I build the boring AI that actually works.

Somebody on your team spends two hours a day moving information from one place to another. I automate that. No chatbots, no strategy decks.

How I work

  1. 01

    Capture

    Pull the source on a schedule, whether that's a court docket, a state web page, a forum, or a job board. Raw text in. Nothing is trusted yet.

  2. 02

    Parse

    Turn it into typed fields. Code does the parsing wherever rules can decide; a model gets called only where they can't. Every record carries a confidence score so a bad parse is visible instead of silent.

  3. 03

    Dedupe

    Fingerprint every record and check it against the ledger before anything else happens. Repeats get their last-seen date bumped. They never get re-read, re-scored, or re-billed.

  4. 04

    Enrich

    Add what the source didn't give you: an owner name, a parcel, a mailing address, a relevance score. Cheap lookups run before expensive ones, and rule-based filters run before any model call.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    Put the result where the person already looks. An email before 6am, a row in their sheet, a PDF in their inbox. If nothing came through, the digest says so, because silence reads the same as a broken pipeline.

WHERE THIS COMES FROM

Before the work above, I spent nine years doing this for real estate investors. Public records, list building, direct mail targeting. Same craft: find the data nobody is reading, work out who it points at, put it in front of the person who can act on it. Clients used it to locate more than 723 off-market houses.

The KPIs showed that Ryan's lead gen had the best ROI. We ended up shaving off all other channels but Ryan.

What are you still doing by hand?

Bring one thing you or your team does by hand every week. Doesn't matter how small or how dumb it seems. Write it up below in a few sentences.

I read these in the evening. Within two business days you'll get an email back from me saying whether it's worth automating, roughly what it would take, and if the answer is no, I'll tell you that too.

Or email me directly at byhand@lvlhq.com
