The 5-Day Build
We connect the systems involved, put AI to work on one job your team does every day, and wire in your approval. By the end of the week it runs on your own data, you have seen it work, and you decide what comes next.
The week
We connect, read-only, to the systems the job touches: your ERP, spreadsheets, inbox, bank or market feeds. We model the records that matter and how they link.
AI does the job on that model: it answers, checks, drafts or flags, using only the data and permissions you allow.
You choose what needs a person. Those steps wait for your approval; the routine goes ahead on its own.
Every read, draft and decision is on record. We walk your team through it, measure it against how the job is done today, and hand over the plan for what comes next.
What you get
Your team signs in to its own MESA workspace, a private web app on any laptop or phone, and the job is already running on your data.
A private web app your team signs in to, from any laptop or phone; nothing to install. Today shows what needs you, Ask answers questions from your records and shows which ones, Approvals holds the drafts waiting for a yes, and Record keeps every step.
Read-only links to the ERP, spreadsheets, inbox and bank or market files the job needs, refreshed on a schedule. Nothing in them changes without approval.
The use case we built together, running each morning or the moment something changes, with a short summary in your inbox.
The steps that matter wait in the workspace and in the morning email: open, read, approve. The routine goes ahead on its own.
In your own cloud account, or in an encrypted workspace we run for you. Your data stays yours, and leaves with you.
Admin access, a walkthrough with your team, a short guide, and the measured before and after. A native iPhone app can come later, if you want one.
First use cases
The best first use case is narrow, frequent and checked by hand today. A few we build:
Price
Every job is different, so each is priced after a short call: what the job is, and which systems it touches. The price is fixed in writing before any work starts, and it does not move. A job that takes someone two hours a day is about 500 hours a year.
How pricing works
Fixed, and quoted before we start.
Tell us the job and the systems it touches. After a 20-minute call you get a fixed price in writing, usually within a day. Set it against the hours the job takes today.
Your data
We read from your systems. Nothing in them changes unless you approve it.
Your data stays in your systems, or in an encrypted workspace that we delete at the end if you do not go on.
We use AI providers' business services, which do not train their models on what you send.
What we build on your data is yours. MESA's own building blocks stay ours, licensed to you while you use them.
After the week
A monthly fee covers monitoring, fixes and small changes as your business moves.
More use cases on the same map, priced up front, with a working build every week. The five days are credited in full.
The measured before and after, the write-up and the plan stay with you.
Who builds it
Essa Paracha, founder
I spent two years in private-markets operations at Goldman Sachs, sending capital call and distribution notices to more than 10,000 investors and checking them before they went out. I studied econometrics at Purdue.
Since then I have built AI systems for trading and finance: an assistant for a commodity trading desk that answers from live data and drafts the contracts and emails for approval, and a news pipeline that reads 80 sources a day and turns them into scored market views.
I build with AI coding tools. That is how five days is enough: the time goes on your workflow, not on boilerplate.
Start
One line is enough: what the job is, who does it today, and which systems it touches. We reply within one working day to set up a 20-minute call.
Or write to hello@arakyss.com
Send me a message on Upwork with the job, and I will reply with a plan and a fixed price.
