The readiness assessment is free for businesses in metro Atlanta and Huntsville. Over two weeks we map every recurring task in your operation, rate each one for automation potential, and hand you a written report naming the three uses worth doing first, what they'll cost, and what to leave alone. You can act on it with or without us.
Software does essentially all of it once set up. Drafting standard emails, summarizing calls, pulling numbers into a weekly report. These are the ones we build first.
Software does the work; you keep the decision. A quote drafted for you to approve, a contract flagged for the clause that changed. Worth building, with a human checkpoint left in.
Needs you in the room: negotiating, hiring, walking the job site. We rate these so you stop wondering, and so nobody sells you an "AI solution" for them.
A task inventory for your business with each task's rating. The three highest-return uses, with the tool we'd use, the setup effort, the monthly cost, and the hours we expect it to return. A plain list of what not to automate. A one-page AI usage policy for your staff. And a written quote for implementation if you want it, which you are under no obligation to accept. Most owners tell us the report alone changed how they run the week.
Why free? Because it is the best way for both of us to find out whether there is real work to do, and because the businesses that go on to implementation or training more than cover the ones that don't.
The one your staff are probably already using on their phones. We move your business onto a Team or Business plan so your data isn't used for training, build the custom GPTs and projects your roles actually need, and write the one-page policy on what stays out of it.
Our first pick for long documents, contracts, proposals, and anything where the writing has to be right. Claude for Work handles a 60-page RFP or a year of email threads without losing the plot, and it is the tool we reach for first when the answer has to be accurate.
If you live in Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams, Copilot is already sitting in your Microsoft 365 license. We switch on what's worth using, set up agents for your recurring tasks, and skip the rest.
For Google Workspace shops: Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Sheets and Meet, plus the automations that tie them together. Same approach: the two or three uses that pay, configured and handed over.
We don't resell any of them and don't take commissions. If you've already picked one, we work in it. If you haven't, the free readiness assessment tells you which fits your business and why. Read our plain-English guide to ChatGPT and Claude for small business.
Before consulting, the founder spent years training AI systems for leading frontier AI labs: teaching models what good output looks like, where they fail, and how they behave on real work. That vantage point is rare among AI consultants, most of whom learned the tools from the same vendor demos you've already seen. It means we know what these systems are reliably good at, what they only look good at, and how to tell the difference before you've spent money on it.
We work in the tools you already run, we don't take commissions on anything we recommend, and the first consultation is free. More about Patwon.
Yes, for businesses in metro Atlanta and the Huntsville area with roughly 5 to 50 people. There is no charge and no obligation; the report is yours to keep.
About three hours in total: an initial conversation, a walkthrough of your operation, and a short review meeting when we deliver the report. We do the rest.
Then the report says so, task by task. Some businesses are mostly hands-on work, and we would rather tell you that than sell you something.
We can do a lighter remote version anywhere. The full on-site assessment is limited to the two metros where we work in person.
