| # | Workflow | Worth | Call |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Monthly board and lender pack | Build first | |
| 02 | Collections follow-up | Build | |
| 03 | Quote and pipeline follow-up | Later | |
| 04 | Pricing and board decisions | Clear no |
Management decides pricing, terms, and what goes to the board. The system prepares the numbers.
Three workflows we look at first. Each one is slow, repeated every week, and safe to hand to a system with a person approving.
One week on one workflow. For a portfolio company, the week usually starts with the board pack or collections. We work with the CFO or COO, look at the accounting system and the CRM, and put a dollar number on the delay.
Credited in full toward a Build Sprint that starts within 30 days.

We describe what we build, not a certification we hold. Your compliance team reviews the rules and the log before go-live.
We build on the tools you already use: accounting systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Xero, the CRM, the bank feed, spreadsheets, and email. The Assessment confirms which ones we can reach and how.
What your compliance officer will ask before you use AIAnything that goes out in your name, changes a record, or moves money waits for your yes.
Each step is logged with its inputs, its source, and who approved it.
The workflow reads only this company's systems. It never pulls data from the sponsor or other portfolio companies, and nothing is used to train a model.
Santos Hernandez was the founding product hire and later VP Data at ZBD: $0 to $12M ARR, the EU's first MiCAR approval, and money transmitter licenses in 26 states and D.C. Before that: American Express, Bank of America, Vanguard, Wells Fargo, and Discover. The person you talk to builds it.
Meet the founderWith Ship AI Studio, the first step is the AI Assessment: $1,500 for one week. A Build Sprint is $5,000 flat for one workflow or agent, live in two weeks. AI Operations is $999 a month to keep it running. The Assessment fee is credited in full toward a Build Sprint that starts within 30 days.
In one week we review one workflow with your team. You get a map of where the hours go, what the fix is worth in dollars, whether a workflow or an agent fits, a ranked plan with the approval points, and a fixed Build Sprint scope or a clear reason not to build.
Either. An operating partner can introduce us, and the company's CFO or COO owns the workflow. The same published prices apply.
Yes, if one workflow in the plan is slow and repeatable, such as reporting or collections. The Assessment takes one week, so the readout arrives early in the plan.
We build on the tools you already use: accounting systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Xero, the CRM, the bank feed, spreadsheets, and email. The Assessment confirms which ones we can reach and how.
No. The Assessment puts a dollar number on the workflow before you spend more. If the number is too small to pay for a build, the readout says so and you stop there.
