SAGE & SIGNAL

Services

Less friction. More flow.

I help organizations and individuals streamline workflows, improve operations, and use AI only where it genuinely adds value. No hype, no unnecessary complexity — just practical tools that lighten the load.

For Organizations

Four ways to work together.

Housing co-ops · Community land trusts · Mission-driven nonprofits

AI Back-Office Audit

$750 flat

A 90-minute working session with you and your team, followed by a written report identifying five to eight specific AI and automation opportunities inside your organization — with estimated time savings, tool recommendations, and a prioritized roadmap. This is where most engagements start.

AI Setup Sprint

$2,500–$5,000 flat

Three to six weeks. I build and document two or three working AI workflows tailored to your operations — intake automation, grant-report drafting, board-packet prep, donor follow-up, meeting summarization. Your team leaves with working systems, clear documentation, and a 30-day follow-up session.

Monthly Advisory Retainer

$1,500–$2,500 / mo

Ongoing operations and AI support — around five to ten focused hours a month. I’m your on-call operator and implementer, handling what needs handling. This is where the work compounds. Need someone embedded a day a week? Ask about fractional ops & people support.

Team Training Workshop

$1,000–$2,500 flat

A half-day session, remote or on-site. Practical, jargon-free AI literacy for your staff — whatever their comfort level. An excellent starting point for teams that want to move together. Often leads to deeper work in the months that follow.

Built to be doable.

I work with mission-driven organizations running lean. Nonprofits under $2M in operating budget get a sliding-scale rate — with the deepest support reserved for BIPOC-led and small organizations. It’s a policy, not a negotiation: same rationale for everyone.

Have capacity-building or technical-assistance grant funding — for example, through the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts? Even better. Let’s talk about a fuller engagement.

Not sure where to start? The Audit is the answer.

For Individuals

You’re not behind. You’re blocked.

The inbox you avoid. The task on your list for the third week in a row. The system you keep meaning to build. These aren’t motivation problems — they’re flow problems. And they’re solvable. Sometimes that means an AI setup. Sometimes a smarter workflow. Sometimes it means handling the task for you while you focus on something else. The method follows the problem.

Flow Session

$150

One focused 90-minute working session — bring the thing that’s stuck and we’ll move it. A workflow to untangle, an AI setup to figure out, a decision to make. The lowest-commitment way to work with me, and often where a bigger engagement starts.

Book one anytime — no discovery call required.

Find Your Flow — Personal Systems Build

Flat quote

For people who want a real system — not a tutorial. We start with a conversation about how you work, where your time goes, and what keeps falling through the cracks. Then I build it: an AI setup, an automation, a productivity workflow, a digital system, or whatever the actual friction calls for. You leave with something running and the knowledge to use it.

As AI evolves, you can come back — existing clients get a reduced rate to update or expand what we built. Starts with a free 15-minute consult; flat quote before any work begins.

The Signal System — Knowledge Architecture Build

$800–$1,500 flat

Your notes, ideas, and institutional knowledge are scattered — some in your head, some in an app you half-use, some in an inbox you’ve stopped looking at. The information exists; it just doesn’t connect, surface, or work for you. The Signal System is a built knowledge architecture, designed around how you actually think and work. Using Obsidian and Claude, I design the structure, build it out, document it, and walk you through it.

What you get: a working personal knowledge system, full documentation, a walkthrough session, and 30 days of follow-up support. Starts with a free 30-minute consult; flat quote before any work begins. Payment plans available — three monthly installments.

Just Take It Off My Plate

Flat quote

For tasks that are too small to hire a professional, too overwhelming to deal with alone. Sometimes you don’t need a system — you need someone to handle the thing. Research, setup, configuration, a spreadsheet that actually works, a form that makes sense — whatever it is. If it’s taking up space in your head and it shouldn’t require your attention, I’ll take it.

Starts with a free 15-minute consult; flat quote for the task.
