Who this is for

A bounded conversation for one decision—not a discounted full assessment.

This service is designed for an owner or manager who can describe one operational bottleneck, recurring task, customer-response problem, knowledge gap, or automation question without sharing credentials or sensitive records.

Common questions

Consultation scope and assessment credit

Can the consultation fee be applied to the assessment?

Yes. If you complete the purchase of the AI Operations Assessment within 14 calendar days after your consultation, the full $125 consultation fee will be applied. BSH will provide a credited assessment checkout. Do not use the standard $395 assessment checkout if you intend to apply the credit.

Does the consultation include implementation?

No. The consultation provides focused guidance and a concise written follow-up. Configuration, integration, automation, custom development, and implementation are separately scoped.

Is the consultation a full business audit?

No. It addresses one primary operational issue. The AI Operations Assessment is the appropriate service for reviewing several workflows, researching tools, prioritizing opportunities, and creating a 30-, 60-, and 90-day roadmap.

Do you guarantee savings or revenue?

No. Results depend on the business, its data, existing process, employees, customers, selected tools, implementation quality, and adoption.
