One ordered plan, instead of ten opinions.
A discovery session on how the work actually moves through your business, then two weeks while I write it up, then an hour together walking through it so you can ask questions rather than read a document alone. You end up holding a written roadmap of 15 to 25 pages about your business, not about AI in general.
A fixed fee, agreed in writing before we start. A roadmap, not a build.
Ten things to do with AI, and no order to do them in.
A webinar said one thing, a vendor deck said another, and somebody's cousin tried a tool that wrote a blog post. None of it was about your business, and none of it said what to do first.
- A tool bought, used twice. Somebody signs up for whatever was mentioned most, uses it for a fortnight, and it becomes a subscription nobody remembers to cancel.
- The wrong job first. What got automated was the job that was easiest to demonstrate, not the one quietly eating a day a week.
- Nothing was ever ruled out. The jobs that should stay with a person were never named, so they sit on the list forever and the list never gets shorter.
- Your data went somewhere nobody checked. A free tool got connected to a shared drive because it was free, and what leaves the building was never written down.
- Nobody priced doing it yourself. The choice is always put as buy this or carry on, and never as what it would cost you to do the same thing in house.
- Another quarter goes by. Most often the real outcome is that nothing happens at all, and the cost of that is invisible, which is exactly why it keeps happening.
Two weeks, and then an hour together.
A roadmap and not a build. Nothing on your systems is changed while I look, the roadmap is yours whether or not you hire me to do any of it, and I keep no copy of your material once it is with you. If you go on to book a build, this fee comes off the price of it.
A discovery session
How the work actually moves through your business, in your words, including the parts that only make sense because of something that happened in 2019.
Two weeks of writing
Written up away from you and on my own time, which is why this one does not need a standing hole in your week to deliver.
An hour walking through it
So you can ask questions and push back, rather than being handed a document and left to read it alone.
You leave with a written roadmap of 15 to 25 pages, and an hour of someone explaining it.
This is not the same thing as The Check. The Check asks whether what you are already running is safe, and it is the faster and cheaper answer if you have something live and you are quietly unsure about it. This asks what you should do at all. Both are on the packages page.
Ten sections, about your business.
Written in your own words where I can use them, and handed to you before anything is built on it so you can correct the parts I got wrong.
- What you do today. In your words, written back to you, so you can correct it before anything is built on top of it.
- The jobs worth handing over, ranked. Each one with what it would need and roughly what it takes.
- The jobs that are not worth handing over. And why. Naming those is most of the value in here.
- Where your data can actually go. Tool by tool, and what leaves your building.
- What has to ask you first. The outward actions that should never run unattended.
- What a quiet failure would look like. In each job, and the check that would catch it.
- Readiness, system by system. What you already have, what is missing, and what blocks the rest.
- The order to do it in. And what each step is worth once it is done.
- What it would cost both ways. To have me do it, and to do it yourself.
- What happens if you do nothing. The honest version, with no action taken.
Three steps.
- Step oneA free twenty minute call.
To work out whether an assessment is the right thing for you at all. Nothing is charged and nothing is installed.
- Step twoA discovery session.
How the work actually moves through your business, with the question agreed in writing beforehand.
- Step threeTwo weeks, then an hour together.
I write it, you read it, and then we go through it so you can ask about the parts that matter to you.
Start with the free call.
Twenty minutes, by video or phone. You describe the work, I ask enough to understand it properly, and we look at whether an agent fits it at all, including when it does not.
You leave with a short written plan: the first job worth handing over, what it needs, and roughly what it takes. That is yours whether or not we work together. Nothing is charged and nothing is installed on the call.
