A five-day, fixed-price audit of one function in your agency or production business — the status-chasing, repeat questions and routine admin that pull your best people off billable work — ending in one recommended first AI project, scored and costed.
For founders, COOs and managing directors of established agencies and production companies, typically 15–150 people.
Your senior people spend their day assembling.
Every client update is stitched together from the project tool, the timesheets, the inbox and someone's memory — then it is out of date.
Rates, availability, who did what on the last job, where the files are. The answer lives in a few heads, so the few heads get interrupted all day.
Proposals, invoices, supplier confirmations and renewals move only when someone remembers. Cash and pipeline both suffer quietly.
Something written, scored and defensible.
You order online or by invoice. We confirm within one business day and send the intake questionnaire with the invoice.
Intake returned and payment cleared. We request the two or three documents or exports that matter.
We map the function's information flows and score each candidate workflow for value, feasibility and risk.
One first project, scoped, with indicative cost and timeline — and the data or access issues to fix first.
Written readout delivered. Review call within two business days, at your convenience.
If information arrives late or incomplete, the clock pauses; it does not reset. If after intake we conclude it is not a fit, we say so and refund in full. Engagement terms ↗
Unsure? Book the fit call. We disqualify openly, in writing, if it is not for you.
Built, shipped and labelled honestly.
Every audit is written and reviewed by the founder, who has spent two decades inside agency and production operations. Engineering and integration specialists are engaged per build and named in your Roadmap.
Many clients act on the readout with their own team. If you continue with QC, every earlier payment carries forward.
The Audit is credited in full against a Business AI Roadmap (US$7,500–15,000) commissioned within 30 days. The Roadmap is credited in full against an implementation of US$50,000 or more, and half against US$35,000–49,999, commissioned within 60 days. Credits apply once, to the next step only.
Implementations run 6–12 weeks, billed 40/30/30, with a 30-day warranty and an optional care plan from US$5,000 per month. All engagements ↗
Because the first project has to be small enough to ship and measure. One function — account management, production, finance, new business — is enough to find a first project worth doing and to prove the permission and logging pattern. The Business AI Roadmap covers the whole company if that is what you need, and you can start there directly.
About an hour for the intake questionnaire, a few minutes to share two or three documents or exports, and the review call. We do not run workshops.
Documents are shared by secure link, used only for the Audit, and deleted on request afterwards. We never need passwords. A mutual NDA is available before intake if you prefer.
Any time before you return the intake questionnaire, for a full refund. After intake is received and work starts, the fee is not refundable but remains creditable toward a Roadmap within 30 days. If we cannot deliver, or conclude it is not a fit, you are refunded in full. Engagement terms ↗
Twenty minutes: which function, what depends on whom, and whether the Audit is the right first step. We reply personally within two business days with a proposed time.
