For first-time founders

Go out on your own
without going it alone.

You are doing the work and trying to catch every lead yourself, with no team behind you. We make sure the lead gets answered, and the good ones land on your calendar.

Book the 30-min call

You get the systems a franchise gives you, without buying into one. Most of our pay is tied to deals closed through the engine. We win when you win.

We write a GTM plan for how you get customers, then set up the engine as fixed milestones. You pay as each piece ships, stop any time, and keep everything. Live in about two weeks.

WHY FOUNDERS TRUST THIS

We ship and run real software every day at BuildGravity and Confluence AI. Every bot passes our full test battery before it talks to a buyer. We've already run one live for a pool shop that sells big-ticket jobs, so yours is not the first.

WHAT YOU GET

An engine that catches the lead and books the call.

Concrete pieces you can point to, with no bloated platform to figure out. Each one runs from the moment a lead lands.

A 60-second reply that sounds like you

There is no one else to pick up the phone. The AI is tuned to your voice and asks the questions you would ask. It texts the lead back before they close the tab, so the work stays yours instead of going to whoever answered first.

One screen, shaped to a team of one

You are running this alone, so a bloated CRM built for a big sales team is the last thing you need. We set up only the screens you actually use, shaped around how you already run the job.

Qualified calls land straight on your calendar

You are also the one taking the call, so the engine only books time with people worth your hour. Every booking shows up on your dashboard the moment it lands, and we run the engine behind it so nothing sits on a screen you never check.

Who we work with

Solo operators and small-business principals where the principal's craft is the value. Their inbox is full and their calendar is theirs. What's missing is the always-on lead-catching layer that captures interest the moment it lands and books calls instead of forcing the principal to chase.

Who we don't

Founders who already have someone else answering the phone and booking the calls. Big platforms that hand you a pile of features and expect you to figure out which one to use. Your craft is why people hire you. The engine's only job is getting the lead to you fast, and then staying out of your way.

Inside the engine

A customized sales engine, set up as fixed milestones and run by us. You pay as each piece ships, stop any time, and keep everything.

A plan built for one person doing everything

We map how a lead reaches you today, from the first message to the booked call. The plan decides your setup before the set-up week starts, so you see the whole shape before we touch anything. You keep the plan whether you continue with us or not.

Live in two weeks, even working solo

Website, phone line, text replies, a booking link, and one simple place to track your leads. We configure the engine we already run every day around your business, so it is ready before you would ever have gotten to it on your own.

Billed as fixed milestones. You pay as each piece ships, stop any time, and keep everything.

We run it, so it is not one more job for you

We operate the engine every month. Your dashboard shows each booking the moment it lands. As your business is ready for more, the same monthly cost covers the next tool, like a simple onboarding page for new customers or a way to track quote versions.

Software that grows with your business.

The two-week set-up is v1. After that, we roll out the custom tools your customer-acquisition motion needs as the business signals readiness. Customer onboarding portals. Quote-version trackers. Project-update dashboards for repeat clients. Document workflows. Same monthly retainer covers the rollout. The DVW4EA campaign engine (in the gallery above) is the same shape, configured for a different industry, running paid lead flow today.

How it works

No six-month assessments or committees. We move fast because we already operate the configuration we ship you.

A 30-minute call

Free, no pitch deck. We talk about how leads reach you now and where your time actually goes, since there is no one else to cover for you. If the shape fits, we move to discovery.

One week to write the plan

We learn how you run the business and write the plan around it. The plan decides your setup and what a qualified lead means for you specifically. You keep the plan whether you continue with us or not.

Two weeks to go live

We configure the engine around your business and turn it on. You do not have to learn new software or run a rollout yourself. We handle the setup so you can keep doing the work only you can do.

We run it. You keep doing your craft.

We operate the engine and roll out custom tools as fixed milestones. You pay as each piece ships, stop any time, and keep everything.

Jason Deichert, founder of Metabus Automation Solutions

Engineered and operated by us

We're Metabus, a small studio out of Alberta. The thesis is simple. AI lets smaller operators run a real business without drowning in the rest. We take the software work off your plate, the parts of running a business that have nothing to do with what you actually do for people.

Metabus is run by Jason Deichert, a working software engineer in medtech who has founded and shipped a portfolio of real products. He runs BuildGravity, whose software a working Vancouver architecture firm depends on every day, and he leads the engineering behind Confluence AI. When you go out on your own with us, the engineer who set up your engine is the one who picks up when you call.

This site is the proof.

The booking calendar above is the one we run. The confirmation SMS arrives within a minute because we configured it that way. The dashboard that catches your lead is the same one we install for every client engine.

Book a free GTM-plan diagnostic

30 minutes, free. We talk about how you plan to get customers and where the leaks are. If there's a real fit, we move to the GTM plan, then set up the engine as fixed milestones you pay for as each piece ships.
