Claude consulting · remote across the US · Minneapolis-based

A Claude consultant who builds your workflows with you

We build on Claude. Not because it's fashionable but because, for an owner-led business, it's the model that follows instructions, writes like a person, and can be handed a folder of context and trusted with it. 1771 helps businesses across the US put Claude to work in live sessions: skills, Projects, Cowork, context files, and the connections to the tools you already run.

What we've built with clients

Three things we've built with clients on Claude. Each is a set of skills and context files that lives in your account, not ours.

• A weekly SEO digest with next steps — Every Monday, a plain-language note on what moved in search for your site and the three things to do about it. Pulled from Search Console and your analytics: which pages gained, which slipped, which new questions people are typing, and a short list of actions ranked by payoff. No dashboard to log into. It reads like a note from a colleague who checked so you didn't have to.
• After-hours follow-up for texts, calls, and emails — A message that lands at 9 p.m. gets a useful reply in your voice within minutes, and you find it logged and queued in the morning. Missed calls get a text back. Emails and texts get an answer that covers the common questions, sets expectations, and offers a booking link. Everything is logged with context, so your first job in the morning is a two-minute review, not a pile of cold replies.
• From sales call to finished proposal — Record the prospecting call. By the time you're back at your desk, a proposal PDF in your template is waiting for your edits. The transcript becomes scope, options, pricing, and terms drafted from what was actually said, in your voice, laid out in your branded template. You correct a few lines and send it the same afternoon instead of next week.

What we set up in Claude

The difference between a chatbot that gives generic answers and one that does your work is context and structure. We build both.

• Context files: your voice, your pricing, your terms, your product, written once so every draft sounds like you
• Claude skills: repeatable instructions for the jobs you do weekly, from proposal drafting to report writing, that anyone on your team can run
• Projects and Cowork: shared workspaces where your team and Claude work on the same documents with the same rules
• Connections: Claude reading from and writing to your inbox, calendar, CRM, forms, and files, with a person reviewing before anything goes out
• Light automation with Claude Code where a scheduled job is the right answer, kept small enough that you can read it

Why Claude, and when we'd use something else

For writing in a specific voice, following long instructions, and handling a hundred pages of context without losing the thread, Claude is what we reach for. We've watched teams get better results in an afternoon than they got from months of pasting into a generic chatbot.

We're not exclusive. If your business runs on Microsoft 365 and Copilot is already licensed, we'll use it where it fits. If a workflow needs a specialized tool, we'll say so. Our partner Dan Roseman helped build AI agents for compliance work, and both of us care more about the outcome than the logo.

Questions people ask

Are you affiliated with Anthropic?

No. We're an independent consultancy that builds on Claude because it's the best fit for the work our clients need. We pay for it the same way you do.

Which Claude plan do I need?

Most owner-led businesses start with Claude Pro or a small Team plan. We'll tell you exactly which on the first call and why. It's usually the only new subscription.

Can you work with a team that's already using ChatGPT?

Yes. Often we'll keep both. The context files and skills we write are the valuable part, and they transfer.

Do you handle sensitive data?

We design around it. Dan spent twelve years building compliance programs in financial services. We set up what Claude can and can't see, keep a person in the loop for anything regulated, and document it so you can explain it to your auditor or your board.

What does it cost?

$1,999 a month, billed monthly, anywhere in the US. The first 30-minute call is free.
