01 — Services

We build the parts of your business nobody wants to do twice.

Four practice areas. One philosophy: the system should do the work, your team should shape the outcome.

Workflow Architecture

We map every handoff in your business, then re-design the ones that cost you sleep. The result reads like an org chart, but runs without one.

  • Process audit & documentation
  • Event-driven workflow design
  • Internal tooling & dashboards

AI Agents & Copilots

Production-grade agents that read your inbox, qualify your pipeline, draft your proposals, and know when to ask a human. RAG, tool use, evals — the whole stack.

  • Custom GPTs & Claude agents
  • Retrieval pipelines on your data
  • Voice agents (inbound & outbound)
Most requested

Integrations & APIs

The unglamorous middle layer that makes everything else possible. Webhooks, queues, retries, observability — built like infrastructure, not duct tape.

  • Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion
  • Custom REST & GraphQL endpoints
  • SLA-backed monitoring

Fractional Ops

When the system is live, we don’t disappear. Monthly retainers for tuning, extending, and quietly shipping improvements while you focus on customers.

  • Dedicated Slack channel
  • Weekly system reports
  • Roadmap & backlog ownership
02 — Process

Four phases from blank page to running system.

We hate ambiguous timelines as much as you do. Here’s the entire arc.

  1. 01
    Phase 1 · Discovery

    Map the terrain.

    Two working sessions, a shared whiteboard, and an honest look at the messy parts. We leave with a system blueprint — flows, data, surfaces, and the one question nobody else asked.

  2. 02
    Phase 2 · Design

    Prototype the smallest useful thing.

    One workflow, end to end, in a sandbox. You touch it on day ten. It does something real — not a slide deck pretending to be a product.

  3. 03
    Phase 3 · Build

    Production hardening.

    Auth, error handling, retries, logging, observability, alerts. The boring layer that separates a demo from a system you can actually rely on at 2 a.m.

  4. 04
    Phase 4 · Handoff

    Hand over the keys.

    Loom walkthroughs, runbooks, a Notion home, a 30-day warranty, and an optional retainer if you want us to keep tuning the engine while you drive.

03 — Recent work

Quiet systems, loud outcomes.

Inbound Sales · B2B SaaS

Replaced an SDR team with a voice agent.

Built an inbound voice qualifier that books to Calendly in 38 seconds. Calendar fills at 3.1× the rate of the previous human team, with a happier human team.

Operations · Healthcare

A clinic that never loses a referral.

Fax + email + portal → one structured pipeline. Patients reach the right practitioner in hours, not days.

Finance · DTC Brand

Closed the books in 47 minutes.

A reconciliation agent that ingests Shopify, Stripe, and the bank, then posts to QuickBooks with citations. Month-end now ends.

Barlow built the operating system our company was pretending to have. We kept the team, but doubled what they can do. It feels like we hired ten of our best people, but quieter.

04 — FAQ

Honest answers, up front.

What does an engagement actually cost?

Projects start at $1.5K–$18K for a focused four-phase build. Multi-workflow engagements run $20K–$58K. Retainers begin at $750+/month. We’ll quote a firm number after a 30-minute call — no “it depends” theatre.

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Most of our clients are. We translate. You’ll leave every meeting understanding exactly what was built, why, and what it’s costing you to run.

Will I be locked into your stack?

No. We build on tools you already pay for whenever possible, document everything in your workspace, and hand over every credential. If you fire us tomorrow, the system still runs.

What if the system breaks?

Every build ships with monitoring, alerting, and a 30-day warranty. Retainer clients get a 4-hour response SLA on Slack and an on-call engineer for true incidents.

What does “Intelligence” mean here?

Not buzzword AI. We mean systems that learn the texture of your business — the people, the edge cases, the quiet decisions that actually move the needle — and make them repeatable. The machine should serve that, not erase it.

05 — Start a project

Tell us what’s eating your week.

A 30-minute call. No pitch deck. You leave with a one-page plan, even if we never work together.
