Contracts
Does Nate offer examples of contracts? Terms? Im also curious, how long do you support your implementation for? Or do you just give them 5 or 15 days to report bugs then request payment? Or you request payment once completed and handle bugs up to a certain amount of days?

@Hicham Char so you request final payment after the 30 day period ends? Or request it after final approval, AND guarantee 30 days of bug support post final payment?

Need Dashboards?
I can help businesses prove the ROI of automation. I’m a Data Analytics Consultant! If you—or your clients—need clear insights to guide automation decisions or hard data to validate impact, I’m your person. Dashboards don’t lie. They reveal operational gaps, uncover revenue opportunities, and show undeniable results after implementation. Let’s build the data story that sells your automation. 📈

@Hicham Char saving labor hours is the easiest thing to measure, but there is definitely a lot more that can be measured! Things like better data, fewer mistakes, or faster decision-making do make a real difference, they just take a little more planning to track. I usually set a baseline before anything is implemented, then compare things like error rates or how long a process takes afterward, percentage increase in things like revenue, intakes, booked appts(set rate), conversion rates, no show rates, growth rate etc. Once you look at the before-and-after, those “harder to measure” improvements become pretty clear — and honestly, they often end up being more valuable than the time savings.

Whats best for creating images for posts?
Which Node/App do you think works best for creating images for something such as LinkedIn posts? Which is also working best for the actual content creation? I usually create and schedule them in Canva. Id like to still use Canva at least for some part of this automation. Would love your suggestions!!!

Agency charged client $890/month for "monitoring and maintenance." I asked to see the logs. Last login: 6 months ago. Last change: 11 months ago.
Agency charged client $890/month for "monitoring and maintenance." I asked to see the logs. Last login: 6 months ago. Last change: 11 months ago. The subscription scam nobody talks about. THE MEETING Coffee with a potential client. Small e-commerce owner. Her: "I pay $890/month for automation maintenance" Me: "What does that include?" Her: "Monthly monitoring, updates, optimization" Me: "Can I see your automation?" THE INVESTIGATION Logged into her n8n instance. Checked activity logs: - Last user login: 6 months ago - Last workflow modification: 11 months ago - Last execution: Running perfectly every day - Errors in past year: 0 Her: "They send monthly reports though" THE MONTHLY REPORTS Pulled up 6 months of reports. All claimed: - "6-8 hours invested" - "Multiple optimizations" - "Issues resolved" - "Proactive monitoring" All completely fabricated. Nobody logged in. Nothing changed. Reports were templates. THE MATH Her payments: - $890/month × 12 months = $10,680/year - Last actual work: 11 months ago - Money paid for nothing: $9,790 She'd been paying for almost a year of nothing. THE CALL She called them on speaker. Her: "Your last login was 6 months ago" Agency: "We monitor externally" Her: "Nothing's been changed in 11 months" Agency: "If it's not broken, we don't touch it" Her: "Then why am I paying $890/month?" Silence. Agency: "The retainer covers availability" Her: "Availability to not log in?" She canceled. THE REALITY Looked at what they built. Simple workflow: - New order triggers - Send confirmation - Update inventory - Create shipping label Runs perfectly. Needs zero maintenance. That's WHY they never logged in. THE HONEST PRICING Her: "Can you take this over?" Me: "There's nothing to take over. It runs fine" Her: "What if something breaks?" Me: "I'll rebuild it in 10 minutes with Skada AI Charge you $500" Her: "No monthly fee?" Me: "Not for doing nothing" THE PATTERN I've audited 8 "maintenance contracts" now. Average findings:

Hmmm. Don't most AI Automation specialists, Web Developers etc do this though? Offer a maintenance plan? And its usually to be available should something break or for minor changes the client needs should something change. Things don't just break because something is badly built, it can break due to badly entered data, schema changes, client business processes change and so on. Some clients prefer having the reliability that they can shoot you a message or submit a ticket, and you will prioritize them because they pay a maintenance fee. I will be offering clients maintenance plans for my Data Analytics service which includes API ingestions, data warehouse, pipelines and dashboards that I have built and possibly monthly or quarterly meetings to review their KPIS and metrics or for questions. Minor tweaks and fixes to anything in the infra is included. They will get access to a client portal to submit a ticket. Having a fee helps me prioritize the client because I am working on other projects keeping the time allotted to them in mind. Its like having a subscription to an app, if you don't login and use it you still have to pay for it. Its there should you decide to use it. You're not gonna want to go through the trouble of re-subscribing, entering all your information again or risk your previous data being archived after extended time of inactivity. (maybe not the best analogy but you get the picture) Those are just my thoughts, Id like to hear from both sides of this coin 🙌.

@Angel Maimane Thanks. I'd say the biggest bottleneck I’ve seen is how many businesses collect tons of data but struggle to actually use it effectively especially when the way they capture data is not suitable for analysis, or processes aren’t automated or connected end-to-end. Cleaning, structuring and connecting the data is always the most difficult part.

@Christian Rivadeneira Yes! That's why I'm exploring the different ways I can combine both of these services... the possibilities can be endless 🙌.
