Two weeks inside your business. About three hours of your time. You leave with a ranked 90-day plan showing the payback math on every recommendation — plus the governance file most owners don’t know they need until an insurer, a lawyer, or a big customer asks for it. From $3,500 by company size — and Ontario’s DMAP grant can cover up to half.
All advice vetted by a human — always.
Every opportunity scored on time-to-value, complexity, and payback in hours or dollars per month — your numbers, measured on-site, not industry averages. Written so any competent builder can execute it: us, someone else, or your own team.
Every AI tool actually in use (most owners discover two or three nobody approved), who owns it, what data it touches, and whether your data trains someone else’s model. Plus a team proficiency baseline, seat by seat.
AI and privacy risks first, in plain language, with a recommended response for each — a working document you can hand your lawyer, your insurer, or an auditor.
Every AI tool in or proposed for your stack, scored: business-tier no-training terms, where your data lives, certifications, retention. Pass / flag / fail.
Together, that’s what enterprises call an AI control plane — capability they pay six figures to build. This is the Main Street version, scoped for a working owner, useful the day it lands.
| Your total headcount | Fixed fee | With DMAP (up to 50%) |
|---|---|---|
| Solo – 9 | $3,500 | as low as $1,750 |
| 10 – 24 | $5,000 | as low as $2,500 |
| 25 – 50 | $7,500 | as low as $3,750 |
Did the Quick Start first? Half that fee ($1,250) comes off too, within 90 days.
Fixed by company size: $3,500 (solo to 9 staff), $5,000 (10-24), $7,500 (25-50). Ontario's DMAP grant can cover up to half for eligible businesses — netting as low as $1,750 — and half of a prior Quick Start fee credits as well. No hourly meters, no change orders.
No. They solve different problems: the Quick Start proves AI works in your shop with one live agent; the Diagnostic maps everything and produces the funded 90-day plan. Many clients start with the Diagnostic directly — especially when DMAP eligibility makes it the cheaper first step.
Then the report says so, in writing — what we examined and why it didn't clear the bar. You keep the baseline measurements, the inventory, and the risk register either way. We'd rather lose a build than sell one that shouldn't exist.
Ontario's Digital Modernization and Adoption Plan matches up to 50% of an eligible adoption plan (max $15,000), run through the Ontario Centre of Innovation's Digital Competence Centre. It reimburses the business after the plan is delivered by an approved consultant. We check your eligibility free, before you sign anything — and program rules bar the plan-writer from being the paid builder, which protects you.
The 90-day plan is yours: build it with us (one outcome sprint at a time), with any vendor, or in-house. There is no obligation past the readout — the plan is written so all three paths work.
