I'm not clear on what Alex in particular has to do with this. Aren't there people with lower opportunity cost you could go "hey, investigate self-publishing options" to? They are marketed to publishing-non-experts and while they don't require zero skill, perhaps it doesn't call for your scarcest and thinnest-spread people. Are you sure you don't want to ask me any questions about my experience self-publishing with Createspace...?
Alex is just the one who would work with the files and CreateSpace, not necessarily the one who has to do the research about which company to publish through.
Another thing Alex is doing, btw, is finding a scalable way to outsource "general internet research" projects, without needing to find new contractor hours, validate them, sign a contract, etc. There was some service that looked awesome that I encountered 6 months ago when we had less money to spend on such things but now I can't find it.
EDIT: Oh, and yes, I'd be happy to hear of your own experiences with (and judgements about) CreateSpace.
I have been happy with Createspace. It produces cheap-for-trade-quality sleek paperbacks, faithfully renders my cover art, is relatively easy to interact with in all the ways I haven't chosen to delegate (and easy enough in those other ways that the delegate-ee is willing to work for one signed copy each of the books in question and a frontmatter acknowledgment and nothing else), and doesn't cost any money up until I actually tell them to send me a book. I will happily show you three different volumes I have had Createspaced if you would like to see a physical copy and arrange to be near mine.
Maybe https://www.fancyhands.com/ ?
I think it was a different one, but that's the best match I've found so far, so maybe it is indeed FancyHands.
