AI Diagnostic Journey

    In 30–45 minutes, you'll understand:

    Where AI can create leverage in your business

    What not to automate

    Which 1–2 use cases are worth funding this year

    Most companies fail with AI because they skip diagnosis. This structured approach gives you answers with confidence.

    What are you trying to figure out right now?

    Choose your path based on your most pressing question

    "Where AI could actually help my business"

    Start with Step 1: AI Readiness to understand if you're early, mid, or late compared to peers.

    "What we could automate safely this year"

    Jump to Step 2: Constraint & ROI Identification to find where time is being wasted.

    "Why our AI initiatives keep stalling"

    Go to Step 3: Execution Reality Check to understand what breaks when trying to scale.

    Or follow the complete diagnostic journey below for full clarity

    Step 1: AI Readiness / Maturity

    "Is my company even ready for this?"

    Why this step matters:

    Most companies fail with AI because they skip this step. Understanding your maturity level helps you avoid costly mistakes and set realistic expectations.

    5 minutes
    Ideal for: Companies exploring AI but unsure where they stand

    What Your Results Usually Mean

    If you scored 0-40%:

    You're in the early stage. Focus on data infrastructure and quick wins before attempting complex AI projects.

    If you scored 41-70%:

    You're mid-stage and ready for targeted automation. Companies at your level typically see 5-10× capacity gains from 1-2 well-chosen projects.

    If you scored 71-100%:

    You're advanced and ready for complex AI initiatives. Your challenge is execution and scaling, not capability.

    Next step: Understand where AI can create the most value in your specific business.

    Step 2: Constraint & ROI Identification

    "Where is time actually being wasted?"

    Why this step matters:

    AI doesn't create ROI. Constraint removal does. This step helps you find the 1-2 bottlenecks that are silently capping your growth.

    Constraint Identifier

    Identify the biggest bottlenecks limiting your organization's performance and get actionable recommendations.

    What You'll Get:

    • Discover your primary constraint
    • Ranked analysis of all bottlenecks
    • Theory of Constraints-based approach
    • Specific action steps to address issues

    What You'll Get:

    • Calculate your annual savings
    • See accuracy comparison (80% vs 99%)
    • Time savings analysis (1hr vs 10min)
    • ROI timeline estimation
    3 minutes

    What Your Results Usually Mean

    If your constraint is in Operations:

    Companies with your profile typically have 1-2 automations that unlock 5-10× capacity. Document processing and workflow automation are often quick wins.

    If your constraint is in Data/Systems:

    AI won't help until you fix the underlying infrastructure. Most teams underestimate implementation complexity by 3-5×.

    If your constraint is in People/Skills:

    Technology isn't your blocker—adoption is. Start with augmentation (AI-assisted work) rather than full automation.

    Next step: Understand what it actually takes to execute on these opportunities.

    Step 3: Execution Reality Check

    "What breaks when we try to scale?"

    Why this step matters:

    This is where 90% of AI initiatives stall. Understanding execution feasibility helps you choose the right approach and avoid getting stuck in analysis paralysis.

    What You'll Get:

    • Detailed deliverables comparison
    • Timeline breakdown for each approach
    • ROI timeline analysis
    • Understand true value differences

    What Your Results Usually Mean

    If you need strategy and direction:

    Traditional consulting might make sense for early-stage companies that need to build capability. But be prepared for 6-12 month timelines before seeing value.

    If you need actual execution:

    Companies that succeed with AI focus on implementation over strategy. Fractional teams deliver working solutions in weeks, not months.

    If you're unsure:

    Start small. Pilot one automation with clear ROI metrics. Scale what works, kill what doesn't.

    You've completed the diagnostic journey. Now it's time to turn insights into action.

    Turn Your Insights Into Action

    The tools give you data. But what does it mean for your business? And what should you do next?

    Here's what companies at your stage typically experience: You've identified your constraints. You see the potential ROI. But you're uncertain about which 1-2 initiatives are actually worth funding—and which approach will work for your specific situation.

    Why This Works

    You've already invested 30-45 minutes in diagnosis. The meeting is just interpretation—not persuasion.
