Self-serve
Lab notes
$0Always
Follow the UGREEN server build, reuse the architecture patterns, and learn from the experiments without an account.
- Homeserver build logs
- Local LLM experiments
- Automation design patterns
- Failures and tradeoffs included
A small, practical second opinion
Pressure-test the idea before the install.
Send one local AI, homeserver, or automation plan. For $10, I'll review the shape of it and point out the first useful version, hidden risks, and unnecessary complexity.
Founding review
Idea sanity check
$10USD · one-time
Get a focused asynchronous review before you spend a weekend installing the wrong stack or automating the wrong thing.
- One local AI, homeserver, or automation idea
- Review of the proposed architecture and data flow
- Checks for privacy, permissions, failure paths, and needless complexity
- A concise written recommendation and next step
- One asynchronous follow-up question
What the price covers
One idea, made sharper.
- One local AI, homeserver, or automation idea
- Review of the proposed architecture and data flow
- Checks for privacy, permissions, failure paths, and needless complexity
- A concise written recommendation and next step
- One asynchronous follow-up question
Not included: remote access to your server, hands-on installation, hardware troubleshooting, custom code, a live meeting, or ongoing support.
The founding price is $10 USD, excluding tax where applicable. I confirm fit and send payment instructions before starting.
How the review works
From ambitious idea to useful first version.
Describe
Explain the job, current setup, available server, and what success would look like.
Constrain
Include privacy needs, services you already run, and anything that must stay untouched.
Review
I map the data flow, failure points, smallest useful version, and likely overengineering.
Build
You receive a written recommendation and can ask one focused follow-up question.
Reserve a review
Bring one job you want the server to do.
The best request describes a real recurring problem, not a shopping list of AI tools.
This is deliberately small and asynchronous so the founding price can stay at $10. Implementation or ongoing support would be a separate conversation.
Tell me about the idea
Review FAQ
Before you reserve.
Do you need access to my server?
No. Describe the goal and architecture without sharing credentials, private data, public IP addresses, or remote access.
Will you choose hardware for me?
The review can flag obvious resource mismatches, but it is not a hardware benchmark or purchasing consultation. Include the hardware you already have.
Will you build the automation?
No. The $10 scope is the architecture and first-step review. Hands-on implementation would need separate scope.
Why only $10?
You bring one clearly described idea and receive a concise asynchronous response. There is no live call, server access, installation, or open-ended support.
