Pay for the build,
not the build time.

I'm a working IBEW Master Electrician using Claude as a second tool belt. You don't pay your electrician by the minute. Don't pay your AI builder that way either.

questions, asked & answered

Why fixed-fee instead of hourly?

You don't pay your electrician by the minute. The value is the speed, not the time. If something that takes an agency four weeks takes me four days, that mastery is what you're paying for — same way a master tradesperson gets paid for what they know.

Can a small business afford this?

The Strategy Hour is $300 — about one billable electrician hour. Most clients start there to test the waters. Workflow in a Week is $1,500. The full Custom AI Tool tier is $5,000, where most agencies quote $25,000+ for the same scope.

What's actually delivered?

Working software, not slides. Every fixed-fee tier ships you code, docs, and a walk-through video so you can keep going on your own. No retainer, no recurring fees, no agency lock-in.

Are you a real electrician?

IBEW Local 369 Master Electrician. Still working the trade. ChargeRight (680K+ views) is the AI side project that grew up. AI didn't replace the wire-pulling — it added a second tool belt.
