Most owners can’t answer that. We interview every employee, build you a clear map of where time really goes, then show you exactly where AI can buy it back. Our AI Readiness Assessment gives Traverse City and Northern Michigan businesses a clear, no-guesswork answer — starting at $750.
When it was just you, you knew every task, every bottleneck, every tool. Now you have 8, 15, 30 people — and a lot of trust-and-hope management happening below the surface. AI can fix real problems, but you can’t automate what you haven’t mapped. We work with 10–150 person businesses across Traverse City and Northern Michigan — many of the same clients who lean on us for help desk support and cybersecurity.
We confirm your company’s readiness by checking your tools, learning where you keep data, discovering your capacity to adopt AI. We interview every employee individually, structurally, confidentially. We map roles, responsibilities, time allocation, tools, and friction points.
A clear map of exactly where we can help you automate tasks, improve profitability, and scale your business like never before.
You decide what to build. We scope and price each automation individually. Work integrates with your existing tools. Fixed scope, fixed price.
A report listing any changes needed to where your data is stored, what tools are capable of being integrated, and potential changes might be needed before we can start.
A structured breakdown of every role — responsibilities, daily tasks, weekly hours, tools used.
Every pain point and workaround your employees described — documented and prioritized.
The ai readiness assessment, business knowledge map, and ai opportunity report delivered 2–3 weeks in many cases. All for a one-time fee.
Scoped per project. A fixed price engagement to build the integration and automate critical parts of your workload.
Once built, we host and maintain your new automation tools. They run in the background and work for you 24/7.
sually yes. Most businesses interact with a chat interface and copy and paste the output — the SBA’s own guidance on AI for small business points to the same gap. That output is only as good as the prompter and only provided once. We integrate AI into your systems, your tools, your data. Workflows are often triggered automatically and tasks are complete autonomously — 24/7.
We’ve found the opposite to be true. The interviews are structured, individual, and focused on workflows, not performance reviews. Many employees have said the interviewer did a good job capturing and understanding their job, workflow, tools, and frustrations. Over half of business owners said they didn’t realize all the things their staff were doing.
A perfectly fine. You own the knowledge map and opportunities report and can use them however you want.
Typically 2–3 weeks from kickoff to delivered report, including all employee interviews. Most employees complete the interview in 20-40 minutes — no disruption to operations required.
It’s more relevant to non-tech companies than to tech ones — repetitive data entry, manual scheduling, and report generation usually hide real recoverable hours. It’s the same reason non-technical businesses already trust us for managed IT services — you don’t need to understand the tech, just the time it’s costing you.
