What does the consultation cost?

$500. That covers the 90-minute call, a detailed AI framework plan delivered by the next business day, and a check-in call after 30 days.

How is this different from a discovery call?

A discovery call is a free, short chat about your company, your situation and the ways we can help, whether that's a consultation, on-site training or a custom build. The consultation is the working session itself: we audit where you are and deliver your AI framework plan. It's also the required first step for our two-day on-site training.

Both co-founders, Freeman LaFleur and Matt Jones. One runs the engineering side, the other runs the business side, so the plan covers both what to build and how your team will adopt it.

What framework is the plan built on?

The Deployment Framework, the same one our courses teach: set an aim, put guardrails in place, find the bottleneck that holds it back, improve the work before you build anything, and own what runs. We use the audit to fill it in for your company.

Will you try to sell me something?

No. It's a paid engagement, so the call is spent on your question. If the answer turns out to be work we do, we'll say so once and leave it there.

Who should be on the call?

Whoever owns the decision, plus anyone who'd have to implement it. Two to four people works best. More than that and it becomes a presentation rather than a working session.

What if we need more than 90 minutes?

Most questions fit. If yours clearly won't, say so when you book and we'll tell you honestly whether a consultation is the right format or whether you need a proper engagement.

Do I need a consultation before the on-site training?

Yes. The consultation is the required first step for the two-day on-site audit and workshop. It's where we learn your operations, bottlenecks, and current AI usage, so the two days are built around your company.

Can the fee go toward a larger engagement?

Yes. If you go on to book the on-site training or a custom build within 60 days, the consultation fee comes off the first invoice.

On the call

First, a clear picture of where you are.

Before we recommend anything, we audit three things with you. Everything in your plan comes from what we learn here.

Where you are now

How AI is used across the business today: which tools, which teams, what's working, what isn't, and what nobody is sure is allowed.

Your bottlenecks

Where work gets stuck, waits on one person, or gets done twice, and what that is costing you.

Your goals

What you want AI to do for the business, and how you'll know it's working.

Who you'll meet

Freeman LaFleur

Co-founder · Chief Deployment Engineer

Runs the technical side of every engagement: platform setup, Claude Code and Codex onboarding, and the skills, automations and internal tools a team leaves with.

Matt Jones

Co-founder · Managing Partner

Runs the business and the client side: scoping, discovery calls, the two-day training program, and making sure what gets built is still in use a quarter after we leave.

Meet the team

The framework

Your plan follows the Deployment Framework.

It's the same framework our courses teach. After the call we fill it in for your company, so the plan covers leadership, policy and every team, not just tools.

Step 1
Set the aim
One measurable goal for AI, where the freed time goes, and the promises that make it safe for your team to be honest.
Step 2
Put the guardrails in place
Approved tools, which data goes where, an output standard, spending limits, and what to do when something goes wrong.
Step 3
See what's already running
The AI your team already uses, brought into the open, with a keep, replace or retire call on each.
Step 4
Find the bottleneck
The one step holding the business back, with a value on it and a written prediction of what fixing it is worth.
Step 5
Improve the work
Redesign the work and train people on it, managers first, using the tools you already have.
Step 6
Decide what to build
Build only what improving can't fix: custom tools, skills and automations, each with a one-page case.
Step 7
Own what runs
A named owner and backup for everything that runs, an off switch, and review dates.
Step 8
Measure and decide
At day 90, score the result against the prediction, then name the next bottleneck and go again.

What people bring

Four conversations we have most often.

You don't need to fit one of these. They're here to show the altitude: a specific decision with real consequences, not a general briefing on AI.

Your team is running wild with AI

People are using whatever they found, in whatever way they invented, with no shared standard. You want it wrangled into something coherent before it becomes a liability, without killing the momentum that got you here.

You're about to give everyone access

Licenses are approved and you get one chance to do the rollout properly. What to standardize on, who gets access first, what to have in place before day one, and what actually drives adoption past the first two weeks.

You need to know what compliance requires

You handle regulated data and the honest answer to "can we use this?" is nobody's sure. What HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2 or FINRA actually require of AI use in your workflows, and where the real exposure sits.

You want a second opinion on a plan

You've got a roadmap, a vendor proposal or a build-versus-buy decision, and you want someone who does this weekly to tell you where it breaks.

What's included

Ninety minutes, prepared for. Then a plan for your whole team.

We spend the call auditing where you are. By the next business day you get a detailed plan like the one on the right, built on the framework and filled in from your audit. After 30 days we check in on a follow-up call.

AI plan for a 40-person agency

Example

Where you are: ChatGPT Team licenses for six months. Three heavy users, a Slack channel of prompts, no shared standard. Legal has asked what client data is allowed in.
Aim: Cut proposal turnaround from five days to two, with the freed hours going back into client work.
Bottleneck: Pricing review. Every proposal waits two to three days on one director.
Guardrails: Standardize on ChatGPT Team, plus Claude Code for the four engineers. No client data outside the approved list. Usage policy owned by ops.
Sequence: 01Publish the guardrails and usage policy this week, with a named owner.
02Train account managers to draft proposals and pricing notes with the approved tools.
03Build a pricing-review assistant only if improving the step doesn't clear the queue.
Own & measure: An owner and backup for each workflow. Check-in call at day 30. Score the result against the aim at day 90.
