Most organizations don’t need all of these services. Most start with one. The logical path runs from discovery through implementation, but you can enter at any point depending on where you are. If you’re not sure where to start, S1 is a 90-minute working session designed to answer exactly that question.

“Don’t focus on replacing humans. Focus on how you can use AI to help the ones you’ve got.”
Gary Marcus · Fortune

Each service below is independent. Pricing scales with scope, and every engagement begins with a 30-minute conversation to confirm fit before any commitment is made.

S1 · AI Fit Discovery
Starting at $3,500 · 90-minute working session

The lowest-friction entry point. A focused working session to map where AI genuinely applies to your team’s workflows, and where it doesn’t. No pitch, no generic audit. An honest assessment that ends with a clear recommendation on next steps, including prioritized implementation options and budgeting considerations so you understand the investment required for each path.

“Finding the right problem, that’s the hard part.”
Prezi CEO Szafranski · Inc, Mar 2026
What you get

AI Opportunity Brief (2–3 pages) with prioritized opportunity areas, effort/impact ratings, honest risk flags, and ranked next-step options with budget estimates.

Best for: Organizations early in the AI conversation, or teams that have started and stalled. This is the primary entry point.
Start with Discovery
S2 · AI Readiness Assessment
Starting at $7,500 · 2–3 weeks

Comprehensive audit of your current AI capability, tooling, workflow integration, and change readiness. If you’re new to AI and planning a meaningful implementation, this uncovers gaps, risks, and dependencies before resources are committed.

“Only 2% of organizations have AI deployed at full scale,
and trust in AI dropped from 43% to 27% over the past year.”
Capgemini Research Institute · 2026

Important: If you’ve already piloted or tested AI and it’s not delivering the results you expected, our Post-Implementation Redirect service (S9) may be the better fit.

What we need from you

Access to your tech stack inventory and current tools. Participation from 5–8 key stakeholders (product, design, engineering, leadership). Budget authority clarity. A sense of your timeline and organizational constraints.

What you get

Readiness Report with gap analysis, risk matrix, recommended sequencing plan, change management readiness score, and team capability assessment across experience and leadership.

Best for: Organizations planning a meaningful AI initiative who want an honest baseline before committing time and budget.

S3 · Quick Wins Implementation
Starting at $12,000 · 4–6 weeks

Fast, visible results that build team confidence and executive buy-in. Identify and deploy high-impact, low-disruption AI workflows that produce measurable results within 30 days. Pricing scales based on the number of workflows and complexity. Whether you’ve come from S1/S2 or are starting fresh with us, we scope this in discovery to fit your situation and budget.

“They’re not papering AI everywhere across their organization.
They’re being incredibly focused in where they point the resource.”

Show Me the Quick Wins
S4 · Full AI Transformation
Starting at $35,000 · 90–180 days

Comprehensive 3–6 month program to weave AI into your core product and design processes. Multiple workflows, team restructuring, process redesign, change management, and organizational scaling. Pricing scales with scope: more workflows, larger teams, and longer timelines adjust the investment.

“60% of AI implementations fail because they cannot integrate with legacy systems.”
McKinsey · via Lleverage AI, April 2026

We also build in a 30-day proof point with a clear exit option. If we’re not on track to meet objectives after 30 days, either party can exit with 30 days notice, and you retain all deliverables to date. This removes risk and signals confidence.

What you get

Redesigned workflows, restructured team roles, process documentation, change management support, team training, and organizational readiness for ongoing optimization.

Best for: Organizations ready to make a substantial commitment to AI transformation, scaling teams, redesigning processes, and embedding AI into core operations. This is the flagship service.

S5 · AI Workshop Series
Starting at $4,500 per module

Targeted upskilling for teams already deploying AI who need structured training. Half-day or full-day workshops on practical topics: prompt engineering, workflow design, governance, team coordination, documentation standards. Modules are independent, pick what your team needs.

“Only 9% have broad AI expertise. Upskilling increases retention 47%.”
Hull/Boylan · Inc, Apr 2026
What you get

Structured workshop content tailored to your team, hands-on exercises, take-home documentation, and access to follow-up Q&A.

S6 · Executive AI Briefing
Starting at $5,000 · 2 hours plus follow-up

Help executives understand why their organizational design, governance, and processes, not the AI itself, determine success. Most companies struggle with AI because they try to implement new technology into outdated organizational structures.

“Your company doesn’t have a talent problem. It has a design problem.”
Fast Company

The issue isn’t smart people or smart AI. It’s the work design, role design, operating model, and performance systems. This briefing builds clarity on architecture decisions leaders need to make before implementation starts, what governance actually looks like, and why process redesign precedes technology deployment.

What you get

90-minute working session covering organizational readiness, governance framework, process redesign requirements, team structure implications, and decision clarity on next steps. Includes follow-up conversation to address questions and clarify path forward.

Best for: Executives (CEO, CTO, CPO) who need to make decisions about AI investment before or during implementation. Builds alignment across leadership on the real blockers and removes confusion about technology vs. organization.

S8 · Ongoing Optimization & Advisory
Starting at $3,500/month · 3-month minimum, month-to-month thereafter

Post-implementation support to sustain adoption and optimize workflows. Monthly advisory on workflow refinement, team challenges, governance questions, and scaling issues. Typical start is Month 3–4 after implementation, but if you’re deploying AI for the first time and want ongoing strategic support from day one, this works too. We’ll scope it in discovery.

“Approximately 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots fail to deliver meaningful results.
Only about 5% make it to sustained production.”
MIT-backed analysis · via Fast Company / Enrique Dans, Apr 2026
What you get

Monthly sessions, workflow refinement recommendations, team coaching, governance guidance, adoption metrics tracking, and strategic input on next phase initiatives.

Best for: Teams that want continuity and optimization after implementation, or organizations deploying AI for the first time and wanting strategic leadership throughout the process.
Talk About Ongoing Support
S9 · Pilot & Post-Implementation Redirect
Starting at $10,000 · 2–3 weeks

Your AI pilot stalled. ROI disappeared. You assigned the wrong teams or management. The implementation went sideways and team morale is affected. This diagnostic service identifies root causes and provides a redirect plan. Not a restart, a reset with the teams and structures you already have, adjusted for what’s actually working.

“Approximately 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots fail to reach sustained production.
Most organizations are stuck in pilot purgatory.”
MIT-backed analysis · Fast Company, April 2026
What you get

Root cause analysis, redirect plan with specific team / management / workflow recommendations, governance assessment, and clear next steps to restart momentum.

Best for: Organizations that have tried AI implementation and it hasn’t worked. This service solves the recovery problem, identifying what broke and how to fix it without starting from scratch.
