working services · TD on call

The TD on the call sheet. AI TD on the comm.

Working-TD services for productions that need a real TD on the gig — delivered solo or augmented by AI TD across the three knowledge pillars: live event operations, sustainable production, and the business of running shows.

Looking for the SaaS subscription tiers (Dispatch / AI TD / BidSmith / xHand)? See /pricing.

tier i

Consult

$250
per session

A TD on the line when you need one.

One-hour working session. Bring an advance, a bid, a CBA question, or a Schedule C draft — leave with the call I'd make if it were my show.

What you get

  • 60-minute working session (video or phone)
  • Pre-session intake — share the docs / questions
  • Post-session notes summarizing decisions + next moves

AI TD augments

AI TD pulls relevant precedents from the corpus before the call — venues, rates, vendor history. You get the working TD on the phone with the receipts already lined up.

tier ii

Remote Programming

$750 – $1,500
per project

Programming delivered without the per diem.

Lighting console programming, video playback files, show files built and tested remotely. The work that used to require a TD on site, delivered against your gear list and venue specs.

What you get

  • Show file or console programming — your platform, your rig
  • Test pass against documented gear list + venue specs
  • Cue sheet + operator notes ready for the show-day op
  • Two rounds of revisions included

AI TD augments

AI TD reads your advance, your rider, and the venue corpus to surface conflicts before they hit show day — power loads, cue conflicts, rig limits.

Full Production Support

$2,500+
per show

TD on the call sheet. AI TD on the comm.

What you get

  • Advance walkthrough + vendor coordination
  • On-site (or hybrid) production support
  • Show-day TD coverage, settlement, post-mortem
  • Every decision logged for the corpus next time

AI TD augments

AI TD runs as the second brain throughout — citation on demand, decision log, recipe correlation against past shows at the same venue. The show ends with a documented record of what worked.
