Find your highest-leverage AI projects, before you build the wrong ones.
The AI Opportunity Map shows where AI creates real business value, and what isn’t worth pursuing.
Most AI projects improve work.Very few improve the business.
Every business has dozens of possible AI projects. Automating the wrong process saves hours while doing nothing for growth, profitability, or customer experience. The challenge isn’t finding opportunities; it’s identifying the few that create disproportionate leverage.
AI Opportunity Map
Know what to build, and what to skip.
Every opportunity on the map is scored the same four ways: what it returns in year one, the hours it frees each year, what it costs to build, and how long until it’s live. The highest-leverage builds rise to the top, and the ones that don’t pay stay on the map, marked, with the reasoning.

The build costs more than it returns until year three, so we recommend keeping this manual.

The return is real, but a wrong price reaching a customer costs more than the hours saved. We recommend fixing the pricing data first, then revisiting.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- What does it cost?
- A one-time fixed fee, from $5,000. The fee is set by your team size and the number of departments you want us to dig into. There's no recurring commitment.
- How long does it take?
- Two to four weeks, start to finish.
- What do you need from us?
- A short kickoff meeting, one questionnaire per department head, one 90-minute working session per department, and a 60-to-90 minute readout. The analysis in between is ours.
- What happens after we get the map?
- The map ends on one build, scoped and ready to start. We build too, so you can hire us for that first project, but the plan is yours to keep and run with whoever you like. Making sure the first build is the right one is the whole point of the map.
