Pricing & Engagement

How much does AutomateScale cost?+

Three tiers: Starter $5,000/mo (solo operators, 3-month minimum), Growth $12,500/mo (most clients land here), Scale $25,000+/mo (multi-funnel ecosystems).

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute audit call. Five new clients accepted per quarter. Full breakdown at /pricing.

How long is a typical engagement?+

Starter is a 3-month minimum — any shorter and we can't ship a real system. Most Growth/Scale clients stay 6–18 months: first 90 days build the OS layer, next 6 months optimize, after that we're essentially running the back-half of their revenue engine. Some clients have been with us since 2019.

What if I need to leave the engagement?+

30-day notice on Growth and Scale (we'd rather know than not). Starter has the 3-month minimum, then month-to-month. Everything we built is yours — funnels, automations, knowledge bases, agents — and we deliver clean handover documentation.

Do you take equity instead of cash?+

Rarely, and only on Scale tier for companies we'd actively want to be part-owners of. Default is straight cash. If a hybrid makes sense for a specific deal we'll discuss on the audit call — but we don't lead with it.

Process & The Audit Call

What happens on the free audit call?+

Adam personally interviews every applicant — no SDR, no qualifier. The 30 minutes covers: live walk-through of your current funnel, identification of the 3 highest-ICE fixes, frank assessment of whether the Scale System is the right move.

If we're not the right fit, we say so on the call and point you somewhere better. No pitch deck, no follow-up nurture sequence.

What does the application process look like?+

Submit at /apply (5 minutes). Adam reviews within 24 hours. Calendar link within 48 hours if accepted; written feedback either way — you don't have to chase us for a response.

How do I contact Adam directly?+

Audit call is the fastest path. For everything else: hi@automatescale.com for general, legal@automatescale.com for procurement / NDAs / security reviews. Adam reads both inboxes daily.

Results & Proof

What is the 90-day guarantee?+

In writing, every contract: if we haven't shipped measurable improvement against the agreed baseline by day 90, you keep working with us free until we do.

The baseline is specific — qualified leads, ROAS, conversion rate, or revenue depending on the engagement scope. The guarantee is operational, not marketing.

Are there results I can see before I apply?+

Every case study at /case-studies is a named client with real numbers. Notable: Autobroker University ($0 → $2.1M ARR in 11 months), Learn Hungarian Fast (12% → 38% trial-to-paid), Luke Halliday (-73% CAC). 25 public case studies; more are NDA.

Can I see live dashboards or watch the system in action?+

/watch shows real client funnel dashboards (with names redacted where required). /case-studies/autobroker-university walks through one deployment end-to-end. Live demo of your funnel happens on the audit call.

Fit Criteria

Who is AutomateScale NOT a fit for?+

We're not the right call if:

(1) you need a one-off landing page
(2) you're under $50K/mo in revenue and not ad-funded — the math doesn't work until you have spend to optimize
(3) you want a generic "run our ads" agency — we don't run media, we build the system around it
(4) you can't make calendar room for weekly check-ins during the first 90 days

The compare page covers this line-by-line.

What's the difference between AutomateScale and a generic GoHighLevel agency?+

Generic GHL agencies sell you a GHL snapshot and stop. We treat GHL as one layer (L01 — tools) inside a five-layer operating system that includes knowledge bases (L02), agents (L03), SOPs (L04), and infrastructure (L05). The compare page lays out the line-by-line differences.

Tech, IP & Security

Who owns the IP — funnels, agents, knowledge bases?+

You do. Every funnel, agent, prompt library, knowledge base, SOP, and snapshot is delivered to your accounts under your ownership. The Scale System methodology stays ours; everything we build inside your stack is yours. No IP claw-back, no exclusivity lock-in.

What tools and platforms do you build on?+

GoHighLevel as the CRM/funnel backbone (Adam is a Certified Partner). Make.com or n8n for automation depending on data sovereignty needs. Stripe for payments, Twilio for SMS/voice, ElevenLabs for voice agents. Full stack documented at /software.

How do AI agents fit into this?+

AI agents aren't a marketing layer — they're the execution layer for tasks humans used to do manually (qualifying inbound, following up, booking calls, recovering churn). Each Scale System ships with 8 core agents trained on your historical data and tuned weekly. Full library at /agents.

Do you sign NDAs?+

Yes. We sign before the audit call if requested, and our standard MSA includes mutual confidentiality. Several case studies (notably Neil Patel) are NDA-restricted on the public site — the work happened, the scope stays private.

Where is the team based? Data residency?+

Adam is US-based (Miami Beach, FL). Delivery team across US + EU time zones — client time-zone coverage is genuinely 24-hour. Data residency is US (AWS us-east-1 / us-west-2) by default; EU residency available on request. Full posture at /trust.

Avatar Fleet & Video Layer

What's the Avatar Fleet and what does it actually do?+

The Avatar Fleet is the video layer above the 8 named agents — a photorealistic founder clone (HeyGen) + voice fingerprint (ElevenLabs) + a multicam production pipeline that lets you ship personalized loom outreach, onboarding videos, course content, and ad creative at scale without ever being on camera again after the initial capture session. Same identity, same KB, same routing — different surface. Full spec at /avatars.

Do I need to be on camera myself?+

Once. The initial avatar-capture session is ~90 minutes in good light with our shot list. After that, every personalized video is generated from the avatar + voice clone driven by your knowledge base + script templates. The output is indistinguishable from you on camera — including the cases where you're saying something you've never literally recorded. Most clients ship 100+ avatar-minutes/week with zero new filming.

Which tiers include the Avatar Fleet?+

Included from Growth tier ($12,500/mo) and up. Starter tier doesn't include the avatar capture or production pipeline — operators that small typically don't have enough video distribution surface area to justify it yet. Avatar Fleet adds ~14 days to the deployment timeline, runs on top of the existing agent layer, and is fully owned by you (HeyGen + ElevenLabs accounts under your name).

What if my voice or face changes — is the avatar locked in?+

Avatars and voice clones are re-trainable. We re-shoot the avatar once per year as part of Growth/Scale retainers; voice fingerprints can be refreshed any time you record a new 10-minute sample. Same canonical identity stays on the contact record either way — visitors don't experience a jarring "new Adam" moment when you update.

Business OS & Knowledgebase

What is a Business OS?+

A Business OS is your company's institutional knowledge — SOPs, docs, transcripts, history, decisions — structured into one knowledgebase and exposed through MCP (the Model Context Protocol). Attach it once and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and your internal tools all answer with your real context instead of starting from zero. Full detail at /business-os.

How is a Business OS different from the Scale System?+

The Scale System is the revenue engine — funnels, agents, the playbook — built for your offer. A Business OS is the knowledge layer underneath: a queryable, MCP-native knowledgebase any AI tool can use. The Scale System ships one for your funnel; the Business OS productizes that layer for your whole company.

What do I get with a Business OS build?+

The knowledgebase itself (ingested, structured, RAG-indexed), a live MCP server, connectors for Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor and your automation stack, a refresh pipeline so it stays current, and scoped access governance. Adam personally scopes every build — apply and tell us where your knowledge lives today.

Partnerships & White-Label

Can you white-label the system for an agency?+

Yes — Scale tier includes white-label rights to the GoHighLevel snapshots and SOPs so an agency can deliver the same outcomes to their own clients. Adam also runs the Certified Operator program for solo operators who want the methodology and ongoing support. See /partners.
