The Signature Program
90 days to a working AI system. Built with your team, in-person, at your location. Fixed price. No dependency on Rymalo to keep it running once we're done.
The Philosophy
"The goal is never the AI.
The goal is a business that runs better because of it."
— Zach Hawley, Founder · Rymalo Advisory
Most AI consulting starts with the technology and works backward. We start with your business — where time disappears, where your team is frustrated, where mistakes cost you money — and work forward to find the two or three places AI can actually make a dent.
The R90 is built on a simple belief: a working system your team uses every day is worth more than a perfect system nobody touches. That means we build with you, not for you. We train your team in person, not on a recorded Zoom. We hand off something real, not a roadmap to something hypothetical.
And then we leave. The system runs without us. That's the point. Rymalo is not in the dependency business.
We don't lead with a technology stack. We lead with a conversation about where your business actually loses time and money. The tools come after the diagnosis.
Every working session involves the people who will use the system. Adoption isn't a training problem — it's a build problem. When your team helps make it, they own it.
Documented SOPs. Trained team. A roadmap you can execute yourself. No retainer required to keep the lights on. The measure of success is whether Rymalo becomes unnecessary.
The Offerings
Three fixed-price 90-day programs. One ongoing advisory retainer. One custom software path. The right one depends on where you are and how fast you want to move.
Offerings — starting at $3,500
Option A · Recommended First Step
Discover what matters. Build one thing. Make it stick.
Map the business. Find the two or three places AI can actually help. Pick one. You approve before anything is built.
Build the system side-by-side with the people who will use it every day. Test with real data, not demos.
Train the team in person. Document everything. Leave you fully self-sufficient.

The Scale Play
Ongoing Advisory
Your AI advisor on call. Month after month.
The retainer is for businesses that want ongoing AI guidance without committing to a full 90-day program — or for clients who've completed a R90 program and want to keep building. You get Zach's direct access, monthly working sessions, and a dedicated AI roadmap that evolves with your business.

Honest Take
The retainer is not for everyone. If you're still figuring out whether AI is relevant to your business, start with Option A. The retainer is for businesses that have seen AI work and want to keep the momentum — or for owners who know they need an ongoing guide, not a one-time project.
Custom Engagement
When an off-the-shelf workflow isn't enough. Built for your business, owned by you.
Some businesses have workflows complex enough — or unique enough — that configuring existing AI tools won't get the job done. Custom AI Software is for those situations: a purpose-built AI application, designed around your specific process, owned by your business when we're done. This is not a pre-packaged program. It's a full development engagement, scoped individually, with a mandatory ongoing retainer for support and iteration.
What Custom AI Software Covers
Retainer Requirement
The Advisory Retainer ($4,000/month, 3-month minimum) is required alongside all Custom AI Software engagements. AI software is not a one-time build. Models change. APIs evolve. Your business changes. The retainer ensures you have ongoing support, iteration, and expert guidance as the system lives in production — not a cold handoff after launch.
The Engagement Process
Who This Is For
Honest Take
Most SMBs don't need custom software. A R90 program — built on free or low-cost AI tools configured for your specific workflow — solves 90% of the problems we encounter. Custom software is for the 10% where it doesn't. If you're not sure which category you're in, the discovery call will tell you. We'll be straight with you either way.
