How I help

Every engagement is different, but these are the kinds of conversations I end up in most often. If your situation does not fit neatly into one of these, that is normal. Tell me what is going on and we will figure it out.

Tech second opinion

A clear read on the tool, proposal, or technology question in front of you.

Best for: When the picture feels messy and you want someone experienced to look at it with you before you commit money, time, or staff attention.

What you get

  • A conversation where you talk, I listen, and we get to the actual question
  • A close look at the current tools, the proposal, or the decision on the table
  • A written recommendation in plain language — priorities, tradeoffs, and what to do next

Is AI worth it?

A grounded read on where AI can actually save time in your business, and where it is not ready yet.

Best for: When you keep hearing AI will change everything and want a plainspoken answer about what is worth trying now.

What you get

  • A conversation about how your team actually spends its week
  • An honest map of where AI can help today, where it is not ready, and where it is a bad fit
  • A short list of two or three things worth trying, and the ones to skip
Ask about AI for your business

Automate the manual work

A focused pass on one recurring workflow that is absorbing too much manual effort each week.

Best for: When the same steps keep happening by hand and you want to fix one before deciding whether to do more.

What you get

  • A walkthrough of the current process
  • One clear place to start, chosen together
  • A working prototype or a first piece of real automation, with notes on how to keep it running

Website tune-up

A plain-language pass for businesses whose site no longer explains what they do well.

Best for: When the business sounds stronger in person than it does on the homepage.

What you get

  • A pass on the homepage: what it says, and what it asks the reader to do next
  • Tighter service descriptions and page structure, so someone can understand the business in ninety seconds
  • A punch list of small changes I can make, or a clear brief for a rebuild

Software advice

Outside help for software comparisons, sales calls, and contract questions before you commit.

Best for: When the options all sound alike and you want someone on your side before you sign.

What you get

  • A short list of what matters most for your business
  • A plain-English comparison of the options
  • Questions to ask, risks to watch, and negotiation points before you sign

Who I work with

Small and mid-sized businesses on the South Shore — trades and construction, retail, restaurants and hospitality, charter and marine services, professional services (accountants, attorneys, real estate, financial planners), local manufacturers, and non-healthcare nonprofits. If your business doesn't quite fit that list, ask anyway — I'd rather say so than guess.

Start small, then decide.

The point is to get to something useful quickly, not to build a bigger engagement than you need.
