Business Beaker
The Automation Build Desk
Turn your weekly chore into a tool you run.
Reports, invoice chasing, lead routing, reconciliations. We scope the task with a fixed quote, build a small tested tool, and hand it over.
For small businesses with 2 to 50 staff. After the scope, you decide whether to build.
How it works
Scope, build, handover.
We write it down
We map one task in writing: what goes in, what comes out, every rule it follows, and acceptance criteria that are either true or false. You get a fixed quote and decide whether to build.
We build and test it
We build a small tool to those criteria, with a test for each one. A reviewer checks it before it reaches you.
You run it
You get the tool, its tests, and plain instructions. You run it once on your own sample, sign off against the criteria, and keep it.
What you get
Small tested tools for repeated tasks, built to criteria you sign.
A fixed quote first
A written scope of your task and a fixed price, before anything is built.
Criteria you can check
Acceptance criteria that are either true or false, each with its own test.
A tool you run alone
The tool, its tests, and a handover written so your team can run it without us.
Changes at a fixed price
Small changes later, each tested against the original criteria plus the new one.
You own every decision the tool supports.
Prices
Flat prices, agreed in writing before any work starts.

What we don't do
The same four limits on every job.
- No passwordsWe never ask for or keep your passwords. A tool reads an export you make, or access you set up yourself.
- No hostingWe don't host the tool or your data. It runs on your computer. We work from sample files with real names and amounts swapped out, and delete them when you ask.
- No regulated dataWe don't work with health records, payment card data, or data about minors.
- No promised outcomesThe tool does what the written criteria say. What it saves depends on how you use it, so we don't promise results.
FAQ
01What do I get for $250?
One task mapped in writing: what goes in, what comes out, every rule it follows, and acceptance criteria for each. You also get a fixed quote for the build, sized by how many inputs, outputs, rules, and connections it has. Then you decide whether to build.
02What do you need from me?
Sample files from the task with real names and amounts swapped out, and one person who decides what right looks like and signs off.
03How long does it take?
A scope takes 3 business days, a build 7 and a change 2, counted from when we have your sample files.
04Can it work with the software we already use?
It works from an export you make, or from limited access you set up yourself. We never take passwords.
05Does AI write the code?
AI helps draft it. Every tool is tested against the criteria you signed, and a reviewer checks it before handover.
06What if I need a change later?
Each change is $150 and is tested against the original criteria plus the new one. Care plans include changes every month.
