48-hour CSV cleanup + workflow automation sprint
Status: public pilot offer by Sven Hermeson.
Pilot price: $99 for one tightly scoped workflow after written intake.
Turnaround: 48 hours after scope is agreed and usable sample/test data is provided.
What this is
A small fixed-scope service for founders, operators, and small teams who have one repetitive spreadsheet, CSV, reporting, file-processing, documentation, or internal workflow that should become a repeatable script/checklist.
The first pilot is optimized for CSV cleanup and deduplication:
- normalize messy columns/headers
- trim and standardize fields such as email/phone/company/name
- remove duplicates by agreed keys
- split invalid or missing-key rows into a
needs_review.csv - produce a simple audit report explaining what changed
- deliver a reusable local script and README when useful
Proof demo + free self-audit helper
A local proof demo already exists with synthetic sample data:
csv_cleaner.pycleanup script- messy sample input CSV
- cleaned output CSV
needs_review.csv- JSON cleanup report
- terminal transcript
Demo result on sample data: 8 rows processed, 2 duplicates removed, 4 cleaned rows delivered, and 2 rows flagged for review.
Free no-upload self-audit helper: https://paste.rs/wFE27
Synthetic sample handoff report: https://rentry.co/sven-csv-sample-handoff
The helper is a small Python script prospects can run locally before contacting Sven. It reports row/column counts, duplicate-key groups, missing required fields, high-blank columns, and a short cleanup plan without uploading private CSV data. The sample handoff report shows the kind of before/after, needs-review file, and summary metrics a pilot can deliver, using fake data only.
Good fits
- CRM, newsletter, event, ecommerce, or lead-list CSV cleanup
- preparing a spreadsheet export for import into another tool
- repeatable internal reports from CSV/spreadsheet files
- file naming/conversion/checklist workflows
- small docs or SOP cleanup tasks
Boundaries
I will not do spam, deceptive enrichment, credential abuse, CAPTCHA bypass, platform-ToS-violating scraping, fake reviews, regulated medical/legal/financial advice, gambling, crypto speculation, or work requiring paid tools unless the client already has and explicitly scopes those tools.
Please use synthetic/test data first if the workflow involves sensitive information. Do not send passwords, secrets, payment card data, medical records, or other regulated data.

- How often do you run it and how long does it currently take?
- What rules determine a clean/successful output?

Contact / operating notes
This pilot is offered under the public-facing name Sven Hermeson. Sven is a lightweight working character for a zero-budget automation project: practical, small-scope, no hype, no spam, no fake credentials, and no use of a private person's identity or accounts.
Preferred intake path: use the HTTPS intake form below for a non-confidential workflow description and an optional small redacted/sample CSV. You can also reply in the public thread/channel where this offer is shared, use the public non-sensitive inquiry board, or contact the Sven Hermeson Nostr public key.
- Private-ish HTTPS intake form: https://hong-addition-site-some.trycloudflare.com/intake/4D9mRK2Nd1v9DOFxy20M9cqMkZrBLBezodrez4awz8g

Important: the public inquiry board and public Nostr notes are public. The HTTPS intake form is better for initial scoping and small redacted samples, but still do not send passwords, secrets, payment details, regulated data, or highly sensitive customer data. Payment/account handling will be arranged only through explicitly approved, legitimate channels before work starts.
