AI Consulting.
Custom AI for SMB founders.
Custom AI work for SMBs. AI strategy, workflow automation, RAG agents, self-improving systems, team training. Three packages, scoped on the call, founder-delivered. If your AI question is bigger than “make me citable,” it lands here.
Three packages
Start small. Go deep.
Each one includes the last.
Every package reads the same way: the problem it solves, what I build, and what you walk away with. Pricing is scoped on the call, so you only pay for the work you actually need.
- 01Starter
Starter
async delivery · scoped on the call
- Problem
- You know AI could take work off your plate. You do not know which work, or where to start.
- Solution
- AI audits of how you work now. Tailored automations built for the tasks that repeat. Delivered async, no standing meetings to sit through.
- Result
- A short list of automations running against real work, and hours back on the tasks you used to do by hand.
Scope my Starter planIncludes
- AI audits of your current workflows
- Tailored workflow automations
- Vendor and tool selection
- Async delivery
- 02Growth
Growth
bi-weekly calls · scoped on the call
- Problem
- The quick automations helped. Now you want AI that knows your business and does more than one task.
- Solution
- A RAG agent grounded in your own documents. Customized multi-step workflows. Content creation. Specialized agents for specific jobs. We meet every two weeks to steer.
- Result
- AI that answers from your data, drafts your content, and runs workflows end to end, on a cadence that keeps it moving.

Premium
on-call meetings · scoped on the call
- Problem
- You want AI that improves on its own, and a clear view of what it is doing at any moment.
- Solution
- A personalized dashboard over your AI systems. An agentic framework that measures itself and self-improves. Loop-engineering so the system sharpens each cycle. I am on call when you need me.
- Result
- AI that tightens its own loops and reports its own results. The most hands-on tier, for work that cannot wait.

Not sure which one · book the call and we settle it together
How working together goes
One call to shipped.
Five steps.
The same path every engagement runs, whatever package you land on. No SDR, no handoff, no surprise scope. You always know what happens next.
- 01
Book the 30-min call
Tell me what you are trying to do with AI. No prep, no deck, no obligation.
- 02
We audit your current workflows
I map where AI fits and where it does not. Honest about both, out loud, on the call.
- 03
Scoped proposal with fixed deliverables
A written scope. Fixed deliverables, a named package, and a clear line on exactly what ships.
- 04
Build and ship
I build and hand off. Cadence follows your package: async on Starter, bi-weekly on Growth, on-call on Premium.
- 05
Iterate and expand
We tighten what is running and add what is next. On Premium, the system self-improves on its own loop.
The honest comparison
The packages, an agency,
and doing nothing.
No spin. Here is how founder-delivered packages stack up against hiring an agency and against the option most people actually pick, which is putting it off.
| The packages | Hiring an agency | Doing nothing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | The founder who scoped it, start to ship. | A junior you never met, three accounts deep. | You, at 11pm, still copy-pasting. |
| Speed | Async or bi-weekly. Work ships between calls. | A kickoff deck lands in week three. | Next quarter. Same as last quarter. |
| What you get | Automations and agents running against real work. | A strategy slide and a retainer invoice. | The same manual tasks, on repeat. |
| Cost shape | Scoped to the work. You see it before you commit. | A monthly retainer whether they ship or not. | Free, until you count the hours. |
| AI depth | RAG, specialized agents, self-improving loops. | Whatever their one AI hire read last week. | A ChatGPT tab and good intentions. |
| When it improves | Every cycle. Premium tightens its own loop. | When you email and ask. | It does not. |
Why this practice
Measured, not claimed.
Most SMB-focused AI consulting is either too generic (a 90-day “digital transformation” deck that says nothing) or too enterprise (a Big-4 firm charging enterprise rates for the same deck). SABS sits in between: founder-delivered, three named packages, no SDR, no junior analyst.
The frameworks are built on machine-learning fundamentals and measured with the statistical methods econometrics uses, so results are shown, not asserted. Read the Notebook for how I think before you book.
Before you book
Three fair
questions.
- Which package fits me?
- Start with the problem, not the tier. If you want a few automations off your plate, that is Starter. If you want AI grounded in your data plus a steering cadence, that is Growth. If you want a self-improving system and me on call, that is Premium. We settle it on the call.
- What happens on the first call?
- Thirty minutes. You tell me what you are trying to do with AI. I audit where it fits out loud, flag where it does not, and tell you which package matches. You leave with a clear next step, not a pitch.
- How is this different from Citably?
- Citably is the productized GEO service for B2B SaaS: getting your site cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. AI Consulting covers custom AI work, for any SMB. If your question is bigger than “make me citable,” it lands here. Citably lives at citably.co.

Bring the actual problem.
We scope from there.
Tell me what you’re trying to do with AI. If it’s GEO for B2B SaaS, you’ll leave the call with a Citably tier scoped. If it’s anything else AI, you’ll leave with a Starter, Growth, or Premium package scoped. 30 minutes.
