Done Right, Not Just Fast

Your team is buried in repetitive tasks that drain time and energy every single day.

Data entry, follow-ups, scheduling, reporting — it never ends.

You know AI could help, but you don't have time to figure out where to even start.

The tools exist. The question is how to actually implement them in your business.

You're too small to hire a full ops team, but too busy to keep doing everything manually.

That's exactly the gap Stroik Ops was built to fill.

Services Built for Real Businesses

Most businesses arrive in one of three places: you already know what needs building, you need ongoing capacity without adding headcount, or you're not sure where to start yet. Each one has a clear path below. Every engagement is hands-on — we don't hand you a playbook and leave. We build it with you, document it, and make sure it runs without us.

Workflow Audit

Start here if you know something is wasting your team's time but you can't point at exactly what. We walk through your day-to-day operations, map where hours are actually going, and hand you a prioritized roadmap of what to automate and in what order. It stands alone as a deliverable — you can take the roadmap and run it yourself, or hire anyone you like to build it. If you move forward with us, half the fee comes off your first invoice.

  • Operations deep-dive & process mapping
  • Where automation pays off — and where it doesn't
  • Prioritized roadmap with effort and cost estimates
  • Tool recommendations, including what you already own
  • Yours to keep, whoever builds it
$1,500 · Half Credited Toward Implementation

Automation Build

For when you know what needs to exist. We scope it, price it, build it, and hand it over — fixed scope and fixed price, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Document extraction, vendor notifications, auto-generated reports, systems that talk to each other instead of to a person retyping between them. Anything beyond the agreed scope goes through a written change order first, so the budget doesn't move without your say-so.

  • Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before work starts
  • Integration with tools you already run (Google Sheets, AppFolio, Twilio, and more)
  • Testing, documentation, and a working handoff session
  • 30 days of post-launch fixes at no charge
  • You own everything we build for you
$4,000 – $35,000 · Fixed Scope, Fixed Price

Ongoing Partnership

For teams with more automation work than a single project can hold. You get a dedicated block of hours every month and priority on the calendar — used for new builds, improvements, monitoring, and fixes, in whatever mix that month actually calls for. Predictable cost on your side, predictable schedule on ours. Most clients land here after a first project, once they've seen how much there is to do.

  • A set block of hours each month, from 5 to 20 hours per week
  • New builds and improvements, not just maintenance
  • Priority scheduling and same-week response
  • No surprise invoices — extra hours are approved by you first
  • Three-month minimum, then 30 days' notice either way
From $2,300/mo · 5–20 Hrs per Week

Training & Self-Directed

Your team doesn't need to become AI experts — they need to use the right tools confidently. Every training session is built from scratch: we research the specific tools your staff will use, learn their actual roles, and build the presentation and reference materials before we walk in the room. Not a generic lunch-and-learn. And if you'd rather work through it yourself, our guides give you the same frameworks we use with clients.

  • Custom session built around your team's tools and roles
  • Hands-on practice, not slides at people
  • Role-specific prompt libraries to take away
  • 30-day follow-up support after the session
  • DIY guides and audit toolkit for the self-directed route
Training from $1,800 · Guides from $97

From First Call to Live System

We keep it straightforward. No drawn-out discovery phases, no surprise scope changes.

  1. You Apply

    Fill out our short intake form. Tell us about your business, your biggest time drains, and what you're hoping to solve. We review every submission before scheduling a call.

  2. Discovery Call

    We get on a call to walk through your operations, understand your tools, and figure out exactly where automation can make the biggest impact for your team.

  3. We Build

    We design and implement your custom workflow — testing everything before it goes live. You stay informed at every milestone, no black boxes.

  4. You Run It

    We hand off a fully documented system your team can actually use. We're available for questions, tweaks, and what comes next as your business grows.

Transparent Pricing Ranges

A note on pricing: Good automation is an investment, and we'd rather be upfront about what to expect than get you on a call first. There are two ways to work with us — a fixed-price project when the scope is clear, or a monthly partnership when the work is ongoing — and an audit if you want a map before you commit to either. Every engagement is scoped to your situation, so the ranges below are honest starting points rather than a menu.

  • Tool recommendations, including what you already pay for

  • Scoped and priced in writing before work begins
  • Full build, integration, and testing
  • Team training on the delivered system
  • Documentation and 30 days of post-launch fixes
  • Larger builds split into milestone payments

We don’t just consult on AI.
We built it.

Nervato is our flagship SaaS platform — an AI team in a box for small businesses, built and operated by Stroik Ops LLC. The product version of the work we do for consulting clients, packaged so any small business owner can run it themselves.

Eight Agents, One Platform

Marketing, Bookkeeping, Reputation, Operations, Website, HR, a strategic Consultant, and a personal Assistant — working together as one team. They share signals with each other so the owner gets cross-functional visibility without hiring a leadership team to do it.

Built for Non-Engineers

Every consulting project we’ve ever run started the same way: a small business owner who knew AI could help but didn’t have the time or the tech background to figure out where to start. Nervato is that question, answered — packaged into a product you can actually run yourself.

Designed for the Businesses We Serve

Nervato manages the surfaces small business owners care about most — customer reviews across Google and Yelp, social media, financial visibility, vendor and contract tracking, customer communication. Built for the small business teams that move fast and wear a lot of hats.

Smarter Operations for Teams Who Can't Afford to Waste Time

Small business teams are some of the hardest-working people out there. Everyone wears multiple hats, the to-do list never ends, and there's rarely time to step back and ask: does this have to be this hard?

I started Stroik Ops because I kept seeing the same thing — businesses running on outdated manual processes not because they wanted to, but because nobody had ever shown them a better way. AI and automation aren't just for enterprise companies with big IT budgets. They're genuinely game-changing for small teams when they're implemented thoughtfully.

Stroik Ops is a boutique practice. You work directly with me — not a junior consultant, not a template. Every workflow we build is designed around how your business actually operates.

Practical Over Flashy

We implement AI where it actually makes a difference for your team — not just where it sounds impressive. Every tool we recommend, we'd use ourselves.

Built for Small Teams

Your business doesn't have a 10-person IT department. Our solutions are designed to be maintainable by real people with real workloads, not engineers.

You Own It

When we're done, the system is yours — fully documented, fully understood, fully in your control. We don't build dependencies. We build capability.

Boutique by Design

We take on a limited number of clients so we can do the work right. When you work with Stroik Ops, you have our full attention.
