A map of one workflow
The steps, tools, sample inputs, and recurring problems behind the task you choose.
AI strategy & audits
AI consulting. Know what to build first.
Get a practical recommendation for one business workflow: what to change, whether AI fits, and what a first project would require.

30 minutes with the co-founders. Check fit, tools and the next scoping step.
Is this the right
first project?
Before choosing an AI tool, check whether the problem is a handoff, missing source data, or a rule that could be automated without AI. Strategy should tell you what to do next, what to leave alone, and why.
A good fit when…
You know which workflow causes repeated work but are unsure what to change.
You need to compare AI with automation, existing software, or a process fix.
A proposed build needs a clearer scope, owner, and acceptance criteria.
Your first project, priced.
One-workflow AI assessment
From $1,500 USD
One-time project. Final scope and price agreed in writing.
Decide whether one business workflow is worth improving, what to change, and what a first project would involve.
Book a free scoping call ↗30 minutes with the co-founders to check fit, tools and the next scoping step. No obligation to proceed.
Included in the starter scope
- A working session with the owner of one business workflow.
- Review of the current steps, tools, sample inputs, and recurring problems.
- Comparison of AI, standard automation, and process changes for that workflow.
- A written recommendation with a first project scope, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
- Quoted separately
- Implementation, a company-wide AI roadmap, and reviews of additional workflows are separate scopes.
- A larger project
- Quoted after scoping — Assess several departments or workflows and build a prioritized implementation plan. This is an alternative scope, not an add-on to the starter price.
- Optional ongoing support
- Optional follow-up advice is scoped separately; no recurring plan is required.
- Timing
- We agree the schedule after checking the available examples and the workflow owner's availability.
All prices are in USD. Third-party software, API usage, hosting and any telephony charges are separate. Support is optional; its coverage and limits are agreed separately. New workflows need a new scope.

Then consider what comes next.
- 01 / The starting point
Customer support is spending time looking for policy answers.
- 02 / The right context
Map the questions, approved sources, and points where judgment matters.
- 03 / Prepared for review
Compare a source-linked assistant with better search and a simpler process.
- 04 / A person decides
Choose a bounded pilot only if it has an owner and a testable benefit.

An audit does not include an unbounded implementation, a guaranteed return, or a recommendation to replace your team. Access and interviews are agreed first; sensitive records are not needed for an initial outline.
Security and data questions ↗A few useful answers
Before we begin.
How much does a first project cost?
One-workflow AI assessment starts at $1,500 USD for the starter scope shown on this page. We confirm access, scope, exclusions, timing and a written price before work begins. Third-party software and usage charges are separate; ongoing support is optional.
What happens on the free scoping call?
In 30 minutes, we discuss one task, your current tools and the result you need. We check whether the starter fits and what is needed for a written proposal. If paid discovery is needed, we explain its scope and price first. You do not need a prepared brief or a paid assessment to book the call.
How will we judge whether the project is useful?
We agree a baseline and acceptance checks with the person who owns the work. You can decide what to build, what it depends on, and how to judge the result. Where relevant, we also compare manual effort, correction work and operating costs. These checks guide the handoff; they are not a promise of revenue or savings.
What does an AI strategy engagement deliver?
A scoped engagement can deliver a workflow map, a prioritized shortlist of opportunities, and a first-project brief. The brief records the users, sources, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and unresolved decisions. Implementation is a separate scope; the recommendation may be to improve the process before introducing AI.
Can we start with one workflow?
Yes. Choose a recurring task and identify the person who owns it. A normal example, a difficult example, and a description of the current handoffs help make the assessment concrete. You do not need to choose a model or write a technical specification first.
What determines the cost of an AI audit?
The main factors are the number of workflows, stakeholder interviews, systems to assess, and depth of data review. A focused decision brief needs different work from an organization-wide roadmap. Agree the questions, deliverables, and access requirements before pricing the engagement.
What affects the audit timeline?
Timing depends on access to the workflow owner, representative examples, and the people who can explain the systems. Unclear source ownership or unresolved business rules can add a discovery step. The proposed scope should identify these dependencies before a delivery date is agreed.
Do you need access to sensitive company data?
An initial discussion can use a process outline and redacted examples. Any deeper review should specify the records required, who can access them, and how they will be handled. Credentials and sensitive records should wait until an appropriate sharing method has been agreed.
What happens after the recommendations are delivered?
Review the options with the people who will own the work. The next decision may be a scoped pilot, preparation of missing data, use of an existing tool, or no build. Any implementation, ongoing advisory work, and maintenance need their own agreed responsibilities and terms.
