the Monday Card, your next-week action list; the Build Credit (100% of the $1,500 into Build One Thing if you start within 30 days), and a walkthrough until the plan makes sense. If I cannot determine a way to save or earn at least $15,000 over the next year, the $750 booking fee comes back, the second $750 is never billed, and we go our separate ways. The guarantee has four limits. It covers only the parts of the business we actually looked at. Finding the money is the Sit-Down; capturing it is Build One Thing. It does not apply if you will not share your baseline numbers. It does not apply if you are already turning work away, which we check on the free 15-minute call before any money moves. I do four a month.
Yes, in one case. The $750 booking fee pays for the week I spend in the business. If I start that week and cannot determine a way to save or earn at least $15,000 over the next 12 months, the $750 booking fee comes back, the second $750 is never billed, and we go our separate ways. The guarantee has four limits. It covers only the parts of the business we actually looked at. Finding the money is the Sit-Down; capturing it is Build One Thing.

I build one system for your business, live and in use, four to six weeks, from $5,000. With you or for you. Sit-Down fee credits 100% if you start within 30 days of the Sit-Down. Thirty days of support included, then an optional monthly care plan you can cancel anytime.
No. Some owners already paid for ChatGPT or another tool and have not seen it save time or improve earnings. Some have not started. The free call still works either way. We start from how the business runs, not from what software you already own.
No. The San Diego AI Guy is me, Lucas Cooper-Bey: one person you talk to, two paid products, a free 15-minute call. Automation Flow Professionals is the company on the contract and the invoice. San Diego AI Studio is a local community for learning, building with AI and sharing what you make. Its site has projects, learning resources and updates about gatherings.
I am based in La Mesa and work in person across San Diego County. Remote work is available beyond the county.
Every build includes 30 days of support after handoff. After that, an optional monthly care plan covers monitoring, fixes, and improvements, with no lock-in. If you take the build and never call again, that is fine. The documentation is written for the team who will use the system.
