Step 1 of 4

The AI Assessment: a research job, not a sales call.

A 60-minute look at where your week actually goes, then a plain-English plan for getting the time back. If it doesn’t find you five hours a week, you get the fee back — so the worst case is a free conversation about your business.

Who it is for

Built for owners whose own time is the bottleneck.

If you still touch the quotes, the invoices and the follow-up yourself, the constraint on the business is your week. The assessment starts there: not with what AI can do in general, but with where your hours actually go.

Owner-run businesses

Anywhere from just you up to about twenty staff, where the owner is still the one chasing the paperwork at nine in the evening. That is the week we go looking through.

Trades and field service

Electrical, plumbing, roofing, groundworks, landscaping, cleaning. Quotes going out late and missed calls cost real jobs, and both are fixable without changing how you work on site.

Practices and professional firms

Accountants, bookkeepers, clinics, property services. Repetitive document work and client back-and-forth eat the chargeable hours, and that is exactly the kind of work AI is good at.

Teams already dabbling in AI

Two people use ChatGPT, nobody agrees on how, and none of it is written down. The assessment turns scattered use into a short list of tools worth standardising on.

What you get

The plan is yours, whether we build it or not.

The AI Assessment

€250paid when you book

€250 covers the 60 minutes with you and the research behind it, roughly what five wasted hours cost you once. You get a look at where your week actually goes, then every time drain matched to an off-the-shelf tool, right-sized for a business your size and priced out in hours and euro.

A 60-minute AI Assessment about your week. We ask, you talk, we pitch nothing
A plain-English report: your time drains, the tool that fixes each one, the cost and the hours back
Your monthly return worked out in real numbers, not percentages
A four-day quick start, one small action a day, so a busy week is not a reason to stall
A review call to go through it recommendation by recommendation, so nothing lands as jargon
The tools stay in your name. Run the plan yourself and we have still done our job

If the assessment does not find you at least five hours a week, you pay nothing. Separately: if you go on to have us build something, your assessment fee comes off the price in full.

1The AI Assessment

The paid front door. Everything here is covered by the 5-hour guarantee.

Find 5 hours a week or your money back

You pick a slot and pay a fixed one-off fee. That's the only commitment. If the assessment doesn't find you at least five hours a week, you get it all back, so the worst case is a free 60-minute conversation about your business.

We spend 60 minutes on where your week actually goes. We ask, you talk, and we don't pitch anything. The point is to surface the tasks that eat your time and the ones you'd happily never do again.

The fork
If AI could fix one thing in your business in the next 30 days, would you want it to make you more money, give you back hours, or make your customers happier?
Repetition
What is the task you or your team repeat most often every week?
Friction
Where do things most often slow down, get stuck, or fall through the cracks?
Quantify
How many hours a week does that eat, and who is doing it?
Magic wand
If that one thing ran itself, what would change for you?
The maths
And to put a figure on it: what is an hour of your time worth, how many hours a week are going to waste, and how many people are on the team?

€ / hr Hrs / wk Headcount

Your time drains, the tools that fix them, and what you get back

We take the call away and work through it properly: every pain point pulled out, then off-the-shelf AI tools researched and matched to each one. We right-size every pick to your business, so a four-person team isn't sold enterprise software it doesn't need.

A short, plain-language plan arrives before we next speak: your main time drains, the tools that fix them, and the hours and money you get back. It ends with a 4-day quick start, one small action a day, so an overwhelmed week isn't a reason to stall.

Then we go through the report together, recommendation by recommendation. You decide what's most urgent, and whether you want to run with it yourself or have us build it. If we're done here, you still walk away with a plan worth more than you paid.

We arrange the review call with you

Why us

We do the research ourselves, and there is a lot of it.

Fifteen tools looked at for every one we recommend

Your report names three to six quick wins. For each one we take the five strongest candidates from three separate AI tool directories, compare all fifteen, and keep the one that fits a business your size. That is why the shortlist that reaches you is short.

Off the shelf first, and sized to your headcount

We use Claude and ChatGPT every working day, and neither one is the answer to most of what we find. Most of what an Irish small business needs already exists for the price of a phone bill, so we reach for that before we propose building anything, and we only quote a build when the sums say no tool will do.

Two of us, and no one in the middle

Douglas and Murilo run this between them. The person on your call is the person writing your report, so nothing you said has to survive being turned into a brief for somebody else.

You can size us up before you spend anything

We are in Cork and we run a free AI meetup here every month. Come to one, ask us the awkward questions in a room, and decide afterwards. Details on the meetup page.

Questions

The AI Assessment, answered.

An in-depth assessment of how your week runs, for €250. It is a 60-minute AI Assessment, then the research done away from you, then a short plain-English report and a review call to walk through it. You finish with a named tool for each of your main time drains, what each costs, and a four-day plan to start.

Then you get every cent back. That is the whole guarantee, and it is why the worst case here is a free 60-minute conversation about your business. Separately from the guarantee: if you go on to have us build something, your assessment fee comes off that price in full.

Your side of it is about two hours: 60 minutes on the assessment, the report to read, and the review call. The research in between is ours to do. The report reaches you before the second call so you are never being read at down a screen share.

No. You talk about your business the way you would explain it to a friend. The technical part is our job, the report is written in plain language, and nothing in it assumes you have an IT person.

The assessment recommends and shows you how, with a four-day plan you can follow yourself. If you would rather have it done, that is a build, and the assessment fee comes off it. Plenty of businesses do the quick wins themselves and bring us back for the bigger pieces.

Usually yes. A chat window is a small slice of what is out there, and one person using it well is not the same as the business using it. The assessment looks at your actual workflows and finds the tools and automations that do the repetitive work for you, which is where the hours come back.

It stays between us and it is not used to train anything. We only need enough to understand how the week runs, so there is rarely any reason for us to see customer data at all. If a recommendation would involve personal data, the report says so and says what that means under GDPR.

That is a fine outcome and it happens. There is no retainer to sign and nothing renews. The tools go in your name, the plan is yours, and if you never speak to us again you are still ahead of where you started.

Pick a slot for the AI Assessment and pay the €250 when you book. That is the only commitment, and the guarantee covers the rest. If you would rather talk first, the free 30-minute Discovery Call costs nothing — and if it turns out we are not the right fit for what you need, we will say so on the call rather than take the fee.

Start here

Tell us where the week goes, and we will tell you what to do about it.

Book the assessment, talk us through a normal week, and you will have a plan with real numbers on it. If we cannot find you five hours, you pay nothing, so the worst outcome is 60 minutes spent thinking clearly about your own business.

€250 Five hours a week or you pay nothing

Tell us where the time goes.

Five questions, about two minutes. Then pick a time for your AI Assessment and pay the €250 when you book. We will have read your answers before the 60 minutes start, so none of the hour goes on catching up.

What would you want fixed first?

Two of the five are the ones we really need. Answer the rest if you have a minute: the more we know before the assessment, the more of the hour we can spend on your business.
