Step zero: AI Leverage Briefing

90 minutes. Three answers. $1,250.

A working session with the principal, scoped to the three questions that decide whether an AI investment is worth making at all. You leave with a written answer to each, not a proposal.

01 / The three answers

Three questions, answered in writing.

  1. 01

    Where AI creates real leverage in your business

  2. 02

    What is deployable now

  3. 03

    Which governance gap would stop you first

What you receive A two-page written findings memo, within 48 hours of the session.

02 / The fee

100% of the briefing fee credits toward the Audit within 60 days.

The briefing costs $1,250. If you go on to commission the Audit within 60 days, that amount comes off the price, so the session costs you nothing beyond the time. If you do not, you still keep the memo.

03 / How it runs

What the 90 minutes looks like.

  1. 01

    Before the session

    You send whatever context you already have. No preparation deck, no data room. If a short call is needed to scope the three questions to your business, that happens first and it is not billed.

  2. 02

    The 90 minutes

    We work through the three questions in order, with your team in the room. This is a working session, so expect to be asked about process, systems, and where the current bottlenecks actually sit.

  3. 03

    Within 48 hours

    A two-page written findings memo, within 48 hours of the session.

  4. 04

    Then your call

    If the memo says the answer is "not yet", that is a legitimate outcome and you have saved a great deal more than the fee. If it says go, 100% of the briefing fee credits toward the Audit within 60 days.

04 / Fit

Who this is for, and who it is not.

A good fit

Best for leaders deciding whether and where to invest in AI, before committing to a full audit.

Not a fit

Not for teams looking for a free strategy call. If you want a no-cost read on where you stand, the assessment scores it in about seven minutes and costs nothing.

05 / Questions

Before you book.

What do I actually walk away with?
A two-page written findings memo, within 48 hours of the session. It answers the three questions in writing, names the governance gap that would stop you first, and states what we would do next and what it would cost. It is written to be forwarded to people who were not in the room.
Is the fee really credited?
Yes. 100% of the briefing fee credits toward the Audit within 60 days. There is no separate discount to negotiate and no expiry games: book the Audit within that window and the $1,250 comes off the price.
Why is this not a free call?
Because a free call produces a free answer. Charging for the session is what makes it a working session with preparation, a written deliverable, and a real recommendation rather than a pitch. If you want a no-cost read first, the assessment is free and self-serve.
Who is in the room from your side?
The principal. Not a salesperson, not a junior analyst. That is the whole point of the format, and it is why it is capped at 90 minutes.
What if we are not ready to invest at all?
Then the memo will say so, and it will say what would need to be true first. That is a useful answer and it is the reason the price is small relative to what an audit costs.
