FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
Who is this for?
We work for owners and leadership teams of mid-sized companies who will not trade control for a little speed. Our clients run companies of twenty or more people where one workstream eats hours every week, or companies with a department that costs enough to matter, up to millions a year. They want the work fixed, not studied. We are not the right call for a software migration, a strategy deck, or a tool to buy. When the real problem is a decision no one has made, we say so.
What solutions do you provide?
We redesign how value moves through a company and then build the agentic AI that carries the routine work, in four engagements. The Workflow Sprint maps and rebuilds one workstream with agents inside the software you already use. The Enterprise Blueprint reads one department through its systems, sorts every step, and ends in a value model and a clear go or no-go. The Agentic Rebuild rebuilds that department inside your systems. Care keeps the agents governed, tuned, and current after the build. Every engagement starts with one workstream or one department.
What is the typical length of an engagement?
A Workflow Sprint runs two to three weeks from kickoff. An Enterprise Blueprint takes three to four weeks. An Agentic Rebuild usually runs four months, and three to six depending on the department. Care continues by the month after the build. Most clients start with a Workflow Sprint on one workstream. A company where one department carries the cost starts with an Enterprise Blueprint, and a Rebuild follows only a Blueprint that says go.
What does it cost?
The Workflow Sprint is $12,500, fixed, half at signing and half at handover, and Sprint Care is $2,500 a month. Each engagement has a defined scope. When the work in front of you is larger than the scope, we say so before you sign, and the extra work becomes its own engagement. The Enterprise Blueprint, the Agentic Rebuild, and Enterprise Care do not carry printed fees; a first conversation is where that discussion begins.
How do you work with the software we already use?
We build inside your tools, and nothing moves to new software. We work in your email, your accounting software, your CRM, and your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Your staff learn no new screens. The agents are built inside those systems to read, gather, draft, check, and queue the work, and a person's approval sits on every step that touches money, customers, or contracts. New software for resale, custom application development, website builds, and data migration between systems are not part of an engagement; each goes on a "later" list at handover.
What happens to our data?
Your data stays in the systems that already hold it, because we build inside your tools rather than moving work to new software. Data migration between systems is not part of an engagement, and neither are changes to your IT security policy. The agents read and draft within your existing email, accounting software, CRM, and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and a named person approves every step that touches money, customers, or contracts.
What happens to our people?
Your people move to the steps that decide quality, and they spend far more of their time on the work only they can do. The agents take the steps that only move the work. Money, liability, relationships, and the steps that decide quality stay with a named person. That person decides on a case the agents have already assembled, and spends nothing on gathering it. The owner decides which kinds of work need a person and which can run on a standing approval. Your staff learn no new screens, and the people who run the work after handover understand how it runs and why each gate sits where it does. Your team owns what we build.
How do we start?
Start a conversation: tell us which workstream or department costs more than it should. A first conversation is free, runs about thirty minutes, and Doug Evans takes every one. It ends with a plain answer: an engagement that fits, or the reason none does. Use the form on the Contact page, or write to us at devans@structuralgrowthworks.com. Structural GrowthWorks is in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
What is an agent, and what does one do here?
An agent is software that carries a step needing context and judgment, and it asks a person only for exceptions and approvals. Our agents read, gather, draft, check, and queue the work. Your people decide, approve, and answer for the result. We never hand the agents the authority: a person approves every step that touches money, customers, or contracts, and the agent drafts while a person sends. Routine steps with no judgment in them run as plain code, not as a model. An agent sits only where judgment is needed, and a person wherever quality is decided.
What is left when you finish?
Your team owns everything we build, and five things stay with you. The workstream mapped as it really runs, not as the manual says it runs. Agents built inside your existing tools. A person's approval on every step that touches money, customers, or contracts, each one tested. The before-and-after numbers: hours a week, turnaround time, and errors, recorded at the start and again at handover. A recorded walkthrough and a written guide, so the people who run the work after handover understand how it runs.
How is this different from buying an AI tool?
An AI tool automates the process you already have, and faster broken is still broken. We redesign the work before we build anything. Architecture tells a company where to intervene; agentic AI tells it what has become possible at that point. Most firms practice one discipline and borrow the other. We do both, in the same engagement, and we measure the company before and after. Every engagement measures twice before it changes anything: once to find where the structure holds the company back, and once to decide what agentic AI can now do at that point.
