A 90-Day AI ROI Sprint for mid-market leaders. Turn "AI strategy" into 1–3 live workflows, measurable savings, and a board-ready story. Results guaranteed or you don't pay full price.
Achieved through automation and workflow redesign
Powered by AI copilots that speed up your team's core tasks
Protecting your sensitive data and keeping you compliant
"We lost three bids last quarter to a competitor half our size. Same specs, same quality. They were just faster and 15% cheaper. We couldn't figure out how until we learned they'd automated most of their estimating process six months ago."
— CEO, 200-person manufacturing company
Your competitors aren't announcing their AI wins. They're quietly getting faster and cheaper.
If this sounds familiar, this Sprint was built for you
You're a mid-market leader (owner, CEO, COO, GM, practice leader), and:
Your board, investors, or owners keep asking, "So… what's our AI plan?"
You've seen AI demos, but nothing has made it into daily operations
Your internal teams (IT, ops, finance, HR) are already at capacity
You're allergic to the idea of a 12-month consulting project that ends in a binder and no real change
You don't need more theory. You need live examples and real business impact.
If you're tired of AI vision slides and just want something that actually reduces work, keep reading.
Who This Is (and Isn't) For
Clear criteria so you know if this Sprint makes sense for you.
A great fit if:
- You're a mid-market leader (owner, CEO, COO, GM, practice leader)
- You're under real pressure from a board, owner, or market to show AI progress
- You want measurable results in 90 days, not an endless "innovation initiative"
- You're open to change, but need to protect your team's time and sanity
Not a fit if:
- You're just exploring with no real deadline or pressure to show results
- You want a strategy deck but aren't ready to deploy production systems
- You want to transform everything at once instead of starting with focused, high-ROI wins
- You're not willing to put a named champion on this for 2–3 hours a week
Think you're a fit?
Let's find out in 20 minutes. No pitch, just clarity.
The 90-Day AI ROI Sprint
Turn "we should do something with AI" into 1–3 live workflows, measurable savings, and a board-ready story.
Over 90 days, I work as your fractional AI lead and partner with your leadership team to:
- Find a handful of high-ROI, low-drama AI opportunities
- Build and deploy 1–3 AI workflows in a core process
- Package the results into a board-ready ROI story and 12-month roadmap
You get:
AI Impact Map
A ranked list of where AI should (and should NOT) be used in your business.
Live AI Workflows
1–3 assistants, agents, or automations running in your real processes.
Board-Ready ROI Pack
Usage metrics, dollar impact, and a 12-month AI roadmap you can defend.
Not Another AI Strategy Project
You've seen how these usually go. This is different.
Traditional AI Consulting
- 6-12 month discovery phase
- Ends with a strategy deck
- Pilots that never go live
- Scope creep and cost overruns
- Your team does the heavy lifting
The 90-Day Sprint
- Live workflows in 90 days
- Ends with measurable ROI
- 1-3 tools your team actually uses
- Fixed scope, guaranteed outcomes
- I do the heavy lifting
Different approach. Actual results.
The Process
How the Sprint Works
A clear, 3-phase process that delivers live workflows, measurable impact, and a roadmap you can actually use.
Impact Triage
We figure out where AI can actually move the needle. Quick interviews with leaders, review of core workflows, and scoring opportunities by impact and feasibility.
AI Impact Map for your leadership team
Pilot Build
We design and ship real AI workflows your people actually use. Connect AI tools to your existing systems, train your team, and iterate until adoption sticks.
Live AI workflows using your real data
ROI & Roadmap
We measure impact and turn it into a story for your board. Real metrics—hours saved, errors avoided—plus a clear ROI model and concrete next steps.
Board-ready ROI pack and roadmap
What happens after 90 days?
You own the workflows, the roadmap, and the choice. Scale with me, hand off to your team, or pause and assess. No long-term contracts. No vendor lock-in.
Where AI Is Actually Working
Every engagement is tailored to your business, but most successful pilots fall into proven patterns. Here's what's working for my clients.
Customer & Revenue-Facing
- Email assistant that drafts responses to common customer questions
- Lead / inquiry triage that routes requests to the right team faster
- Proposal or quote assistant that assembles drafts from your existing templates
Operations & Internal Efficiency
- Order-entry copilot that reads emails and drafts structured orders
- Internal "How do we do X?" assistant trained on your SOPs and documentation
- Task summarizers and note-takers for recurring meetings and service calls
Finance / Admin Support
- Collections assistant that drafts and logs follow-up messages
- Reporting copilot that assembles recurring reports from multiple systems
- Invoice / PO summarizer that flags exceptions or anomalies
The goal isn't to put AI everywhere. It's to target one or two processes where 10–30% of the work can realistically be automated or accelerated.
From Big Tech to Production Systems That Deliver
Big Tech Experience. Mid-Market Results.
After 10+ years building AI systems for Amazon, Salesforce, Google, and the NFL, I saw the same pattern: mid-market leaders getting sold flashy demos that never deliver real ROI.
So I built a different approach. Start with a 2–3 hour Impact Triage that identifies where AI will actually cut costs 20–40%. If I can't find clear ROI, I'll tell you, and you won't waste money on implementation. If I do find it, I ship production systems in 90 days that your team actually uses.
Past Experience
Still on the fence? Let's be honest about the usual objections.
The concerns I hear most often from mid-market leaders, and my direct responses.
The data tells a different story. When we analyzed leaders actually seeing AI gains, 96% are reinvesting those gains—expanding capabilities, building new products, and investing in R&D.
Skin in the Game
Most AI projects fail because no one's accountable for results. I am.
Value First
We agree on real outcomes before building: cost reduction, time savings, measurable improvements. Not demo metrics.
3× ROI Target
Every engagement is designed to deliver at least 3× annualized return. If the math doesn't add up, I adjust my fees.
Full-Stack ROI
Hard savings, capacity unlocked, efficiency gains, risk reduction—all count toward the 3× target.
Capability Transfer
Your team learns to extend and sustain value long after the engagement ends. No vendor lock-in.
The 3× Guarantee
Together, we model a portfolio of AI initiatives targeting 3× annualized ROI. If the numbers don't support it, I adjust my fees until they do.
