Overview:
Think of it like a Lego kit for solo consultants. You drop in your expertise, and it spits out clean, fixed-scope offers with clear pricing, a client-facing portal, delivery timelines, and all the SOPs behind the curtain so you can crank out consistent results. The AI pulls from your chosen modules to auto-generate proposals and statements of work, and the system nudges clients into renewals and upsells you already preconfigured. Net effect: fewer bespoke fire drills, faster closes, less scope creep, and a more predictable revenue rhythm.
The Trends:
Productized services are mainstreaming for solo consultants—predefined packages and SOPs replace bespoke proposals to increase predictability and margins. (1, 2)
AI is being embedded into proposal and SOW generation—tools and workflows now auto-draft polished proposals, timelines, and SOWs from discovery inputs. (3, 4)
Pricing and scoping calculators (peer-data and formulaic tools) are becoming core for solo pros to justify rates and convert clients faster. (5, 6)
Client portals and onboarding workspaces are standard expectations—centralized portals cut onboarding time and reduce friction across projects. (7, 8)
Market demand and gig-economy growth mean solo consultants will pay for 'business-in-a-box' platforms that stabilize revenue (subscriptions, renewals, upsells) and save time. (9, 10)
Your Answer:
All-in-one 'factory OS' that converts a solo consultant's expertise into packaged, fixed-scope offers — scoping wizards, repeatable SOPs, pricing calculators, client portal pages and delivery timelines bundled as ship-ready products.
Fixes feast/famine and margin pressure by standardizing delivery (less bespoke work), enabling upfront fixed pricing, and automating renewals and upsells so revenue becomes predictable and higher-margin.
Speeds sales and reduces friction: AI generates polished proposals and SOWs from selected modules, pricing calculators produce transparent quotes, and onboarding portal pages create a professional first impression that converts.
Reduces scope creep and scales output for one-person teams with modular scoping wizards and template-based timelines/SOPs that let a solo operator deliver more clients without hiring.
Your Roadmap:
MVP: build a single niche 'offer kit' (e.g., SEO audits for solo consultants) — design modular service blocks (discovery, deliverable, reporting, renewal).
Use no-code: Webflow or Carrd for landing + Memberstack/Outseta for client portal pages; Airtable as product catalog & SOP storage; Zapier/Make to connect flows.
Add AI: use GPT (via API or Make integ.) to generate proposals, SOWs, onboarding emails and customizable delivery timelines from selected modules.
Pricing & scoping: implement a simple calculator in Airtable + Glide or Softr that outputs a quote and downloadable PDF proposal.
Launch: recruit 5 beta users from your network, onboard them manually, gather feedback, iterate SOP modules and add 1-click renewal/upsell templates.
