Directors running a department, such as operations, marketing, finance or support, who spend the week coordinating instead of leading.
If you lead several departments and brief the executive team, VP of One fits your seat better. If your company has not approved any AI tools yet, the first step is that policy conversation, not a build.
$2,000 $400 an hour · 5-hour blocks
A $2,000 block (five hours) can work toward your department’s operating rhythm, a delegation matrix for two shared workflows, or a status report drafted from your existing tools. We agree the focus at the start; tool access depends on your IT team.
$45,000 minimum · $15,000 a month · 3-month term
Build makes sense when the routines should run every week across your teams, such as notes to follow-ups, written status and request routing, and that work is worth more than the $45,000 three-month minimum ($15,000 a month for up to 5 processes). Your VP or finance partner may hold that budget.
| Level | Price | At once | Three-month minimum | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build | $15,000 a month | Up to 5 business processes at once | $45,000 | The base level. |
| Build Plus | $25,000 a month | Up to 10 business processes at once | $75,000 | Adds processes that talk to your customers live or touch health, payment or student records, same-day requests, and 2 of your people trained as champions. |
| Build Program | $50,000 a month | Up to 20 business processes at once, across departments | $150,000 | Adds a named person on call around the clock as your backup, one shared platform piece at a time, and an MSA, a DPA, insurance and a security review. |
Routines that talk to customers live, or touch health, payment or student records, are listed in Build Plus ($25,000 a month, $75,000 minimum). An MSA, a DPA, insurance and a security review are listed in Build Program; if your company needs them sooner, ask, and we confirm the scope in writing.
New software products and replacing a core system are quoted separately. Our shared 24/7 rotation covers only the systems we build with you, with response terms in writing.
Optional arithmetic on your own numbers, to set beside the commitments above. It runs only in this browser tab: there are no default figures, and nothing is saved or sent.
Three months is counted as 13 weeks. This is not an estimate of savings: a system would not remove all of this work, your team’s time during the build counts too, and quality and risk matter as much as hours.
Before choosing Build
The total cost of today’s work is not the amount a system will save. Count only the time, errors or delays you have a credible plan to remove.
For work judged by quality, service or risk, agree how you will evaluate those outcomes too. A saving or improvement is something to measure, not a promise this page can make.
Take your VP the sample matrix, the Consult price ($2,000 for five hours), the time each workflow takes today and what you remain accountable for. If Build follows, include the three-month minimum.
Choose a hire when the coordination needs relationships and judgment every day.
A routine carries the repeatable status and routing. A coordinator carries everything, including what a system could draft.
Choose one when the real problem is that work is not tracked anywhere.
We work with the tools you already track work in and build the routines around them.
The free Of One exercise helps you map a decision and its open questions. Work through it in your browser, without an email gate or AI. Sending your answers for help is optional.
