Step 1

AI Opportunity Snapshot

First paid step · Prioritize before committing to scope

What you receive

  • AI Opportunity Priority Report — top 3 ranked opportunities with rationale
  • Workflow Fit Assessment — which workflows are ready vs. need foundation first
  • Governance Gap Summary — missing policy, evidence, and documentation elements
  • Tool Fit Review — current tools evaluated against advisory workflow needs
  • 30-day Next Step Plan — one specific action per priority area
  • Scored output with directional confidence ratings, not guarantees

AI Opportunity Snapshot produces directional prioritization. It does not guarantee AI outcomes, revenue improvement, or compliance readiness.

Step 2

Diagnostic Sprint

Evidence validation · Stakeholder interviews · Prioritized roadmap
$7,500+3–4 weeks

A deep 8-layer diagnostic that validates stakeholder evidence, surfaces governance exposure, and produces a firm-specific AI roadmap. Used when a firm needs more than a directional read — they need evidence-validated priorities before implementation begins.

What you receive

  • 8-layer diagnostic — strategy, governance, workflow, tool, adoption, measurement
  • Stakeholder evidence validation — interviews, documentation review, gap analysis
  • Governance Risk Summary — regulatory exposure and documentation gaps
  • Workflow Priority Map — ranked by readiness and estimated impact
  • 90-day prioritized AI roadmap with owners and evidence requirements
  • Next engagement recommendation with specific rationale

Diagnostic Sprint findings are based on structured intake and stakeholder interviews. Recommendations are directional — not a guarantee of implementation outcomes or regulatory compliance.

Step 3

Governance & Compliance Sprint

AI policy · Tool inventory · Exam readiness · Evidence pack
$8,000–$10,0004–5 weeks

A 3-week sprint that builds the AI governance infrastructure a regulator or examiner would expect. Produces a scored evidence pack, draft supervisory procedures, and a Governance Evidence Score (GES) across 5 dimensions.

What you receive

  • AI Tool Inventory — full register with vendor data policies and approval status
  • Workflow Risk Classification — HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW with review gate requirements
  • Draft Supervisory Procedures — counsel review required before adoption
  • Evidence Pack — print-ready documentation with attestation template
  • Exam Readiness Simulator — 15 examiner-style questions rated R/Y/G
  • Governance Evidence Score (GES) — 0–100 across 5 governance dimensions
  • 10-page Final Sprint Report — delivered as a tokenized client URL

Governance Sprint does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee examination readiness or regulatory compliance. All supervisory procedure language requires review and adoption by the firm's compliance counsel before use.

Operating Sprints

Growth Accelerator · Operations & Capacity Sprint · AI Compliance Engagement
$18,500–$32,5006–8 weeks

Implementation-grade engagements that build an AI operating system in a specific domain — growth, operations, or AI compliance. Each sprint is scoped after the diagnostic validates the priority and the firm has the foundation to build.

Growth Accelerator delivers

  • Client DNA Analysis — best-client patterns and relationship themes
  • Growth Leakage findings — follow-up, referral, pipeline gaps
  • Advisor Voice rules — reviewed prompt guidance for approved messaging
  • 30/60/90 Growth Plan with owners and evidence requirements

Operations & Capacity Sprint delivers

  • Service Model strain and capacity forecast findings
  • Client Experience Digital Twin — friction and breakdown mapping
  • Workflow bottleneck map with owner and handoff gaps
  • 30/60/90 Operations Plan with measurement cadence

Operating Sprints produce advisor-reviewed hypotheses and workflow plans. They do not guarantee AUM growth, staffing reduction, margin improvement, or compliance outcomes.

Advisor Retainer

Monthly execution support · Governance cadence · Adoption tracking
$2,500–$10,000/moMonthly

Ongoing monthly support that keeps AI workflows, governance cadence, and measurement discipline moving after the roadmap is built. Prevents the plan from stalling when owners are busy and decisions wait too long.

What you receive each month

  • Monthly priority review and decision support
  • Workflow adoption review and blocker tracking
  • Prompt, policy, vendor, and governance support within scope
  • Monthly value narrative — measurable, directional, and qualitative progress
  • Quarterly AI review with next-quarter priorities
