Before the call

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about process, budgets, timing, references, and what it is like to work with Ivan Boban on systems, website, and operational projects.

What happens if the system doesn't work?

30-day stabilization support is included with every engagement. I stay until it works under real conditions. The project isn't finished until the system survives daily use without me.

How long does a typical engagement take?

A Business Systems Build takes 2-6 weeks depending on complexity, followed by a 30-day stabilization period. I don't rush handoffs — the goal is a system that works independently, not one that technically meets a deadline.

What industries do you work with?

Businesses across the US, UK, and EU — from SaaS founders and agencies to service companies and professional firms. The method transfers because operations problems are universal. If your business runs on processes that depend too heavily on one person, we can likely work together.

Can you share references?

Yes, after an initial diagnostic conversation. I protect client privacy until there's mutual fit. References are shared when both sides are seriously exploring working together.

What if my needs change mid-project?

Scope is fixed at the start for a reason. Changes require a new scope agreement. This protects both of us from scope creep — one of the main reasons projects fail.

Do you work alone or have a team?

I lead all system design personally. Specialized execution (development, design) comes through trusted partners when needed. You always work directly with me — no account managers, no handoffs to junior staff.

What's the minimum budget?

The smallest paid step is the Workflow Diagnostic at €490. Fixed installs start at €1,500 and a Business Systems Build starts at €8,000, all excluding VAT. If your budget is tight, I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth starting. Sometimes the answer is "not yet" — and that's a valid outcome from our conversation.

How do I know this isn't just another consultant?

Consultants deliver advice. I deliver installed systems. I don't leave until it works without me. Read the "Systems Over Hours" deep dive for the full philosophy — it explains why I work this way and what makes it different.
