What to Automate First in a Small Business
Most SMB automation projects start in the wrong place. A function-by-function method for picking the first workflow, from scoring 12 real processes.
Read the postGuidance for individuals, teams, organizations and large corporations — how to navigate the AI market, use your current tech stack with AI, adopt best practices, and decide where agents or infrastructure actually fit.
Whether you are an operator trying to use AI well in your own workflow, a team leader rolling AI into a department, an organization defining a company-wide approach, or a large corporation aligning multiple stakeholders — the questions are the same: what is real, what is hype, and what is the right next step for us specifically.
We sit with you, learn your context, and give you direct, opinionated answers — not generic AI talking points.
A clear, jargon-free view of the AI landscape — what the major models, tools and vendors actually do, what they cost, and which ones are relevant to you.
We look at the tools you already pay for — CRM, email, docs, spreadsheets, support, data — and show you exactly where AI plugs in without ripping anything out.
How to prompt, review, govern and deploy AI safely — for individuals, teams and organizations. Practical rules your people will actually follow.
Concrete advice on when AI agents are enough, when you need custom AI infrastructure built, and how to sequence the two without overbuilding.
A written summary of recommendations your team — or ours — can act on: priorities, tools, owners and the realistic next steps.
We learn your business, your stack, your team and your goals — through structured working sessions.
We map your processes against the AI landscape, identify the highest-leverage opportunities and stress-test them against your reality.
We deliver opinionated recommendations, walk your team through them, and answer every question — strategy only, never lock-in.
Strategy and guidance only. No execution lock-in.
Our recommendations stand on their own — you can implement them with your internal team, a partner you already trust, or with us. If the path forward involves AI agents or AI infrastructure, we can scope that as a separate engagement, but it is never a condition of the consulting work.
Book a scoping call. We will understand your context — individual, team, organization or corporation — and tell you whether consulting is the right next step.
