The plain terms.

Everything I sell is on the Work with me page with its price. This page is the promise behind each one, kept short on purpose. When we work together, you'll get the same promises, in the same words, in a one to three page agreement you sign electronically before anything starts, and the invoice carries them too. The agreement adds the standard mechanics, such as dates, notices, and what happens if something stops, and you read all of it before you sign. The business is Garwood AI LLC, in Missouri.

The Starter Build

• One working session on your real work. We look at where AI fits and where it doesn't, and pick the one thing worth fixing first. Then I go and build it, and set it up working in your own accounts.
• $750, flat, for the session and the one thing built out of it. One invoice once it's delivered and working, due 14 days from the invoice date. No hourly rate and no other fee from me. If it needs a paid tool you don't have, that's yours and separate, and we agree on it before I build (see the last section).
• The promise: before I build anything we agree, in plain words, what the one thing is and what working means. If what I bring back doesn't do that, I keep at it until it does, at no extra charge.
• If the honest answer in the session is that nothing here is worth building, I'll say so, and you don't pay.
• This covers the one thing we picked, and I show you how to run it. It does not cover setting your team up on their own AI tools, building you anything else, or tying your systems together into something bigger. Those are separate jobs, priced on their own.
• Anything I build for you is yours to keep from the day you pay the invoice. The methods and templates I bring are mine.
• Either of us can call it off before I start building, and nothing is owed.

Your agent, built

• One agent that owns one real job. Its scope is a job description we write together and you sign before I build. If it isn't in the job description, it isn't in the build, and we change the job description in writing before anything different gets built.
• $1,500, one time, per agent. Invoiced when the agent is live and you've been shown how it works. Due 14 days. No add-ons and no moving targets from me; the paid tools and seats the agent runs on are yours, named before I build.
• You provide the accounts the job description lists, one person who answers what the agent escalates, and your honest baseline for how long the job takes today. You create the credentials, I never ask for your personal passwords, and everything is handed back or revoked at the end.
• The agent's configuration, knowledge, and everything specific to your business are yours from the day you pay. The reusable chassis it runs on stays mine, with a permanent license for you to keep using it inside your agent.
• The agent follows the approval gates in its job description, and what it says to your customers is yours the way what an employee says is yours. I don't promise a specific business outcome beyond the agreed smoke test passing.
• Either of us can end it before the agent is live. You pay for the milestones that are done, and what those milestones produced is yours.

Managed

• I host your agent, watch it, and fix it before you notice anything is off. Every week you get a plain report of what it did and what that saved you. Every month we sit down and decide what it takes on next.
• $500 a month, per agent, invoiced monthly in advance. Cancel any month by telling me before the next invoice. No minimum term. I can end it with 30 days notice.
• You already own the agent, so if it ends and you want to keep running it yourself, I'll show you how before I go.

Built to scope

• For everything that isn't a single agent: getting you or your team set up on the tools, training that sticks, a workflow automated end to end, a skill or a project. It starts with a Starter Build, which is where we scope it.
• One price, one outcome, one start date, agreed in writing before anything is built. Upkeep, if you want it, is priced inside the same scope, not added later. Invoiced when the last milestone is accepted, due 14 days.
• The promise is the scope: the outcome we wrote down, at the price we wrote down, by the date we wrote down. It is not a promise of a particular business result. If a milestone misses because of something on my side, I fix it at no charge until it lands.
• Either of us can end it. You pay for the milestones that are done, and nothing for the rest.

The parts that apply to everything

• Software is yours, not mine. My price is for my work. If what we build needs a paid tool or seat you don't already have, a Claude seat for example, I'll tell you what it is and what it costs before I build anything, and you buy it in your own name at whatever the vendor charges. The account, the data and the cancelling stay yours. I don't mark it up, resell it, or take a cut, and my price doesn't change with what a tool costs.
• Confidentiality, both ways. What you show me stays with me. I won't name you as a client, quote you, or describe your work publicly without asking first.
• Plain limits. I give you my honest read and I build carefully, but AI tools can be wrong. You keep the judgment on anything that goes to a customer, a regulator, a bank, or a court. Neither of us is responsible to the other for indirect losses, and my responsibility is capped at what you paid me under the agreement.
• The rest is in the agreement. How your credentials and your customers' information are handled, what counts as delivered, the notice periods, what happens if an invoice is late or something stops, and which state's law applies. It's one to three pages in the same plain words, and you read it before you sign. Ask and I'll walk you through any of it before then.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, ask me directly through the assistant or on a call. I'd rather explain it than have you guess.
