A board-ready AI roadmap for your manufacturing business. In 72 hours.

AI is what we do. manufacturing is where we've worked for 10+ years. So the recommendations aren't "you should try ChatGPT." They're "here's what companies your size have actually deployed, what it cost, and what it saved."

Book a discovery call

Start with a fit check. If we cannot build a useful roadmap from your situation, we stop and you pay nothing.

Why most AI roadmaps are useless

Your board is asking. Your competitors are hinting. Every article is either a hype piece or a pitch deck. Every consultant quotes $30,000 for a report. And none of it starts from what manufacturing companies like yours have already done.

This one does.


Regulatory readiness is part of the roadmap

We map relevant dated obligations to the proposed workflows, flag the decisions that need specialist review, and separate current duties from future deadlines.

What you get

12 pages. Delivered 72 hours after the discovery call.

1Executive summary

One page. Outcome-first. Board-presentable.

2Impact-effort matrix

The 4 quadrants. Which opportunities are fast wins, which are strategic bets, which to skip.

3Peer benchmarks from companies your size

Companies your size in manufacturing: what they've already deployed, what it cost, what the outcomes look like. The thing nobody else can give you.

48 opportunities, with ROI

Hours saved, dollars saved, revenue unlocked. Setup time. Build-vs-buy. A short list of vendors we'd actually trust.

5Linked case studies

For every opportunity: 3–5 manufacturing companies who've already done it. With real metrics.

630-day quick-wins plan

Named owners. Milestones. Gate checkpoints. What to ship in the first month to prove the approach.

7Financial impact model

Current weekly hours. Projected monthly ROI. The math your CFO wants to see.

8Regulatory readiness + priced next steps

A dated regulatory-readiness module, plus a priced opportunity inventory covering DIY, advisory, a custom knowledge system, and vendor-supported implementation.


Why this isn't the other roadmaps

Most AI consultants open ChatGPT and quote you $15,000. We're AI experts with 10+ years inside manufacturing. We track every tool, every deployment, every shift — and we know your industry cold. That's what you're paying for.

Built off real case studies, not guesses

Every recommendation is anchored in a documented deployment at a manufacturing company. With numbers.

A vendor shortlist, not a search dump

Vetted vendors, scoped to your use case and company size. Not a 40-tool list you have to filter yourself.

Credited toward implementation

The full $2,500 applies to a $7,500 custom knowledge-system engagement or an advisory year. Up to $500 applies to an eligible vendor-introduction engagement.

How it works

Step 1
Book a call45 minutes on Zoom. We ask about your workflows, your stack, your team, and what's already on fire. We record it.
Step 2
We build the roadmap72 hours. We build the deck off everything we track in AI and 10+ years inside manufacturing. Tailored to your stack, your size, and the workflows you flagged on the call.
Step 3
Walkthrough + decide30-min call. We walk the deck. You ask the hard questions. From there, we guide implementation directly — that covers most engagements. For the most complex builds, we help you pick the right vendor.
