Fixed-price offer / AI diagnostic

How to bring AI into
a traditional-industry company.

If you run operations in manufacturing, distribution, or a similar industrial business, AI pitches are everywhere and useful advice is scarce. This is a fixed-scope diagnostic: where AI can help you, what to ignore, and what to do next — grounded in how your company actually works.

Investment
USD 8,500
Duration
3 weeks

01

Who it’s for

Owners, general managers, and technology leaders in traditional-industry companies who are under pressure to “do something with AI,” but need a concrete read before committing budget, headcount, or a multi-month build.

02

The problem

Generic AI advice doesn’t map to plant floors, logistics, ERP constraints, or teams that weren’t built as software companies. You risk pilots that never leave the slide deck — or tools that create more work than they remove.

03

What’s in scope

Included

  • A structured review of your current operations, systems, and data reality (interviews + documentation you already have)
  • A shortlist of AI use cases ranked by business impact, feasibility, and risk for your context
  • Clear recommendations on build vs. buy, sequencing, and what not to chase
  • One recommended build scoped and priced, plus a written diagnostic you can share with leadership and your technical team

Not included

  • Building or deploying production AI systems
  • Ongoing fractional CTO or platform engineering work (available separately)
  • Vendor selection bake-offs or RFP management unless agreed as a follow-on
  • Open-ended research without a decision-oriented deliverable

04

What you walk away with

A written diagnostic: ranked opportunities, one recommended build scoped and priced, explicit out-of-scope items, and a practical next-step plan. Week 3 ends with a plain-language readout with whoever signs the budget.

05

Three weeks

A fixed calendar, not an open-ended study.

  1. Week 1

    Access and interviews

    Get access to the people and systems that matter. Interviews with operations and IT to understand how work actually gets done, where it breaks, and what decisions you are already trying to make with AI.

  2. Week 2

    Data, systems, and workflows

    Review the data you have, the systems it lives in, and the real workflows on the floor or in the back office — not the process diagram on the wall.

  3. Week 3

    Ranked opportunities and readout

    Deliver ranked opportunities, one recommended build scoped and priced, and a plain-language readout with whoever signs the budget.

06

Investment

USD 8,500

Fixed price for the diagnostic as scoped above. The full fee is credited against a follow-on engagement that starts within 90 days.
