No. You don't sit through anything. You receive 12 sector-tuned templates, 2 of them turn-key, plus vendor stack pricing and a 90-day rollout plan. The optional 30-min call is a walkthrough, not a lesson.
The 12 templates per sector are stress-tested across 60+ sub-categories. If we genuinely cannot tune them to your sub-niche after the intake form, we refund — no friction, no questions. To date this has not happened.
You can. We checked: SG-tagged F&B YouTube content is mostly 60-second Shorts. Stitching it into 12 named workflows for an F&B operation takes ~30 hours. We do it in 7 days, F&B-tuned, with vendor pricing for Wati/n8n/Make and a 90-day rollout plan included.
Honestly: yes, if it fits. After the optional 30-min call, if your team needs ongoing AI-augmented marketing operations (content + ads + GBP + workflows), our retainer is S$1,500–S$3,500/mo depending on scope. We say no when the fit isn't there. The playbook is yours either way.
14-day, no-questions. Singapore is small enough that we cannot afford to disappoint anyone — and we would rather refund than have a frustrated buyer half-using a playbook.
