What happens next

The audit starts with a short conversation, not an invoice.

The call is short, free and shallow on purpose. It works out whether this is a problem I can actually solve, and whether the €450 audit is worth doing at all. Nothing needs preparing beforehand, and rough notes are fine.

What €450 buys

The short version of the audit.

The audit runs across the servers, the site, the data and the automations between them. It ends in a written document rather than a meeting. You know the €450 before any of it starts, and it does not move once the work is under way.

From this message to a fixed price.

The audit works out what is wrong and what putting it right would take. What follows is a build or a retainer, depending on what the audit finds and what you can spend, and sometimes it is neither. If I cannot help, I would rather say so in twenty-five minutes than after you have paid for an audit.

The calendar

Twenty-five minutes, then you decide.

Pick a time that suits you, and the confirmation carries a Google Meet link. You get a straight answer on whether the audit is worth doing, including the case where the answer is that it is not. If it is worth doing, the scope and the fee come to you in writing before any work starts.

Common Questions

Questions this usually comes down to

The same working day, and that is the promise rather than an average. Booking a time on the calendar confirms immediately, so it is the faster route if you already know you want to talk.
The call is free and the audit is the paid step. The call is deliberately shallow: it establishes whether this is a problem I can solve, and nothing more than that. The audit is the deep version, and it is the only step that produces findings.
One of three things: a build, a retainer, or nothing at all. Which one depends on what the audit finds and on what you can spend, and the €450 credits in full against either of the first two. If it turns out to be nothing, the document is still yours to use however you like.
There is nothing to prepare, and you do not need a brief. Come with a sense of what your business does, what is not holding up, and where you want to be in a year. Rough notes are enough, and I will ask the rest.
Not much, because the work is remote by default and always has been. If the overlap were too thin to run a system properly, I would say so on the call.
Most people arrive with a situation rather than a specification, and that is the normal starting point, not a gap to apologise for. Nothing needs naming in advance, and the answer is sometimes that the audit is not worth doing yet. If you would rather read ahead first, the full FAQ answers the questions that come up most.
