Find out where AI actually pays off in your business.
A two-week, fixed-price diagnostic based on how work really gets done. We interview the people doing it, find where AI saves the most time or makes the most money, and hand you a prioritised roadmap with two or three working proofs of concept.
Now booking founding clients for early 2027The manual isn't the job
Most AI projects fail because they focus on automating only the documented workflow, and the documented workflow isn't the real one. The exceptions, judgement calls and workarounds that make a process work live in people's heads, not in the procedure manual.
So we start with the people doing the work, and ask about the last time a task was done, not how it's meant to be done.
Five steps over two weeks
Kick-off and survey
A kick-off with you, a short team survey, and interviews booked.
Interviews
Recorded 60-minute conversations that walk through a real day, not the procedure manual.
Find the opportunities
Time lost, work repeated, people waiting on information, rework after errors.
Rank them
Each is scored on value, feasibility, return and risk, so you start with what pays off first.
Present
A short presentation, the full evidence pack, and two or three working proofs of concept on your own low-risk tasks.
Every workflow sorted by risk and reward
- Every workflow classified green, amber or red, with the reasoning
- An evidence pack you can forward to partners or staff
- A short live presentation
- Two or three working proofs of concept, demonstrated, not mocked up
- A prioritised 12-month sequence
| Workflow | Class | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Quote follow-up emails | Green | Low-risk information, high volume |
| Summarising client files | Amber | Client data: business AI plan only, with review |
| Deciding credit terms | Red | A judgement call: keep it with a person |
| x | x | x |
Illustrative sample. Your classification covers your own workflows.
The guarantee, the credit, and what comes after
- Guarantee: if your roadmap doesn't identify at least three opportunities worth doing, you don't pay.
- Credit: if you go ahead within 30 days of receiving your roadmap, the fee is credited against what you do next.
- Two ways to act on the roadmap: build it with your team through the Apex AI Concierge, or have us build one piece for you at a fixed price, quoted from the roadmap.
Common questions
Why pay for a plan? Why not just build something?
Because building for the wrong process is the most expensive mistake in AI. Two weeks of diagnosis stops you paying twice.
We're too small for this.
It's built for small and medium businesses. Fewer people means faster wins, and it's priced for businesses your size.
$1,000 is a lot for a report.
It's more than a report: you get two or three working proofs of concept. If you go ahead with us within 30 days of your roadmap, the fee is credited back.
How is this different from a free AI consultation?
A free session gives general direction. The Diagnostic interviews your own team, maps how the work really happens, and builds working examples on your own low-risk tasks.
What's the guarantee?
If your roadmap doesn't identify at least three opportunities worth doing, you don't pay.
