From $499
AI Readiness Audit — scoped in two weeks.
The Readiness Audit is a $499 fixed-fee diagnostic, not a deck. It produces a sequenced roadmap, a ranked list of AI employee deployments sized by dollars or hours, and — if you green-light a build — the first custom-built AI employee in your stack within thirty days.

The audit, sequenced
Four stages. One reference line.
Each stage closes with a written deliverable you can hand to a board, a banker, or your next operator. No “final deck at month four.”
Readiness
Two weeks of interviews, toolchain scans, and data plumbing review. Stakeholder walkthroughs, system inventory, and a one-page readiness read by the partner on day fourteen.
Sequence
A ranked list of where AI lifts productivity, revenue, or risk first — sized by hours saved, dollars added, or exposure reduced. Ranked, not brainstormed; defensible to a board.
Deploy
A costed 90-day roadmap: dates, owners, and dollar estimates — written for custom-built AI employees by default, with off-the-shelf automation tools used only when the workload is genuinely a better fit for one. Built in your accounts, owned by you.
Operate
A handoff plan for the first production AI employee, with a monthly operating cadence for monitoring, prompt tuning, and capacity additions as the business grows.
Prioritized deployments
Six AI employee deployments, ranked by expected ROI.
These are the kinds of AI employees the audit ranks. Real clients have shipped the first two in week three; the next two by month two; the tail of the list shapes the rest of the 90-day roadmap.
Inbound lead triage AI employee
Ops · 12–18 hrs/wk saved
Custom-built in your stack: reads new inbound emails and form submissions, classifies them by intent and urgency, drafts a response, and routes the lead to the right owner — running in the same tool your team already checks, with your accounts as the source of truth.
Procurement and vendor renewal monitor
Finance · 6–10 hrs/wk saved
When the workload is mostly wiring between two SaaS tools, we use a no-code platform here instead of custom code: watches vendor accounts for renewal notices and rate changes, posts a digest to the CFO channel, and drafts dispute letters when a price crosses the floor set during the Audit.
Recruiting pipeline coordinator
People · 8–14 hrs/wk saved
Custom-built in your stack: schedules interviews across hiring managers, sends reminders, collects feedback, and updates the applicant tracker — running in the same tool your team already checks, with your accounts as the source of truth.
Client onboarding workflow
CX · 4–8 hrs/wk saved
When the workload is mostly wiring between two SaaS tools, we use a no-code platform here instead of custom code: on a signed contract, provisions the client in the project system, sends the welcome packet, and books the kickoff — replacing the handoff checklist that currently lives in someone’s head.
Quote and proposal builder
Sales · 3–6 hrs/wk saved
Custom-built in your stack: pulls the existing line items and the latest pricing from the data warehouse, assembles a first-draft proposal, and hands it back to the owner for one round of edits.
Weekly KPI digest
Founders · 1–2 hrs/wk saved
Custom-built in your stack: each Monday, pulls the metrics that matter, drafts a one-page digest, and emails it to the owner — running against your accounts, no dashboards to log into, no chart-staring.
Custom-first, portable
Custom-built AI employees, by default. Portable if you switch tools.
Custom-built means code you own, in your accounts. When a workload is genuinely a better fit for something off the shelf — and only then — we reach for one, always something you can walk away from without a rebuild.
Custom build
The default. Code you own, deployed in your infrastructure — no vendor to lock you in, no seat count to negotiate, and portable by construction.
Other tools · used when the workload is a better fit for one of them
n8n
We reach for this only when a workload is mostly wiring between two known shapes. Self-hostable, MIT-licensed; workflows export to JSON and run anywhere with a docker daemon.
Relevance AI
We reach for this only when a hosted crew is genuinely faster than shipping code for that workload. Per-tenant workspaces with full data export; crews and tools can rebuild on open LLM providers.
Lindy
We reach for this only when an inbox or scheduling agent fits a hosted board better than a custom build. Per-account boards with webhook + REST endpoints; logic is described in plain English and re-runnable elsewhere.
Make
We reach for this only when a workload is a straightforward hand-off between two SaaS tools. Scenario-graph exports to JSON and re-imports into n8n or Zapier — no vendor lock-in on the wiring.

Sample finding · anonymized
Inbound triage AI employee — ranked #1
Owner-led operator · 12–18 hrs/wk recovered · ~$45k/yr
Across owner-led operators in the $2M–$50M band, inbound lead triage consistently surfaces as the highest-ROI standalone AI employee. The workload recovers twelve-to-eighteen weekly hours for the ops lead, removes roughly forty-five thousand dollars a year in unreplied-funnel leakage, and ships in about nine custom-build days in your stack by week four. The same workload resists good off-the-shelf platforms because the routing rules, the intent taxonomy, and the handoff owners are deliberately firm-specific — the employee must run in the team’s inbox or channel, with the team’s accounts as the source of truth, or the savings estimate collapses.
