Quick audit
A few quick questions, no website needed. An instant read-out of where your hours are probably going.
How I work
Fix the system, not the symptom.
Most businesses don’t have an AI problem. They have a system problem nobody’s had time to look at properly.
- 01
Picture your ideal Tuesday.
Before any tech, I learn how your business actually runs, and what a good week would look like for you. Then we work backwards from there.
- 02
Find where the time goes.
We map the jobs, hand-offs and follow-ups, and find the few things costing you the most hours and money.
- 03
Fix the cause, not just the problem in front of you.
The thing you call me about is usually a symptom. I fix what’s behind it, so it doesn’t turn up again next month.
- 04
Use the right tool, not the newest one.
Often it’s software you already pay for, set up properly. AI goes where it earns its keep, and nowhere else.
- 05
Help your team make the change.
The tech is the easy part. I work alongside your team until the new way feels normal, and I’m still there when things need adjusting.

The things I hear most.
“I’m doing job admin at night at the kitchen table.”
“We’re turning work away because the admin can’t keep up.”
“Every report takes me two hours after the visit.”
“It’s all in my head. If I’m away, things break.”
“Follow-ups slip, and I know we’re losing work.”
“We were about to buy a system that’s way more than we need.”
None of these is a technology problem. They’re system problems, and they’re all fixable.
Sort. Build. Keep.
Find out properly, build only what’s worth building, then keep it working. See prices.
Sort
A one-hour consultation. We go through how your week really runs and what’s costing you the most, and you leave knowing what’s worth fixing first. Sometimes the answer is “don’t build, buy this”.
Build
Starts with a deep dive into how your business works, then a fixed-price build in your own accounts. Nothing reaches your clients without a person checking it.
Keep
A 30-minute monthly check-in with a written summary, 8 hours a month of hands-on help, or help by the hour when you need it.
Proof
Training provider Commercial property manager Cleaning business
What it looks like in real businesses.
Consultancy
Record it on the drive home. The report writes itself.
About 2 hours of writing after every site visit, for more than 30 clients. Now a voice memo becomes a finished report in the consultant’s own format, numbers merged in, ready to review. Built inside the software they already use.
2 hrs → 10 minper report
~430 hrsa year, on track
Twice the groups, same trainer.
A drafting tool writes participant feedback in the trainer’s own voice. With the next phase, they expect to run four training groups at once instead of two.
Out of spreadsheets and heads.
One system for tenants, buildings and renewals, so nothing lives in spreadsheets or heads. Tenants scan a code in each building to sign in or report a maintenance problem.
Aiming for Fridays back.
At capacity, with 6 to 10 hours a week of owner admin. Now staff log each clean on their phone, property owners get their report automatically, and the inbox only shows what needs action. Goal: 6 hours of admin a week.
Start small. Grow when it’s working.
One-off
A few quick questions, 2 minutes, an instant read-out.
A one-hour consultation. You leave knowing what’s worth fixing first, and whether you need me at all.
A fixed quote for each thing we build, like a reporting tool or a system for your clients and jobs. Includes a deep-dive discovery, a one-page guide and recorded training.
After it’s built
A 30-minute call each month. You fill in a quick survey beforehand, then we cover what’s working, what isn’t, questions, training and what’s coming up. Afterwards you get a short written summary with ideas for what to improve next.
8 hours of my time every month, for fixes, changes, training and new improvements. Works out at NZ$125 an hour. Unused hours roll over to the next month. 12-month commitment, paid monthly.
No monthly commitment. Get help when something comes up: a fix, a change, a bit of training. Anything bigger is quoted in writing first.
All prices NZ$ excluding GST.
About
Hi, I’m Sammy.
I’ve spent 10+ years inside software and AI companies, on the side that makes it work for real people: setting it up, getting teams using it, and fixing it when it breaks. Now I do that for Central Otago businesses, starting with what’s actually slowing you down.
I’m a solo mum of two and an AI realist: if a spreadsheet does the job better than AI, I’ll tell you.

FAQ
You can try, and some of it you should. But good results mean knowing your process, the right tools and how to set them up. Most owners would rather spend that time running their business.
Maybe not. Sort will tell you. Plenty of what I fix is good setup and simple automation, with no AI in sight.
Because you’d be paying to maintain it forever. If something off the shelf does the job, that’s what I’ll recommend.
Start with Sort: one hour, NZ$150. You’ll know what’s worth doing and what it’ll save before you commit to more.
Most of my clients are one to five people. Small teams feel lost hours the most.
Fixed prices, plain English, and nothing goes live without you checking it.
