Free 3-Minute Audit

How much is doing everything manually actually costing your business?

Most business owners lose 10 to 20 hours every week on tasks AI can handle in minutes. This audit shows you your exact number, your readiness level, and the one thing to do next.

8 questions. Under 3 minutes.

Most owners think they need more AI tools. They do not. They need a clearer read on where the hours are actually leaking, and the discipline to plug one hole at a time. This audit gives you the map.

What you walk away with

01

Your AI Readiness Score

A clear level from 1 to 5 that tells you, without flattery, where you actually are. No "you are doing great" emails. The honest read.

02

Your hidden monthly cost

The exact dollar number leaking out of your business every month, calculated from your real hours and your real rate. Most owners are losing more than they think.

03

Your top 3 time drains

Ranked by hours per week, so you know exactly where to start. Not a generic list. Your list.

04

The one thing to do next

A single action step matched to your level. Small enough to do this week. Big enough to compound.

Most AI advice is written by people who have never sat across from a buyer with a real budget and a real problem. This audit is not.

Frequently asked
Is this actually free?

Yes. You give your email, you get your results and your action step. No payment, no card.

How long does it take?

Under 3 minutes. 8 short questions, multiple choice, no essays.

What happens with my data?

Your email goes to my mailing list. You can unsubscribe in one click. I never sell or share lists.

What if I score low?

Good news. The lower the score, the higher the hidden cost. The audit gives you a starting move sized for where you actually are. The point is the next step, not the score.

Three minutes. A clearer next step on the other side.

1 / 8

Be honest. This one sets everything else.

When someone brings up AI in a room you are in, your first reaction is…

I change the subject or quietly check my phone.
I nod along and hope nobody asks me a direct question.
I am curious but I do not really know where to jump in.
I engage. I have opinions and a few things I actually use.
I am usually the one bringing it up.
2 / 8

The task that eats the most creative energy.

How do you handle your business content (social media, newsletters, posts)?

I write everything from scratch, post by post. It takes hours.
I use ChatGPT or Claude sometimes for drafts but rewrite most of it.
I have templates and I batch my content creation.
I use AI-assisted workflows that save me real time every week.
I have a system that runs with minimal input from me.
3 / 8

The invisible work nobody sees but you feel every day.

Think about follow-up emails, scheduling, invoicing, and reminders. How much is manual?

Everything. I type every email and track it all in my head or a notebook.
Most of it. I have some templates but still send everything manually.
About half. Some things are automated, others I still handle myself.
Mostly automated. I only handle the personal, high-touch moments.
Fully automated. The system handles it and I review when needed.
4 / 8

The work nobody sees but everybody depends on.

When you need to create a proposal, report, or business document, what happens?

I start from a blank page every single time.
I find an old document and copy-paste sections, then rewrite.
I have templates I have built over time. They save some effort.
I use AI to generate first drafts from my notes or briefs.
My documents build themselves from meeting notes and data.
5 / 8

The pile of subscriptions nobody talks about.

How many AI tools or subscriptions are you paying for right now that you barely use?

Honestly, I have lost count.
6 or more. Most of them I signed up for and never went back.
3 to 5. I use one or two properly, the rest sit there.
1 or 2. I tried things and cancelled what did not stick.
None. Everything I pay for, I actually use.
6 / 8

No judgement. Most owners have never been told the answer to this.

When you use ChatGPT or Claude for work, what kind of information do you usually paste in?

Client names, contracts, financials, whatever I need help with.
Business info and emails, mostly without thinking about it.
I try to remove names and numbers when I remember to.
I have a habit of sanitising before I paste.
I use a setup that keeps sensitive data out of the prompt entirely.
7 / 8

There is no wrong answer here.

If a client or peer asked how you are using AI in your business, what would you say?

I would change the subject.
"I use ChatGPT for emails sometimes." And then I would stop talking.
"I use a few tools but I know I could be doing more."
"I have specific workflows set up for certain parts of my business."
"AI is integrated into how my business operates day to day."
8 / 8

Last one. This shapes your results page.

If you got 10 hours back every week, the first thing you would do is…

Rest. Actually rest, without guilt.
Time with family, friends, or a life outside work.
Strategic work I never get to: thinking, planning, building.
Launch the new offer, course, or service I have been sitting on.
Honestly, I do not know. I have not let myself think about it.
