Hanif Carroll MVPs + Workflow Systems

Start with the right first system.

Whether you are launching a product or replacing manual operations, I help define the smallest useful version, build it, and leave you with software your team can actually use.

Offer 01

Starts at $10,000

The 4-Week Launch

A fixed-scope MVP for nontechnical founders who need product judgment and senior execution in one person. We cut the scope, build the first useful version, and get it live in four weeks.

  • Best when the product idea is clear but the first version is not.
  • Includes scope, UX, build, deployment, launch support, and handoff.
  • Starts at $10,000.

Offer 02

Workflow audit from $2,000

Workflow Audit & AI Systems

A paid diagnostic for founder-led teams with repeated manual work, scattered context, or an AI idea without a clean workflow underneath. You leave with a workflow map, bottleneck diagnosis, implementation scope, and a direct answer on whether software, automation, or AI is the right fix.

  • Best when the team is losing time to repeated handoffs, copy-paste, inbox triage, or tribal knowledge.
  • Includes workflow map, context/data review, automation opportunities, AI fit, and implementation scope.
  • Starts at $2,000, credited toward implementation.

Why this works

One person handles the scope, build, and tradeoffs, so the first useful version gets clearer faster.

Offer 01

A focused MVP live in 4 weeks.

I help you figure out what the MVP should be, advise on pricing and positioning, design the UX, build the product, and set up the launch. Best for nontechnical founders who need a product partner, not just a pair of hands.

Best for

  • + Nontechnical founders who need more than a developer.
  • + Teams that need a smaller, clearer first version.
  • + Founders who can stay involved in scope and weekly review.

Included

  • Product strategy, scope cuts, and pricing guidance before code starts.
  • UX and design decisions so you do not need a separate designer.
  • Frontend, backend, deployment, and launch setup.
  • Marketing site support plus 30 days of post-launch bug coverage.
  • Recorded handoff and shared project visibility from day one.

Starting price

$10,000

Fixed-scope build for the first useful version.

50% upfront to start, 50% at launch.

No equity. No agency layers.

How the four weeks are used.

01

Cut the scope to the first useful version

We define what needs to exist for the product to be useful, testable, and small enough to ship fast.

02

Build with short feedback loops

I handle the implementation while you get weekly demos, direct communication, and business-level tradeoff calls.

03

Launch with handoff

The product goes live with deployment, monitoring, bug coverage, and a handoff that the next developer can pick up cleanly.

Offer 02

Turn repeated manual work into a system your team can trust.

For founder-led teams and business owners whose operations are slowing down because too much knowledge lives in people, tabs, and manual workarounds. The audit comes before the build because most automation failures are workflow failures first. The goal is not to add AI everywhere. The goal is to find the smallest system that removes real operational drag.

Best for

  • + Founder-led teams with repeated manual work and no clear system under it.
  • + SMBs that rely on copy-paste, inbox triage, or one person holding too much context.
  • + Teams exploring AI, but only if it actually improves the workflow.

Workflow audit includes

  • Workflow map: tools, people, handoffs, data, and failure points.
  • Bottleneck diagnosis: what is actually slowing the business down.
  • Data and context readiness check: what the system needs before AI or automation can work.
  • Human review map: where a person needs to approve, edit, or override the system.
  • First useful system recommendation: software, automation, AI, or no build yet.
  • Implementation scope: phases, budget range, timeline, risks, and next step.

Workflow audit

From $2,000

Paid diagnostic for custom automation work.

Credited toward implementation if we move forward.

Implementation is quoted after the workflow is clear.

Signal

Your team answers the same questions every week.

Signal

A core handoff still depends on copy-paste.

Signal

Too much context lives in one person's head.

Signal

You have an AI idea, but no clean workflow under it.

What gets built after the audit.

Most automation problems are operations problems first. The audit keeps the scope honest, then the implementation can be cut to the first useful system.

01

Internal workflow software

Dashboards, intake flows, searchable inventory, and operational tools that replace repetitive manual steps with something your team can actually use.

02

Automation layers

Connect the tools you already use, move data between them, trigger the right next step, and remove the bottleneck slowing the business down.

03

AI systems

Retrieval, routing, summarization, classification, and tool-use flows tied to the work your team already needs to get done.

How automation projects work.

01

Audit the current workflow and map the real constraint.

02

Define the first useful system before quoting implementation.

03

Build around the data, tools, and actions the business already needs.

04

Add AI only if it improves the result.

The Guarantee

If I miss the agreed timeline because of my execution, I keep working until the agreed scope is live at no added cost.

Requires timely feedback, a tight scope, and normal client-side access during the build.

Burned by a developer before

The code lives in your GitHub from day one, you see regular demos, and the project board stays shared the whole time.

Not sure whether this is an MVP or an automation problem

That is exactly what the roadmap call is for. I will tell you which path fits, what the first useful version looks like, and whether the scope is strong enough to move forward.

After launch or implementation

I handle deployment, monitoring, bug fixes for 30 days, and a recorded handoff so the next developer can pick it up cleanly.

Budget and payment

The 4-Week Launch starts at $10,000 with 50% upfront and 50% at launch. Workflow audits start at $2,000 and are credited toward implementation if we move forward.

What if AI is not the right fix?

Then I will say that. The audit is meant to choose the right first system, not force an AI implementation.

What do I get if we do not continue after the audit?

You keep the workflow map, bottleneck diagnosis, implementation recommendation, budget range, and next-step scope. It should be useful even if someone else builds it.

How do you handle sensitive business context?

We define what the system can access, what it cannot access, where human review belongs, and what should stay manual before anything is built.

Availability

Bring the scope. I'll tell you whether it needs an MVP, a workflow audit, or a smaller first step.
