Advisory

A roadmap you can hand to someone else.

Most small firms do not need a strategy deck. They need a ranked list: what to fix first, what it costs, what it saves, and what to ignore.

Automation Roadmap

We map how the work actually moves today — not how the org chart says it moves — then rank every candidate by hours returned against cost and risk. The output is a build order, in writing, with your numbers in it.

Quoted on the call · typically two weeks

What you get

  • Current-state map of the workflow, on one page
  • Ranked opportunity list with hours and cost per item
  • A proposed build order, and what to do yourself
  • The training plan that keeps it running

What it is not

  • Not software. Nothing gets built here.
  • Not a license to automate everything at once.
  • Not a report you file and forget — we walk it with you.

Capability mapping

A shorter engagement for a team that already knows what it wants to fix and needs the skill, not the direction. Half a day of mapping plus the training that follows from it. Quoted on the call.

Where the roadmap lands

Every recommendation is expressed as a rung on that ladder, so you can see the cost curve before you commit to it.

Tier 1On your own machine One workflow, one person, nothing to buy. Proves the idea before anyone spends money.
Tier 2Local + cloud The work moves where it runs best. Data stays where it is allowed to stay.
Tier 3Always-on box It runs whether you are at your desk or not. Now it is a system, not a trick.
Tier 4Managed hosting Someone else keeps it alive. Monthly cost, monthly decision.

For partners

Bookkeepers, fractional operators, integrators and consultants: if your clients keep asking about AI and you would rather not become an AI company, we will take that work and keep you in the room. Referral terms and white-label delivery are agreed case by case — ask, and we will put it in writing.
