AI Diagnostic for founder-led businesses: know exactly where AI is leaking money, before you build another thing
Missed calls and slow follow-up quietly bleed revenue, and half the AI already deployed isn't production-grade. In three weeks we map where the dollars are leaking, audit what you're already running, and hand you a decision-ready memo and a 90-day roadmap. Diagnosis, fully decoupled from any build.
Pricing: fixed price, fixed three weeks
- Single Company: $25,000. One operating company, one brand, one contact-center footprint. Includes opportunity map, reliability audit, decision-ready memo, 90-day roadmap, live readout.
- Platform Portfolio: $40,000 to $50,000. Multi-brand platform with a sponsor at the table. Everything in Single, plus cross-brand standardization view, sponsor-facing readout, and per-brand leak quantification.
Four deliverables on your desk in three weeks
- AI Opportunity Map: every AI use case across the business, scored by value, feasibility, and risk, with the dollar impact attached.
- Production Reliability Audit: a hard look at any AI you already run, where it can silently fail, what's unmonitored, what's costing you booked jobs.
- Decision-ready memo: written for the owner. If a sponsor or board is in the room, the platform package frames it for them too.
- 90-Day Roadmap: sequenced by ROI, vendor-neutral, with build-or-buy called on each move.
How the three weeks run
- Week 1, Discovery and data: stakeholder interviews, call-flow and speed-to-lead data, and a full inventory of the AI you're already running.
- Week 2, Analysis and scoring: we quantify the leak, score every opportunity, audit the reliability of anything live, and put a dollar number on it.
- Week 3, Readout: memo and roadmap delivered, plus a live readout with you.
Who it's for
Best fit: you run a real-world business on phones, field crews, patients, or a back office; you already bought AI (or you're about to) and it isn't doing the job yet; you want a diagnosis before another build, pilot, or vendor bake-off; you have budget authority for a three-week engagement. Not a fit: you just want someone to build a bot with no diagnosis, or you're looking for a free assessment that turns into a pitch (use the free session instead).
Production proof
A HIPAA-cleared voice AI deployment is live today inside a major U.S. health system (anonymized under NDA), answering internal IT help desk calls and auto-creating Jira Service Management tickets. May to August 2026: 13,950 calls answered on the first ring, 1,152 Jira tickets auto-created before a human picked up, 54-second average AI triage, and 2,524 hours routed to a human with the caller, problem, and ticket already attached. 82% escalation by design: triage, not deflection.

This is not a free assessment with a sales pitch attached. You own the memo and the roadmap whether or not you ever build a thing with us.
Frequently asked questions
- Who is the diagnostic for?
- Founder-led and operator-run businesses: health systems, home services, construction, real estate, nonprofits, and PE-backed platforms. If your business runs on phones, field crews, or a back office, and you can fund a three-week diagnosis, that's the fit.
- What does it cost and how long?
- $25K for a single operating company, $40–50K for a multi-brand platform. Three weeks, fixed.
- What do I actually walk away with?
- An AI opportunity map, a production reliability audit, a decision-ready memo, a 90-day roadmap, and a live readout. You own the plan whether or not you build with us.
- Is this tied to hiring you for the build?
- No. Diagnosis is decoupled from implementation on purpose. You own the plan either way.
- Do you work with the AI vendors we already use?
- Yes, we're vendor-neutral. The roadmap calls build-or-buy honestly on each move.
- Can you handle our data securely?
- Yes. Our production work runs HIPAA-cleared inside a major U.S. health system, security-reviewed via Censinet RiskOps. A BAA is available where relevant.
- What happens after three weeks?
- Most companies take one to three next moves, an AI Reliability retainer on what's live, or a Fractional AI CTO engagement. Optional, never required.
