Our engagement model

1. AI Audit (\$1,500, 1-2 weeks)

Written, prioritized roadmap. Diagnostic of current AI usage, ranked workflow recommendations, platform recommendation, 90-day action plan, budget estimate.

2. Implementation (\$5K-\$50K, 4-12 weeks)

Fixed-fee implementation of 1-3 production AI workflows from the audit. Built on Claude or ChatGPT Team/Enterprise with custom Projects, prompt libraries, and team training.

3. Retainer (\$3K-\$15K/month, ongoing)

Light ongoing partnership after the initial implementation. Quarterly reviews, expansion workflows, ad-hoc questions, training refreshes.

Austin's B2B ecosystem is broader than the SaaS reputation suggests — financial services, healthcare tech, logistics, manufacturing, professional services, real estate. AI rollout patterns differ by vertical, and we work across the major Austin clusters.
