A short document you can act on the week you get it.
Five opportunities, ranked. The first is the one to pilot.
| # | Opportunity | Risk | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Supplier invoice intake | Low | Pilot first |
| 02 | Claims-status calls | Medium | Quarter 2 |
| 03 | Order entry from email | Low | Quarter 2 |

Sample only. Not a client result.
Two weeks, three steps.
Workshop and interviews
Week 1: a 2-hour discovery workshop, 3–5 stakeholder interviews, remote, and a systems and data questionnaire.
Sizing
Week 2: we size each opportunity by ROI and effort, and write it up.
Leadership readout
60–90 minutes with the people who will decide. You leave with the ranked list and one costed pilot proposal.
We quote the Ignition fee on the first call.
The full fee is credited to the pilot if you go ahead within 90 days.
Do we need clean data first?
No. Part of Ignition is finding out what your data can support today, and what it takes to get the rest. A use case that needs a data cleanup is ranked that way rather than quietly failing later.
Is this tied to a vendor?
No, we're tech-agnostic. We recommend what fits the work and the systems you already run, and we take no vendor money.
What happens after?
A pilot of the top-ranked opportunity starts from $15K. Go-live is about 4–8 weeks from kickoff, the time from kickoff to a live workflow. The Ignition fee is credited if you sign the pilot within 90 days.
How is this different from the free AI value check?
The free AI value check is instant and self-serve: up to fourteen questions, including five on governance, then a readiness score, a time-saved range, a separate business-impact range where a cited rate applies, and a governance gap, on screen before any email. A work email sends the written report. Ignition is two weeks, with interviews, a readiness scorecard and a costed pilot proposal.
What does Ignition cost?
Ignition is a two-week fixed fee. We do not publish the Ignition price on the site. A pilot of one workflow starts from $15K, with go-live about 4–8 weeks from kickoff. Implementations are a rough order of magnitude of about $25K–$120K over about 6–10 weeks. That range is not a quote.

In under three minutes. A few questions on the work, then five on how you run AI. You see the value range and a readiness score before any email.
