What you don't get: a subscription you can't escape.
The workflow is yours. The Zapier or Make account is yours. The spreadsheet or Airtable base is yours. The prompts are yours. If you decide to stop working with me, nothing shuts off. There's no platform that holds your business hostage, no monthly fee that the whole thing depends on. You buy a build, you keep the build.
What I'm not going to charge you for
A discovery call is free. Fifteen minutes, no preparation required. If I can't help, I'll say so. If I can, you'll know exactly what one workflow would do for your week before we talk numbers.
There is no proposal fee, no setup fee, no "platform" fee. The number you see on this page is what shows up on the invoice. Tool subscriptions like Zapier and ChatGPT are billed directly to you because they're tools you keep using after the build. I tell you the exact monthly cost up front. For most small business workflows it lands between $20 and $50 per month total.
How this compares to alternatives
Hiring an assistant
A part-time assistant at $25 per hour, ten hours a week, runs you $1,000 per month. One workflow at $750 one-time often replaces three to five hours per week of that work, permanently. Both can coexist. The workflow handles the repeatable parts. The assistant handles the judgment calls.
The other AI consultants
Most AI consultants quote $3,000 to $15,000 per build, plus a monthly retainer of $1,000 or more that your system depends on to keep running. The numbers are rarely on their website. Mine are right here, they're a fraction of that, and there's no monthly lock-in. You own what I build.
Buying a workflow template on Fiverr
Templates give you a document. One Less Thing gives you a working build set up for your specific business, tested on your actual data, with a handoff call. The two things are not the same.
The honest math
If a workflow saves you four hours a week and you value your time at $50 per hour, the $750 build pays for itself in about a month. The $1,500 tier pays for itself in roughly six weeks if each workflow saves three hours.
Real number: I haven't had a client tell me a workflow paid for itself slower than the second month. The cases where it doesn't work tend to fail in the discovery call, before money changes hands.
