What you get for $995

You get at least three specific ways AI or automation could help, with my recommendation for what to try first.

We look at how the work happens now, where it gets stuck, and what it costs in time or money. I use those details to write your Action Plan.

EXAMPLE USES

Check information across your business tools.

Contracts, time records, and invoices often live in different tools.

AI can compare those records and flag missing or conflicting details for someone to review.

Illustrative example

Check for unbilled work

Contracts say what was sold. Client requests show what was asked for. Time records and completed work show what happened. Invoices show what was billed.

A connected system could compare those records and flag work that appears to have been delivered without making it onto an invoice.

Client request enters.
Signed scope enters.
Completed work and time records connect.
Invoice enters.
A mismatch appears.
Potential unbilled work is flagged.
The supporting records are pulled together for review.

This is an illustrative concept. It is not a client result.

Find delays and repeated work

Find delays, repeated steps, and missing information as work moves between people and tools.

Team workload check

Compare planned work with deadlines and staff availability. Flag work the team may not have time to finish.

Contract date tracker

Track contract dates and commitments. Show the relevant document when someone needs to review a renewal or other deadline.

AFTER THE ASSESSMENT

Help with setup, training, and ongoing questions.

I can price and scope the next piece of work from your Assessment findings. If you already know what kind of help you need, we can figure it out during a 20-minute consultation.

Start hereAI Opportunity AssessmentDecide where AI or automation could help.

SETUP

AI Implementation

I build the AI or automation system we define together.

Pricing is custom because the work depends on what has to connect, what has to be built, and how much testing and setup it takes.

TRAINING

AI Team Training

Training starts with what your team actually needs to do with AI at work.

Pricing depends on the team, what they need to learn, and the training format.

ONGOING HELP

AI Advisory

I stay involved as you make AI decisions, review new opportunities, and decide what to tackle next.

Advisory is priced monthly, based on the amount of support you need.

Scope and pricing can come from your Assessment findings or a 20-minute consultation.
