About Scoper

We come from architecture — over a decade of scoping building projects before turning that discipline to AI. The crossover is not superficial. Scoping a building and scoping an AI workflow are the same problem: figuring out what to build before you build it, what to leave out, and where the constraints are that will surface only later if you do not name them now. Architecture trains you to hold a brief, push back on the wrong brief, and refuse to draw something until the problem is properly defined. That is the same discipline this work demands.

The reason most AI projects fail is that they were never properly scoped. The pitch was broad, the brief was vague, and the build started before anyone had agreed what “done” looked like. In architectural practice, a brief that gets the constraints right — budget, site, programme, adjacency — is worth the time it takes to write. You do not start drawing until that brief is sound. We treat scoping as the project. Not as a prelude to the real work, but as the most important phase of it.

Scoper offers two paths. The first is a productised library of workflow archetypes — the patterns that come up again and again across small and medium enterprises — packaged as structured kits: prompts, scaffolding, evaluation criteria, a troubleshooting guide, and a roadmap. You submit a form, we match your workflow, your kit arrives within 24 hours, and you build with Claude or ChatGPT yourself. That is what most customers want.

The second path is a small consulting engagement: an audit and a single tool built end-to-end, fixed scope and fixed fee, for owners who would rather not learn Claude themselves. We take on a few of these each quarter. Pricing and what is included sits on the pricing page.

What we will not do

• We will not pitch you on a call.
• We will not promote tools we have not used in client engagements.
• We will not sell you a kit for a workflow we don’t believe AI can actually help with.
• We will not lock you into our infrastructure.
• We will not take payment if you decide the kit isn’t right for you within 14 days.

What we are not

• We are not a development shop.
• We do not maintain large codebases on retainer.
• We are not an AI platform or a tool vendor.
• We do not chase enterprise transformation work. Our consulting engagements are deliberately small — one tool, four weeks, fixed scope.

If your problem is the right shape — a defined workflow, a business where time or accuracy matters — the Starter kit is US$99 and arrives within 24 hours of your form submission. If you would rather have it built for you, the consulting engagement is A$12,000+GST for a four-week audit and tool build. Either way, the form starts the same: tell us what the workflow is.
