Live in 30 days~40% faster estimate → invoiceStripe payments + guardrails

Company

Home services operator (pre-seed), HVAC and plumbing focus.

Problem

Needed production-ready intake and scheduling without hiring a full in-house team. Lost after-hours calls, and estimates/invoices/reminders lived in spreadsheets.

Approach

Operator-led, 30-day build with weekly demos and guardrails.

Weekly demos

• Scoped intake, scheduling, estimates → invoices, and Stripe payments.

• Prebuilt scaffolds for auth, RBAC, observability, and CI/CD with preview deploys.

• Guardrails: PII handling, audit trails, rollback paths; templated home services intents.

• Fixture-driven QA and incident runbooks to reduce post-launch risk.

• Post-launch runbook plus OnTask ladder for teams that prefer to start on Starter/Plus.

• Clear owner thread for priorities; Friday demos with diffs and outcomes.

Outcome

Live in 30 days
  • Single agent workflow with dispatcher guardrails, live in 30 days.
  • ~40% faster estimate-to-invoice handoff; cleaner collections via Stripe.
  • Confidence to scale: observability, CI, and playbooks reduced post-launch incidents.
  • Pricing ladder clarity: Starter/Plus for teams, operator-led pilot when volume grows.

What we delivered

  • AI-assisted intake routing into the calendar with redaction and audit trails.
  • Scheduling, estimates, invoices, and payments in one flow; branded comms and reminders.
  • Runbooks, SLOs, incident playbooks; handoff of code, prompts, policies, and tests.
