Websites and landing pages
Human problem. A business needs a credible place online, and the current page is a placeholder or an old template that no longer explains the offer.
Possible output. A responsive website or landing page with a clear content structure, contact capture, and basic search metadata, agreed as a fixed-scope build.
Include in the brief. The pages you need, the audience, your existing brand and content, domains, and any examples you like.

Web applications
Human problem. A core process runs through email and shared files, with no shared workflow or reliable status.
Possible output. A working web application with user journeys, data model, integrations, milestones, risks, and acceptance tests agreed before building.
Include in the brief. The users and jobs to be done, today's workaround, must-have integrations, reporting needs, constraints, and who owns the data.

Mobile apps
Human problem. A workflow needs to happen away from a desk, and the current process is a phone call or a photo sent to someone.
Possible output. A mobile MVP for one core workflow, cross-platform where it fits, with distribution, testing, and store requirements scoped first.
Include in the brief. Platform preference, devices, the core job, offline needs, notifications, accounts, and how you plan to distribute it.

Desktop tools
Human problem. A small local task involves repetitive file handling or a utility that only works on one person's machine.
Possible output. A working desktop utility covering platform, inputs and outputs, packaging, update path, offline limits, and support boundaries.
Include in the brief. Operating systems, file types, sample inputs without private data, installation policy, volume, and who will maintain it.

Dashboards and admin tools
Human problem. Operational answers are trapped in separate spreadsheets and tools, so nobody has one reliable view of the work.
Possible output. A working dashboard or admin tool scoped around the decisions, data sources, permissions, refresh, and rollout you need.
Include in the brief. The decisions the view must support, its users, current sources, update frequency, access rules, and must-have filters.

API and service integrations
Human problem. Two services should share data, but staff export files or retype records because the systems do not talk.
Possible output. A working integration with field mapping, an authentication approach that excludes secrets, retries, reconciliation, and acceptance tests.
Include in the brief. The systems and APIs involved, direction and frequency of data, identifiers, ownership, failure expectations, and any access limits.

Agentic business workflows
Human problem. A routine process crosses an inbox, a spreadsheet, and a business system, with people copying the same facts between them.
Possible output. A working agent workflow with tool boundaries, human checkpoints, exception handling, and a testable rollback path, built as a separately agreed project.
Include in the brief. The steps, systems, who approves what, known exceptions, rough volume, and which decisions must stay human.

AI assistants and knowledge search
Human problem. Policies, product details, and past work are scattered, so people ask the same questions or rely on outdated answers.
Possible output. A working assistant or search experience on one channel with approved sources, citation rules, human escalation, an evaluation set, and a maintenance plan.
Include in the brief. Content sources, who may see what, typical questions, freshness needs, acceptable answer format, and the cost of a wrong answer.

E-commerce
Human problem. Products are sold through messages or a page that cannot take payment, so orders are retyped and stock is unreliable.
Possible output. A storefront on an existing or new platform with product, payment, tax, shipping, and fulfilment decisions agreed before launch.
Include in the brief. Products and variants, payment provider, shipping and tax rules, inventory source, order notifications, and the platform you prefer.

Data, reporting, and document processing
Human problem. Invoices, forms, or exports arrive as files and someone retypes the fields or assembles the same report by hand.
Possible output. A working pipeline with a field schema, validation rules, schedules, failure alerts, an exception queue, and a cleanup path.
Include in the brief. The document or export types, fields needed, sources, volume, validation rules, retention limits, and what a human must confirm.

Business audits
Human problem. A process feels slow or expensive, but nobody can point to where the waits, rework, and handoffs actually happen.
Possible output. The optional $29 written workflow audit: a process map, bottleneck review, automation plan with human control points, acceptance criteria, and a staged roadmap. Larger operational reviews are scoped as a project.
Include in the brief. One real process in your own words, the steps, systems, exceptions, volume, and what you would like to improve.

Custom ideas
Human problem. The idea does not fit a standard category: scheduling and dispatch, a prototype, a migration, research, or something new.
Possible output. A scoped proposal for that specific idea, including deliverables, acceptance criteria, timeline, target completion date, and price before implementation.
Include in the brief. The outcome you want, who it is for, the constraints, examples you like, and the date you are aiming for.
