01
Revenue Capture
Leads, calls, quotes, bookings, or handoffs are leaking money. We find where demand goes cold and fix the intake, follow-up, and ownership path.
How we fix lead leaksFix the expensive systembefore you build the wrong thing.
We diagnose lead leaks, manual workflows, fragile AI builds, and operations nobody owns. Then we repair, automate, rebuild, or run the system only when the business case is clear.
What we sell
One front door. Three lanes.
Start with one expensive problem. We separate whether it is a revenue leak, an operating drag, or a broken build before anyone pays for implementation.
02
Operating Leverage
The team keeps copying, cleaning, chasing, reporting, or re-entering the same work. We remove the manual drag without creating a fragile new process.
How we cut manual work03
Code Rescue
An AI-built app, contractor build, integration, or internal tool looked close and then failed in real use. We stabilize it or tell you to stop funding it.
How we rescue AI buildsHow it works
You bring one expensive problem. We tell you what to do about it.
You do not need to know whether the answer is an agent, automation, training, a rebuild, or a simpler workflow. Bring the costly break and we trace it to the real cause.
-
01
Show the problem
Tell us what is slowing the business down: the lead leak, the manual loop, the broken build, or the process nobody trusts.
-
02
Find the cause
We trace where it actually breaks — intake, data, a handoff, follow-up, the code, or who owns it.
-
03
Pick the fix
Repair it, automate it, rebuild it, train the team around it, or leave it alone. Sometimes the honest answer is do nothing.
-
04
Build if it pays
If the numbers justify it, we move into a paid plan, sprint, or retainer and ship it. If they don't, we'll tell you.
The paid review
Know what's broken before you pay to build.
When the next step is the $2,000 written review, here is what it covers. It is a real teardown of one problem: one revenue leak, one cost drag, one broken workflow, or one broken AI build. Not a sales call.
-
01
Problem map
Where the customer, the task, the data, the handoff, the tool, or the code is actually breaking.
-
02
Root cause and risk
What's creating the failure, what breaks next if it's left alone, and what shouldn't be rushed.
-
03
Fix path
The fixes in order: repair, automate, rebuild, simplify, or leave alone.
-
04
Build or don't
Whether the business case is strong enough to justify a plan, a sprint, or a retainer.
You send the problem plus non-sensitive screenshots, links, or exports. We arrange scoped access separately when it is actually needed.
You get a written teardown within 5 business days of having what we need.
If it's not worth fixing, the review says so. That's part of what you're paying for.
Pricing
You are not choosing from a menu.
The default paid entry is the $2,000 Fix Review. After that, we recommend a plan, build, retainer, or no build at all based on what the review finds.
Fix Review
The first paid step for new clients. One problem, reviewed async, with a written teardown and a straight build-or-don't call.
Fix Plan
Used when the fix needs design before build: architecture, access needs, guardrails, backlog, estimate, and one working call.
Implementation Sprint
Repair, automation, rebuild, integration, or stabilization once the case and fix path are clear enough to price.
Operator Retainer
For systems we have already repaired or built. We monitor it, fix what breaks, and improve the workflow over time.
Already have an approved scope? Review the payment process.
Who's behind it
Built by an engineer, not an agency.
Real Work Systems is for businesses that need the thing to actually work, not a deck about it. The work is led by Jose Mugaburu, an engineer who has built and run real software and operations — not just advised on them.
Jose's rule: we won't build you an AI agent if a 20-line script does the job. Most of the time, a script does the job.

Questions worth answering before money changes hands.
Why pay for diagnosis?
Because the wrong build can cost more than the original problem. The Fix Review gives you a written root cause, ranked fix path, and build-or-don't recommendation before implementation is scoped.
What if the problem is not worth fixing?
We say so. A no-build recommendation is a valid outcome of the review, not a failed sales process.
Who is not a fit?
Curiosity calls, unpaid brainstorming, generic AI training, and problems that are not worth at least $20,000 to fix are not a fit for this model.
What access do you need?
Start with a description of the problem and non-sensitive examples. If deeper access is required, we agree on the minimum systems, permissions, and time window after fit and scope are clear.
How should we handle sensitive data?
Do not put passwords, API keys, regulated data, or production credentials in the application. We define a secure, scoped handoff before any sensitive access is shared.

Tell us what's broken.
No call to book, nothing to buy yet. Describe the problem and we will tell you whether it is something we can fix and what the next step is. If it is not a fit, we will say that too.
