What you get

What you're holding when we're done.

  • Your processes drawn as they really are. With the Dudson Method we walk through the whole business, not as it should be, and not as the org chart tells it. That's where the mess shows up.
  • Which steps are redundant and where everything jams. What gets done twice, what waits for somebody to remember, and where automating actually makes sense — only where it does. Optimise first, automate second.
  • A risk review of every proposal. Access, data, what you end up depending on and what happens if a piece fails — technical risks and human ones. If it isn't safe, we don't propose it.
  • An implementation plan built for you — the roadmap. What to do, in what order and why, ranked by what gives back the most against what risks the most. A written document plus a handover call to walk you through it.

Nothing is touched here: it's analysed and decided. Building whatever comes out of the plan is the implementation, and we do that ourselves — whoever diagnoses is the same one who builds.

Why this first

Automating a broken process just multiplies it.

If the process is wrong and you automate it, now it's wrong faster and in more places at once. That's why you order first and implement second — in that order, not the other way round.

Who it's for

  • You have several areas tangled together and don't know which to start with
  • You have a team, and the process lives in each person's head
  • You're going for the Complete operation: that package always starts here
  • You want to know what fixing it costs before committing to fix it

When you don't need it

  • You have one specific problem and you're clear about it
  • What you're missing is someone to answer messages: that's the AI agent, bought directly
  • What you're missing is charging and delivering on its own: that's the Sales system, also direct

If that's your case, don't pay for a diagnostic to reach a conclusion you already have: go straight to the AI agent or the Sales system.

How it goes

From paying to holding the plan.

You pay here and it's contracted. Your card details go straight to Stripe: they never pass through our servers and we never see them. The receipt reaches you by email.

We write to you the next business day to set up the conversation and tell you what we'd like to see.

60 to 90 minutes of conversation with you, in one or two calls, with whoever decides on your side. It's the piece that can't be skipped: nobody knows your operation better than you.

We look at how you work today. Your tools, your spreadsheets, your order chats. Looking, not touching: nothing in your operation gets changed in this service.

We analyse the whole business and build the plan. What's there gets drawn, what's redundant gets marked, the risks of each proposal get reviewed and the order of work gets set.

We hand you the document and walk it through on a call. The timeline is 5 to 7 business days counted from when we have the data and the conversation is done, not from payment: that part depends on you and we're not going to sell you a date we don't control.

On that same call we present the implementation proposal, with the credit already running. Deciding is yours: the plan is yours whether you implement it with us or not.

Before you buy

What we need from you, and where this ends.

What we need from you

  • 60 to 90 minutes of conversation, with whoever decides
  • Being allowed to see how you work today: tools, spreadsheets, order chats
  • Honesty about the real processes, not the ones that should exist

What's not included

  • The execution. Nothing gets touched, no system gets changed. It's analysed and decided
  • Setting up, connecting or configuring anything that appears in the plan
  • Your staff's work, or decisions that are yours to make

Building whatever comes out of the plan is contracted separately — and that's exactly where this $500 comes back to you in full.

Terms of this service

What you're accepting when you buy, in plain words.

Price
$500, a single payment, up front. There's no founder price and no seats here: this is analysis work, not a setup, and it costs the same for everyone.
Credit
The $500 for the AI Business Diagnostic is credited in full against the price of the implementation if that implementation is contracted in less than 30 calendar days, counted from the delivery of the roadmap. It is applied when the implementation proposal is drawn up, subtracting that amount from the total. After that period, the diagnostic stands as paid for what it is and the implementation goes at its own price.
Delivery
A written document and a call to walk through it, in 5 to 7 business days counted from when we have the data and the conversation is done, not from payment. If that part is delayed, the timeline moves with it.
What's not included
The execution. In this service no system of yours is touched or changed: it's looked at, analysed and decided. Building whatever comes out of the plan is the implementation and is contracted separately.
30-day guarantee
The guarantee in the general terms gives back the setup fee when a delivered system doesn't do what was accepted at purchase. There's no setup here: what's delivered is the document and the call. So that guarantee does not apply to this service, and we'd rather say so before you pay.
Support
Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 17:00, answering the next business day. Questions about the delivered document come in through there.
What's yours
The document is yours the moment it's delivered, and you can use it with whoever you like — including if you decide to implement with someone else, or not at all. What you tell us about your business is shared with nobody.

One-time payment

AI Business Diagnostic

$500 one-time

The whole business analysed with the Dudson Method, the risk review and the written plan, with its handover call. Credited back in full if you contract the implementation.

This isn't lost if you go ahead. The $500 for the AI Business Diagnostic is credited in full against the price of the implementation if that implementation is contracted in less than 30 calendar days, counted from the delivery of the roadmap. The diagnostic stops being a cost and becomes the deposit on whatever we build.

Payments are processed directly by Stripe and never pass through our servers at any point. We never see your card details and we never store them.
