What Happens in the First 48 Hours After You Hire Us

You signed up. You paid. Now what? Most consulting companies make you wait. Schedule a kickoff call for next Tuesday. Fill out an intake form. Wait for a project manager to assign a team. Two weeks later, someone asks you the same questions the intake form already answered.

At ArchiHQ, the first 48 hours look different. Here's exactly what happens, step by step.

Hour 0-2: You Talk, We Listen

You record a voice note describing your problem. Not a formal brief. Not a requirements document. Just talk like you're explaining it to a friend. What's frustrating you. What takes too long. What keeps falling through the cracks.

You can attach screenshots. Photos of your current workflow. A link to the tool that's not working. Whatever helps us see what you see.

No meetings. No calendar invites. No "let's find a time that works for both of us." You record when it's fresh in your mind. Could be 2 AM. Could be between client calls. Async means your schedule stays yours.

Hour 2-6: The Diagnosis

This is where most consultants skip ahead and start building. We don't.

Alex transcribes your voice note. Runs it through a driver tree analysis. What's the stated problem? What's the real problem? What metric are we actually trying to move? What's the bottleneck underneath the bottleneck?

Because the stated problem is almost never the real problem. Client says "we need more leads." Real problem: lead quality is terrible. Client says "we need a dashboard." Real problem: churn is invisible until it's too late.

You get a voice note back. Here's what we found. Here's what we think the real problem is. Here's what we recommend building. You confirm or redirect. No 47-page deck. Just a clear diagnosis in plain language.

Hour 6-24: The Build

Once you confirm the direction, Alex builds. Not a prototype. Not a mockup. The actual working system.

Could be a document processing pipeline that handles your invoices. A lead qualification AI that responds in 30 seconds. A dashboard that shows you what's actually happening in your business. An automation that replaces the 15 hours of manual work your team does every week.

The build uses the same tools and systems behind ArchiHQ itself. 520+ features shipped in 55 days. Same speed. Same quality. Applied to your problem.

Hour 24-48: Ship + Walkthrough

You get the working system. Not a link to a staging environment. Not a "here's what it will look like." The actual thing, running, processing your data.

Alongside it, you get a video walkthrough. Alex walks through what was built, why each decision was made, how to use it, and what to watch for. No jargon. No assumptions about your tech level.

You also get the code. Full access. It's transferred to you. If you want to modify it later, you can. If you want someone else to maintain it, they can. You own it completely.

Day 3-30: Revisions + Support

30 days of async revisions included. Something doesn't work the way you expected? Record a voice note. We fix it. Want to adjust the output format? Voice note. Done.

Most clients use 2-3 revisions. Some use zero because the diagnosis was right and the build matched exactly. The point is: you're not stuck with version 1. We iterate until it works for your specific workflow.

What We DON'T Do in the First 48 Hours

• No kickoff meetings. No "alignment sessions." No calls unless you specifically want one.
• No requirements documents for you to write. You talk, we extract the requirements.
• No team introductions. You work with one person. The same person who diagnoses, builds, and ships.
• No waiting for approvals. No committee reviews. No "let me check with the team."

One person. AI-powered. 48 hours. That's it.

FAQ

Q: What if my problem is too big for 48 hours?
A: We scope it. Big problems get broken into smaller deliverables. First system ships in 48 hours. Next one ships 48 hours after that. The $4,000/month membership handles unlimited sequential builds.

Q: What if I need changes after the 30-day window?
A: The code is yours. You can modify it or hire anyone to. If you want ArchiHQ to keep building, the membership gives you ongoing access.

Q: Do you work with companies outside the US?
A: Yes. Async-first means timezone doesn't matter. We work with businesses from New York to Los Angeles and internationally.

Q: What's the first step?
A: Take the free assessment. 10 questions. We tell you which tier fits. Then you record your first voice note and we start.

That's the Whole Process

Voice notes in. Working system out. 48 hours. No meetings, no decks, no junior staff. Just the system that does the work.

The fox was there for every build. Not a single one took longer than promised.
