You barely lift
Walk me through your process once.
An operator who ships web work, not just talks about it.
I’m Karlis. I’ve shipped multiple SMB sites solo over the last 18 months, plus automation and AI systems for other agencies’ whole client bases. Every project taught me the same lesson: the timeline is set in the first week, not the last.
I’m not a coach who read about agency ops. I systemized my own delivery because the alternative was hiring, and I didn’t want to hire. Now I build the same thing for other agency owners.

Quick answers.
A checklist is what someone remembers to do. A system runs on its own. If your onboarding still needs you personally on every project, you are the system.
The 80% that repeats (kickoff, brief, direction, scope, handoff) gets systematized. The 20% that's unique gets personalized inside the system.
No. I build the system into whatever you already run: your CRM, your project tool, your intake forms. You own it, you change any part later.
Live in 14 days with a locked-scope process running on your next project, or full refund. Proof lands by Friday of week one.
