The Audit — AI Consulting
Find out where your business bleeds money.
A paid diagnosis for owner-run businesses — med spas, law firms, manufacturers, practices. We map how the work actually happens, find where time and revenue leak, and hand you a roadmap where every fix is priced in dollars per year.
From $2,500 — scoped by complexity and task count. Two to three weeks.

Most AI failures are problem-selection failures.
Buying tools before diagnosing is how businesses end up with abandoned software and no ROI to point to. The audit de-risks both sides: you get a valuable deliverable either way, and whatever gets built next is what the business actually needs.
Executives don't buy AI — they buy outcomes. A team wasting 2 hours a day across 8 people at $40/hour loaded cost is bleeding $166,400 a year. Numbers like that make the next decision obvious.
The method
Six steps. None of them involve picking a tool.
01
Define outcomes
“We want AI” is a wish, not an outcome. We pin down current state, target state, and a measurable delta — every outcome ends with “worth $X per year.”
02
Map the business
Executives know the destination; operators know the road. We interview the people doing the work — “walk me through yesterday morning” — not just the owner.
03
Map the tasks
“Follow up with leads” sounds like one task. It's usually seven. AI opportunities live in the details, so we break work down until it can't be broken further.
04
Find the AI fits
Four questions per task: structured input? predictable output? rule-based decisions? repeated often? Yes to all four — prime candidate. AI takes the predictable 80%, humans keep the judgment.
05
Prioritize
Business value vs. implementation difficulty. Quick wins first — the one that pays for the engagement — then the big swings once the wins prove the model.
06
Price the ROI
Time wasted × people × days per year × loaded hourly cost = annual waste. That number is what makes the decision easy — for you, not for us.
Who it's for
Built for owners who built something real.
Every industry bleeds differently. These are the patterns we see most — if yours isn't listed, the method still applies.
Med Spas
- ✦Inquiries answered hours later — booked elsewhere
- ✦No-shows without automated confirmation flows
- ✦Front desk buried in rescheduling and intake forms
Law Firms
- ✦Consult requests that wait a day get a different lawyer
- ✦Intake and conflict checks eating billable hours
- ✦Document prep and status updates done by hand
Manufacturers
- ✦Quote turnaround measured in days, not minutes
- ✦Order status calls interrupting the floor
- ✦Reporting stitched together in spreadsheets monthly
Dental & Medical
- ✦Unfilled chair time from slow recall follow-up
- ✦After-hours calls going to voicemail — then to a competitor
- ✦Insurance verification done one phone call at a time
