You bought the AI tools. Nobody redesigned the work.
The AI Implementation Audit is a two-week diagnostic for teams told to “figure out AI.” I interview your team, map how work actually gets done, and tell you exactly what to implement, in what order, and why. If it doesn't hand you three fixes you can act on within 30 days, you don't pay.
Book a Discovery CallThe situation you're in
Someone above you bought licenses. Someone else forwarded a “10 AI tools your team should be using” listicle. Now you're the one expected to produce an AI strategy, with no budget line, no dev team, and a boss who keeps asking “where are we on AI.”
Every vendor demo looks great. None of those vendors have seen how your work actually happens at 4pm on a Thursday, when the documented process and the real process stop resembling each other. That gap is where AI rollouts die, and it's the one thing no tool can see from the outside.
What the audit is
Two weeks. About two hours of your team's time.
Week 1: diagnosis
An intake form, three to four stakeholder interviews (30 minutes each, async-friendly), and a review of your workflow documentation. At the end of the week you get a Compliance-Decay Scorecard: where your current processes will quietly fall apart under AI, and where they'll hold.
Week 2: the plan
A decision-ready implementation plan and a 90-day roadmap, sequenced and justified. Plus a one-pager written for your boss, because a plan only counts if the person with the budget reads it.
Every audit includes a 30-day check-in call. And if you book an Implementation Sprint within 60 days, the full audit fee credits toward it.
Who it's for
Ops leads, PMs, team leads, workflow designers. The people told to make AI happen without being given anything to make it happen with. Thirty days from now you're the credible AI voice in the room, executing a plan you can defend line by line, instead of drowning in tool sprawl and option overwhelm.
Two honest exclusions: I don't take healthcare engagements, and this isn't a dev shop. The audit tells you what to build and in what order; the Sprint helps your team build the first one.
“Why would I pay for something AI should do for me?”
Fair question. Try it first: ask your favorite model for an AI roadmap for your team. You'll get something plausible and generic.
Here's what it can't do. It can't interview your team. It can't see the distance between the workflow doc and what people actually do under deadline. And it will happily write you a confident, wrong roadmap; I keep a public lab notebook of implementation failures, and Entry 002 is exactly this. The failure modes killing AI rollouts are produced by AI. You don't ask the fox to audit the henhouse.
The math behind the scorecard
A model, not a measurement of your team: assume people follow each soft rule in a process about 90% of the time under pressure (generous). A process with six such rules runs fully clean roughly 53% of the time. Thirty rules: about 4%. No single rule is being ignored; what collapses is the chance that any one run follows all of them. The scorecard finds where your workflows lean on that kind of compliance, because those are the exact places AI adoption quietly fails.
Pricing
The Audit
$3,500
The two-week diagnostic: Compliance-Decay Scorecard in week 1; implementation plan, 90-day roadmap, and boss one-pager in week 2. About two hours of your team's time.
Audit + Sprint
$7,500
The audit rolls directly into building your #1 workflow with your team (2–4 weeks). About $9,000 booked separately.
Founding rate: $2,500 for the first three audit clients.
No fake scarcity: you're early, you take a small risk on me, you get the discount and priority scheduling. I get a case study. After three, the price is the price.
An advisory retainer is available after an engagement, for teams that want ongoing help executing the roadmap.
The guarantee
At least three actionable fixes within 30 days, or you don't pay.
“Actionable” is defined in the statement of work, not in marketing language: specific to your named workflows and tools, and executable by your existing team without new hires or new spend. If the audit doesn't clear that bar, the invoice is void.
Why me
I've done this before, at scale, without a budget. I led a knowledge-management overhaul at Mural Consulting: 14 months, 150+ employees, 8 departments, $0 spend, 99% adoption. The tools were different; the adoption problem was identical.
On the AI side: I built and run Content Loop, a production SaaS content system: 7 of 7 podcast episodes processed, 41 content pieces, zero failed runs. I've shipped a custom MCP server, public on GitHub. I hold 4 Anthropic certifications. And I run my own business on the same methodology I audit against, documented in a 23-entry Implementation Lab Notebook that feeds the newsletter.
