I help teams bring clarity and structure to complex no-code systems. Most of my work falls into one of three types of engagement: a fixed-scope audit, a lightweight advisory role, or deeper embedded leadership. Each is built to support teams dealing with real operational pressure, where things work, but not cleanly.

🔍 Clarity Audit
Fixed-scope diagnostic - ideal first time engagement
Flat fee starting from mid four figures
See what your system is actually doing — not what you think it’s doing.
The Clarity Audit is a high-fidelity structural scan of your automation environment. We map the architecture, tradeoffs, and hidden tension points shaping your current system. You don’t get a sales pitch — you get a structural diagnosis.
Not a fix. A map. So you can stop patching and start designing with eyes open.
Who it’s for:
- Teams scaling chaotic stacks (e.g. Fusion, Make, Airtable)
- Founders building internal tools without formal architecture
- Agencies burdened by legacy systems that stall under stress
- Ops and platform leaders hitting the ceiling on auditability or collaboration
What’s included:
- A clear statement of what your system is actually optimizing for
- A model of structural tradeoffs (speed vs. quality, control vs. autonomy, etc.)
- Identification of blind spots, risk zones, and friction points
- A tension profile: where irreconcilables exist and how they’re handled (or not)
- Archetype classification for each key flow (Stabilizer, Rebuilder, Shapeshifter, etc.)
- Tailored framing of governance, rearchitecture, or clarity needs — not prescriptive plans
- PDF report + walkthrough session (optional Miro map included)
Format
- 2–4 week engagement
- Snapshot Audit (1–2 weeks): For a known flow or delimited subsystem.
- Full Audit (2–4 weeks): For systemic divergence, unknown drift, or broad architectural ambiguity.
- Inputs: interviews, documentation, system walkthroughs
- Output: visual + written report, delivered live
You don’t walk away with “insights.”
You walk away with restored structural memory — a shared map of what you’ve really built, how it behaves, and which tensions define its limits.
From there, you can decide whether to scale, stabilize, or rebuild — without guessing.

🧰 System Redesign
Ideal Post Clarity Audit - Custom Pricing
When the foundation won’t hold — rebuild with purpose.
Sometimes the audit makes it obvious: the current system isn’t salvageable.
System Redesign is a scoped engagement to re-architect your environment from the ground up — based on actual constraints, needs, and future motion.
We don’t sell best practices. We design the structure that fits your work.
Who it’s for:
- Teams scaling past their current system’s limits
- Leaders inheriting fragile or undocumented architectures
- Clients post–Clarity Audit needing a structural reset
What’s included:
- A redesigned system model aligned to your actual goals
- Defined process boundaries, roles, and orchestration layers
- A phased migration plan to move without chaos
- Updated diagrams and reference architecture
- Live walkthroughs with stakeholders
- Optional implementation support
Format
- 3–5 week engagement
- Based on audit outputs + new goals
- Delivered as system map, strategy doc, and migration path

🧱 Embedded Architect
Structure that holds while you build.
Delivery can move fast — but someone has to hold the system.
The Embedded Architect is a structural leadership role embedded inside your team.
We don’t deliver. We govern.
You bring the builders — or we can — but architectural oversight is always included.
This model supports three paths:
- Bring your own team: we embed as system architect and clarity lead
- Use a delivery partner: we govern their work to ensure coherence
- Let us bring delivery: we source trusted builders under our oversight
In all cases, we hold the structure while things move.
Who it’s for:
- Teams building fast but without architectural continuity
- Leaders juggling vendors, builders, or legacy logic
- Clients post–Clarity Audit who need ongoing structural authority
- Anyone tired of chasing systems that won’t stay aligned
What’s included:
- Embedded system governance: structural triage, tension tracking, architecture framing
- Oversight of all new delivery — internal or external
- Real-time decision support across platforms and tools
- Builder sourcing (optional, never unmanaged)
- Access via async channels, scheduled reviews, and embedded context
Format:
- Monthly or project-based engagement
- Embedded into delivery as architectural lead
- Requires clarity authority, not just advisory access
- Can scale from guidance to structural ownership
