Question 1

What exactly do I get for $1,500?

Accepted Answer

A 12 to 18 page PDF diagnostic report built specifically for your business. It names the tools, the configurations, the costs, the implementation order, and what not to do at your stage. Plus a tier recommendation for what engagement level fits your situation.

Question 2

When do I actually get charged?

Accepted Answer

Your card is authorized (a hold is placed) when you start the diagnostic. You are only charged after the questionnaire is complete and you qualify. If the diagnostic determines your business is not a fit, the hold is released and you pay nothing.

Question 3

How long does the questionnaire take?

Accepted Answer

About 15 minutes for most people. The questionnaire adapts based on your answers, so the total ranges from 25 to 45 questions. You can save your progress and come back later.

Question 4

When will I receive my diagnostic report?

Accepted Answer

Within 48 hours of completing the questionnaire, usually faster. Every report is reviewed by a human before delivery.

Question 5

What if AI is not actually a good fit for my business?

Accepted Answer

The diagnostic will tell you. If your business does not qualify based on the questionnaire, your card authorization is released and you pay nothing. If you qualify but the recommended scope is small, the report says so. We do not invent work that does not exist.

Question 6

Do I have to buy coaching or done-for-you services after the diagnostic?

Accepted Answer

No. The diagnostic includes a tier recommendation, but you decide what to do with it. If Tier 1 (self-implementation) is the recommendation, the report itself is detailed enough to follow on your own.

Question 7

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Accepted Answer

US-based service businesses with $500,000 to $10 million in revenue and 2 to 30 employees. The owner or a direct report to the owner needs to be the one taking the diagnostic. Industries include consulting, contracting, healthcare, legal, financial services, home services, marketing, IT, and similar.

Question 8

What if I am not sure I qualify?

Accepted Answer

Start the diagnostic. Your card is authorized but not charged until completion. If the questionnaire reveals your situation is not a fit, we release the authorization. The only downside risk is about 15 minutes of your time.

Question 9

Is this just another AI consulting firm?

Accepted Answer

No. Enterprise AI consulting firms scope large engagements before they understand your business. The Standalone does the diagnostic first and recommends the smallest effective scope. If that means you implement on your own with a guide, we will say so.

Question 10

Can I talk to someone before I pay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the contact form on this site to send a question. But the diagnostic is designed to work without a sales call. You pay, answer questions, and get a report.

Question 11

Can you help with AI receptionist setup?

Accepted Answer

If the diagnostic identifies phone handling or front-desk tasks as an automation opportunity, the report will recommend specific AI receptionist tools, configurations, and expected cost savings. Many service businesses recover 10-15 hours per week from this single change.

Question 12

What kind of back-office automation does the diagnostic cover?

Accepted Answer

Invoicing, scheduling, data entry, document routing, basic bookkeeping, client onboarding, and similar repetitive tasks. The report names specific tools and configurations for AI back-office automation based on what your team actually does day to day.

Question 13

When should I hire an AI consultant vs do it myself?

Accepted Answer

The diagnostic answers exactly this question. If your situation calls for Tier 1 (DIY), you get a detailed implementation guide. If it calls for Tier 2 or 3, you will know why. Most business owners should not hire an AI consultant until they know which problems are worth solving first - that is what the diagnostic determines.

Question 14

Do you cover AI tools for specific industries like HVAC, legal, or healthcare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The questionnaire captures your industry and operational specifics so the diagnostic report recommends AI tools for your industry vertical - not generic software lists. Contractors, law firms, medical practices, marketing agencies, and similar service businesses each get industry-relevant recommendations.
