A one-person build studio

Teams move faster with one person who audits the problem and ships the fix.

Consultants deliver decks. Dev shops ship fast without seeing the full picture. I do both, for small teams. Strategy and execution, one simple process in about four weeks.

Flagship The Content Engine: a content system that sounds like you and ranks →

Most work starts with a $3,500 Berg Audit. The call is just 20 minutes to see if it's a fit, no pressure.

Where I Usually Find the Missing Piece

Most founders don't need a giant transformation project. They need one painful workflow turned into a working system.

Lead Systems

Leads are slipping through the cracks

Your website, referrals, events, inbox, and LinkedIn are creating opportunities, but follow-up is inconsistent or manual. I map the path from first touch to next action, then build the system that captures, enriches, routes, and follows up.

Examples

  • Lead intake and enrichment
  • CRM cleanup or lightweight CRM alternative
  • Follow-up automation
  • Founder notification workflows
  • Qualified lead summaries

Founder Brief / Internal Ops Systems

The founder is the operating system

Important work is scattered across email, calendar, Slack, WhatsApp, docs, notes, and memory. I build founder and team briefs that turn scattered inputs into a clean daily view of priorities, open loops, owners, and next actions.

Examples

  • Daily founder brief
  • Meeting and follow-up digest
  • Team priority summary
  • Open-loop tracker
  • Internal operating dashboard

Content Engine

Real expertise, no system for talking about it

Your calls, transcripts, and stories are full of value, and none of it reaches the people who would hire you. I build a voice-locked content engine trained on your material, with a quality gate that refuses to ship AI slop. This is my flagship build.

Examples

  • Voice research and a locked style guide
  • A custom agent skill that writes like you
  • A mechanical quality gate on every draft
  • Publishing automation across your channels
  • Training and a clean handoff

Three ways to start

Flagship

The Content Engine

from $27,500 3–4 week build
Illustration: the Content Engine turns your stories and voice notes into polished, quality-gated content.

A voice-locked writing system trained on your material, with a quality gate that refuses to ship AI slop. Built four times, proven in Search Console. Run it yourself after handoff, or I run it for you.

The Berg Audit

$3,500 one week, fixed
Diagram: The Berg Audit turns stack, GTM, team work, and growth gaps into a written build plan.

I interrogate your stack, your GTM, your team, and your gaps. You get a written diagnostic that names the real problem, the build that fixes it, and what to skip.

Book a Berg Audit

The Berg Build

$18,000 four weeks, fixed
Diagram: The Berg Build runs scope lock, a sprint, then launch, handoff, and 30 days of support across four weeks.

I ship the thing the audit identified. Working software, working system, working growth surface. Handed over with the keys. 30-day post-launch support included. You only buy this after the audit, or after we've worked together before.

How the build works

Real Work. Real Results.

Juniper Real Estate

Content Engine: rescue and rebuild

An agency had stalled on Juniper's site for months. I rebuilt every page with a content engine: 23 pages in a single week, publishing through the end of April. Google impressions went from 40 a day to over 1,500, and AI assistants started citing the work. The kind of build an agency would have quoted at four to six months and never delivered.

  • Rescued and rebuilt after a stalled agency engagement
  • 23 pages shipped in a single week
  • About 20x search impressions in 110 days, still climbing
  • Articles cited in Perplexity, Claude, and ChatGPT
  • Engine runs the blog, Google Business Profile, and LinkedIn

Strategy, design, development, content, and editorial — all one person. This is what AI-native build velocity looks like in practice.

AP Workflow Solutions

Rescue: Naming crisis, buried site, no leads

AP Workflow Solutions builds workflow automation software for broadcast companies. The department was facing a naming overhaul, a new product launch, and a website so buried in AP's corporate navigation it pulled in three leads a month on a good month. The agency hired to fix it delivered nothing. I took over the tech and strategy side: a new standalone site, contact forms placed throughout every relevant page, positioning, and SEO. AI content and automation followed. That is where the 300% lead lift came from.

  • 10x ROI in 18 months
  • 300% lead lift
  • Lead enrichment workflow processing ~10 qualified leads per week
  • Complete rebrand, repositioning, and new website

Do More Dealie

I have been a founder too.

Before Bergit, I invented a physical product, secured a U.S. Design Patent, and built the entire brand from zero. Strategy, content, social media, Shopify, global shipping. No agency. No team. I know what it costs to go from idea to shelf, and I bring that lens to every build I take on.

  • $50k+ in revenue over two years, built from zero
  • 36k social following from scratch
  • Top 5% Shopify traffic
  • U.S. Design Patent D844,228 S

How it works

01

Book the Audit

$3,500, fixed

Pay up front, get on the calendar inside a week.

02

One week of diagnosis

Days 1–7

I interrogate your stack and team, then deliver a written report that names the real problem and proposes the build.

03

Decide

Your call

Book the build, take the report and run with it yourself, or come back when you're ready. No expiration.

04

Four-week build

$18,000, fixed

I ship it. You get working software, full handoff, and 30 days of post-launch support.

Most founders are stuck in the same place.

A strategy consultant gave them a deck. A dev shop quoted six months for the wrong thing. Nobody on either side asked the right questions.

I'm Ryan. Most people call me Berg. I spent 20 years at the Associated Press building content systems, media workflows, and integrations at scale. Now I do both jobs, faster, as one person, for funded small teams who need someone to look at the whole picture and ship the missing piece.

More about how I work

Why Bergit Hits Different

One person, the whole picture.

You don't talk to an account manager and you don't get handed off. The person who sees the problem is the person who ships the fix. No telephone game.

The diagnosis and the build are the same job.

Most founders get a strategy deck from one vendor and a build from another. The seams are where everything fails. I do both, in sequence, as one engagement.

AI-native build velocity.

Cursor, Claude Code, and 20 years of systems experience. Four weeks of my work is what an agency quotes for four months. The work page shows it.

Funded teams only.

I work with founders who treat growth as part of the build, not something to bolt on later. Fixed prices, clear scope, no surprises on either side.
