A Build does not begin with a task to automate. It begins with what you want the business to do. In our example joinery, two of the three goals were from enquiry to booked job, and from the job to a full invoice.
From there we find the work inside your business that carries the goal. A Build makes one piece of it real. It runs in the tools you already have. It is tested on your own cases and accepted by you in writing, and your people are trained to run it.
A 25‑minute call. No files, no homework. A written note either way.

Example job. The business shown is not a client.
“When ___ happens,
the system ___
so that ___ can ___.”
One trigger, one accepted output, one person who uses or signs it. That is one Build.
For example: a quote reply drafted from the price list. A weekly client report assembled from source systems. Meeting notes turned into CRM updates. Enquiry triage and routing. A billing-readiness pack per engagement.

A Connected Build is two or three Builds that must work together for one accepted result, sharing a foundation. Intake to delivery to billing, across teams, is one. It has up to four integrations and one outcome, and takes six to ten weeks.
The job itself
Proof that it works
What your people need to run it
What it costs to run
Acceptance takes your written word. Payment, use or silence alone is not acceptance. The workshop is half a day, remote, for up to 12 people. Usage is per token, paid to the provider in your own account.
A Build takes three to five weeks, in one environment, one language and one jurisdiction. The delivery date is agreed before you pay a deposit.
One part finds the permitted source material for a case and cites it. One drafts. One compares the draft with the source and your rules, and flags what does not match or is missing. It never approves. Where a rule beats a model, we use the rule.
None of these is sold alone.

Example job. The business shown is not a client.
| Item | Included |
|---|---|
| Additional integration. Connecting a system beyond the two a Build holds. | |
| Business Knowledge Layer. Prior work ingested (up to 5,000 documents), permissions mapped, retrieval tested for accuracy, every output cited to source. | |
| Review Screen or internal tool. A purpose-built screen beyond the included one: queue, side-by-side check, approvals. | |
| Extended Acceptance Testing. Larger case sets, adversarial cases, evidence pack for regulated work. | |
| Second site or team rollout. The same Build for another team or location, with its own cases and training. | |
| Data migration or cleanup. Getting historical data fit to use. | |
| Rush delivery. An agreed date inside half the standard timeline. |
When it is, we say so. The same job at two sites that work differently is a Build for each site, or a Connected Build. Work that needs a new database or application is a Programme. A backlog of fixes with no single output is Engineering Days. Sometimes the proportionate answer is a process fix, standard software, or nothing.
If one question stands between you and a decision, an Evidence Check answers it first. It takes one week, on a sample of your real cases.
For small workflows, Builder Coaching teaches a named member of your staff to build and maintain them. It is four sessions, with our review.
Every Build has agreed acceptance tests and an authorised reviewer on your side. Our written guarantee covers a Build and a Connected Build.
Each workflow or agent installation has a separately agreed scope, fixed quoted fee, deposit amount, delivery date, representative examples, core acceptance tests and authorised reviewer. The deposit is paid upfront. The remaining installation balance becomes payable on written acceptance; payment, use or silence alone is not acceptance.
Service guarantee
calendar days
The agreed Blueprint fee is paid upfront. After delivery of the complete Blueprint and its decision review, the buyer has 14 calendar days to request a full refund if they do not believe it was worth the fee. No proof of a defect, correction round or installation purchase is required. Refund within five business days of the request. The buyer keeps the delivered Blueprint and its agreed use rights. A supported recommendation to simplify, defer or stop is legitimate; the buyer can still use the satisfaction promise.
Thirty calendar days of in-scope installation stabilisation are included after written acceptance. A core failure against the agreed tests reported during that period uses the same ten-business-day correction and linked-fee refund process, even when resolution falls after the stabilisation end date. Minor defects are corrected without charge; new features or expanded responsibility require separate agreement.

No proof of a defect, correction round or installation purchase is required. Refund within five business days of the request. The buyer keeps the delivered Blueprint and its agreed use rights. A supported recommendation to simplify, defer or stop is legitimate; the buyer can still use the satisfaction promise.
If the core workflow or an essential agent fails the agreed tests, correct and retest at no extra charge within ten business days after receiving the failure report and agreed lawful evidence/access. A pause for a genuine dependency requires documentation and an agreed revised date; provider-controlled delays are not client dependencies. A workaround or scope reduction requires the buyer’s explicit agreement.
If the core workflow still fails at the end of that correction period, the buyer may stop. Refund all installation fees actually paid for that scope and the associated Blueprint fee actually paid, within five business days. Waive the remaining installation balance. Complete the agreed restoration and handover at no extra charge.
Agree the delivery date and restoration scope before taking the deposit. If a provider-controlled delay misses the delivery date, the buyer can agree a revised written delivery plan at no extra charge or end the installation and receive the installation fees actually paid within five business days. The Blueprint remains subject to its own satisfaction promise unless the core-workflow failure remedy applies. Client dependencies and approved scope changes are documented before a revised date applies.
Thirty calendar days of in-scope installation stabilisation are included after written acceptance. A core failure against the agreed tests reported during that period uses the same ten-business-day correction and linked-fee refund process, even when resolution falls after the stabilisation end date. Minor defects are corrected without charge; new features or expanded responsibility require separate agreement.
The promise follows the commissioned job across workflow, agent, integration and governance installation services; it is not a guarantee of every illustrative design or a promise to install the entire firm-wide path. Free fit calls and demonstrations carry no paid-fee refund. Optional managed operation and other paid continuing support use their agreed written service checks. If those checks fail, correct without extra charge within ten business days after receiving the scope-listed evidence/access; genuine dependency pauses require a documented, agreed revised date. If the agreed service still fails, the buyer may end that support service and receive the fee actually paid for the affected billing period within five business days; no remaining future support balance is due. This refunds the affected support period, not the original installation or Blueprint again. Support does not start automatically or renew the installation refund promise.

A Programme buys delivery days per quarter, paid monthly in advance. Every Build or Connected Build delivered inside it keeps its own agreed scope, representative tests, authorised reviewer and written acceptance, and the installation promise above applies to each one: if its core workflow still fails the agreed tests at the end of the ten-business-day correction period, the buyer may stop that Build and receive the fees actually paid for that Build’s scope within five business days. Across the Programme as a whole, refunds are capped at the fees actually paid for the current quarter; days already delivered against accepted work are not refunded. Either party may end a Programme with 30 days’ notice at the end of a quarter, and the buyer receives a handover pack of everything built.

Day-rate work is delivered against a written backlog with a definition of done for each item, so there is no single accepted job for the installation promise to test. Instead, any item that is defective against its definition of done is redone at no charge within 30 days of delivery. If Build n Bloom ends a prepaid block early, unused days are refunded within five business days.

A Build is quoted as a fixed fee before you commit. You pay a deposit up front, and the balance when you accept the work in writing.
What shapes the fee: how many systems the job connects, how much testing the work needs, how many sites or teams it covers, and how fast you need it.
You get a fixed fee in writing before you commit. It is the same for every client.
