The check

This exists because we turn away roughly 30% of inquiries. Owning an AI system — in your accounts, run by your people, with a log you can read — suits a particular shape of business. Six questions is enough to tell whether that's you, and cheaper than a discovery call for both of us.

FitHow many people work in the business?

Just me, or me plus one 3–15 people 16–99 people 100 or more

Pain clarityWhere does the work pile up?

One place we can name — quoting, follow-ups, reporting, onboarding Two or three known trouble spots It's just generally busy — hard to point anywhere in particular It doesn't, really

Pain clarityHow much time does the team lose to that in a normal week?

A day or more, per person A few hours per person No idea — we've never measured it Barely any

OwnershipWhen you take on new software or systems, what's your instinct?

Own it: our accounts, our data, a log we can read Own the parts that matter, rent the commodity Rent everything — subscriptions are someone else's problem We've never thought about it

OwnershipIf an AI system were installed next month, who would run it?

A named person — they could start tomorrow Someone here could grow into it with training The owner would squeeze it in around everything else Honestly, nobody

FoundationsWhere does your business information actually live?

A tidy stack — CRM, accounting and documents, mostly connected Good tools, but none of them talk to each other Some systems, plus a lot of spreadsheets Spreadsheets, inboxes and people's heads

What “own” means here

Most AI offers are rentals: a platform in someone else's tenancy, a subscription that keeps the leverage, a black box you can't audit. We build the other kind — systems installed into your accounts, run by your people, with a log of everything they did. Cancel us and it keeps running. That model is demanding on both sides, which is why we'd rather you qualify us — and yourself — before anyone books a call.

Rather just talk it through?

The check is a filter, not a wall. Twenty minutes on a free pre-discovery call and we'll tell you plainly where you stand — including if the answer is “not yet.”
