Work With Me

Stop Guessing Where AI Fits. Start With a Clear Read on Your Business.

You don't need a chosen tool or a technical spec. Bring what's happening in the business, what you want to make possible, and the questions you haven't been able to answer. I'll take it from there.

Where the Work Begins

Business & AI Opportunity Assessment

A focused, fixed-fee engagement that delivers your Key Findings Report, complete with your roadmap. Before we begin, we'll decide which key team members will participate.

  1. Bring the Perspectives Together

    I hold structured conversations with you and selected members of your team about goals, customer expectations, current challenges, and the systems you rely on. Different perspectives expose where people are working from different assumptions, and where the same problem keeps showing up in different places.

  2. Find the Patterns

    Then I dig into what's behind what I heard. Is that delay a capacity problem, an information gap, or a decision stuck waiting on you? Is your team redoing work because the right information isn't where they need it? Can you create capacity without weakening what customers count on?

  3. Set the Priorities

    I weigh every opportunity against the outcomes you want, what has to be true for it to work, and the risks involved. You'll know what can move now, what needs a closer look, and what should wait.

Your Decision Document

Your Key Findings Report

Everything the assessment uncovered, organized so you can decide where your time, attention, and money go next. It ends with your roadmap: what to do first, and why.

The Patterns Behind the Problems
Recurring issues, conflicting expectations, and how they connect.
The Opportunities Worth Pursuing
Where change will improve customer outcomes, strengthen delivery, or create capacity, and why.
What Has to Be in Place First
The information, responsibilities, capabilities, and decisions a solution needs before it can work.
Your Roadmap
What to do first, what needs more investigation, what can wait, and what depends on what.

Then we sit down for your Key Findings Review. I walk you through everything I found and the reasoning behind each recommendation. You ask questions, we weigh the tradeoffs together, and you decide what earns your next investment.

Where figures appear, the report separates client-provided information, estimates, and verified evidence. Recommendations are not a promise of financial return.

Questions CEOs Ask Me

Do I need to know which AI tool I want?
No. Starting with a tool is how most companies waste money on AI. We start with the business outcome, and the assessment shows where AI fits and what has to be in place first.
Can we start with one part of the business?
Yes. The assessment is designed to look across the whole company, but if you'd rather focus on one area first, we can start there.
Does the assessment include a working system?
No. It delivers your Key Findings Report, which we walk through together in a Key Findings Review. Mapping, prototypes, and implementation follow when the findings support them.
What if the answer isn't AI?
Then I'll tell you. Sometimes clearer responsibilities, better information, or a change in how work is organized has to come first. Recommending a tool you don't need isn't strategy.
What happens after the assessment?
You'll have a roadmap that stands on its own. If there's a clear next step worth taking together, we'll scope it. If there isn't, I'll say so.
What does the assessment cost?
It's a fixed fee based on the scope we agree on. We'll cover it on the 15-minute call.

What Clients Say

Clarity Has Always Been the Work.

From my business coaching clients. The tools have changed. The way I cut through noise hasn't.

Her ability to clear away all the static and fuzz from my processes and thinking has completely reset my ability to move forward in my business TODAY. Each time I work with her it's clear that her ability to see through my own blocks and provide simple, viable step-by-step solutions is an amazing gift.

Working with Cynthia has been the greatest investment I have ever made in my career. During our work together I got clarity on my offerings, developed my business model, created my packages and pricing, and started getting clients. She was able to show me the best path to approach prospects and close sales. Cynthia helped me understand what I am worth, and how to be fair to my business, my clients, but above all to myself.
