Foundation Sprint: Clarity and Quick Wins in 4 Weeks
A structured 4-week engagement that assesses your AI maturity, identifies the workflows costing you the most time and money, and implements your first AI-powered automations \u2014 so you see results before the invoice lands.
The Problem This Solves
You know AI can help your business. You’ve read the articles, sat through the webinars, maybe even tried a tool or two. But you still don’t have a clear picture of where to start, what to prioritize, or what “good” actually looks like for a company your size.
Meanwhile, your team is spending 15–25 hours per week on tasks that should take minutes. Your customer data lives in three different places. Your marketing runs on manual outreach and hope.
The Foundation Sprint fixes the clarity problem first — then proves the value with real implementations you can measure.
What You Get
- AI Maturity AssessmentA detailed evaluation of your operations, marketing, and digital systems against our four-stage maturity framework. You’ll know exactly where you stand and why.
- Workflow AuditWe map your top 10–15 workflows and identify the 3–5 with the highest automation ROI based on time cost, error rate, and business impact.
- 2–3 Implemented AutomationsNot recommendations. Working automations deployed in your existing tools — saving measurable hours from week one.
- Prioritized RoadmapA 90-day action plan showing what to tackle next, in what order, with expected ROI for each initiative. This becomes your playbook whether you continue with us or execute internally.
- Executive SummaryA board-ready document summarizing findings, completed work, and recommended next steps. Built for the person who has to explain this to stakeholders.

How the 4 Weeks Break Down
Week 1: Discovery + Assessment
Stakeholder interviews, systems audit, and AI maturity evaluation. We map your current state across operations, marketing, and digital.
Week 2: Workflow Mapping + Prioritization
We document your key workflows, score them for automation potential, and select the 2–3 highest-ROI candidates.
Week 3: Implementation
We build and deploy your first automations in your existing tools. No new platforms. No rip-and-replace.
Week 4: Documentation + Handoff
Executive summary, prioritized roadmap, and team walkthroughs. You leave with everything documented and a clear plan forward.
Who This Is For
This is for you if:
- You’re doing $1M–$15M in revenue and growing
- Your team is 5–75 people
- You suspect AI can help but don’t know where to start
- You want to see results before committing to a larger engagement
- You need a clear, documented plan you can take to your leadership team
This is NOT for you if:
- You want a year-long consulting engagement before anything gets implemented
- You’re looking for someone to build a chatbot
- Your company has fewer than 5 employees (the ROI math doesn’t work yet)
- You’re not willing to invest time in the discovery process
Investment
Foundation Sprint pricing is discussed on your strategy call because scope varies by company complexity, number of locations, and systems in play.
