Discovery Call
A 45-minute call on how you actually run the business — the tasks you dread, where work piles up, and what you've already tried.
You know you're falling behind on AI. You just haven't had time to figure out where to start. In one week, I identify the specific tools that can save your business real time, check them for data safety, and implement one selected tool with you.
No hype. No 40-tab tech stack. Just the few tools that move the needle, chosen for how you actually run your business.
A focused, low-effort process. You spend about 75 minutes with me across two calls; I handle the analysis and report in between.
A 45-minute call on how you actually run the business — the tasks you dread, where work piles up, and what you've already tried.
I run your workflow through our AI diagnostic to surface the 5–7 highest-impact opportunities — the patterns a busy owner can't see from the inside.
A priority matrix, specific tool picks with a data-safety check on each, a 4-day quick-start plan, and the dollar value of the hours you'll save.
We walk every recommendation, select one tool, and implement it together during the 30-minute session. More involved builds are scoped separately.
Who it's for: owner-operators and small teams (roughly 10–50 people) running lean, who know AI could give them time back and haven't had a spare hour to figure out how.
Why Aegis: most AI consultants bolt on tools and leave. I recommend AI that saves you time without quietly putting your customer data where it shouldn't be — because cleaning that up later costs far more than doing it right.
The highest-impact opportunities, ranked by impact vs. effort, with the dollar value of the time you'll get back.
Named tools matched to your workflow — each with a data-safety flag so you know exactly what's safe for customer information.
A 4-day quick-start plan plus implementation of one selected tool during your final-delivery session.
If you want help acting on the recommendations, follow-on work is scoped around your priorities, systems, and team.

Once AI is woven through your business, we make it safe to keep: usage visibility, an acceptable-use policy, vendor review, and a 90-day path to practical governance.
That's the whole point of doing this with me. Every tool I recommend gets a data-safety check — whether it trains on your data, where that data goes, and whether it's fit for customer or financial information. You get the time savings without quietly creating exposure you'll pay to unwind later.
We select one recommended tool and implement it together during the 30-minute final-delivery session. More involved configuration, integrations, data migration, or multi-step automations are scoped separately.
No on both. This is built for businesses with little or no AI in place. You walk me through how you work; I translate that into the tools and steps that fit — in plain English.
About 45 minutes for the discovery call and 30 minutes for the final-delivery and tool-setup session. I handle the analysis and the report in between.
You leave with the report, a 4-day quick-start plan, and one selected tool implemented. More involved automation and implementation can be scoped separately, followed by the CLEAR-AI governance track when AI is woven more deeply through your business.
