THE PROBLEM
DOESN’T FIX ITSELF.
Email automation fails when trigger logic and customer state are treated as afterthoughts. A cart reminder that keeps sending after purchase or a welcome flow colliding with a promotion creates more friction than value.
We design the flow from the event outward: what starts it, who should qualify, what must suppress it, what information the message needs and what action should end or change the sequence.
Copy is part of implementation, but architecture comes first. A polished email sent to the wrong person at the wrong moment is still a broken system.
Klaviyo defines a flow as an automated sequence triggered by a specific action and documents event-triggered flows such as abandoned cart and post-purchase.
The value is not simply sending more email. It is matching trigger, eligibility, timing, message and exit conditions.
DEFINED
WORK.
The scope is written down before you pay. Tool choice follows the failure point, not the other way around.
Configure triggers, filters, delays, segmentation and sequence.
Write and implement included copy, dynamic content and links using available customer/store data.
Test entry and suppression logic and hand off reporting/optimization recommendations.
What you get
Select the level of intervention.
Pick the package that matches the problem as you understand it now. Scope, limits and exclusions are visible before payment.
Confirm the scope. Skip the pitch.
Scope, access and implementation terms are confirmed before the engagement begins.
Complete intake. We confirm scope.
Access is reviewed, scope is checked against the issue you described, and work begins after the start window is confirmed.
If the post-purchase intake shows that the package you selected cannot reasonably address the issue described, we will pause before substantive work begins and tell you. You can choose the appropriate scope, an alternative solution, or the applicable refund path instead of discovering the mismatch after the project is underway.
START WITH
THE RIGHT SCOPE.
Start with a $500 AI Automation Audit when the problem needs diagnosis. Defined implementation starts at $2,500, AI agents and integrations start at $5,000, and connected Business AI Systems start at $10,000. Managed and enterprise work is scoped separately.
AI Automation Audit
Starting at $500Architecture and systems audit that maps the process, bottlenecks, integrations, risk and highest-value implementation path.
See engagement ↗Automation Sprint
Starting at $2,500A bounded implementation sprint that takes one meaningful workflow from manual or fragmented to working software.
See engagement ↗AI Agent / Integration
Starting at $5,000A production AI agent or integration connected to real systems, business rules, data, approvals and human escalation.

See engagement ↗Enterprise AI Architecture
Custom engagementArchitecture and implementation for organizations moving from isolated AI experiments to governed, connected operating systems.
See engagement ↗WE DON’T START
WITH TOOLS.
We start with the failure point. A plugin, AI model, analytics tag or automation platform is only useful if it improves the system around the business outcome.
Obsidian is AI-powered, but premium work is not an excuse to hand the customer unreviewed generated output. AI may accelerate diagnostics, research, implementation candidates, data analysis and repetitive testing. The purchased scope still defines what gets delivered.
AI MAKES THE WORK FASTER. SYSTEM DESIGN MAKES IT USEFUL.
That operating principle is why the handoff matters. You should know what changed, what owns the next step and what still sits outside the purchased scope.
You keep ownership of your site, accounts, data and delivered work subject to third-party licenses.
Temporary staff, collaborator or role-based access is preferred. Raw passwords should never be emailed.
Temporary access can be revoked after completion. Access instructions are delivered before implementation begins.
External platform and API fees remain yours unless the package explicitly includes them.

Describe the process, bottleneck, system or operating problem you want to improve.
Architecture
We determine whether the right starting point is an audit, a bounded sprint, an agent/integration or a larger business system.
Scope
The outcome, integrations, boundaries, access, milestones and third-party dependencies are written down before implementation.
Access
Use platform-native collaborator, staff or temporary access. Do not email raw passwords.
Build
Implementation is tested against representative cases, including failure paths and human escalation where required.
Ownership
Documentation, monitoring expectations and the next system decision are handed off instead of leaving unexplained automation behind.
QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU BUY.
01Which flow should I build first?+
For ecommerce, welcome, abandoned cart and post-purchase are common foundations; Essential Flow lets you choose one.
02Is Klaviyo required?+
Klaviyo is the primary supported ecommerce platform; other platforms can be considered if capabilities fit the same scope.
03How many emails?+
Essential up to 3; Growth up to 9 across three automations; Lifecycle Engine up to 18 across six.
04Do you guarantee revenue?+
No. Revenue depends on list quality, traffic, product, offer, deliverability and behavior.
05Are Klaviyo fees included?+
No. Email/SMS platform and sending fees belong to the customer.
06Can you build abandoned cart logic?+
Yes, using the relevant checkout/cart trigger and suppression logic supported by the integration.
07Will you design templates?+
Practical branded implementation using existing assets is included; a full custom email design system is separate.
08What happens after launch?+
We test the flow, document logic and enable reporting; ongoing plans add optimization.
09Can I keep existing campaigns?+
Yes. Implementation is designed to coexist with existing sends where platform controls allow it.
10How is this service priced?+
An AI Automation Audit starts at $500, an Automation Sprint starts at $2,500, AI agent/integration work starts at $5,000, and connected Business AI Systems start at $10,000. Managed and enterprise work is scoped separately.
BUY ENOUGH
INTERVENTION.
Choose based on the number of customer states you need to automate. One well-designed flow is enough for a focused problem; a lifecycle system needs more triggers, suppression logic, copy and testing.
Essential Flow is the smallest defined intervention. It is designed for a buyer who can describe the problem clearly and whose environment does not need a broad investigation. Its target is 3–5 business days. The boundary matters: Campaign calendar, Platform fees remain outside that purchase rather than appearing later as surprise work.
Growth Automation is the recommended defined-scope package because it adds enough diagnostic and implementation room to deal with the most common uncertainty around email automation services. It is not “better” because the card is larger; it is better when the business needs the additional scope described above.
Lifecycle Engine is for the case where the problem is broader, more technical or more urgent. Buy it when the additional investigation and implementation allowance is likely to be used. Do not buy it simply because it is the highest tier.
Scope is confirmed before substantive work begins, so the selected engagement matches the process, systems and implementation depth the business actually needs.
If intake shows that your selected package cannot reasonably address the issue you described, the Scope Match Promise applies before substantive work begins. The purpose of fixed pricing is to make the decision clearer—not to hide a scope dispute behind checkout.
THE NEXT CUSTOMER ACTION SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON SOMEONE REMEMBERING TO SEND AN EMAIL.
Bring the process, system or bottleneck. We will identify the smallest engagement that can create meaningful evidence, define the scope, and build from there.

OPERATING GUIDE.
A practical reference for Email Automation Services: diagnosis, implementation, security, measurement, ownership and the decisions that determine whether the work remains useful after launch.
What this service is
For Email Automation Services, what this service is means the specific operating capability, not a vague promise of improvement. Email automation fails when trigger logic and customer state are treated as afterthoughts. A cart reminder that keeps sending after purchase or a welcome flow colliding with a promotion creates more friction than value. This is why the work should be framed around a specific business path rather than a generic promise to “optimize” the site, campaign, system or workflow.
A practical review asks what happens before the intervention, what changes during implementation and what a person can verify afterward. In this service, a representative action is to map the purchased event, audience and desired next action before writing messages. The expected output is flow architecture. That sequence keeps the scope concrete and gives the owner something more useful than a list of tool settings.
The right fit is often ecommerce stores with no welcome/cart automation, while it is not a good shortcut for daily campaign management. Which flow should I build first?

Measurement plan
For Email Automation Services, measurement plan means the baseline, event definitions, completion criteria and review cadence. We design the flow from the event outward: what starts it, who should qualify, what must suppress it, what information the message needs and what action should end or change the sequence. This is why the work should be framed around a specific business path rather than a generic promise to “optimize” the site, campaign, system or workflow.
