01 — Ground Truth
The truth about where AI helps — and where it doesn’t.
A technical diagnostic that traces every recommendation back to something you said, showed, or sent. No hand-waving, no vendor pitch. If the honest answer is “don’t hire us,” that’s what the report says.
What it is
A structured diagnostic of where AI fits in your operation — and where it doesn’t. We map your real workflows, score the leverage points, and hand you an evidence-backed report you could act on with or without us.
Who it's for
Any organization evaluating AI — from a solo founder testing the waters to a leadership team that needs alignment before they spend. If you’ve been pitched “AI transformation” and want the truth instead, this is the entry point.
What you get
Evidence, not opinions.
A clear-eyed read on where AI helps, where it doesn’t, and where you’re already further along than you think.
The handful of places AI actually pays back — prioritized, with time and revenue estimates.
A sequenced plan you can act on with or without us — what to do first, next, and later.
Investment
Senior expertise at mid-market prices.
A focused two-to-three-week engagement — no retainer, no lock-in.
How it works
Four steps, no surprises.
You share how the work actually happens — tools, handoffs, where the hours go. A short call is a fine place to start.
Live sessions where we pressure-test the leverage points together and trace every finding back to evidence.
An evidence-backed document — every claim traced, every recommendation prioritized.
Take it and run, or move into AI Compass or a Workshop build. No pressure, no lock-in.
