How it compares

Senior operator economics — without the agency or full-time hire.

Hiring a Head of Ops
$180k+ / yr

Plus benefits, ramp time, and risk of mis-hire.

Boutique AI agency
$15k–$40k / mo

Sales deck, junior bench, recurring meetings about meetings. They charge for theater.

Autonomous Methods
$2.5k–$3.5k / mo

Senior operator, fixed scope, no handoff risk. You work directly with the builder — no account manager in between.

Why fixed pricing?+

Hourly bills reward slow work. Fixed scope keeps me focused on the outcome — and lets you budget without surprises.

What's not included?+

Third-party software (OpenAI, Anthropic, Zapier, etc.) is billed directly to you. I'll recommend the leanest stack that solves the problem — no inflated tool stacks.

Do you offer equity / revenue share?+

Occasionally, for early-stage founder-led companies where the fit is strong. Ask on a call.

What if it's not a fit?+

I'll say so on the first call and point you somewhere better. No pressure, no follow-up sequence.
