— The wedge —
You've already done the reading. The quotes were insane.
Most of our buyers have read 50+ articles on AI in the last year. They've sat through enterprise consulting pitches quoting $40K–$80K for a strategy assessmentand walked away. Not because they don't understand AI — because that's insane money for unknown ROI when you're a $10M business, not a $10B one.
The audit follows the same methodology — peer benchmark, prioritization framework, vendor analysis, KPI targets, sequenced roadmap. The difference is the operating model: structured intake instead of discovery calls, a fixed scope instead of a custom one, a PDF instead of a slide deck. Seven days.
— Inside the report —
Six sections, one working document.
Not slideware. A document your ops lead can hand to a freelancer or in-house engineer and act on the same week.
01 · Scorecard
AI-readiness scorecard.
Five dimensions — data, tooling, process maturity, team capacity, leadership alignment — scored against a peer set of 47 multi-location SMBs. You see where you stand before deciding what to build.
02 · Workflow map
Workflow map of where money leaks.
We trace the operations costing you the most hours and dollars per week. Every leak is named, sized, and tied to a specific automatable handoff — not a vague 'AI opportunity'.
03 · ICE-scored plays
Seven prioritized plays, ICE-scored.
Each recommendation gets an Impact × Confidence × Ease score (1–10 per axis). The roadmap sequences plays by score, so you ship the highest-ROI work first.
04 · Vendor shortlist
Vendor shortlist with build-vs-buy calls.
For each play: the two or three tools we'd actually use, what they cost, and whether to buy off-the-shelf, glue together with a low-code platform, or build custom. No vendor referral fees.
05 · KPI targets
KPI targets — baseline to year one.
Baseline → Day 30 → Day 90 → Year 1, in a table. You'll know on Day 31 whether the rollout is working — not at the end of the quarter when the budget is gone.
06 · 90-day roadmap
A 13-week implementation roadmap.
Sequenced week-by-week with owners, dependencies, and rollback gates. Hand it to your ops lead, an in-house engineer, or a freelancer — it reads the same way.
— How it works —
Three steps, seven days.
Intake
A 15-minute structured questionnaire about your stack, team, and the workflows you suspect are leaking time. We follow up with two clarifying questions over email.
Analysis
We map your stack against the peer set, run the workflow leak analysis, and ICE-score every candidate play. No discovery calls, no slide deck workshops, no scope creep.
Delivery
A 30-page PDF lands in your inbox with the scorecard, plays, vendor shortlist, KPI table, and the 13-week roadmap. Followed by a 30-minute Q&A call if you want one.

— Why $497 —
Same engagement, priced for the rest of the market.
$40K–$80K is the price of a strategy assessment built for the Fortune 1000 — custom scope, weeks of discovery calls, a senior partner's billable hours. $497 is what the same deliverable costs once you remove the bespoke storytelling and ship it as a fixed-scope product. Not a discount. A different operating model.
— Common questions —
Quick answers.
Who's the audit actually for?+
$5M–$15M businesses running real digital workflows. Most of our buyers have read 50+ articles about AI in the last year and have already been quoted $40K–$80K by an enterprise consultancy for a 'strategy assessment'. They bounced on the price, not the idea. The audit is the same engagement at a different price point: same rigor, fixed scope, seven days.
How is this different from a $40K consulting engagement?+
The deliverable is the same shape — a prioritized roadmap, peer benchmark, vendor recs, KPIs. The difference is the operating model: structured intake instead of discovery calls, a fixed methodology instead of a custom one, a PDF instead of a slide deck, a week instead of a quarter. You give up bespoke storytelling. You keep the rigor.
What if we already use AI tools? Will this still be useful?+
Yes — most buyers already run something (Copilot, an LLM in support, an automation in their CRM). The audit's job is to find the next seven highest-leverage plays you haven't shipped yet, not to teach you what AI is. The scorecard explicitly accounts for current maturity in its peer benchmark.
Do I need a technical team to act on the report?+
No. Each play comes with a build-vs-buy call. Roughly 60% of the plays in a typical audit are 'buy off-the-shelf and configure' — your ops lead or a freelancer can ship them. The remaining 40% may need an engineer or a small agency. We tell you which is which up front.
How fast is delivery? Can I get it faster?+
7 business days from completed intake. Sometimes faster if our queue is light — email hello@metageeks.tech before purchasing if you need rush turnaround and we'll be honest about whether we can hit it.
What's the refund policy?+
Two windows. (1) After intake, before we start work: if your business doesn't fit the audit's scope, we tell you and refund — no work done, no charge. (2) After delivery: if the report doesn't deliver clear value, email us within 7 days for a full refund. No clawback, no friction.
What happens after the audit?+
Three paths, your choice. Execute the roadmap yourself using our vendor shortlist. Have us coordinate vendor selection and rollout. Or engage Metageeks Enterprise for the higher-leverage custom AI agent builds in the report. There's no upsell pressure — most buyers run the first 2–3 plays themselves and only come back for the harder ones.
Can I see what the report looks like before buying?+
Yes — request the sample report on this page. We send an illustrative sample audit, showing the full format and depth of the deliverable, to your work inbox. The link is single-use and expires in 7 days. The sample takes about 20 minutes to read and is enough for most buyers to self-qualify before purchasing.

Most buyers self-qualify in 20 minutes from the sample. If you're ready to skip that step, the full audit ships seven days from intake.
