> flat-price projects; clients own all code, data, and accounts.

## What Ryan does

- Custom business systems: customer intake, admin dashboards, payments (Stripe),
  transactional email (Resend), shipping (Shippo), uploads, reporting, native iOS apps.
- Foundation Sprints (30 days): vendor/stack audits, killing duplicate SaaS spend,
  putting domains/reviews/email lists in the client's name, first automations.
- AI operations: approval-first agents that draft follow-ups and content, chase
  reviews, mine leads from form spam, and push daily operational briefings.
  Guardrails: human approval before anything customer-facing, audit logs,
  revocable access, industry compliance rules checked automatically.
- Operator retainers: monitoring, updates, monthly numbers, new automations.
