Problem Identified
Small creative agencies (5-15 employees) were drowning in fragmented project management across Trello, Asana, and messy Google Docs, but could not justify hiring an enterprise systems integrator.

Solution & Packaging
A dual-tier monetization engine: A premium pricing self-serve 'Agency Operating System' Notion template for DIY teams, paired with a premium pricing 'Done-In-A-Weekend' migration service for busy agency owners.
