Your first build
Start with one costly problem.
$3,000 USD/mo for a 3-month first term: $9,000 USD in retainer fees. Then month to month.
Billed in USD at your card's local exchange rate.
We start with the workflow you feel every week. Bring the tools you use, an example of the manual work, and the person who knows how it gets done.
An example: a sales follow-up dashboard
Your team uses a CRM, but you still ask each rep which deals need attention. A first build could bring open deals, last activity and next actions into one view, using the CRM you already have.
A useful success measure: can you identify the deals needing a follow-up without asking each rep or exporting a spreadsheet?
Illustrative scope, not a fixed package. The systems, data access and workflow determine what fits your first build.
The first system goes live in weeks. The rest of the initial term is for keeping it running, improving it in use and working through the next priority, one system at a time. You meet with me every two weeks.
You own the code, data and accounts.
I coach you or your team to maintain and improve the system with AI, so you can keep working on it yourself.
Not an agency. Not a SaaS login. One person, accountable for whether it holds up.
Build
Shipped every week against the step that costs the most.
Approve
A person signs off before anything writes to your systems.
Run
Kept accurate after launch, not handed over and forgotten.
For bigger teams: Embedded Operator
$10,000 USD/mo
3-month initial term, then month to month. Billed in USD at your card's local exchange rate.
Who this is for
Futureman Labs offers an Embedded Operator retainer at $10,000 USD/mo for owner-operated businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, Airtable and disconnected tools.
Seven-figure companies growing toward eight figures, with a team and physical-world operations: construction, manufacturing, distribution and wholesale, property, ecommerce ops. The business runs on spreadsheets, an Airtable base someone built two years ago, WhatsApp threads, and a CRM no one reads.
Want one problem solved first? The Build Retainer is $3,000 USD/mo.
What gets built
Each of these is running in a client business today. The figures come from the case studies.
- A CRM that fits your sales processEvery lead, call and deal in one place, with follow-ups that don't depend on someone remembering.247 named contacts captured in four months
- A dashboard you'll actually openLeads, pipeline, stock and team activity on one screen, pulled from the tools you already run.$60M+ pipeline and 224 deals reconciled
- Operations appsPurchase orders, warehouse tasks and job tracking. The work currently living on a whiteboard or in one person's head.1,300 tasks completed, whole warehouse on it
What comes with Embedded Operator
- A weekly call with you and your team, and a build shipped most weeks
- A sales assistant over your inbox and CRM that proposes updates for a person to approve
- Follow-up email sequences by lead type, so the rep stops answering the same questions
- WhatsApp tools your crews already know how to use
- Coaching for you or your team to maintain and improve the project with AI
- You own the stack: your repos, your data, your accounts
- Direct access to David, the person who ships the code
What it is not
- A SaaS subscription you log into and configure yourself
- An agency with account managers between you and the work
- A fixed-scope project with a handover and a goodbye
The first month
- 01Map
Week one: where time and money leak. The spreadsheets, the Airtable base, the WhatsApp threads, the CRM nobody reads.
- 02Build
Weeks two to four: the first system ships against the step that costs the most. Small, reliable, in production.
- 03Approve
A person signs off before anything writes to your CRM, accounting or inventory. Automation removes the typing, not the judgment.
- 04Run
Every week after that: ship the next build, keep the last one accurate, and answer the questions the business is asking.
