Next Gen Automation Labs reviews your stack, names the two workflows worth automating, and either hands you the blueprint or ships the build. Three fixed-price tiers. No retainers. No platform you have to rent from us forever.
You start at the tier that matches the question you actually have. Most owners stop after the Diagnostic or the Blueprint — because they have what they need. We don't push you up.
Every tier is fixed-price after a free 20-minute scoping call. Diagnostic fee credits toward the next tier if you continue within 90 days.
We review every AI subscription you pay for and every workflow that eats hours. You get a verdict on each: keep, cut, or build.
A written, step-by-step buildout plan for your top workflow. Every model, every prompt, every integration, and every week-one failure mode named in advance.
We build the automation into the tools you already use, train your team in one session, and hand over a runbook anyone on staff can troubleshoot.
Can you actually tell me which AI tools to use without trying to sell me a two-hundred-dollar-a-month platform on top?
Yes. That's the entire point of the Diagnostic. Starting at $60, a one-hour scoping call and a written report with named tools, named dollar amounts, and a real verdict on each. If we don't find a workflow that's worth automating, we say so and you don't move up a tier. We'd rather lose the $400 build than sell you one you don't need.
A redacted slice of recommendations made in the last quarter. Specific tools, specific monthly figures, specific calls. Names changed where clients asked. Numbers are real.
We say "cut" more often than "build." Most AI spend in a small business is wrong by default — not because the tools are bad, but because they weren't bought against a real workflow.
Replaced by — Two native Pipedrive automations + a 30-line Apps Script. Same outcome, no add-on.
Recommended — Already paying back through daily drafts, RFP triage, and meeting summaries. Keep all seats.
Replaced by — A Claude Project plus a two-question Typeform. Identical hand-off into the sales rep's inbox.
Recommended — 9 hrs/wk of owner time recovered. One-time $625 build into existing QuickBooks + Gmail.
Replaced by — One. The other two were billed to different cards and nobody on staff used them.
Every Diagnostic ends with a one-page summary in this format. Five entries here, but a real report names every tool you pay for, in order of impact.
Diagnose. Blueprint. Deploy. In that order. None of the steps are throwaway, and you only pay for the next one if the prior one earned it. Many owners get what they need from the Diagnostic alone and never come back. That's a win for us too.
We map every workflow that costs you time or money and every AI line item on your card statement. You get a written verdict on what's worth keeping, what's worth cutting, and what would actually move the needle if we built it. No deck. A real report.
7 business days · $60–$140Pick the top one or two workflows. We write the step-by-step buildout: every model, every prompt, every integration, every place it will break in week one. Your team can ship it without us in the room — or hand the document to whoever you already work with.
12 business days · $180–$360Want the thing shipped instead of figured out? We build it into the tools you already pay for, train your team in 30 minutes, and leave a runbook with rollback steps. Fixed price after a free 20-minute scoping call.
2–4 weeks · $400–$900No deck required. No vendor pitch on our end. Just the workflows that frustrate you and the line items on your card statement that don't feel right. We come back in seven business days with a written report — a real one, not a sales doc.
The tools you pay for, the hours that hurt, the automations you tried that didn't stick. A paragraph is enough.
A written field report — keep, cut, build. Named tools. Named dollars. Signed numbers, not "up to" ranges.
Run it yourself. Hand the blueprint to your team. Have us deploy it. Or shelve it. Diagnostic fee credits if you continue.
