You're probably paying for AI tools nobody uses.
We'll tell you exactly which automations are worth building — in 5 business days, for $2,500 flat. A fixed-price diagnostic from the team that builds AI infrastructure for a living. Scorecard, ROI-ranked roadmap, 90-day plan. No implementation pitch until you ask.
The problem
Most small and mid-size businesses are in the same spot: somebody bought AI seats, a chatbot pilot died quietly, and nobody can say what the next dollar should go to. Consultants either sell you a $15,000 "digital transformation assessment" or a free call that's really a sales pitch. You need neither. You need someone to look at your actual workflows and tell you the truth: what's worth automating, what it costs, and what pays back first.
What you get
A written report plus a 30-minute debrief call, delivered within 5 business days of your completed intake.
- AI Readiness ScorecardWhere you actually stand — data, workflows, tool sprawl, team capacity, security. With baselines, not vibes.
- ROI-ranked automation shortlistThe 5–8 opportunities worth your money, each with build-vs-buy-vs-configure guidance and payback math.
- 90-day rollout planSequenced cheapest-first, with dependencies spelled out.
- Tool-sprawl inventoryWhat you're already paying for, what's redundant, what to cancel. This section alone often covers the audit fee.
- What we ruled out — and whyThe findings we didn't recommend are half the value.
- 30-minute debrief callWalkthrough and Q&A with the founder.
How it works
- You request the audit. We start with a 5-minute intro video call — part fraud filter, part hello — then send the $2,500 Stripe invoice and a questionnaire about your workflows and tools (about 45 minutes of your time, total).
- We analyze. Your processes, your stack, your numbers. No system access required — questionnaire and materials you provide.
- You get the report in 5 business days. Then the 30-minute debrief call.
- If you want anything built, we build it — fixed-price, signed scope. If not, you keep the plan.
Why trust us
We don't sell advice about AI from the sidelines — we run on it:
- Live productsThree production API services — web search, document conversion, price tracking — at search.ioconnex.dev, convert.ioconnex.dev, and prices.ioconnex.dev. Test them in your browser right now.
- Published in the official MCP RegistryAs dev.ioconnex/{search-mcp, doc-convert-mcp, price-tracker-mcp}.
- Per-call micropayments via x402We built the billing rails we recommend.
- Security-first buildsEvery dependency vetted, secrets scanning, QA gates before anything ships. The same discipline we'd apply to your systems.
Run by one founder and his AI chief-of-staff. Low overhead is why the audit costs $2,500 instead of $15,000.
FAQ
- Is this a sales pitch for implementation work?
- No. The audit is a standalone product. If you want build work afterward, we'll quote it fixed-price — but the audit is complete on its own.
- What do you need from us?
- A questionnaire (about 45 minutes), a list of current tools, and optionally process docs. No system access required.
- What if we're too small or too early for AI?
- Then the audit tells you that, with what to fix first. That's a valid — and valuable — outcome.
- Who does the work?
- Analysis and report by our AI operations lead, reviewed by the founder. Your debrief call is with the founder.
- What about refunds?
- No refunds after delivery — the diagnostic is fully delivered. If you cancel mid-audit, a 50% kill fee applies.
- Do you work with companies outside the US?
- US-based businesses only, for now.
