Boring Future Essentials · For businesses of 5 to 50 people
We find the work people shouldn’t still be doing by hand. If it’s worth fixing, we set up one fixed-price package to take it off your team, and your team stays in charge.

Time
Half a day
Then one package, from £1,250 + VAT. See every price
Every package is one of our standard builds, set up around your business rather than designed from scratch. That’s what keeps the price fixed.
Request lists, reminders and tracking what has come back.
For exampleAn accountancy practice sends every client their year-end list. Reminders go out on their own, and you can see at a glance who still owes bank statements.
Capturing enquiries from email, web and phone notes, chasing missing details and drafting the quote.
For exampleA roofer’s web form, a voicemail note and an email become one tidy enquiry. Missing details get asked for, and a draft quote is waiting for you to price.
Turning notes, photos and measurements into a draft report.
For exampleA builder sends in the notes, photos and measurements from a site visit, and gets back a draft report in their usual format, ready to check and sign.
Stock, price and delivery checks on routine orders, flagging the odd ones.
For exampleA packaging supplier’s routine orders are checked against stock, price list and delivery dates. Only the ones that don’t add up land on someone’s desk.
Examples are illustrative: the kind of job each package is for, not named clients.
£395 + VAT
Half a day, on-site or remote. We map the one job that eats the most time and leave you a written recommendation, even if the answer is “leave it alone”.
Credited against a package booked within 30 days.
From £1,250 + VAT
Fixed scope, fixed price, set up in a couple of weeks. One job, taken off the team properly, before we talk about the next.
Only recommended if the session shows it’s worth it.
From £50 a month + VAT
Keeps it running and tweaks it as you go: hosting, AI usage, monitoring, fixes and small changes.
Three-month minimum, then rolling monthly.
Fixed prices, plus VAT. Set-up is a one-off; the monthly price covers running it.

Those move to our full service, which starts with Discovery & Design. Services
We only recommend a package when the session shows it should save at least 3 hours a week. At about £22 an hour for admin time, that’s roughly £3,000 a year.
Essentials is for businesses of roughly 5 to 50 people. Bigger, or need something custom? See our services
Your team stays in charge. Before anything is set up, we agree what the package does on its own, what it prepares for a person, and what it leaves well alone.
Chasers, request lists and routine checks against rules you set. You can always see what it did.
Quotes, reports and replies are prepared, then someone on your team checks them and sends them.
Pricing, sign-off, the odd cases and your customers. That’s the job, not the admin.
Spreadsheets are often where the process ended up. That doesn’t mean they need to stay there.
You probably don’t need an AI agent for this. Most of it is reminders, checks and simple rules.
That’s also why there’s no meeting-notes package. If you’re on Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams already does it, and the session will point you to what you already pay for.
Field activity, photographs and timesheets connected to management review, invoicing and visibility. The people on site capture the work and make the calls.
A connected workflow is the outcome. No performance figure is claimed.
Read the caseFor every Essentials client we time the job before set-up and again once it’s running. Those numbers go here, with the client’s permission. Until then, we’ll say a package could save a few hours a week, and no more.
Essentials is built for businesses of roughly 5 to 50 people. If you’re bigger, or the job needs custom work, our main services start with Discovery & Design instead. Either way, we’ll tell you honestly which fits.
Your records stay in the systems you already use: your inbox, your accounts or job software, your shared drive. A package only touches what its job needs, with permissions you agree, and before set-up we’ll tell you in writing what it uses and where. Start with an anonymised example if you like; we agree a secure route before any confidential information is shared.
Monthly support has a three-month minimum, then it’s rolling monthly. The monthly price is what pays for hosting and AI usage, so if you stop, the package stops running and the job goes back to how it’s done today. Anything it has already done stays in your own systems.
Keiaan McLean, Boring Future’s founder, runs the workflow session and sets up your package. When something needs a fix or a tweak, you can pick up the phone to someone who knows how it was built.
The session is half a day. If you go ahead, a package takes a couple of weeks to set up. Your team stays involved where it matters: showing us how the job works today, and checking it before it goes live.
Probably not for most of it. A lot of admin is reminders, checks and simple rules. We use AI where it genuinely helps, like turning site notes into a draft report, and a person checks what it prepares.
Then the recommendation says so. You keep the map of the job and the written recommendation, and “it’s fine, actually” is a perfectly good answer. We only recommend a package when it should save at least three hours a week.
