Engagements
AI Opportunity Audit · from $1,500
A five-business-day review after kickoff and access to the agreed workflow information. We map the work, estimate value and effort, and rank what to build, buy, or leave alone. You receive a concise implementation plan and a walkthrough. No ongoing engagement required.
AI Build Sprint · scoped price
One defined system, with a typical target of two to four weeks after scope and access are agreed. Includes integration, evaluation, deployment, documentation, and team handoff. Timing and price depend on the workflow and its dependencies.
Fractional AI Engineer · from $6,000/month
Ongoing engineering capacity for a prioritized roadmap. Agents, automations, product features, evaluation, cost control, and team training. We agree capacity, ownership, and review cadence in the written scope.

How the audit works
1. Map the workflow
A short kickoff and examples of how the work happens today: tools, handoffs, exceptions, and the people making decisions.
2. Compare opportunities
Estimate task volume, time, cost, feasibility, and the review burden. Include implementation and operating costs.
3. Choose the first system
A ranked plan with assumptions, expected effort, and a measurable outcome. Sometimes a simpler process or existing software is the better answer.
4. Walk through the plan
Review the recommendation together and agree what would justify moving forward.

Where it can help
Agencies & consultancies
Proposal drafts, delivery workflows, client reporting, and internal knowledge search.
Construction & trades
Quote preparation, document organization, scheduling support, and invoice follow-up.
E-commerce & software
Support triage, catalog content, onboarding, and AI features within existing products.
Healthcare administration
Administrative intake and scheduling workflows, with data access and human review agreed before implementation.

Choose the right support
A focused sprint fits one defined system. Fractional support fits a continuing roadmap that needs engineering ownership. A full-time hire makes sense when the workload and management needs warrant dedicated capacity.
