How we work

We don't do drive-bys.

Firebug is a retained advisory relationship, not a project shop. We embed with your team, learn your business, and stay with you as the landscape evolves. Here's what that looks like.

01
We listen first.

Every engagement starts with understanding your business — your goals, your pain points, your team's capabilities, and your appetite for change.

We don't show up with a pre-built framework. We show up with questions, then build a strategy around your actual situation.

Discovery typically covers
Current tools and workflows
Team structure and skill gaps
Biggest time sinks and bottlenecks
What you've already tried
Budget and timeline realities
02
We build a roadmap.

Based on what we learn, we create a prioritized AI integration plan — not a 50-page deck, but a clear, practical list of what to do first, what to do next, and what to ignore.

We focus on impact. What will save the most time, reduce the most friction, or unlock the most value — that's what we tackle first.

Roadmap priorities
Quick wins (this week)
High-impact builds (this month)
Strategic shifts (this quarter)
Things to watch (not yet)
03
We do the work.

This is where most consultancies disappear. We don't. We actually build the workflows, set up the tools, create the prompt systems, and integrate AI into your existing operations.

You get working solutions — not recommendations to hand off to someone else.

Implementation includes
Workflow design and automation
Tool selection and setup
Custom prompt engineering
Team onboarding and handoff
04
We stay with you.

AI moves fast. What works today might be obsolete in three months. That's why Firebug is a retained relationship — we keep monitoring the landscape, adjusting your strategy, and building new solutions as opportunities emerge.

You always have someone watching the horizon for you.

Ongoing support
Monthly strategy calls
Landscape monitoring and alerts
Async access for quick questions
Quarterly roadmap updates
What we cover

The full spectrum of AI integration.

Every organization is different. Here are the areas where Firebug clients typically see the biggest impact.

AI strategy & roadmapping

Where should AI fit in your organization? What's worth investing in and what's hype? We assess your operations, identify high-impact opportunities, and build a practical plan to get there — prioritized by effort and value.

Workflow automation

We identify repetitive, time-consuming tasks in your operations and build AI-powered workflows that handle them — from content production pipelines to data processing to client communications. You get hours back every week.

Content & communications

AI can transform how you create, distribute, and optimize content — but only if it's set up right. We build systems for drafting, editing, publishing, and repurposing content that maintain your voice while dramatically increasing output.

Tool evaluation & integration

The AI tool landscape is overwhelming — new products launch daily, many of them overlapping. We cut through the noise, evaluate what's actually worth using for your specific needs, and handle the setup and integration.

Custom AI agents

For organizations ready to go deeper, we design and build custom AI agents that handle specific business processes — research, data analysis, customer interactions, internal knowledge management, and more.

Team training & enablement

AI tools are only as good as the people using them. We run hands-on workshops that teach your team how to use AI effectively in their specific roles — not generic "intro to ChatGPT" sessions, but practical training tied to their actual work.

Pricing

Simple, transparent, built for the long haul.

Three ways to work together. Most clients start with Spark and move to Flame once they see what's possible.

Common questions

Things people ask before we start.

What kinds of organizations do you work with?
Nonprofits, agencies, startups, small businesses, and teams within larger organizations that don't have dedicated AI or tech resources. If you know AI matters but don't have someone on your team to figure it out and build it — we're probably a good fit.
How many clients do you take on?
I keep my roster small — intentionally. Every client gets real attention, not a watered-down version of a stretched-thin consultant.
What if I don't know where to start?
That's exactly why we exist. Most clients come to us with a vague sense that they should be doing more with AI but no clear picture of where to begin. The Spark tier is designed for exactly this — we figure it out together.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT ourselves?
ChatGPT is a tool. We help you figure out which tools to use, how to integrate them into your actual workflows, and how to build systems that compound over time. The difference between using AI casually and using it strategically is enormous — that's the gap we fill.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No long-term contracts. We work month to month. If we're not providing value, you shouldn't be paying us. That said, the relationship gets more valuable over time as we learn your business.
