A workflow map
A clear diagram of how work moves through your business now, with the bottlenecks marked.
01 Service / Diagnostic
The AI Opportunity Diagnostic
A five-day audit that finds where AI pays off in your business, and, just as often, where it doesn't. You leave with a ranked, costed roadmap, whether or not you build with us.
02 What it is
An audit, not a sales pitch.
The diagnostic is a fixed, five-day engagement. We sit with your team, map how work actually moves through your business, and measure where time and money leak. Then we test each candidate against a simple question: would AI here return more than it costs to build and maintain?
You get a ranked list of use cases with rough ROI, a phased plan for the ones worth doing, and an honest note on the ones that aren't. The output is yours to keep. If the right answer is "wait," we will say so, and you will have paid for a clear decision instead of a tool you would not have used.
03 Who it's for
You'll recognize yourself here.
The diagnostic earns its fee fastest for teams in one of these spots.
- You're paying for AI tools nobody on the team actually uses.
- Your team loses hours every week to repetitive, copy-paste work.
- You want a plan and a number before you commit real budget.
- Leadership disagrees on where AI should go first, and needs a tiebreaker.
04 How it works
Five passes, in order.
Each step narrows the field. By the end, only the use cases that clear the bar are left standing.
- 01
Map the workflow
Document how work moves today, step by step, tool by tool.
- 02
Quantify the time leak
Put hours and cost against the repetitive, low-judgment work.
- 03
Rank use cases by ROI
Score each candidate on payoff versus effort to build.
- 04
Pressure-test feasibility
Check the data, the tools, and the team against what a build would need.
- 05
Decide build, buy, or wait
For each use case, recommend the cheapest path to the outcome.
05 What you get
Four things, all yours to keep.
A ranked use-case list
Every AI opportunity we found, ordered by rough ROI, with the reasoning behind each score.
A 30 to 90 day plan
A phased implementation plan for the use cases worth doing, with sequencing and dependencies.
A recommendation
A plain call on what to do next, which may be "not yet." Either way, you own the decision.
06 Timeline & investment
What it costs, and how long.
The diagnostic is a fixed fee. Any build that follows is scoped and priced separately, only after you have seen the roadmap.
| Phase | Timeline | Pricing | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic | 1 week | Fixed fee | The five-day audit and all four deliverables above. |
| Build | 30–90 days | Scoped separately | Optional. Priced per use case once the roadmap is agreed. |
Figures are illustrative. Actual pricing is quoted after a short scoping call.
07 Questions
About this service.
What does the diagnostic cost?
It's a fixed fee for the full five-day engagement, agreed before we start. There are no hourly surprises. We share the exact number on a short scoping call once we understand your size and setup.
What if you find we don't need AI?
Then we tell you, and we tell you why. Ruling things out is part of the work. A clear "not yet," with the reasoning behind it, is a real result that saves you from spending on tools you would not have used.
Do we have to build with you afterward?
No. The roadmap is yours to keep and to take to any team you like. We're happy to build the recommended use cases, but the diagnostic stands on its own and is priced that way.
