Expanding Productivity — Notion systems for businesses that have to run themselves

02Codeless productivity

Better than third-party software, better than custom code.

Off-the-shelf tools make you work their way. Custom development makes you wait, then makes you pay again every time the business changes. Codeless sits in between and beats both.

High — tribal knowledge

Medium

Low — it's documented in place

One place, not eleven

Docs, projects, records and reporting stop living in separate tools that don't talk to each other.

Visibility you can act on

Status rolls up on its own, so the weekly scramble to assemble a picture of the business disappears.

An operating system, not a pretty workspace

Process first. The layout follows the way work actually moves through your company.

03The offer

What working together actually looks like.

A short, honest engagement with a fixed shape. You always know what comes next and what it costs.

A free discovery call

Thirty minutes on what is slow, manual or invisible in your business today. No deck, no pitch. You leave with a read on whether this is worth doing at all.

Process mapping before tools

We draw how work moves through the company — who hands off what, where it stalls, what nobody owns. Most of the value shows up right here, before anything is built.

A working prototype, fast

Something real in your hands in days, not a specification you have to imagine. You react to the thing itself, and we adjust it while it is still cheap to adjust.

Build, connect and automate

Dashboards, databases and rollups that maintain themselves. Automation is simply part of the work: native Notion triggers, buttons, workers and AI agents take over the repetitive jobs as soon as the structure is in place.

Training so it survives me

Your team learns to extend the system. Documentation lives inside the workspace it describes, not in a folder nobody opens.

Room to grow, on your terms

More teams on the system, deeper reporting, new corners of the business brought in — added whenever you want them, at whatever pace suits you.

Fixed fees, or an advisory retainer

Project work is quoted as a fixed fee before it starts. If you would rather have steady access to a second pair of eyes, advisory retainers are also an option.

04The toolkit

Best-in-class software, connected to everything else.

Built on Notion, used by more than 100 million people, then wired to hundreds of high-end tools through native and API integrations.

AI

Ask literally anything. Notion will answer, using your own workspace as the source.

Docs

Simple, powerful, beautiful. Next generation notes and documents.

Databases

Organize anything, then filter, sort, and connect it however the work demands.

Projects

Manage complex projects without the chaos, at whatever level of detail the team needs.

Calendar

Manage your time and your projects together, in one place.

Automations

Buttons, triggers and scheduled work that runs whether or not anyone remembers to do it.

Slack

Google Workspace

Google Drive

Jira

Email

Make

Thousands more, on request

Anything with an open API can plug into your workspace — Slack, Jira, Google, payroll and beyond are just the start.

Native automation

Automation starts inside Notion.

Four native layers cover almost everything a business asks for — including the work that reaches out to email, calendars, Slack and third-party systems. Automation stays inside Notion unless a particular situation warrants something else.

01 · native

Database automations

A property changes, a date arrives, a button is pressed — Notion updates records, moves rows and tells the right person, on its own. Nothing to babysit, nothing extra to pay for.

02 · native

Personal AI agents

Notion's own agents work across your workspace and out through everything connected to it — email, calendar, Slack and the rest — so routine work gets done by asking for it in plain language.

03 · native

Workers

Workers react to changes in the workspace, and run on a schedule when that is what the job needs. They also reach third-party tools and keep data fully synchronised between systems.

04 · native

Custom AI agents

Agents built around your process: they read, draft, summarise and update, reach out to other systems, and handle the judgement-shaped work that a fixed rule cannot express.

Native first, every time. Fewer moving parts, no second bill, nothing extra to keep alive.

If a situation warrants an outside platform

Make is a codeless automation tool that suits certain circumstances. When one of those comes up it is part of the discussion, and I am certified to build it — but it is likely the exception.

05Decades of experience

Twenty-two years of shipping films on deadline.

The systems behind them have to hold under real pressure, and I spent two decades building exactly those.

Strong recommendation — 10/10

“A rare combination of deep technical expertise and a practical, process-first mindset. Jack translates ambiguous or messy requirements into clear, structured workflows — especially for stakeholders like me who don't come from a process engineering background.”

“He helped us design and implement a Notion dashboard that significantly improved visibility across the business, bringing together time management, task and project tracking, and operational information. You're not just building a pretty workspace, but an operating system that supports real execution.”
