FAQ

Common questions.

Do you work with startups?

Yes, but we're selective. Seed-stage companies usually start with the Playbook or a Level 1 workshop. Series A+ with dedicated ops budgets are good fits for orchestration projects or retainers.

What industries do you specialize in?

Professional services (law, accounting, consulting), agencies, and B2B SaaS. We've found these have the highest ROI from AI adoption due to their heavy document and communication workflows.

Can I upgrade from one tier to another?

Absolutely. The Playbook fee is credited toward any workshop or project within 90 days. Workshop clients often graduate to orchestration projects. It's designed as a ladder.

What's your availability?

Retainers are limited—we cap at 3 active retainer clients to maintain quality. Projects are booked 2-4 weeks out. Workshops can usually be scheduled within 2 weeks.

Do you offer refunds?

The Playbook has a 30-day refund policy if you haven't downloaded the materials. For services, we offer a satisfaction guarantee on the first milestone—if we can't find $50K+ in annual savings in your audit, you don't pay.

Not sure where to start?

The free AI Readiness Audit takes 5 minutes and shows you exactly where AI can help. No commitment, no sales pitch.
