IronbondBook an assessment

The AI Tools Assessment is one 45-minute conversation about how your business runs, then a report on the existing tools that give you the time back.

$999, due at the review. Nothing if we find fewer than five hours.

Marked. In discovery we find the small jobs that keep coming back, and put a number on each one.

Matched. We match each job to a tool that already exists, checked against the vendor's own pages. Nothing is built for you at this stage.

Returned. We subtract the time spent checking the tools' work. What remains is the number in your report, with the calculation beside it.

An illustrative week of 40 hours. Not a client result. 6 hours returned

Six parts and a short list of tools.

Every recommendation names its source, its price, and the arithmetic behind the hours. Estimates are labeled as estimates. A person checks the report before it reaches you.

  1. Part 1

    Executive summary

    Where your time goes, the main bottlenecks, and what the findings add up to.

  2. Part 2

    Effort and impact

    Every idea sorted into quick wins, larger projects, small fixes, and things to skip.

  3. Part 3

    Quick wins

    Two or three actions tied to your real work that you can take this week.

  4. Part 4

    Tool deep-dives

    For each of 3 to 7 tools: the job it does, the cost, the setup, the before and after, and the limits.

  5. Part 5

    Four-day plan

    Accounts and baseline on day one, a first template on day two, a team walkthrough on day three, activation on day four.

  6. Part 6

    Financial impact

    Net hours returned, what those hours are worth, what the software costs, and your options from here.

Four steps. Two of them involve you.

  1. Discovery

    45 minutes with you

    A structured interview about the week you actually have. We ask for real examples and put numbers on what repeats. We record only with your permission.

  2. Research

    Our time

    We pull the recurring jobs out of the transcript and check each candidate tool against the vendor's pages: capabilities, plan limits, price, integrations.

  3. Report

    Our time

    The six-part report and the four-day plan, written and checked by hand before your review call.

  4. Review

    30 minutes with you

    We walk through the findings and you test the assumptions against your own knowledge of the work. If we found the five hours, you pay and the report is yours. Then you choose what to try first.

If we do not identify at least 5 verifiable hours per week in time savings across your workflow, you pay nothing.

Every hour in the report arrives with its calculation, so you can check the count yourself. You pay at the review, once we have walked you through the findings.

Five of forty hours.

Questions owners ask.

What does the $999 include?

A 45-minute discovery interview, 3 to 7 researched tool recommendations, the six-part report with a four-day quick-start plan, and a 30-minute review call. The report is yours to use with or without us.

When do I pay?

At the end of the review call, after we have walked through the findings and the five-hour count. We send a payment link, and the written report follows once it is paid.

What should I bring?

The names of the tools you use now, and one recent example of the recurring work you would most like to improve.

What if you cannot find five hours?

Then you pay nothing. We tell you on the review call, before any payment.

Do you record the call?

Only with your permission, and only so the analysis rests on your own words. We keep to the examples that matter.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Each recommendation is checked for fit with the people who will use it, including how much setup and checking it needs.

How do I start?

Book a time. If you want to see whether the assessment fits first, book the free 15-minute introduction. Payment comes at the end, at the review.

Let's find where your time goes.

Pick a time and tell us the one recurring task you would most like gone. We will say whether the assessment fits.
