Shouldered AI / For land surveyors and surveying firms
You be the surveyor. We shoulder the rest.
Boundaries, topo, elevation certificates, construction staking. Shouldered gives your surveying firm one HQ that answers quote requests, schedules field crews, tracks closing deadlines and recordings, and gets every invoice paid. You find the line. We shoulder the rest.
"Quote requests need research before I can price them."
Lydia at the Sales Desk gathers the address, purpose and deadline so you can price in minutes.
"Closing dates squeeze the field schedule."
Nehemiah at the Operations Desk plans crews around deadlines and tells clients when to expect the plat.
"Clients don't know what they need."
Tabitha at the Service Desk asks the right questions and explains each survey type in plain words.
"Builders pay slow."
Matthew at the Finance Desk invoices on delivery and follows up until paid.
Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for surveyors.
Each morning tells you crews out, deadlines this week and money owed.
Answers requests, explains survey types and updates clients on status.
Prepares quotes for your approval and keeps title companies and builders coming back.
Takes retainers, invoices on delivery and chases late payers.
Schedules field crews, tracks deadlines, recordings and license renewals.
Stays in touch with title companies, realtors and builders.
Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
Monday HQ has three new requests sorted by closing date and the research gathered. The crew is routed to two rural boundaries and a staking job. The title company got last week's survey with the invoice, and paid Friday.
An illustration, not a promised result.
Start
Most firms start on Small: up to 5 seats and 80 hours a month, $750 a month paid for the year (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only), plus $1,000 onboarding once.
Grow
As crews grow, move to Medium at $1,875 a month paid for the year.
Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.
Two prices, and 50 Founding places.
First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.
Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.
Founding 50: of 50 places left. When they are gone, this price closes.

Prices are per month. Only the first 50 companies (the Founding 50) get the Founding price with a two-year commitment, paid yearly by bank transfer, and keep it for as long as they renew. Pay yearly by bank transfer and take 3% off. Onboarding is $1,000 for Small and $2,000 for Medium, paid once, and free at Shouldered events. It is one 1-hour call: technical setup with our technical team first, then your business with our team. The person who sold you HQ joins your onboarding call. Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.
Enterprise and government. For large companies and public agencies. Custom plans start at $5,000 a month. Pilots are paid. We start SOC 2 Type 1 work in 2027. Texas agencies: we are working toward TX-RAMP.
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.
The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.
Will it do survey work?
No. Your licensed surveyors do the work and sign it. It handles the office.
Does it connect to my tools?
We connect it during onboarding. Your customer list, job history and numbers stay in your own system. We work inside it, we do not take it.
Can it track county recordings?
Yes. It tracks what was filed and what is still waiting.
How long does it take to get going?
You can try a 7 day trial environment set up for your trade. Onboarding is one 1-hour call. Setup takes up to 30 days, results can show in months 2 and 3, and it runs smoothly by month 6.
What if it does not help my business?
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
A Christian-run company, and proud of it.
