Get one thing off your plate.Start with two hours.

Advice or hands-on help.One focused session.
How your session works.
Agree on one focus.
Before we meet, tell me the problem, idea, or task. We agree on what we can reasonably tackle in two hours.
Work through it.
Sometimes we talk through the options. Sometimes we open your tools and work on a workflow or automation together.
Check the approach.
We question the recommendation or test what we've made against a real example. You decide what happens in your business.
Write down next steps.
You leave with a clear recommendation on the agreed focus, written next steps, and anything we create together.

Before you book: prep and scope
Before the call
- Send a few sentences about what you want to figure out or improve. We agree on one focus before you book.
- Bring the context you have: a real example, an existing workflow, or the idea you're considering.
- For hands-on work, be signed in to the tools we'll use. You connect your own accounts; I never keep your logins.
- We'll check any account or paid-tool requirements beforehand. You don't need to buy a new AI tool before we talk.
What we're agreeing to
- Two hours on one agreed focus, whether you need advice, troubleshooting, or hands-on work.
- A clear recommendation, written next steps, and any files, prompts, or workflows we create during the session.
- You review and approve any output or actions. We'll agree what your tools can do before using them.
- A larger build, further implementation, or ongoing support is scoped and priced separately. A complete system may need more than one session.

Work directly with Ian.
I'm Ian McDonald. I use AI to run my own business and build for clients. You work directly with me, whether we're talking through a decision or opening your tools together.
I built the Real AI app: $1.2M ARR, 1,600 active users, 8 months. I'll explain what we're doing and why, and I'll tell you straight when something isn't worth building.
Mike Clapper at Inclusioneer Lab started with an audit of how his business runs. It turned into a paid build.
