A standing block of hours
Agreed in advance, typically 8 to 10 hours a week.
Fractional AI and automation architect
A senior architect, a few hours a week.
Many businesses need architecture decisions and automation work every week, but not a full-time hire. A Magnolia Systems architect works with you for a set number of hours each week, month by month, and keeps one plan for your systems, your data and your automation.
IRIS (Integrated Reasoning & Intelligence Steward) is our planning assistant. The scoping page saves your answers to your own computer as a file, then offers a link to email them to us.
Who it is for
More systems than anyone has time to look after.
- Owners and operators who have more systems than anyone has time to look after.
- Teams with an automation backlog and no one to decide what comes first.
- Businesses that tried AI tools and want them to fit the way work is actually done.
What you get each month
Hours, a plan, the work and a summary.
One plan, kept current
What is in flight, what is next, and what was decided and why.
Hands-on work
Inside those hours: integrations, automations, reports and fixes.
A short written summary
At the end of each month: hours used, what was delivered, what is next.
Reviews before change
Anything that changes your data, money or access is approved by a person on your side before it goes live.
How it starts
From scoping to a monthly rhythm.
- 01
Scope
You complete the IRIS scoping page and send it to us.
- 02
First session
We confirm your systems, priorities and the people who approve changes.
- 03
Access
We set up access under a role you control. Vendor credentials stay in a vault in your own account.
- 04
Monthly rhythm
The plan, the work and the monthly summary.
What changes the scope
Cost follows the hours agreed.
The number of hours each week, the number of systems and locations involved, and whether the work is mostly advice or mostly building. Cost follows the hours agreed; we do not publish prices because no two scopes are the same.
Where it can lead
Larger projects, when the plan calls for them.
If the plan calls for a larger project — a modernization, a Copilot rollout, or a Magnolia Synergy product — the architect scopes it with you. You decide whether to take it on.
Start with the plan.
