30–45 days, then a monthly cadence

The Standard Install

Scoped in the assessmentInstall: ~30–45 days with weekly on-site working sessions · Cadence: monthly after

The core engagement, priced as a project against your measured savings — not by the hour. Thirty to forty-five days: brain stood up, champions trained, first process automated and proven. Then an optional monthly cadence keeps it compounding.

  • The Standard Install: brain, champions, first skill built with your operators in the room
  • Baseline before build — every result is measured and defensible
  • Unattended agent runs that never bill an hour
  • Champion handoff test: your people extend the system without me
  • Monthly cadence after: measurement review, an owner one-pager, the next process
  • Project-priced against measured savings, scoped in the assessment

The Applied AI Cohort

$5k / company6 weeks · 2 seats per company

The method, taught — your champion does the building, on your hours, with generic templates and group pace. Leave with a starter brain and a first document-in, document-out automation your own person built. For deep system integration and a measured production result, that is the Standard Install — and cohort graduates get $2,500 credited toward one within 90 days.

  • Two seats per company — a leader and a champion
  • Six 2-hour group sessions (in-person West Michigan or live remote)
  • Three private 45-minute working calls
  • Async office hours
  • The full toolkit: brain template, skill templates, runbook
  • Outcome: a starter brain plus a first automation your champion built themselves
  • $2,500 credited toward a Standard Install within 90 days of graduating
