About Build Bench

Build Bench is a one-person lab. The thesis: small, focused tools for specific Canadian audiences beat sprawling generalist SaaS. Pricing is honest — no $39/mo for a feature that costs $0.20/use, no rolled-up enterprise tiers.

Every tool is AI-assisted (Claude). Each one is also human-reviewed before going to a customer. Where a tool is concierge-model (humanizer, game localization), turnaround is "within 24h" not real-time — that's a deliberate quality-vs-speed tradeoff.

Where a tool publishes content (compare.buildbench.ca), AI-assistance is disclosed in every footer. Where a tool emails customers (OMSD digest), CASL compliance is the floor (identifiable sender, business address, working unsubscribe).
