Discovery Session

A focused, 60-minute conversation about your business, your technology and what you need. We listen to what's working, what's not, and what's keeping you up at night. We'll discuss your goals, obstacles, resources and timeline so we can build a plan that meets you where you are.

Afterward, you get a written report with clear priorities and actionable recommendations. We're here to help you implement the plan, but it's your plan, so there is no obligation or commitment. If you've got a trusted vendor or IT people to help, excellent! If not, we're available and ready.

What's Included

  • 60-minute structured call (phone or video)
  • Written report with prioritized recommendations
  • Breakdown of what you can handle yourself vs. what needs a specialist
  • List of recommended technologiesf
  • Cost estimates and clear next steps
As Needed

Project Work

Quoted per project

When something needs to get done — set up, built, fixed, or replaced — we scope it out, give you a clear price, and either do the work ourselves or direct your team through it. Every project is documented so your team can manage it going forward.

When nothing off-the-shelf fits, we can build it. Custom automations, internal tools, prototypes — whatever your business actually needs.

Things I Help With

  • AI tools — figuring out what's real and setting up what works
  • Backup and disaster recovery — so a bad day doesn't end your business
  • Hardware and equipment purchasing — the right gear at the right price
  • Software selection — cutting through the noise to find what fits
  • Self-hosting — when owning your own tools makes more sense
  • Custom tools and automation — built for how your business actually works
  • Security basics — passwords, access control, keeping the bad guys out
  • Staff training and plain-language documentation
Follow-On Work

Scaling & Productionization

Quoted per project

A proof-of-concept that works is just the beginning. The harder challenge — where most projects stall — is turning a scrappy prototype into something a team can rely on. That means hosting it properly, keeping it updated, securing it, and connecting it to the rest of your systems.

This is where 15 years of professional software engineering makes the difference. We'll take your working idea and make it production-ready: stable, maintainable, and built to grow.

What This Covers

  • Move from local machine to a real server or hosted environment
  • Distribute tools to a team with proper access control
  • Connect your AI to more services and data sources
  • Add authentication so the right people get in and the wrong ones don't
  • Set up deployment pipelines so updates don't break things
  • Harden security and document everything for handoff

Ongoing Advisory

$500 - $1,500 / quarter

Technology doesn't stand still. New AI tools launch every week, subscriptions creep up, and small problems turn into expensive ones if nobody's watching. Regular check-ins keep you ahead of all of it.

This isn't a support contract — it's having a technology advisor on call who knows your business, your setup, and your goals. Someone you can call before you make a decision instead of after.

What's Included

  • Quarterly technology review and planning
  • New tool and AI evaluation — what's worth your time and what isn't
  • Vendor accountability — making sure you're getting what you pay for
  • Budget planning for upcoming technology needs
  • Priority access for questions and quick decisions between check-ins
  • Documentation updates as your systems evolve

Why Grey Matter Dynamics

No upsell agenda

No vendor relationships, no referral fees, no products on the side. We get paid to solve your problem. That's the whole incentive structure.

Full stack, one person

AI tools, hardware, self-hosting, custom software — we work across all of it. You get a team that sees the whole picture, not five specialists talking past each other.

Everything stays with you

Code, documentation, credentials, plans — it's all yours from day one. We don't build dependencies. You should be able to walk away at any point and keep going.
