THE BUILD LAYER. This proposal was generated from your Modernization roadmap — the phases below are the same ones, line-itemed. Each fix (F1–F7) and growth play (G1–G5) you've already seen carries its build price and who does the work. Toggle any phase off to see the numbers adjust — every phase stands on its own.
01 · The build, line by line

Same roadmap — now priced, staffed, and gated

02 · How the work gets done

Three roles, no surprises

Sidekick never touches your systems — that's a promise, not a disclaimer. Here's exactly who does what.

🧭 Sidekick

  • Designs the build from your assessment and sequences every phase
  • Writes the runbooks the partner works from
  • Runs QA and holds each phase gate — nothing advances without your sign-off

🛠️ Vetted partner

  • Does the hands-on configuration inside your accounts
  • Works only from the Sidekick runbook, scoped per line item
  • Background-checked, insured, and reviewed after every engagement

👤 You

  • Approve each phase gate before the next begins
  • Third-party subscriptions billed to you directly (Jobber, receptionist, Dext)
  • Crew participation in the onboarding session
03 · Ships at kickoff

Your Implementation Guide — the "how" your roadmap pointed to

Your Modernization roadmap told you what to do and when. The moment you approve this proposal, we build the companion it teased — the detailed guide for your exact stack, kept current through every phase:

Per-phase setup sequenceEvery configuration step, in order, for your accounts — not generic vendor docs.
Migration checklistsWhat moves from the pad, the whiteboard, and the laptop — and how nothing gets lost.
Who-does-what per taskEach line item split across Sidekick / partner / you, so no step waits on a mystery.
Milestones & acceptance criteriaWhat "done" means at every gate — the checklist you sign against.
A runbook per systemHow to operate, adjust, and troubleshoot each tool after we're gone.
30 days of supportEmail support after the final phase ships, on top of the tuning windows.
04 · Assumptions & terms

The fine print, in plain English

This quote assumes:
  • You stay on Jobber as the core system — no platform migration in scope.
  • Recoverable-value figures are the conservative estimates from your Gap Analysis, not guarantees.
  • Phases run in order; the foundation ships before automation is built on it.
  • Normal seasonal workload — a peak-season crunch may shift dates, not price.
Terms:
  • Payment per phase, invoiced on delivery of that phase. Stop after any completed phase with no further obligation.
  • Not included: ongoing monthly management (available separately) and third-party software fees.
  • ROI and recovered-value figures throughout are conservative estimates from your intake against regional averages — not a guarantee of results. Total liability limited to fees paid in the 12 months before any claim. Pricing valid 30 days.

Ready to start with the foundation?

We can kick off Phase 1 within a week. You'll have one system of truth and your business off that single laptop before the month is out — and every phase after that pays its own way.
