Find your best AI starting point.

Every role in scope, scored on evidence and priced with payback and risk.

What it looks like

Turn “we should do something with AI” into a costed plan.

We inventory the tasks in each role, score them on a research backed rubric, and set the result against what the role costs today. Every move carries a payback figure and a risk rating, and each is labeled forecast until it is measured.

The answer for a role may be automate, augment, keep, or re-source. Sometimes the answer is nothing, and we say so.

Start with: AI Starting Point Diagnostic. Fixed fee: $7,500 for up to 5 roles in one business function, delivered 10 to 15 business days after complete evidence. More roles are quoted before work starts.
