The Billable Hour,
Reclaimed

In six weeks you'll build a Claude workflow that turns your firm's inputs into a client-ready deliverable — in your voice, to your methodology, in a fraction of the time, with a verification gate before anything reaches a client.

Who it's for

You sell expertise.
You write for a living.

For professionals who carry real reputational and regulatory stakes if they get it wrong. You use AI occasionally; what you lack is a repeatable, firm-specific system that produces work you'd put your name to. That's what we build — a knowledge base and workflow that encode how your firm thinks.

Built for firms like
  • Accountants, bookkeepers & tax agents
  • Lawyers & conveyancers
  • Marketing, creative & brand agencies
  • Management, strategy & operations consultants
  • Business & executive coaches
  • Financial advisers & mortgage brokers
  • Architects, building designers & buyers' agents
Not for
  • ×Firms wanting a fully autonomous "set and forget" robot
  • × Anyone hoping to file advice without a human reviewing it

An autonomous robot is the one thing this course will actively talk you out of. The verification gate is the point, not the friction.

What you build

Inputs in,
client-ready out.

The spine is the same shape for everyone: inputs in, a finished client-facing document out.A bookkeeper's inputs are a trial balance and a bank feed; a lawyer's are a draft contract and an instruction; an agency's are a discovery transcript and a brief.

The output is the thing your client pays for — the advice letter, the management report, the review memo, the strategy outline, the proposal. We build the pipeline from your inputs to your output, in your voice, with a review gate at the end.

The workflow you'll own
InputsDraftVerifyClient-ready

Every figure traces to a source; every reference is checked; anything unverifiable lands on a "Matters to verify" list — never silently smoothed over.

The six weeks

Week by week.

Week01

Audit & mindset

Where does your billable time go, and what's safe to hand a model?

Rank your recurring written outputs by volume, pain and dollar value, with live hot-seat audits — and internalise the three ideas that separate leverage from embarrassment.

You leave with

A ranked deliverable-audit and one nominated spine deliverable on a real matter.

Week02

Tooling & confidentiality

Set up the workspace — and decide what you're allowed to put in it.

Claude Desktop vs Projects vs the API, why Projects is the home for firm work, and the confidentiality framework: safe inputs, consent wording, de-identification, data residency.

You leave with

A configured firm Project and a one-page data-handling policy.

Week03

Knowledge extraction

The most important week: get your expertise onto disk.

A live extraction interview builds the five buckets on screen — methodology, rules, precedents, worked examples, and the failure log, the highest-value bucket by a distance.

You leave with

A populated five-bucket knowledge base, de-identified and loaded into your Project.

Week04

Build

Assemble the knowledge into a working skill.

The six-part anatomy of a skill, built live against a real deliverable — role, task, procedure, references, output format, and the guardrails that hold the verification gate.

You leave with

A reusable skill and a genuine first-draft deliverable on your live matter.

Week05

Iterate live

Diagnose, fix one thing at a time, build verification discipline.

Diagnose before you fix: missing knowledge, unclear instruction, or model limitation — each has a different fix. Then bake citation discipline and a "Matters to verify" list into the workflow.

You leave with

A refined deliverable and a written verification checklist in your workflow.

Week06

Handover & next

Make it durable: a workflow the firm owns and extends.

Package the workflow into a one-page run-book a colleague can run, set a maintenance rhythm, and map the next two deliverables — then demo your working asset to the cohort.

You leave with

A run-book, a maintenance schedule and a roadmap for the next two builds.

Real-world results

What it looks like
in a real firm.

Accounting · Reporting

The recurring management report

Before

A monthly report for 40 SME clients — roughly a full day of senior time each at month-end: pull figures, write commentary, flag variances, format.

After

Built as a Project with the firm's template, style and a worked example, the first pass lands in about an hour — the accountant verifies and adds judgement.

~$1,950 / reportsenior time recovered
Law · Failure log

The clause that went sideways

Before

A deal went sideways when a junior copied an indemnity clause from the wrong precedent — a guarantee, not an indemnity.

After

One line in the failure log. The firm's review Project now flags that swap automatically on every contract it reads.

Fee earned backfrom one prevented error
Advice · Verification

The Statement of Advice

Before

A 4-hour drafting task — and the model once quoted a contribution cap from memory that was a year out of date.

After

A guardrail forces every figure traced to the current source, plus a mandatory "Matters to verify" list. ~1 hr, risk reduced not raised.
