The AI Automation Sprint

You don't have an effort problem. You have a systems problem.

Two weeks. We map how your business actually runs, then show you exactly which work AI and automation can take off your team, what each fix is worth, and what to do first. A person does the digging, not a chatbot.

What It Is

What you're buying.

Over two weeks we learn how your business actually operates. We map your current processes, measure where time is spent, identify the bottlenecks, and quantify what each one costs you.

Then, for each bottleneck, we name what should take it over: an AI tool, an automation, better software, or a process change that costs nothing. Ranked by payoff, priced in hours and dollars. Owners ask for chatbots; the leak is usually in quoting.

A number on every hour a machine could give back.

The Process

How it works.

01

Discovery Call

Free · 30 minutes · Phone or video

See a real audit, maps and numbers included. Then we talk about where your hours go. Wrong fit, we say so. Right fit, the price is already on this page.

02

The Sprint

Two weeks · Remote

Short video interviews with the people doing the work, screen shares of the systems they use, and a look at your real job records. We chart the core processes, time the manual steps, and price every bottleneck. Runs anywhere in the country.

03

The Roadmap

Walked through together

What to automate, in what order, for what payoff. Run it yourself, or have us build it: a separate scoped project, quoted after the roadmap, never assumed.

What you get

  • Process maps with step-level time data
  • Bottlenecks quantified in hours and dollars
  • A prioritized roadmap with estimated ROI on each fix
  • Clear recommendations: AI, software, process change, or automation
  • The cost model, assumptions shown, yours to keep

Who It's For

Fit check.

Owner-run businesses, roughly $2M to $5M, where admin and coordination are eating hours your team should spend on customers.

A good fit if

  • Real hours lost to quoting, scheduling, data entry, or chasing status
  • You know AI could help but can't point to where
  • You want your time back, not another subscription
  • You want a straight answer on what's hype and what pays

Not a fit if

  • You want a tool demo, not a diagnosis
  • You need marketing or a sales funnel
  • You want someone to run operations permanently
  • You already know what to build; go build it
Not "should we use AI." Which tasks, in what order, for how much.

Proof

Why this works.

Proven on a real product company first: overseas suppliers, two channels, 52 to 65 day lead times. The map showed a 3.5x seasonal spike getting caught late, restocks landing two months after demand, and inventory drifting with every skipped step. Machine work, done by hand.

So the roadmap got built. Live inventory that keeps itself accurate. Forecasting that turns 40 POs of history into order-by dates. Automatic oversell protection. Reorder logic that picks sea, air, or local by days remaining. Ordering and fulfillment fell from 332–570 minutes to 66–90. The old process map is now labeled "former."

Different industry, different answer: in countertop fabrication, the gold-standard software was adding time, not saving it. Nothing was worth recommending, so a complete ERP got built instead. Sometimes the roadmap names the right tool. Sometimes it proves the tool doesn't exist yet.

The method is aerospace-grade process engineering at Main Street scale, and AI is why a custom build now costs weeks instead of a dev-firm year. No referral fees, no vendor commissions, ever. The roadmap is yours to run with anyone. If you want us to build it, that is a separate scoped project or retainer, quoted after the sprint, and the sprint fee never depends on it.

We're taking on five founding clients at $2,000 in exchange for feedback and permission to use the engagement as a case study. After that, the sprint is $4,500. Fixed price, full two weeks, everything included.
