Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your services cost?

Projects typically start at $5,000 for AI Readiness Assessments. Quick-win pilot projects range from $8,000-$15,000 depending on complexity. Strategy workshops start at $3,000. I offer flexible payment plans and month-to-month arrangements—no long-term contracts required.

How long does a typical project take?

AI Readiness Assessments: 2-3 weeks. Pilot projects: 4-6 weeks. Strategy workshops can be delivered in a single day or spread over multiple sessions. Unlike big consulting firms that take 6-12 months, I focus on delivering rapid, actionable results.

Do I need technical expertise to work with you?

Not at all! I specialize in working with non-technical business owners. I explain everything in plain English and handle all the technical implementation. Your job is to focus on your business goals—I'll handle the AI complexity.

What if AI doesn't work for my business?

That's exactly why I start with an AI Readiness Assessment. I'll be honest if AI isn't the right fit or if the timing isn't optimal. I'd rather tell you "not yet" than take your money for something that won't deliver ROI. For pilot projects, you can cancel within the first 2 weeks if you're not satisfied.

What industries do you work with?

I work with SMBs across manufacturing, professional services, retail, healthcare, finance, and more. My 40+ years in IT means I've seen diverse business challenges. The AI strategies I develop are customized to your specific industry and business model.

How is this different from using ChatGPT myself?

ChatGPT is a tool—like having a hammer. I provide the blueprint, the expertise to use the right tools for your specific needs, custom implementation, and integration with your existing systems. Plus, I bring 40+ years of IT strategy to ensure AI actually solves your business problems, not just creates cool demos.

Do you offer ongoing support after implementation?

Yes! I offer flexible monthly retainer arrangements for ongoing support, optimization, and training. Many clients start with a pilot project, then transition to a monthly arrangement as they scale their AI usage. No long-term commitments—month-to-month only.

What if I'm not sure where to start?

Perfect—that's exactly what the free consultation is for. We'll discuss your business challenges, and I'll give you honest feedback on whether AI can help and what the best first step would be. No pressure, no sales pitch—just practical guidance.
