AI Department Onboarding: From Kickoff to First Results

Listen (about 2 minutes) or read below.

Welcome to your AI Department. Here's exactly what happens next.

Step 1: Your FREE discovery call. We start with a 30-minute call to learn your goals and where time and money are leaking. After the call, you name one point person on your team who can answer questions and approve changes. You don't need any technical staff. Our team handles the technology.

Step 2: Your AI Opportunity Assessment. We interview people across your roles and departments and map every workflow, handoff and bottleneck. We show you the hours and dollars each one costs. We schedule the interviews and data access within 14 days of kickoff, so quick replies from your team keep things moving. For data access, you invite us as a user on your systems. That's safer than sharing passwords, and you can remove our access anytime. Please never send passwords or bank details by email or text.

Step 3: Your executive readout. You get ranked AI opportunities, plus what NOT to build, a maturity score, and a 90-day AI roadmap with costs and a timeline. Our 10-Hour Promise: we'll find at least 10 hours a week of company-wide savings, or we refund the full fee on a paid assessment. The FREE assessments for our first 10 clients carry no refund, because there is no fee. You keep the roadmap either way. If you go ahead, the full fee is credited to your first month.

Step 4: Build and launch. Our team builds, tests and launches each system, then trains your people to use AI safely. Your first automations go live within 30 days of your assessment readout.

Step 5: Prove and compound. A live ROI dashboard tracks results against your own numbers every month. If your systems haven't returned more than your first 12 months of fees within 12 months, our team keeps working FREE until they do.

There's no long-term contract. It's month to month after the first 90 days, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.

Questions

Do we need any technical staff?

No. Our team handles the technology. You need one point person who can answer questions and approve changes.

What is the FREE one-minute online assessment?

Twelve quick questions that take about a minute. You see an instant estimate of the hours AI could save your team each week and an AI readiness score, with no sign-up needed. Add your name and email to get your FREE AI Opportunity Report, a printable summary with your top 3 AI opportunities. Our team then replies within one business day to book your FREE 30-minute discovery call.

What do we get from the full AI Opportunity Assessment, and what happens next?

It starts after your FREE 30-minute discovery call. We interview people across your roles and departments, map every workflow, handoff and bottleneck, and show the hours and dollars each one costs you. You get ranked AI opportunities (plus what NOT to build), a maturity score and a 90-day AI roadmap with costs and timeline, presented in an executive readout.

We schedule the interviews and data access within 14 days of kickoff. After the readout, you keep the roadmap either way. If you go ahead, the full fee is credited to your first month.

Is the AI Assessment worth it if we already use some AI?

Yes. Most businesses we assess are paying for tools they barely use and missing the bottlenecks that cost the most. The assessment shows exactly where AI pays off, and its full price is credited to your first month. It is $1,997, FREE for our first 10 clients, and backed by our 10-Hour Promise: at least 10 hours a week of company-wide savings identified, or a full refund on paid assessments.

How does the 10-Hour Promise work?

Our AI Opportunity Assessment will identify at least 10 hours a week of savings across your company, combined across your team and not per employee. Paid assessments ($1,997) get a full refund if we don’t. The FREE assessments for our first 10 clients carry no refund, because there is no fee.

Savings means recurring hours of manual work that our recommended automations can remove. We document each one in your roadmap, with the method we used, based on your interviews and data.

The promise applies when interviews and the requested data access are scheduled within 14 days of kickoff. It is designed for businesses with about 10 or more employees or $1M or more in revenue. Refunds are paid within 30 days of the readout.

The promise covers finding the savings. Results after we build depend on how your team uses the new systems, and are covered by our 12-month ROI guarantee.

What counts as one automation?

One workflow with a clear trigger and result, for example “every new web lead gets a text, an email and a task for sales within 60 seconds.” Bigger projects are split into steps and scheduled on your roadmap.

Is our data safe?

We use business-grade tools, limit access to what each automation needs, and never use your data to train public AI models. Our team is HIPAA-trained.

How does the ROI guarantee work?

Before we build, we agree with you on how each system is measured: hours saved that stop spending or avoid a hire, or new revenue counted as gross profit. The ROI dashboard tracks it against your own numbers every month. If the total hasn’t passed your first 12 months of fees within 12 months, our team keeps working FREE until it does.

What is RAG?

RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) connects AI to your own documents. Instead of guessing, the AI looks up the answer in your files and shows the source, so your team gets accurate answers about your policies, pricing, procedures and past work. It is included in Scale and Embedded, and can be added to Launch.

We have under $1M in revenue. Is this for us?

Our small business AI growth plans from $297/month are built for you, with the same team behind them.

Can we change plans?

Yes. Move up or down at the start of any month as your needs change.
