How We Work Together
A straightforward process designed to get you from exploration to implementation in 60-90 days
Our 4-Step Process
From first conversation to working AI solution
Free 30-Min Video Call
We discuss your business, current challenges, and where AI might help. No sales pitch—just a real conversation.
$99 On-Site AI Audit
We visit your location—shop, office, hotel—to see real workflows, talk to your team, and identify opportunities.
AI Readiness Assessment
We deliver a clear 60-90 day action plan with 3-5 prioritized AI use cases and ROI projections for each.
Implement & Scale
Start with one high-impact project, get it working, then scale to additional use cases as you see results.
Confidentiality protected: We work under mutual NDAs to protect your data, processes, and competitive advantage.
Your Fractional AI Department on Retainer
We set up and manage Abacus AI for you under your own account—you own the platform, we deliver results.
Hands-On AI Consulting for Rural Businesses
Retainer based on opportunity size and SLA + your Abacus subscription
(Abacus AI: minimum $10/month, plus initial setup ~$300-500, then ongoing ~$50-150/month depending on scale)
You own the platform — we deliver results. We set up your own Abacus AI account and act as your designated AI consultant. Your data stays in your account, you control the subscription, and we handle everything else:
- Build and manage data pipelines from your existing systems (POS, CRM, accounting, etc.)
- Train and maintain your AI models (forecasting, recommendations, anomaly detection)
- Create custom dashboards, reports, and AI tools tailored to your business
- Provide ongoing optimization, training, and strategic guidance
- Act as your dedicated team member for all things AI
Why This Model Works Better:
- ✓Full Transparency: You see exactly what you're paying for (our consulting + Abacus platform)
- ✓No Lock-In: Your data and AI infrastructure belong to you, not us
- ✓Direct Access: You can log into Abacus AI anytime and see your models, data, and insights
- ✓True Partnership: We're consultants helping you succeed, not vendors marking up services
Think of us as your part-time AI team member—we do the heavy lifting, you get the results.

Why Local and Onsite Matters
Remote consultants miss what we see: the actual work, the real bottlenecks, and the high-ROI opportunities hiding in your day-to-day operations.
Truly Local Presence
Based in North Idaho—not flying in from Seattle or working remotely from California. We understand the local business culture in Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint, and Spokane. We're here when you need us.
Onsite Discovery
We visit your location—your shop floor, hotel front desk, or office. We see real workflows in action, talk to the people doing the work, and spot opportunities Zoom-only consultants miss.
Education + Implementation
We don't just build solutions and leave. We educate your team, document everything clearly, and ensure you can sustain and expand what we implement together. Real adoption, not just tech delivery.
Measurable ROI
Every solution comes with clear ROI projections tied to your bottom line. We focus on practical business outcomes—time saved, costs reduced, revenue increased—not technology for technology's sake.
