01The problem

You answer the calls, chase the leads, and still can’t say which ad paid.

Software that won’t share.

It keeps your own numbers to itself.

Your jobs or orders live in one app. Your ads and calls live in another. Your invoices sit in a third.

They don’t share with each other, so nobody can say which ad paid.

Someone has to carry the work across.

So you became the glue.

You copy the numbers, chase the updates and fill the gaps.

It’s hard to step away for a week, because it all runs through you.

It wears you out.

Some apps give you a login and nothing else. No export. No easy way to leave.

That keeps you paying.

Your own numbers should never be stuck inside someone else’s app.

We won’t name names. You know the app you’d drop if leaving were easy.

And now it keeps AI out.

02What AI-native means

If you’re the glue between your apps, you’re not AI-native yet.

AI can already answer calls, book jobs and build reports. But it only works on what it can reach. An AI-native business lets AI see every job, order and dollar, whatever its age. So every app you pick is now an AI choice.

AI-native is how you run, not when you started. A shop that opened decades ago can get there too.

Are you the glue? Answer these 3.

  1. Do you copy numbers from one screen to another every week?
  2. Do you call or text someone to learn if a job closed?
  3. Do you wait on someone’s report before you decide?

3 yes answers mean you’re not AI-native yet. That’s how your apps were set up. It can be changed.

03Who we are

We know how tiring it is to be the glue.

You shouldn’t have to carry every number yourself.

We run 3 live companies.

A note from the founder.

I didn’t start Paper St to sell software. Building businesses and brands is my passion. Finding where customers slip away is my favorite part. The engineering is just how we catch them.

Systems obey laws, like physics. If yours (software, AI, whatever) isn’t netting you more, it’s breaking one. Cut it.

Joseph Gomez Founder, Paper St
04How it works

Map it. Build it. Run it.

3 steps toward AI-native. What you own and what you rent is in writing before you pay.

Map: a flat plan with a dashed violet route that ends at an amber pin.
Step 1 · Free

Map it

Your part: a 20-minute call.

What you get, and what happens

You end up with: a written plan, in your hands. Yours whether you hire us or not.

You walk us through how a job moves, from first call to paid.

We mark where money slips out: what to keep, what to cut, what to automate.

Build: two white blocks side by side and a violet block set on top of one.
Step 2 · Fixed price

Build it

Your part: logins, and one person for questions.

What you get, and what happens

You end up with: your apps sharing, even ones that only give you a login. Custom builds are yours once paid. Integrations are rented.

You get a written scope, a fixed price and a “done” list.

Before you pay anything, we check we can get into your software.

Then you pay half, and we build. On a $15,000 build, that’s $7,500.

Turn on: a switch slid to on, its knob at the end of a green track.
Step 3 · Live

Run it

It switches on in pieces, so you see it working before the last piece lands.

What you get, and what happens

You end up with: apps that share their data, so AI can see it.

We check it with you against the “done” list, on your real data.

Then you pay the other half.

Sharpen: three bars climbing to the right, the last one green.
After launch

Keep it running

What you get, and what happens

On integrations, upkeep keeps it working, with a report every month. On custom builds, an optional care plan does the same.

How long it takes, and who does what

On past sites and portals, a working preview came within a day or two. Finishing takes longer. Connections into closed software run on the maker’s clock. We tell you that up front.

Our side: a fixed price, in writing. It only changes if you ask for more.

Your side: access to your apps, and one person who answers our questions.

05The offer

1 build, 2 ways to do it.

The apps we connect share their data, so AI can see that work. You stop copying numbers between them.

The map tells you which, and what to connect first.

What you get, and the terms
  • What you get: a free map, a written scope and the build. Then we check the “done” list with you, on your real data. After launch, upkeep or an optional care plan keeps it working.
  • Pick the switches you want, like the Monday Email. They go in your written scope and its fixed price.
  • Pick the Monday Email. Last week’s numbers from the apps we connect sit in your inbox before you start. Nobody retyped them.
  • Fixed price, in writing. Half to start. Half when the “done” list passes. You see it run on your real data before you pay it all.
  • Before you pay anything, we check we can get into your software. If we can’t, you pay nothing.
  • It’s done for you. Your part is small: logins, and one person for questions.
  • On past sites and portals, a working preview came within a day or two. Connections into closed software run on the maker’s clock.
An integrationYou rent it
Integrations: (1) a box of closed software standing open, its lid set down beside it and its padlock sprung, three violet cables running out of it to (2) your data, out.
  1. 1Closed software, opened
  2. 2Your data, out

Connect software that only gives you a login.

Some software has no open door: no API, no export, just a login.

How it works, and what’s included

We build the bridge, host it and keep it working when that software changes.

Then its data reaches the rest of your business, where AI can use it.

  • Property management
  • Construction and field service
  • ERP and inventory
  • Warehouse and 3PL portals
  • E-commerce back offices
  • School and student systems
  • Vendor portals with only a login
  • Old desktop software with no API

No API or export? Tell us what you run.

  • One closed app, connected to the rest of your business.
  • Data flows one way at the starting price. Both ways costs more.
  • Hosted by us, and fixed when their software changes.
  • A report every month: every run, every failure, every fix.
  • Upkeep runs month to month. No long contract. Stop with 30 days’ notice.

We give you a written scope and a fixed price, free.

One-time build: from $10,000

Monthly upkeep: from $1,000 a month

What upkeep pays for, and why rent

Upkeep pays for hosting, fixes, the monthly report and the right to use our code.

We keep the code. You rent it.

Why rent? Their software changes when its maker decides. Someone has to watch it every month.

We keep the code and reuse what we learn. That’s why the build is priced from $10,000.

A custom buildYours once paid
Custom builds: (1) four locations, each piped into (2) one live dashboard.
  1. 1Your apps, one view
  2. 2One live dashboard

Your apps. One view.

Your numbers live in many apps. Nobody sees the whole business at once.

How it works, and what’s included

We build the one view, on accounts in your name.

With those numbers in one place, AI can see the business, not just one app.

  • One live dashboard across your apps.
  • Screens your team uses, built around how you already run.
  • Your code, your accounts, your data. Yours once it’s paid in full.

One-time build: from $15,000

Care plan: optional, 20% of the build a year

More locations or bigger builds get a fixed price after a free scope.

Why this price

$15,000 covers up to 75 hours of work at our one rate, $200 an hour.

One of your apps is closed? That link is priced as an integration.

  • The price is the price. Overruns are ours.
  • Second half when it works, on your real data.
  • Locked out for good? Upkeep stops.

No fake discounts. No intro prices. The number in your written scope is the number you pay.

06What we promise

What we promise, and what stays yours.

  • The price is the price. If the work in your scope takes us longer, that cost is ours.
  • Second half when it works. You pay it when every line on the “done” list passes on your real data.
  • Nothing new without your yes. Want more? We price it first, in writing, at $200 an hour.
  • Steady upkeep. Your upkeep price holds for 12 months. After that, any change comes in writing 60 days ahead, with the reason.
  • If we’re locked out. If a maker locks us out for good, we tell you that week. Then we stop charging upkeep.

Fair rules, both ways

  • If access stalls. If access is held up for 30 days, we bill the lines that pass. We bill the rest when access comes back.
  • If a bill goes unpaid. After 14 days unpaid, we pause the integration. It starts again once the bill is paid.

What we don’t promise: sales numbers or growth. We promise that what’s on the “done” list works.

What stays yours

  • Your data, your customers and your accounts. Yours on both kinds of work, from day one.
  • Custom builds: the code is yours once it’s paid in full. It runs on your accounts.
  • Integrations: we keep the code, and you rent it. Stop with 30 days’ notice and we hand your data back.
  • No white label. We build with real tools. Custom builds are set up in your name.
  • We never sell your data or share your customers.

07What waiting costs

AI can’t help a business it can’t see.

Every week your apps stay apart, someone copies numbers by hand. And you make big calls from an old picture.

A call you miss at 9 pm can book with whoever answers first. That can be a job you already paid to get.

Every closed app you buy is one more place AI can’t see.

And the business still can’t run a week without you. Right now, the system is you. That makes it harder to grow, hand off or sell.

08What it looks like

Your Monday, once AI can see your business.

Turn on what you need. Add more when you want.

Two are on. Tap the others.

The Monday EmailOn
Last week’s numbers from the apps we connect, in your inbox before you start.
Missed-Call Text-BackOn
Every call you missed got a text back, even the one at 9 pm.
Instant QuoteTurn on
Someone asked for a price at 9 pm. They had a real one that night.
The Numbers PageTurn on
One page shows which ad paid for itself, and the jobs it brought in.

You stop being the glue. The work moves between your apps without you.

What you’re building

What your business looks like once it runs itself.

You can only scale what runs the same way without you. Getting your apps to share is the how. Your goals are the why.

  1. “I want to franchise this.”

    It takes one written method, and numbers counted the same way.

    AI-native each store’s numbers reach you from the apps we connect, even closed ones.

  2. “The same quality at every location.”

    It takes one standard, checked every week.

    AI-native the same switches at every location, and numbers that show which one slips.

  3. “What’s going on at each store today?”

    It takes the same few numbers from every store, with nobody typing them.

    AI-native every store you connect, live on one screen. Nobody calls a manager to ask.

  4. “I want a second location.”

    It takes steps a new hire at store 2 can follow on day 1.

    AI-native store 2 can start on store 1’s screens, built around how you run.

  5. “I want a real week off.”

    It takes work that moves without you passing it along.

    AI-native the 9 pm call gets a text back. The Monday Email still comes.

  6. “I want to sell it, or pass it on.”

    It takes a business that runs without you, and records a buyer can check.

    AI-native every job and dollar tracked to paid, in data that stays yours.

The idea isn’t new. McDonald’s says its franchise system is designed for consistency and high quality at every restaurant.

We help you build the system. We don’t promise a franchise, a sale price or growth.

10Straight answers

The questions everyone asks.

What does AI-native mean?
An AI-native business lets AI see every job, order and dollar, whatever its age. If you’re the glue between your apps, you’re not AI-native yet.
Isn’t AI-native just for new startups?
No. It’s how you run, not when you started. We connect old software too, even desktop programs with no API.
Do I have to replace my software?
No. We build around what works and only replace what’s in the way. We tell you which is which.
What does it cost?
Integrations
One-time build: from $10,000
Monthly upkeep: from $1,000 a month

Custom builds
One-time build: from $15,000
Care plan: optional, 20% of the build a year

You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts. Every price is on our pricing page.
How long does it take?
On past sites and portals, a working preview came within a day or two. Finishing takes longer. Connections into closed software run on the maker’s clock. We tell you that up front. Your written scope says what “done” means before we start.
Do I need to be technical?
No. It’s done for you, wired into the tools you already use. There’s nothing to learn from a manual.
Who owns the data?
You do. All of it. Custom builds run on accounts in your name. Integrations run on our hosting, and we hand your data back if you stop. We never sell it or share your customers.
Do you take a cut of my sales?
Almost never. You pay a fixed price for the build, plus fixed monthly upkeep on integrations. A share of sales is a rare trade, only with large, established companies.
Small team. What if you’re gone?
Custom builds run on your own accounts, so nothing turns off if we’re gone. For integrations, ask about escrow, passed on at cost. With escrow, a neutral company would hold a copy of the code. If we closed, it would go to you.
Do you do websites, SEO or ads?
Yes, when it’s wired into the same system. Then AI can see which page or channel booked jobs. We don’t run a retainer.

Still have a question? Ask it on the call.
