AI Efficiency Assessment

Which task should you automate first?

You have the apps. You have the subscriptions. So why are the missed calls still piling up?

Most owners buy the tool before they map the work. That is the mistake. You end up with five logins and the same lost hours. Start with the task, not the tool. I sit with your actual week, find the 5 to 10 hours a week you are losing to repetitive work, and hand you the order to automate it. First fix, second fix, third. Named tools, estimated hours, ranked.

A $10,000-a-month automation agency sells you a retainer. This is a one-time $997 Assessment, which is less than one day of a full-time hire, and it tells you which tools actually matter so you never need the retainer.

A 45-minute call. A written plan in 45 hours. If it does not name at least 5 hours a week you can win back, you do not pay.

Book the Assessment

$997 flat. The plan is yours either way.

What you get

One 45-minute discovery call. One ranked, written plan delivered within 45 hours. One 30-minute walkthrough where Andrew explains the plan and answers questions. The plan is 2 to 3 pages, ranked by estimated hours saved per week, and it names specific AI tools by name. You keep the plan whether you implement with Andrew, your own team, or another vendor.

If the plan does not identify at least 5 hours per week of automatable work in your business, you do not pay. The guarantee is unconditional.

How it works

  1. Discovery call (45 minutes). Andrew walks through how your business actually runs. Quoting, scheduling, follow-up, onboarding, reporting, the inbox. The goal is to find the parts of the week that repeat.
  2. Ranked plan (45 hours). A 2 to 3 page document that lists the top automatable workflows, names the specific tools, estimates weekly hours saved, and orders them by impact.
  3. Walkthrough call (30 minutes). Andrew explains the plan, answers questions, and helps you decide what to build first.

Services

1. AI Efficiency Assessment — $997 flat

The entry point. A ranked plan in 45 hours that tells you exactly which AI tools fit your business and how many hours per week each one saves. Most businesses end here with a build list they can hand to anyone. Read the full assessment page →

2. AI Implementation — custom pricing

Done-for-you build of the top items from your assessment plan. Integrations across Zapier, Make.com, n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, HubSpot, Airtable, Calendly, Twilio, and Notion. Scoped from the assessment, priced by project. See all services →

3. OS Builder — $5,000

A productized build of a multi-agent operating system for your business. The OS is a folder-based hierarchy of AI agents, each scoped to one part of your company. Sales, marketing, operations, finance, hiring. Every agent reads the same persistent business context so you never re-explain who you are or what you sell.

You give the system a goal. It routes the work to the right agent and brings it back to you when human judgment is required. Built on Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT-4o, with Zapier, Make.com, and n8n for integration. Includes the build, the agent canon, and a 60-day implementation runway. Read the full OS Builder page →

From the blog

Tools and integrations

The assessment plan and any implementation work pull from the same stack: Anthropic Claude (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku), OpenAI GPT-4o and GPT-4, Zapier, Make.com, n8n for self-hosted automation, HubSpot and Pipedrive for CRM, Airtable and Notion for structured data and knowledge, Calendly for scheduling, Twilio for SMS and voice, and Gmail and Google Workspace APIs for inbox and document workflows. Recommendations are matched to the bottleneck. There is no preferred vendor.

Who this is for

Owner-operated small businesses with 5 to 50 employees and a real team. Trades and contractors, professional services, agencies, e-commerce operations, real estate teams, and small financial and legal practices all qualify. Solo operators are a weaker fit because there is not enough repeatable process surface area for the math to work.
