How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

Every new client means creating the same folders, task lists, and welcome messages by hand, and it's easy to forget a step or leave the team in the dark. Doing this consistently across every client eats up time you could spend on actual client work.

Who it fits

An agency or service business that needs a consistent setup for every new client.

How it works

  1. A new client signup triggers the process with their name, email, and service
  2. Checks whether that client already has a project folder
  3. Looks up the standard task list for the service they bought
  4. Builds the matching lists and tasks in ClickUp and folders in Google Drive
  5. Sends a welcome email to the client and a notification to your team
What you get

New clients set up the same way every time

Every new client gets their project folders, tasks, and welcome email created automatically, so your setup stays consistent every time.

What you get

A ready-to-go client workspace in ClickUp and Google Drive, plus welcome and notification emails.

What you need

ClickUp, Google Drive, Google Sheets, and Gmail accounts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
