Application Blueprint
Is a repeat client process costing you hours?
For established independent consultants with paying clients. A fixed-fee plan for one recurring workflow, $950, credited once against a build of the same scope.
See Practice SystemsA local expert who will set up a productivity system you can run yourself
Dugan AI is a Western Pennsylvania AI advisor for first-time founders who need a productivity system, not another tool login. I build the system on your existing accounts, validate it against real work, and hand it over. If you run an established consulting practice with paying clients, Practice Systems starts with the Application Blueprint at $950. Ownership, running costs and support are agreed in your proposal.
Hours you can take back

Who it's for
- First-time founders and operators leaving a corporate role

Ongoing support is optional. Your proposal identifies what you own, which accounts you control and what it costs to run. Website care is optional. Applications have an agreed operating plan, whether I support them or hand them over to a qualified provider. Website care is $175/month if you want it. Application operations start from $450/month per app, with infrastructure and usage listed separately.
Start with the Application Blueprint, $950. It plans one workflow before anything is built, and the fee is credited once against a build of the same scope.
No. It is an illustrative range from the numbers you enter and published bands in the site data file. It is not a valuation and not a promise. Paid work stays fixed-scope. Ownership, running costs and support are agreed in your proposal.
