Field research for the work worth automating.

We study one business grind at a time — count what it really costs — then build the n8n workflow that ends it. Real cited sources, plain language, no hype.

We don’t just write up the grind — we build the system that removes it. Here’s the stack we build on.

Our build stack: Claude Cowork, Claude Desktop and Claude Code do the engineering; n8n runs the automation we hand over. You own the result.

The method

How it works

Three steps, from a published field report anyone can read to a working build running on your own stack.

  1. 01

    Study the grind

    We pick one niche and one job it repeats every week, cost it from real cited sources, and publish the field report. Free to read.

  2. 02

    Ship the build

    Every report ends in the working automation that removes that job, shown as a labelled schematic. You see how it works before we ever speak.

  3. 03

    Make it yours

    If that grind is yours, we rebuild the same shape on your stack and hand it over, documented. You own it — and we stay honest about what it does and doesn't.
