What Happens in the First 48 Hours with ArchiHQ

People ask me this all the time. You sign up, you pay $1,500, and then what? Do you get a questionnaire? A kickoff meeting? A Slack channel with 14 people you never met?

No. None of that. Here is what actually happens, hour by hour.

Hour 0: You Tell Us the Problem

You record a voice note. From your car, from your desk, from the couch at 11 PM. Does not matter. You describe what is eating your time or costing you money. The more specific, the better the build.

Examples of what clients tell us:

  • We spend 15 hours a week following up with leads manually
  • Our onboarding process has 12 steps and half of them get skipped
  • I need a dashboard that shows me everything without opening 6 different apps
  • Clients keep asking the same 20 questions and my team answers them one by one

That is the whole intake. No form with 47 fields. No discovery call. No alignment meeting. You talk. We listen.

Hours 1 to 4: We Build the Plan

Alex reads your voice note. Not an AI summarizer. The actual person who is going to build the system. He reviews the problem, identifies the highest-impact build, and writes a 1-page brief.

The brief covers:

  • What we will build (specific, not vague)
  • Why this build solves your problem (the logic)
  • How long it takes (usually 24 to 48 hours)
  • What you will own when it is done (code, data, hosting, documentation)

You get this brief in your portal. You read it. You approve or you ask questions. No Zoom call. No scheduling. You reply when you are ready.

Hours 4 to 24: We Build

This is where the AI comes in. Alex does not write every line of code by hand. He uses Claude Code, the same AI tool that built ArchiHQ itself. 285 features in 70 days. The speed is real.

What happens during the build:

  • The system architecture gets designed
  • The code gets written and tested
  • The integrations get wired (your CRM, your email, your database, whatever you use)
  • The whole thing gets deployed (locally on your Mac or in the cloud)
  • Documentation gets written so your team knows how it works

You can watch the progress in your portal. You do not have to. But it is there if you want to see it happening in real time.

Hours 24 to 36: You Review

We send you the working system with a video walkthrough. Not a screen recording of slides. A real walkthrough of your actual system doing the actual thing you asked for.

You test it. You record a voice note with feedback. Too fast? Too slow? Wrong field? Missing a step? You tell us and we fix it. Usually the same day.

Most clients are surprised at this step. They expected a wireframe or a mockup. They got a working system they can use today.

Hours 36 to 48: Refinement and Handoff

We make the adjustments from your feedback. We run the final tests. We deploy the final version. We send you:

  • The working system (running and accessible)
  • The source code (all yours)
  • The documentation (plain language, not developer jargon)
  • A video walkthrough of the final version
  • 15 days of revisions if anything needs tweaking

At this point you have a working AI system in your business. Built for your specific workflow. Running. Saving you time or making you money.

What Happens After the 48 Hours

If you did Founder Setup ($1,500 one-time), you have 15 days of revisions. After that, the system is yours. You keep it. You use it. You modify it. We built it, you own it.

If you are on Membership ($4,000 per month), you send the next voice note. The next build starts. Unlimited requests. One at a time. The cycle repeats for as long as you want. Cancel anytime.

If you are on Pro ($10,000 per quarter), multiple builds run in parallel. Priority response. Quarterly strategy reviews. The full operation.

Why This Works

The traditional consulting process looks like this: intake form, discovery call, scope document, proposal, negotiation, contract, kickoff meeting, weekly standups, progress reports, milestone reviews. 6 months later you have something. Maybe.

Our process: voice note, plan, build, review, ship. 48 hours.

The difference is not just speed. It is that you see the system working before you have to trust us. The proof is in the product, not the proposal.

Try It

Take the free assessment. 7 questions about what is costing you time. We send a custom plan within 48 hours. You decide if you want us to build it. No call. No contract. No risk.

Or check the pricing page to see exactly what each tier includes. And read the case studies if you want proof before you start.

48 hours. That is the pitch. That is the promise. That is what we deliver.
