A coach unblocked at 5 clients. Two production iOS apps shipped solo. A digital agency running 12 concurrent engagements with no extra hires. Different sizes, same playbook — and on every case here, the consulting fee was recovered before the first month of stack invoices cleared.
Capacity unlocked. Products shipped. No team required.
Capacity-blocked at 5 clients. Now serving 50 on the same one-person practice — less admin than before, every touchpoint covered by agents that don’t sleep.
An AI wine sommelier on the App Store — also a working DTC pattern: AI-driven product recommendation. Roadmap planned for 10 people over 6 months. Delivered solo with agents in under 30 days. Live, with a senior wine-tasting championship judge intrigued by the output.
An iOS wellness app with thousands of active users. The team that used to build it — 2 engineers, 1 social media specialist, 1 wellness specialist — is now agents. Same shape of work, 3× the ship velocity.
Ops scaled without scaling headcount.
My own digital agency, running 12 concurrent client engagements on two specialist agents — support and finance, 24/7, no marginal headcount per new client. The same operator job our buyers face, dog-fed at scale.
The cases above carry the proof. The patterns below are the agent shapes we’d ship into your vertical — cleanly transferred from the work we’ve already done. If you don’t see your shape here, the Audit maps it.
Every layer of the DTC ops stack has an agent shape. Sommvi (Case 02) is already a working DTC pattern — AI-driven product recommendation. Around it, the rest of the DTC stack maps directly:
Billable-hours economics break the moment one human is the bottleneck. The Coach pattern (Case 01) transfers almost wholesale to a small partnership: eight client touchpoints per engagement, only one needs the partner. The other seven are coordination, content, compliance, communication.
Honest scope: we don’t yet have a named external case study in either vertical. The patterns above are derived from the agent shapes we’ve shipped in the four cases above — they transfer, but the first engagement in each is a calibration. The Audit treats your business as the new case.
The audit costs £3,500. The agentic stacks it designs save £50K to £290K a year of ongoing staffing, or compress one-off project scope that would otherwise need a 10-person team. Across every case here, the consulting fee was recovered before the first month of stack invoices cleared.
Each stack above was built bespoke. None are templates you can lift. The playbook is what travels: deep diagnosis, right-sized scope, working systems, owned by you. Start with the question, the map, or the math.
60 minutes. One stuck decision answered. The fee is recovered the day you implement the smallest substitution.
