Case Studies

Wild Operations Solved.

Here’s what happens when we actually work together. Real problems, real work, real outcomes.

If something here sounds familiar, let’s talk.

Workflow Automation

The contractor onboarding process that ran on memory and hope

Two-day intensive

Megan was running her business without a proper system for bringing contractors on board. Every time someone new came in, the same steps happened: manually, inconsistently, and mostly from memory. Nothing was written down. Nothing was automated. It worked until it didn’t, and the mental overhead of holding it all together was quietly adding up.

She knew something needed fixing. She just hadn’t had the space to fix it herself.

We worked through it together over two days. The goal wasn’t to build something impressive. It was to build something that would run without her: mapping the process, configuring the automations, and handing it over in a way she could actually use from day one.

“After working with Ellie for a couple of days, I feel much less discombobulated.”
Megan
  • Contractor onboarding mapped, documented, and automated
  • Manual steps removed — the process runs itself
  • Clear headspace to focus on the actual work
  • Handed over properly, not just built and left
Process Rescue

Nine hours lost trying to fix a broken content workflow. Then she called.

Process Street audit and rebuild

Stephanie had solid systems. She’d invested in building them properly and they’d served her well for years. Then she made some DIY changes to her blog creation workflow in Process Street, and things started to unravel.

Duplicated tasks had created field conflicts throughout the whole workflow. Conditional logic had broken. Variables weren’t mapping correctly. She spent nine hours trying to untangle it herself before accepting she needed someone who knew what they were doing.

  • Full audit of the existing workflow — identifying every duplicate field, broken variable reference, and logic error across the whole setup.
  • Structured rebuild of the blog creation workflow: clean field naming, correct variable mapping, and conditional logic that actually works.
  • Proper template methodology put in place so future changes don’t create the same problem again.
  • Broken workflow diagnosed and rebuilt from a clean foundation
  • Content team able to run the process without workarounds
  • Nine hours of frustration resolved in a fraction of the time
  • Structure in place to prevent the same issues recurring
Strategy + Build

Too many ideas, evenings only, and a business that needed a clear path forward

Strategic board report, ROI analysis, and episode finder tool

Ali was building a coaching and community business around midlife purpose. She had a podcast, a social presence, and 150 community members. She had no shortage of ideas either: courses, paid communities, live webinars, platform migrations, a full AI dashboard. The problem wasn’t ambition. It was that she had roughly 10 usable hours a week, evenings only, and no way to tell which bets were actually worth making.

Everything felt urgent. Nothing had been ranked. And without that ranking, she was at risk of spending her limited time on things that looked good but wouldn’t move anything.

  • Full board report covering every idea and project on the table, scored across four dimensions: time fit, cost, revenue potential, and leverage. Everything ranked against her actual constraints.
  • 90-day prioritised action plan structured as Now / Next / Later, with specific reasoning for why certain ideas needed to wait regardless of how appealing they looked.
  • Custom podcast episode finder tool built and handed over for embedding on her website, so listeners can find relevant episodes by topic without wading through the back catalogue.
  • A clear picture of which four moves to focus on first, and why
  • Projects that weren’t a fit for the current stage moved off the plate
  • A working episode finder tool live on the site
  • A strategic framework she can return to as the business grows
Pre-Launch Strategy

A pre-launch business with competing priorities and no clear sequence to follow

Strategic board reports, launch roadmap, action plan

Rachel was building a specialist breathwork practice from scratch, with a clear methodology, a defined market, and a launch date on the calendar. What she didn’t have was a sequence. There were pricing decisions to lock, brand assets blocked on unresolved colour choices, a certification to complete, a Founders Circle to organise, hotel partnerships to pitch, and a social presence to activate, all with dependencies that weren’t yet visible.

Without a clear order of operations, everything felt equally urgent and nothing was getting finished.

  • Business snapshot and executive summary framing the opportunity clearly: what the competitive advantage actually was, and what the primary commercial milestone needed to be.
  • Now / Next / Later action plan sequenced by what unlocked the most value fastest, with explicit reasoning for why certain actions had to happen before others.
  • Two board reports produced across April and May 2026, updated as priorities shifted and new information came in.
  • Risk register and mitigation notes covering the blockers most likely to delay launch, including the brand colour discrepancy, insurance requirements, and the founder visibility decision.
  • A clear, sequenced path to launch with the logic made explicit
  • Blockers identified and prioritised before they could cause delays
  • Strategic clarity on the anchor hotel partnership as the primary commercial goal
  • A living document to return to as the business moves through its phases
Platform Relaunch

Seven years dormant, no systems, no tracking, and a relaunch to pull off

Site audit, content automation, UTM tracking, social strategy

Paul had a genuine platform with real potential. He’d built it, stepped away, and was now coming back with energy and a clear view of what it could become. What he didn’t have was any of the infrastructure to get there: no content pipeline, no automation, no way to measure what was driving traffic, and a social presence that hadn’t been touched in years.

A relaunch was happening either way. The question was whether it would be built on guesswork or on proper systems.

  • Full audit of the site and social presence: what was there, what was broken, what was missing. Delivered as a detailed report covering feature requests, bug reports, UX and design recommendations.
  • Content planner and automation engine built around Make.com, with a Monday / Wednesday / Friday posting schedule across Facebook, X, and Pinterest.
  • UTM tracking configured so every traffic source is measurable from day one, with no guessing about where visitors are coming from.
  • Social platform research across all three channels before committing to a setup: where the audience is, what content works, and how to wire it together without creating a maintenance problem.
  • A clear audit and roadmap to work from
  • Content automation pipeline ready to scale
  • UTM tracking live from day one
  • Social strategy grounded in research, not assumption
  • The infrastructure to grow: now it’s about execution
Latest Build

A job search pipeline that finds roles, scores them, and writes the outreach — without me doing any of it manually

n8n workflow, Claude AI, Google Sheets

Searching for remote work manually is tedious and inconsistent. Trawling job boards, assessing whether each role is actually a good fit, and then writing a tailored outreach email for every one worth applying to is a process that takes hours and is easy to deprioritise.

I wanted the whole pipeline automated so I could open a spreadsheet, see what was worth applying for, and have the outreach already written.

Built an n8n workflow that runs every 6 hours, scrapes remote job listings, and passes each one to Claude. Claude scores the role for fit out of 10 and drafts a personalised outreach email. Everything lands in a Google Sheet: role details, fit score, and a ready-to-send email. All I do is decide which ones to act on.

  • Scrapes remote jobs automatically every 6 hours
  • Claude scores each role for fit on a scale of 1 to 10
  • Personalised outreach email drafted automatically for each role
  • Everything added to a Google Sheet so I can see at a glance which ones are worth applying for
  • Job search runs in the background every 6 hours without me initiating it
  • No time spent reading listings that aren’t a fit
  • Outreach is written before I’ve even looked at the role
  • Decision-making reduced to one column in a spreadsheet
Content Automation

A content planning and posting engine that runs without me touching every step

GTM content workflow, multi-platform scheduling

Content was always the thing that slipped. Not because the ideas weren’t there, but because turning ideas into scheduled posts across multiple platforms meant too many manual steps, and manual steps are the first thing to go when you’re busy.

I needed a system that would take something from the planning stage through to published, without me having to shepherd it every step of the way.

Built a Go-To-Market content workflow that connects planning, drafting, review, and scheduling into a single automated pipeline. Ideas go in at one end. Formatted, platform-ready content comes out the other, queued up and ready to post without me manually handling each piece.

  • Content goes from idea to scheduled post without manual steps in between
  • Consistent output without it consuming the week
  • Platform-specific formatting handled automatically
  • Space to focus on ideas rather than logistics
Inbox Automation

An email inbox that sorts itself so I’m not starting every day in the noise

Automated triage, labelling, and prioritisation

An unmanaged inbox is a slow tax on every day. Opening email and immediately having to decide what matters, what can wait, and what can be ignored is decision fatigue before the actual work has started. I wanted that decision made for me before I ever opened it.

Built an automated triage system that sorts incoming email by type and priority, applies labels, and surfaces what actually needs attention. Newsletters, notifications, and low-priority threads get handled or archived automatically. What’s left when I open my inbox is a short list of things that genuinely need a response.

  • Inbox is pre-sorted before I look at it
  • Fewer decisions first thing in the morning
  • Nothing important gets buried in noise
  • Time spent on email is time spent on things that matter
Custom Build

A CRM built around how I actually work, not how a generic tool assumes I do

Custom client relationship system

Generic CRM tools are built for sales teams, not solo operators. They come with pipelines, stages, and fields that don’t map onto how a one-person consultancy actually runs, and they create more admin than they remove.

I needed something that tracked the right things for my business, surfaced follow-ups without me having to remember them, and didn’t require me to maintain a tool I’d built for someone else’s workflow.

Built a custom CRM that fits the actual shape of client work: prospect to active client, follow-up reminders, project status, and communication history, all structured around how I work rather than how a product manager imagined I might.

  • Client status visible at a glance without digging
  • Follow-ups surfaced automatically, nothing falls through
  • No time spent maintaining fields that don’t apply
  • A system I actually use because it fits how I work
Custom Build

Building my own landing pages so I don’t have to pay someone on Fiverr every time I need one

Custom HTML pages built in-house

Every time I needed a new page on the site, I had two options: wait until I had time to figure it out, or pay someone else to do it and wait for them instead. Neither was particularly appealing for something I needed quickly and wanted to look exactly right.

Page builders do some of it, but not the way I want. Hiring someone for a simple landing page is slow and expensive for what it is. I wanted to be able to build what I needed, when I needed it, without it being a whole project.

I now build my own custom HTML pages: branded to my exact colour palette, structured the way I want them, and ready to drop straight into WordPress as a custom HTML block. This page is one of them. The Lab page is another. No page builder, no Fiverr brief, no waiting.

  • New pages built when I need them, not when someone else has availability
  • Full control over layout, colour, and structure
  • No ongoing cost every time the site needs something new
  • Pages that actually look like my brand, not a template
