Working Together

What it takes to get your system working.

There are five ways in: $297, $497, $750, $5,000, and from $12,000. Two are for a build that's stuck or broken right now. Three are for something new. Which one fits depends on how much of the problem is already defined and how many moving parts the system needs. All of it is here, on one page, without a call.

The Options

Five ways in. Pick the one that fits where you are.

The Build Review, Build Rescue, and Build Plan you buy directly. The Build Sprint and Full System Build start with an application. It tells me what you actually need, and I follow up with the right next step for your project. For bigger builds, you will know which path fits before you pay anything.

Stuck partway through means the Build Review. Starting something new means the Build Plan.

Stuck or broken right now

The Build Review

$297

You send me your build and any notes you have on it. Within 5 business days you get a written verdict: what's actually broken, your next three steps, and what to leave alone. No calls, no meetings. Doesn't include fixing anything. Review fees credit toward a Plan or Sprint, not toward a Rescue.

Build Rescue

$497 flat

Send me the one thing that's stuck or broken and I start right away. Within 5 business days it's fixed, in your accounts. If it turns out to be part of something bigger, I fix the most important piece and send you a written price for the rest. Your $497 counts toward a Build Sprint or Full System Build if you go ahead within 30 days. Doesn't include new features or a second problem.

Something new to build

The Build Plan

$750

For the idea that needs a clear map before anything gets built. You bring the problem. I define the build.

  • Written scoping questions, no calls
  • Written build map
  • Recommended tools and structure
  • Timeline and budget estimate
  • What to build now and what should wait

Delivered within 5 business days of your answers.

Doesn't include building anything.

Fully credited toward a build. If you move forward, the entire $750 comes off the price. You do not pay twice for the same thinking.

Full System Build

From $12,000

For larger systems with more moving parts: connected workflows, dashboards, databases, AI-supported processes, and internal tools.

  • Clear definition of done
  • System architecture
  • Integrations and testing
  • Handoff you can run without me
  • Walkthrough and documentation

Timeline set in your written quote, in business days.

Doesn't include ongoing support after the 30-day window.

Quoted after scoping. The starting figure is real.

Which One Fits

You probably already know which one you are.

The honest test is not budget. It is how well-defined the problem already is.

You know something is wrong but not what to build

Start with the Build Plan. Paying $5,000 to build the wrong thing is the expensive mistake, not paying $750 to find out what the right thing is. It comes off the build anyway.

You can name the exact task you want gone

Build Sprint. If you can point at one repeated process and describe what should happen instead, the problem is defined enough to build against at a fixed fee.

The problem spans several tools or several people

Full System Build. Once a fix has to touch more than one system, or more than one person has to act inside it, you are building a system rather than a tool.

You are not sure yet

Apply anyway. The application asks about the bottleneck, the manual process behind it, and what a working system should do. That is usually enough for me to tell you which path fits.

The final price depends on how many systems connect and how much of the process is already defined. You get a written quote before anything starts.

How Payment Works

Fifty percent to start. Fifty percent at handoff.

The Build Review, Build Rescue, and Build Plan are paid in full up front. No refunds.

The first payment reserves the build and covers the work up front. The second is due when the system is tested and delivered into accounts you own. Nothing is due before scope is agreed.

The Build Plan is credited in full

Move forward and the whole $750 comes off. A $5,000 Build Sprint becomes $4,250. It is a way to de-risk the decision, not a separate product to upsell you from.

There are no ongoing fees to me

The system lives in accounts you own, so you keep running it without a monthly fee. You will still pay the third-party tools it runs on, and those accounts are yours too.

The first 30 days are included

You email, I help you get unstuck, no clock and no invoice. I also check in about two weeks in, so you are not the one who has to reach out first.

New work is quoted as new work

New features, structural changes, and new integrations come back as their own project with their own price. You know what a next step costs before you ask for it.

Questions

Questions about pricing.

How much does business automation cost?

At Sarah Builds there are five prices. A Build Review is $297 and gives you a written verdict on a stalled build. A Build Rescue is $497 flat and fixes one stuck or broken thing in your accounts. A Build Plan is $750 and produces a written build map. A Build Sprint is a $5,000 fixed fee and turns one bottleneck into a working tool. A Full System Build starts at $12,000 and covers larger systems with connected workflows, dashboards, databases, and internal tools.

Is the Build Plan credited toward the build?

Yes, fully. If you move forward with a Build Sprint or a Full System Build, the entire $750 comes off the price of the build. You are not paying twice for the same thinking.

Do Build Review and Build Rescue fees count toward anything?

Yes. Build Review fees credit toward a Build Plan or Build Sprint, not toward a Build Rescue. Build Rescue fees credit toward a Build Sprint or Full System Build if you go ahead within 30 days.

How is payment structured?

The Build Review, Build Rescue, and Build Plan are paid in full up front and are non-refundable. The Build Sprint and Full System Build are fifty percent to start, fifty percent at handoff. The first payment reserves the build and covers the work up front. The second is due when the system is tested and delivered into accounts you own.

Are there calls?

No. Everything happens in writing. The one exception is a single kickoff call at the start of a Build Sprint or Full System Build.

Why do bigger builds start with an application?

The Build Review, Build Rescue, and Build Plan are fixed offers, so you can buy them directly. Bigger builds need scoping first, because the right price depends on the problem. The application asks what the bottleneck is, what the manual process behind it looks like, and what a working system should do. That is enough to tell you which build path fits before anyone pays anything.

Are there ongoing fees after handoff?

No. The system is built in accounts you own, so you keep running it without paying Sarah Builds a monthly fee. For the first 30 days, support is included: you email, you get unstuck, no clock and no invoice. You may still pay the third-party tools the system runs on, and those accounts are yours.

What is the difference between a Build Sprint and a Full System Build?

A Build Sprint is one system, one workflow, one clearly defined outcome, at a $5,000 fixed fee. Once a build has to connect several systems, or several people have to act inside it, it is a Full System Build starting at $12,000.

What happens if the scope changes mid-build?

The scope is agreed before anything gets built, which is what the fixed fee protects. New features, real structural changes, and new integrations come back as their own project with their own price, and you know what a next step costs before you ask.
