Most of our Motueka engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. Business automations is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

Questions
FAQ
How long does business automations take to ship for Motueka businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Motueka businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
What's the realistic outcome for Motueka businesses?
Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy business automations into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. n8n sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
