CRUDA Systems
Your creative energy is the asset. Everything else should run without you.
We find the work in your studio that never needed you, and build it so it runs on its own.
Free · 45 minutes · No pitch
The problem
Your studio knows more than any one person in it.
It lives everywhere.
Pricing in a spreadsheet. Specs in a supplier's PDF. That ceiling detail from 2023 — in someone's head.
So everything comes back to you.
Your team could answer most of it. The part only you know is the part that stops them.
And your own work goes last.
After the emails. After the quote. Whatever's left goes to the thing you actually do.
What we build
What this looks like in practice.
Start here
Speed to Quote
Requests arrive complete. You quote the same day instead of chasing information.
Speed to Proposal
Scope, phases, fees — assembled from blocks you've already written.
Clean Handoff
Every project closes the same way. Nobody builds the package from scratch.
Bigger builds
Presentation System
Pitch, onboarding, partners — one system. Every deck at the same level, in hours.
Specs on Demand
The same twenty questions, answered without interrupting anyone.
Studio Memory
What the studio has learned, where people can find it. Not in one head.
Examples, not a menu. Built on what you already use — nothing gets ripped out. The call tells us which one is worth doing first.
How it works
You leave the first call with a plan. Whether you build it with us or not.
The call
Forty-five minutes. You walk us through how the work actually moves: where a request comes in, what happens next, where it stops, what comes back to you.
What you get back
Within 48 hours: a map of how work moves through your studio. The three places it's costing you most. What those hours are worth in money. And which tools would fix each one, with what they cost and how long they take to set up.
Yours to keep. Use it with us, with someone else, or on your own.
If you want us to build it
We take the first one and build it. One call for the detail, then it's running before we hang up.
What it costs
One problem, start to finish.
The first call
Free
A map of how work moves through your studio, and what's worth building first. Yours whether you continue or not.
Your first build
$499
One system, built and handed over running. If it doesn't work, you get every dollar back.
We're building the first ten cases in this industry. That's the price while we do it — after that, it's priced by the job. No retainer, no lock-in.
Tools and subscriptions stay in your accounts, in your name. We tell you what's needed and what it costs before we start.
Why CRUDA
We're not AI people. We work in your world.
We understand high-end.
Our clients work with RAMSA, Oppenheim, Kobi Karp. Four Seasons Residences. Fisher Island. Abu Dhabi. Rooms where one presentation decides a project.
Ten years in this industry.
Architecture studios, construction firms, interior designers, manufacturers.
And fourteen industries before it.
CPG. Tech. Private equity. Fintech. Hospitality. That's where the pattern recognition comes from.
We know what a spec sheet is.
Why the quote takes four days. Why the person who designs best is the one answering emails at nine.
We look at the process first.
Half the time the answer isn't AI at all.
This is one of three.
CRUDA also builds narrative for high-end A&D studios, and takes early positions in athletes. Same thesis, three doors.
Creativity doesn't run out. The energy to use it does.
Questions
Everything you'd ask on the call.
Forty-five minutes. You walk us through how a project actually moves — where the request comes in, who touches it, where it waits, what ends up back on your desk. We ask about your week, not about software. Within 48 hours you get the map, the three places it's costing you most, and what those hours are worth. No pitch on the call.
A written assessment. How work moves through your studio, where it stalls, what it costs you in hours and money, and which tools would fix each bottleneck — including what they cost and how long they take to set up. It's the same document we'd hand a paying client. Use it with us, with someone else, or on your own.
Because we're building the first ten cases in this industry. We want the cases more than the margin — a studio that can say “this took four days off my month” is worth more to us right now than a bigger invoice. After that, it's priced by the job.
Three calls and access to whatever the build touches. The first is 45 minutes, the second about 30 for the detail — your pricing logic, your exceptions, how you actually decide — and the third is the handover. Everything in between is our time, not yours.
Yes, and they stay in your name. Some builds run entirely on free plans. Others need a paid one. We tell you exactly what's required and what it costs before we start — never after. You own every account, so nothing is hostage to us.
No. If you can explain how your studio works, that's the whole requirement. Most of our clients have never built anything like this. You describe the work, we handle the rest.
Everyone's is. Pricing in a spreadsheet, specs in supplier PDFs, decisions in someone's head. Mapping that is the first call — it's the starting point, not a prerequisite.
Yours, permissioned, never shared between clients, revoked whenever you want. Everything runs on your accounts, not ours. Pricing and client history stay where they are — we structure access, we don't take custody.
We look at the process before we touch the tools. Software on top of a workaround just makes the workaround faster. Half the time what a studio needs isn't AI at all — it's a form that asks the right questions, or a template that stops the rewriting. We'll tell you when that's the case.
Find out where your week actually goes.
Forty-five minutes, free. You'll leave with a map of how work moves through your studio, and the first thing worth building.
