A full path of Discovery Sprint, 30-day Launchpad, and six months of AI Evolution comes to roughly $6,500 across seven months, with the Discovery fee credited toward Launchpad. Additional workflow or agent builds beyond that scope are quoted separately, typically $1,000 to $2,000.

Discovery Sprint

One structured interview to map where AI fits. Written deliverables follow, with a short call to review your next steps together.

Start Here

A single 30-minute structured interview. I map how work actually moves through your business, where it stalls, and which tasks are worth handing to software. You get two written deliverables and a clear view of your next step.

What is included
  • · Structured intake interview to surface workflow gaps and opportunities
  • · Workflow mapping and gap analysis
  • · AI opportunity scoring by function
  • · AI Readiness Review, a full assessment of where your current AI adoption stands
  • · AI Adoption Roadmap, a phased 90-day plan for what to do next

The full $997 credits toward Launchpad when you start within 90 days. Continue with me and Discovery is effectively included.

Best for
  • · Businesses exploring AI for the first time
  • · Teams that tried AI tools and stalled
  • · Owners who want a trusted second opinion before they invest

Launchpad

Turn the roadmap into working systems. Tools deployed, team trained, AI in daily use.

Get Started

Launchpad has a clear finish line. Both tiers include a full Discovery Sprint and run on the same structure. The 90-day option gives you three times the working sessions and more room to build.

What is included
  • · A full Discovery Sprint included in the engagement
  • · Two 45-minute working sessions per 30 days. Two sessions on the 30-day tier, six on the 90-day tier
  • · Three to seven documented workflows built with you and handed off
  • · AI tool deployment and standardization across your team
  • · An acceptable use policy template, written for a business your size
  • · Training materials for your team, covering the tools you actually adopt
  • · Unlimited messaging support for the full active term
Best for
  • · Businesses ready to commit
  • · Teams that need structure and standardization
  • · Owners who want the work built alongside them, not handed over as a report

AI Evolution

Keep what Launchpad built working, and improving, as the tools evolve.

Stay Current

AI tools change monthly, and a workflow built in March often deserves a tune-up by June. AI Evolution keeps yours current and gives you someone to ask before you make a decision. You get a strategy partner in your corner without the overhead of a full consulting firm.

This is advisory support, not a managed service. You lead the work; I help you decide faster.

What is included
  • · Two 45-minute office hours sessions per month
  • · Monthly updates on feature changes to the specific tools you use
  • · Maintenance and troubleshooting of the workflows built during Launchpad
  • · Unlimited advisory messaging for the full active term, answered within 12 business hours
  • · Progress reviews and roadmap updates
  • · Team enablement guidance

AI Evolution begins after a completed 30-day Launchpad. New clients start with Discovery and Launchpad, and Evolution picks up the following month, billed separately.

Best for
  • · Teams actively expanding AI use
  • · Business owners who want a trusted advisor
  • · Often follows the Launchpad

Every engagement I take starts the same way.

01

Free 15-minute AI Assessment

A real conversation about where you are and what you are trying to solve. I pick one bottleneck worth fixing, recommend one tool, and send you a short written summary. If something else would serve you better, I will point you there.

02

Scoped proposal

If there is a fit, you get a clear proposal with scope, timeline, and deliverables. Clear terms, a defined end date, and no surprises.

03

Strategy first

I design the strategy and the workflows, then guide your team through putting them into practice. The systems end up running in your hands, not dependent on mine. I stay reachable by message between sessions, so your time goes into the work rather than into status meetings.

04

You own the output

Assessment, roadmap, documentation, workflows. All yours. No lock-in and no proprietary platform you have to keep paying for.

Who this is for

A good fit

  • · Solo operators and businesses under 10 employees
  • · Contractors and home service companies. Pool builders, HVAC, roofing, landscaping, remodeling
  • · Realtors, small agent teams, property managers, and real estate investors
  • · Owners who gave ChatGPT a try and are ready for a better second run at it
  • · Owners ready to stop typing the same numbers into two different systems
  • · Owners whose larger clients or partners are starting to ask how they use AI

Where I am not the right call

  • · Custom software built from scratch. You want a developer.
  • · Owners looking to hand off running the business entirely
  • · Businesses wanting a tool recommendation without changing how they work
  • · Regulated legal, financial, or medical advice work

Common Questions

How much does AI consulting cost for a small business?

At Oren Strategic Advisors, a Discovery Sprint is $997, Launchpad is $2,000 for 30 days or $5,000 for 90 days, and ongoing AI Evolution advisory is $750 per month on a six-month initial term. Because the Discovery fee credits toward Launchpad, a full first-year path of Discovery, 30-day Launchpad, and six months of Evolution comes to about $6,500 across seven months.

What if I tried ChatGPT already and it did not stick?

That is the most common starting point, and the good news is that it is usually a sequencing problem, not a tool problem. Most people adopt a tool before deciding which task it should do. Discovery works the other way around: we find the task costing you the most time first, then choose the tool that fits it.

A client is asking whether we use AI. Where do I start?

Start with the free 15-minute AI Assessment. Bring the question your client asked. In most cases the honest answer is a short list of specific things you already do well plus one or two workflows worth automating, which is enough to answer credibly and accurately.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Most clients are owner-operators with no technical background and no interest in acquiring one. The goal is to free up your time for its most valuable use, not to become a software person. Every workflow is documented in plain language and handed to you.

Do you work with contractors and trades?

Yes, and it is the core of the practice. Home repairs, remodeling, pool service, pool builders, HVAC, roofing, landscaping, and other home service companies in Northeast Florida. Typical starting points are quoting and estimates, scheduling, customer follow-up, and getting receipts and job costs out of a spreadsheet.

Do you work with real estate professionals?

Yes. Solo agents, small teams, property managers, and investment firms. Common work includes listing and marketing content, client communication, transaction follow-up, and expense capture.

What areas do you serve?

Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. That covers Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, Orange Park, Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island, Yulee, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, Palatka, and Macclenny, plus Brunswick, St. Simons, Kingsland, St. Marys, and Waycross in Georgia. Remote work is available outside that area.

How long before I see results?

Discovery is a single 30-minute interview with deliverables to follow. Launchpad is 30 or 90 days with a defined finish line, and it is sequenced to have at least one workflow built within 30 days that saves time, generates leads, or improves margins.

Do I have to buy software?

Often not. Recommendations are vendor-neutral. Buy software only when it is the best path for the tasks that need to be streamlined or automated. In many cases the right answer is a tool you already pay for and have not yet put to work. Where a new tool is genuinely needed, you will hear the cost and the tradeoff before you commit.

How much of my time does this take?

Working sessions are 45 minutes, twice per 30 days during Launchpad. Everything between sessions runs by message, so there are no standing meetings. It is designed to fit around a full workday, because you are busy running the business.
