Who this is for
SMB owners & CEOs

You know AI matters but don't know where to start — or what's worth investing in first.

Mid-market companies

You have existing tools and workflows. You want to know what to automate and what to rebuild with AI.

Professional services firms

Law, accounting, consulting, recruiting — document-heavy work with a lot to gain from automation.

Technology companies

SaaS and software businesses that want AI embedded in their product or operations before competitors do.

Already in the cloud

You've moved your systems to the cloud. Now you want AI to get more out of that investment.

How it works

Three phases.
One clear roadmap.

No vague recommendations. Every finding ties to a specific process, a specific cost and a specific outcome.

01
Week 1
Business process & workflow audit

We map how your business runs and find every manual, repetitive or judgment-heavy task that eats up your team's time. Using our 50-question assessment, we document how information moves between your systems and where work gets stuck.

Weeks 1–2
Technical infrastructure & AI readiness scoring

We look at six areas, including the quality of your data, how well your systems connect, your security and how ready your team is. Each gets a score, so you see exactly where you stand and what's holding AI back.

03
Weeks 2–3
Strategic roadmap & ROI projections

We turn the findings into a step-by-step plan, ordered by impact and effort. Every recommendation comes with suggested tools, an estimated cost and when you can expect a return.

AI maturity model

Where do you stand today?

Most SMBs land at Level 2 or 3. The assessment tells you exactly — and maps the path forward.

Level 01
Manual

All processes are manual. No automation in use. Significant time lost to repetitive tasks.

Level 02
Basic automation

Simple tools like Zapier or basic scripts, each doing one job, with no AI connecting them.

Level 03
Some AI in use

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot are in use, but scattered, with no shared plan.

Most SMBs are here
Level 04
AI-integrated

Several AI systems working together, with data moving between tools automatically.

Level 05
AI-native

AI built into every part of the business. AI agents handle routine decisions, with full monitoring and oversight.

Already know the problem you want to fix?
Start with a pilot instead.

If you can name the problem and put a number on it — missed calls, a manual workflow eating 10 hours a week, documents no one can search — start with a fixed-price pilot. Pilots take 3 weeks.
