Automation, built like infrastructure
Your business runs on manual work it shouldn’t.
Wrightworks is an engineering firm that finds the hours your team loses to repetitive work — and builds production-grade automation to win them back. Fixed prices. Working software in weeks. No hype, no “AI transformation journey.”

01 / The market
You’ve met the “AI agency” already.
A course created thousands of them last year. They wire up no-code tools, collect retainers, and disappear when an API changes. Meanwhile your team still re-types invoices, copies data between systems, and answers the same email forty times a week.
That work has a payroll line. We remove it with software that holds.
02 / How it works
One ladder. Step on wherever you’re ready.
Already know what you want built? You can skip the audit and bring us the workflow for a fixed-price build directly.
- 01
Teardown
A short recorded walkthrough of one workflow we'd automate, with rough numbers. No call required.
Free - 02
Audit
We map where your hours go and hand you an ROI-ranked roadmap — plus one working automation, installed.
$5,000 · 2 weeks - 03
Build
We build the roadmap's highest-value automations as production software your team owns — a Pilot (from $7.5k) that scopes up into a Core build (from $20k). Full split on the pricing page.
$7.5k–45k - 04
Care
We monitor everything we ship, fix it when upstream systems change, and keep improving it.

03 / The proof
Exhibit A: our own company.
We don’t show borrowed logos. We show the machine: a system we built for ourselves scans public hiring signals every night, finds businesses drowning in manual work, and powers the live counters below.
Engine idle — counters begin at launch. They start at zero, because real numbers do.
- A-1
Every night the engine ranks the businesses most likely drowning in manual work and surfaces a worklist — it's how we decide who to reach out to.
- A-2
A nightly scan reads public hiring signals across the market and scores which businesses are quietly drowning in manual work.
- A-3
Next on this engine: drafting the teardown and running our outreach on it — built in the open, the same way we'd build yours.
● How the machine works
The same machine that probably found you.
No black box. Here is the pipeline behind our own outreach — a signal entering one side and a costed, ranked worklist leaving the other. If we ever reach out about your workflow, this is what flagged it.
- 01
Signal
We read public hiring signals across job boards and ATS feeds.
- 02
Filter
We isolate the repetitive back-office roles worth automating.
- 03
Classify
Claude reads each posting and scores how automatable the work is.
- 04
Quantify
We cost the opportunity — the dollars-per-year you could recover.
- 05
Surface
The shortlist surfaces to us as a ranked worklist — who's drowning, ranked by recoverable spend.
04 / Scope
What we take off your team’s plate.
These are common ones, not the limit. The test is simpler than any list: if your team does it the same way every week, it can probably be automated.
- 01
AR/AP & invoicing
Invoices read, matched, and entered without anyone re-typing them.
- 02
Support triage
Incoming tickets classified, routed, and drafted before a human opens them.
- 03
Reporting
The weekly report that takes someone a morning, generated on its own.
- 04
Customer onboarding
New-client paperwork, accounts, and reminders that run themselves.
- 05
Document processing
Contracts and PDFs turned into structured data you can actually use.
- 06
Scheduling & dispatch
Jobs assigned and calendars filled by rules instead of by hand.
Don’t see yours? That’s exactly what the teardown is for.
● This isn’t about headcount
Automating the repetitive part isn’t a layoff plan — it’s capacity. The person you just hired gets to do the judgment work you hired them for, instead of re-typing invoices and copying fields between tabs. The machine takes the keystrokes; your people keep the decisions.

06 / The guarantee
The guarantee.
If we take on your audit and the roadmap doesn’t surface at least $50,000 a year in automatable labor cost — ten times the fee — you don’t pay.
We confirm there’s real automatable work on a short fit call before we start. So this is a promise we keep, not a gamble — we don’t run audits we don’t believe in.
By “automatable labor cost” we mean the figure we publish in the roadmap itself — automatable hours × fully-loaded labor rate (base salary × 1.3). If the roadmap’s recoverable total comes in under $50,000 a year, the audit is free.
07 / Due diligence
10 questions to ask any automation agency — including us.
You don’t need to be technical to use these — that’s the point. They’re the questions we want you to ask, because the honest answer tells you who’ll still be there when something breaks at 2am.
- 01
Who's on call at 2am when this breaks?
- 02
Where are the evals that prove it works?
- 03
What happens when the API changes?
- 04
Can you show me working software from your audit?
- 05
Is this a fixed price or an estimate?
- 06
Who owns the code when we're done?
- 07
What won't you automate?
- 08
How do you handle our data?
- 09
What breaks first under load?
- 10
Why shouldn't we just buy an off-the-shelf tool?
If an agency can’t answer these, keep looking.
About Wrightworks
08 / The name
A wright is someone who builds things that hold — a shipwright, a wheelwright, a millwright. The most famous Wrights were two bicycle mechanics who out-engineered every funded laboratory of their day. We took the name because that’s the work: quiet, exact, built to last.
More about us →09 / Questions
Straight answers.
How do you handle our data?
You keep control. We work with least-privilege access — only the systems a given automation needs — and can build inside your environment rather than ours when that's the right call. Nothing leaves your control without a reason you've signed off on.
What tools and stack do you use?
We build on the systems you already run, with production-grade code your team owns. We're not locked into one no-code platform that breaks when its vendor changes a button, and we won't lock you in either.
How long does this take?
If your workflow looks like a fit, the teardown lands within a few business days — if it doesn't, we'll say so and point you to the instant Analyzer. The audit runs two weeks and ends with a working automation installed. First builds typically ship in two to four weeks — real software, not a slide deck.
What won't you automate?
Judgment calls, relationships, and anything where automation adds risk without real savings. If a workflow is better left to a person, the roadmap says so honestly — we'd rather lose the line item than sell you something that bites later.
Who actually delivers the work?
A senior engineering team. Not subcontracted no-code freelancers, not a course graduate following a template — the people who scope your work are the people who build it.
Where are you located?
Remote-first, working across US time zones. The deliverable is software that runs anywhere; the collaboration happens wherever your team already works.
