AI Opportunity Assessment

Most small business owners know AI is relevant to their business. Few know where it actually makes sense to start. We help you cut through the noise — quantify where your team is losing time, and build a clear, prioritized plan for what to do about it.

Engagement Overview

What’s included in the assessment

This isn’t a generic AI overview or a vendor pitch disguised as analysis. It’s a structured discovery process — grounded in research on how knowledge workers actually spend their time — that ends with a clear, written plan organized around three questions: what should we Train our team to do better, what should we Buy, and what should we Build?

Who this is for

This is a good fit if:

You lead a 5–100 person, service-driven business
You see bottlenecks in email, handoffs, proposals, reporting, or onboarding
You’ve heard a lot about AI but aren’t sure where it makes sense in your world
You want to move forward, but you want clarity before you spend
You’re ready to invest — you just need priorities

Our Approach

We start where most AI conversations don't — with your team's time. Before we make a single recommendation, we build a clear picture of where your people are spending their hours and which of those hours are the best candidates for AI. That means talking to your managers and your frontline people separately. Managers see the strategic bottlenecks. Employees know the workarounds, the friction, and the manual steps that never get escalated. The gap between those two perspectives is usually where the most valuable findings live. From there, we analyze what we've learned against a research-backed framework of how knowledge workers spend their time, identify your highest-impact AI opportunities, and deliver a written brief your leadership team can act on.

What You Walk Away With

A clear, written AI Opportunity Brief organized around three buckets:

Train Your Team — Where better skills, smarter tool use, and custom assistants would produce immediate time savings — without buying or building anything new.

Buy Off-the-Shelf — Where existing tools already solve the problem well. We name specific options with honest notes on fit, so you're not starting from a Google search.

Build Custom — Where no off-the-shelf solution fits and a purpose-built assistant or workflow automation would create meaningful, lasting value.

Every recommendation is specific enough to act on. This is a prioritized plan, not a list of possibilities.

After the assessment

You can point to specific workflows where AI can save hours each week
You know what to tackle first, second, and third — and why
You can evaluate new AI tools and ideas against a clear framework, not gut feel
You have a document you can share with partners, leadership, or your team
You’re ready to start your first build project knowing exactly what success looks like
