Choose the path that fits your growth stage

Every company scales differently. We design systems that meet you where you are — and grow with you.

AI Systems Audit

The AI Systems Audit is a focused 2-week engagement designed for industrial and B2B teams that want to understand where AI can safely make their marketing and operations faster, smarter, and more efficient — without disrupting what already works.

  • Quick discovery of your current marketing, CRM, and data flow
  • Readiness scoring across three key pillars
  • Clear opportunities and efficiency gaps
  • One-page roadmap and 45-minute leadership review

Flat fee: $2,000–$2,500. Includes a 1-page summary report, quick-win recommendations, and a live readout session with Nicholas Putz.

“The audit is the fastest way to see how AI fits into your real systems — not just your ideas.”

— Nicholas Putz

How to choose

If you want ongoing leadership and a predictable operating rhythm, start with a retainer. If you have a focused outcome, pick a project. If you want shared accountability tied to results, value-based may be right. And if you’re evolving fast, a hybrid model blends consistency with flexibility.

  • Retainers: predictable cadence, leadership, continuous improvement
  • Projects: fixed scope, clear outcomes, defined timeline
  • Value-Based: base advisory + upside tied to results
  • Hybrid: retainer foundation with project sprints or performance components

“Your best marketing is a clean system connected to revenue. Choose the model that gets you there fastest — then scale what works.”

— Nicholas Putz
