The Problem

$45K–75K

Typically spent with AI vendors and consultants before anyone diagnoses the actual problem

What we see
1 in 3

AI projects we review turn out to be solving a problem the business didn’t have.

Pattern
Most

Teams stay buried in repetitive work while the AI conversation stays theoretical.

From the field
01

Sold tools, not answers

The vendor's diagnosis is always their own product

02

Nobody owns the decision

Everyone has an opinion on AI. No one has a number

BUILD-FIRST AI

You might recognise this

The most expensive mistake mid-market companies are making right now.

You've bought software your team barely uses

01

Six-figure quote, and you received a slide deck

02

"An AI solution" without asking what it should do

03

Your team is buried in repetitive work

04

You suspect there's real money in this

05

But nobody has shown you where

06

The Diagnosis Map

Most of your money
hides in a few
repetitive corners

We map where time and money actually go across your operation. The big marks are where work is repetitive, rules-based and high-volume the places AI pays. The small ones are science projects. That’s the whole session.

What The Session Is

01

Map where your time and money go

A clear view of your highest-cost, highest-repetition work

02

Identify the three highest-value opportunities

Your top three, ranked by return not by what's fashionable

Ninety minutes on your business, not a presentation about AI. Guided by senior consultants who do this for a living. You leave with real numbers and you keep everything we produce.

Star Icon
03

Size each one in hours and money

A financial figure against every opportunity, built on your actual numbers

YOU KEEP EVERYTHING WE PRODUCE

THE SOLUTION

Diagnose first
Then build what pays

Three moves, in this order. The diagnosis told you which one is worth the money. The sprint is what happens next — a week, not a quarter, and a working system at the end of it.

Diagnose
STEP 01

Diagnose

Ninety minutes on your operation. Where the repetition is, what it costs, and which three fixes are worth the money

Cost it
STEP 02

Cost it

A number against every opportunity, built from your figures. If we can't put a number on it, we won't recommend it

Build & operate
STEP 03

Build & operate

We build the highest-value one and run it. Only after the number exists — never before

The New Way To
Choose

Building software is no longer the hard part — the cost and the skill floor have collapsed. The expensive mistake is building the wrong thing quickly. The scarce skill is judgment.

01

Start with the P&L

Most mid-market AI spending is wasted because it starts with technology instead of the P&L

02

Find the repetition

AI pays where work is repetitive, rules-based and high-volume. Everywhere else, it's a science project

03

Put a number on it

If we can't put a number on it, we won't recommend it

04

Choose before you build

Building is the easy part now. Choosing correctly is the hard part.
