Early access · Buildplan · $149
A 30-minute AI conversation. You leave with a plan your dev team — or any AI builder — can actually build from. For founders shipping their first product, or in-house operators writing the spec for theirs. $149.
Early access — I personally review every plan before it ships. Money-back if it doesn't unlock a decision.
01 / Buildplan — Live
You leave with a Markdown plan: the steps a user takes, what's in and what's out, and the one decision your build unblocks. The conversation tracks what's missing, what's still a guess, and what's locked. Take it to Lovable, Bolt, your developer — or hand it back to me for a fixed-price bid.
Why not just ChatGPT?
02 / Three doors
Most buyers stop at the Buildplan. The next two stations also stand alone — for teams who already have a plan and need it built, or already have a build and need it run.
Founders with a messy idea, or in-house operators who need a spec to take to their dev team.
↳ Want it built? One checkbox in the plan sends Austin a fixed-price bid request.
For a validated workflow that needs a clean, demoable build — whether the spec came from my Buildplan, your own write-up, or a half-built prototype you want done right.
↳ Once it's shipped, real users start relying on it.
For teams whose V1 — built here or elsewhere — now has real users and needs to stay running. Hosting, security, maintenance, plus ongoing engineering judgment.
↳ Software that stays good — patched, secured, and adapting as your team grows.
Maybe you want a few hours a month of senior eyes on an architecture call. Maybe you've got one ADR you can't decide. Maybe you've got a thing that's almost-working and you just want someone to tell you what's actually broken. Email me what you're trying to do — we'll figure out together whether there's synergy, and what the right shape looks like. No deck, no Calendly, no pitch — just an email.
03 / Why this exists
Before AI, this kind of structured discovery cost $5–15k and took a week. That priced out everyone who needed it most — founders without funding, operators inside companies who needed a spec to take to their dev team, people with an idea but no PM on staff.
I packaged how I think about scope into a conversation — eight phases, a tracker that shows what's confirmed versus what's still a guess, six standing risks always probed. The AI handles the typing; the structure handles the pinning-down.
If $149 gets you a plan you can actually build from, the whole market just changed.
04 / Contact
The Buildplan covers most cases. For anything that doesn't fit — an existing prototype, a team in crisis, a workflow that's genuinely strange — send me a note.
