01 HIRE AN AGENT

Six CVs are on your desk.

Tell us the work that wears your team down and we’ll tell you which one to call in. Same hiring process, same probation, same refund — salaries follow the role, exactly as they do in your firm. If you want the arithmetic behind the salary and the recruitment fee before you book a call, we set it out in what AI automation costs in Sri Lanka, in rupees and dollars. If you run a practice, read the front-desk breakdown in AI for clinics in Sri Lanka before you look at the roster, because it names the four tasks an agent should take and the ones it must never touch.

DUTIES

IN ITS OWN WORDS

“Al Noor Trading’s VAT return is due Thursday and their bank statement is still missing — reminder drafted, waiting for your approval.”

03 WHY IT DOESN’T PLATEAU

You already train staff this way.

Every good firm trains juniors the same way. The junior drafts, a senior marks it up, the junior learns why — and a few years later the senior stops checking. The whole profession runs on it.

This is that apprenticeship, applied to an agent. And unlike the junior, it doesn’t handle one client at a time: the same care Ahmed taught it for Mr. Khalid is applied across the whole client book, at nine in the morning and nine at night.

01

It drafts, and shows its work

Every step visible — what it read, what it assumed, what it proposes to send.

02

A person you named approves — or corrects, with a reason

About ten seconds, on WhatsApp or wherever your team already works.

03

The correction sticks — weighted by who gave it

A partner’s correction outranks an assistant’s. You never write a prompt or maintain a manual.

04

Friday, you see the number

The share of its drafts approved untouched. Made of your own partners’ decisions — which is why we can’t polish it.

// B-Spec is the research behind the roster — and the product it runs on. Open problems published, unresolved.

04 THE OFFER
specshop.devby Humanised Technology Solutions (Pvt) Ltd., Colombo Ref SSD-OFR-03

Offer of employment — any candidate on the roster

Private & confidential · to the managing partner or CTO · in US$, invoiced from Colombo · rupee table below

start date
within seven days of your signature

Counted from the day you sign to the day the candidate is working on your own files — connected to your inbox, WhatsApp and working tools, with the partner who will mark it named in writing. Probation starts the day it starts work, not the day you sign.

recruitment fee
US$9,500

One-off. Half to begin, half when you confirm the hire. Covers deployment, connection to your tools, the full 30-day probation with a number every Friday — and the first month’s salary. Refunded in full if the candidate fails probation, including the half already paid.

salary · four junior posts
US$1,225 /month

Ops & Finance, Support & Sales, Web, Product Lead. Begins the day you confirm the hire. Month to month, cancel any time. Reviews, infrastructure and the Friday number included. Prefer one bill? US$12,250 a year — ten months’ price for twelve.

salary · senior post
US$3,000 /month

Delivery Engineer. Salaries follow the role, exactly as they do in your firm — a firm that paid its engineer what it pays its admin would not be telling you the truth about either. Fixed-price project delivery is available separately if you want a date rather than a hire.

probation
30 days you mark it

Your partner marks every draft: Approve, or Correct with a reason. We count the share approved untouched. The bar is 80% across weeks three and four, on at least 40 reviewed drafts. Below the bar, you don’t confirm the hire and the recruitment fee is refunded in full. Fewer than 40 drafts by day 30, and probation runs on at no charge until there are.

We cannot polish this number. It is made of your partners’ decisions, every click logged, and you hold a copy of the log.

who marks it
one partner you name

Not us, and not a dashboard we control. A partner’s correction outranks an assistant’s, so the person who knows the work is the person whose clicks count. About ten seconds each, on WhatsApp or wherever your team already works.

notice period
month to month

Cancel any time after probation. It doesn’t resign, doesn’t take the client book with it, and everything it learned from your corrections belongs to your firm, in writing — not to us.

first step · the sprint
US$2,300

Two video sessions with a partner. We map your three busiest workflows, put staff-hours against each, and show the candidate working on one of your own anonymised cases. Written report in 48 hours. Fully credited against the recruitment fee if you hire within 30 days.

for regulated firms
Sovereignty tier — +US$7,500, salary ×1.5

Runs on your own infrastructure, data kept in the UAE or KSA. Client data never leaves your environment. A signed data-processing agreement is standard on every tier, not just this one.

the founding five
Salary locked at US$1,225 for 12 months

Five chairs: three for accounting and corporate-services firms, two for engineering teams. None is filled yet — we say so here because this letter never carries an invented performance claim.

In return, once your probation number is real, you let us publish it — with your approval over every word — and you take one call from a firm deciding whether to sign. When the five chairs are taken, they’re taken.
