See exactly how your operation works — and what to fix first

A focused, productized assessment that maps your workflows, systems, and data, then hands you a prioritized roadmap for modernization and AI readiness.

The purpose

Clarity before commitment

Before anyone writes a line of code or buys a tool, you deserve a clear, objective picture of how work actually flows through your business — where it breaks, where it’s manual, where data goes missing, and where AI could genuinely help.

The Operational Intelligence Assessment is our entry point. In a few focused weeks, we sit with your team, follow the real workflows, and produce a roadmap you can act on with us or with anyone. It’s the lowest-risk way to turn “our operations feel chaotic” into a concrete, prioritized plan.

Typical investment: $20k–$50k
What you receive

Deliverables

Concrete, usable artifacts — not a slide deck that sits on a shelf.

  • End-to-end process map of your core operations
  • System inventory across tools, platforms, and spreadsheets
  • Data flow analysis — where data lives and how it moves
  • Workflow bottleneck analysis
  • Manual work identification & effort estimates
  • Integration gap analysis
  • AI opportunity analysis & readiness rating
  • Modernization roadmap
  • Prioritized execution plan with sequencing
  • Clear recommendation on what to do first — and why
What you walk away with

A report you could act on tomorrow

The free Self-Check gives you the summary scorecard. The paid assessment is the full report — that summary up front, then the deep work underneath. Here’s a sample.

SAMPLE
Operational Intelligence Assessment

Pricing & quoting workflow

Executive summary in the free self-check

“Your quoting workflow is stable, but pricing data lives in three disconnected spreadsheets — driving rework, inconsistent quotes, and slow turnaround. The highest-value first move is a single governed price source. AI is not yet appropriate here until that foundation exists.”

1

Consolidate pricing into one governed source

The unlock for everything else — one price list, one owner.

Impact: HighEffort: Low~4 weeks
2

Automate the quote-approval handoff

Replace the email chain with a tracked, rules-based approval.

Impact: HighEffort: Medium
3

AI-assisted quote drafting — once data is trusted

Only after the price source is unified and owned.

Impact: MediumGated on wave 1
Risk flags & what NOT to do yet full report only

Don’t point AI at quoting until the pricing data is unified and owned — automating the current state now would just scale the errors faster.

Recommendation — what to do first
Start with wave 1: one governed price source. It’s low-effort, high-impact, and every later improvement depends on it.

The two free sections are what the Self-Check delivers; the full report sections are the paid depth. Sample content shown for illustration.

The engagement

What it looks like to work with us

A defined scope, a fixed timeline, and a tangible result — so you know exactly what you’re getting before you commit to a larger program.

Week 1

Kickoff and discovery. We meet the people who run the work and start following the real workflows — not the org chart version.

Weeks 2–3

We map systems, data flows, and handoffs; pinpoint bottlenecks and manual work; and assess AI readiness.

Week 4

We synthesize findings into a prioritized roadmap and sequence the work by impact, effort, and risk.

Readout

A working session with your leadership team to walk the roadmap and agree on what to do first.

What you walk away with

A clear, prioritized modernization and AI-readiness roadmap your leadership team can act on — with us or with anyone. Typical engagement: 3–5 weeks, $20k–$50k, fixed scope. No long commitment, no obligation to continue.

Who it’s for

This is the right starting point if…

Your operations feel fragile

Critical processes depend on manual work, spreadsheets, email, and a few key people.

You want AI but aren’t ready

There’s real interest, but no clean data or workflow foundation to build on yet.

You need a plan you can trust

You want an objective, prioritized roadmap before committing budget to a big build.
