For Business Builders
You love your business.
Let AI handle the parts you don't.
The kAIzen Alliance helps independent business builders use AI for the repetitive work, so your time goes back to what you do best. Real capability you own and operate, not one more app you never open.
How we work with you
Most business builders have heard enough about AI by now. What they have not found yet is a clear, honest answer to one question: what does this actually mean for my business?
That is where we start.
If you have already tried AI and gotten back something useless, that is common, and it is not a sign you did anything wrong. AI is only as useful as the setup behind it, and that is fixable.
The kAIzen Alliance works with independent business builders at every point in that question. Some are curious but unsure where to begin. Some have a specific problem they want solved. Some are ready to build something and just need the right guide alongside them.
There is no single path that fits every business. But every path starts with an honest conversation about where you are and what you actually need.
Here is how we work with business builders, from the first conversation to long-term capability.
Five ways to work together
These are the five ways we work with business builders, in the order most clients move through them, starting with the free AI Orientation. Each one links to the full detail below.
AI Orientation
Free
An honest conversation on whether AI can help your business. No slides. No canned agenda.
Quick Win Sprint
$197
One nagging problem, solved. First a call to figure out your needs, then we fix it together.
AI ORIENTATION
Start with a conversation.
Free. We cover the coffee.
If you have been curious about AI but not sure where to start, or if you have heard enough about it to be skeptical, this is the right place to begin.
We sit down with business builders. No slides, no agenda, no sales pitch. Just a conversation about your business, what you are dealing with day to day, and whether AI is something that could genuinely help.
We meet you where you are comfortable. Coffee, lunch, a quick call, wherever works. And we will be straight with you: if AI is not the right fit for your situation right now, we will tell you that too.
What to expect
We start by learning about your business. Then we talk about where AI actually applies in a business like yours, with real examples that make sense for what you do. We end with a clear picture of what is possible and what, if anything, makes sense as a next step.
No pressure. No commitment. Just clarity.
QUICK WIN SPRINT
One Problem. One Working Session. Done.
$197, paid before the session. 60 to 90 minutes.
Some problems do not need a full engagement. They just need one focused session and the right approach.
The Quick Win Sprint is built for business builders who have one specific thing they want to fix. It happens in two steps. First, a short call to figure out exactly what you need and choose the right sprint together. Then the working session itself, 60 to 90 minutes, where we build the fix with you. You leave that session with something that works, along with a short guide showing you how to keep using it on your own.
Choose your sprint
The Writer's Block Fix. You write the same thing over and over. Proposals, follow-up emails, service descriptions, client updates. AI can draft all of it. We build a system around your most repeated writing task so you stop starting from a blank page every time.
The Follow-Up Fix. Leads go quiet. Renewals slip. Referral thank-yous never get sent. We build a simple AI-assisted follow-up sequence for your specific situation so the right message goes out without you having to remember to write it.
The Seasonal Fix. Every quarter arrives and you are scrambling to produce the same kind of content under pressure. We spend one session getting ahead of your next seasonal moment so the copy, the emails, and the posts are ready before the rush starts.
These are the three patterns we see most often. They are not the only ones. If your problem looks different but it still fits the Quick Win shape, one specific thing fixable in a focused session, the Sprint Selection Call is where we figure out the right approach together.
What you get
One working solution, built with you during the session. A one-page guide showing you how to maintain and use it going forward. And a clear picture of what else becomes possible if you want to keep going.
DISCOVERY
Find out exactly where you stand.
$597, paid before the session. A single session of two to four hours, plus the Blueprint and a 30-minute debrief.
Before building anything, it helps to know what you are actually working with.
The Discovery engagement is a structured conversation about how your business runs right now. We work through it together in a single session, and within 48 hours you receive a document that maps everything we found: where your time is going, which tasks are costing you more than they should, what is a realistic candidate for AI assistance, and what to do first.
That document is called the AI Operations Blueprint. It is not a summary of the conversation. It is a working reference that tells you exactly where your business stands and what a practical path forward looks like.
What the blueprint includes
A plain-language summary of your current operations. A priority ranking of where your time is being lost. A task-by-task breakdown of what AI can realistically help with and what still needs a human. Quick wins you can act on immediately. A three-phase implementation roadmap. And if you do not yet have AI tools in place, a recommended starting point built around your specific business and budget.
How it works
Before we meet, we send you a short prep guide covering eight things to have ready. The session itself runs two to four hours depending on how your business operates. We lead the conversation. You answer honestly. Forty-eight hours later, you receive the Blueprint. Then we schedule a 30-minute call to walk through it together and answer any questions.
What comes next is entirely up to you
Some clients take the Blueprint and run with it on their own. Some use it as the starting point for a Build engagement. Either way, you leave with a clear picture and a real plan. That is the point.
THE BUILD
Build the systems, one phase at a time.
The Build is where the plan becomes working systems. It happens in phases so you are never building on top of something unfinished. Each phase has its own price and its own clear finish line.
Phase 1: Foundation Build
Build it right from the start.
$1,497
50% at signing, 50% at delivery
AI works well when it has reliable information to work with. Most small businesses are not quite there yet. Client records in three different places. Tools that do not talk to each other. Processes that live in someone's head instead of somewhere a system can find them.
Phase 1 is about fixing that before anything else gets built on top of it. We work through the highest-priority items from your Blueprint together. We organize what needs organizing, connect what needs connecting, and get everything into a shape where the real work can start. When Phase 1 is complete, you are running the foundation yourself. We are not maintaining it for you. You own it.
Two weeks after Phase 1 is complete, we check in to make sure everything is running the way it should before Phase 2 begins. You also have 30 days of direct support access if anything comes up, seven days a week.
Phase 2 and 3: Build and Capability
Build the systems that give you your time back.

This is where the work you have been doing becomes a business that runs differently than it did before.
Phase 2 builds the working systems: the automated workflows, the AI-assisted client communication, the processes that no longer need you in the middle of every step.
Phase 3 adds the capability layer: the additional tools that make your specific business work smarter, the content and marketing systems that do not require a team to run, and the confidence that you understand everything well enough to maintain it yourself.
When we are finished, you own all of it. Every workflow, every system, every process. We document everything in plain language before we close the engagement. You do not need us to keep it running.
We work through it together in live sessions. Halfway through, we check in to make sure everything is tracking before we continue. At the end, we do a formal handoff: we walk through every system we built, confirm you can operate it independently, and hand over the complete documentation.
You have 30 days of direct support access. Seven days a week. At the 30-day mark, we check in again. At 90 days, we send a quick note. Not a check-in with an agenda. Just a genuine how-is-it-going. The relationship does not end when the engagement does.
ADVISORY
Keep building, with someone who knows your business.
$397 per month, billed at the start of each period. Three-month minimum, then month to month.
The work does not stop when the build does. AI keeps evolving. New tools appear. Your business grows and changes. The systems that work well today will need attention six months from now.
Advisory is for clients who have completed a Build engagement and want to keep improving rather than maintain what they have. Every month, we do something concrete together. Sometimes that means optimizing an existing workflow. Sometimes it means adding something new. Sometimes it means evaluating a tool that just became relevant to your specific situation and deciding together whether it belongs in your stack.
What you get every month
A 60-minute call to review progress, address anything that has come up, and identify the next improvement. One concrete addition or optimization, so every month has something to show for it. Ongoing access to reach us when something comes up, seven days a week. And a monthly update on what is changing in the AI landscape that actually matters for a business like yours. Not a newsletter. A specific, curated note based on what we already know about how you work.
What to expect
The first month focuses on identifying what could be running better and what new capabilities have become available since the build closed. From there, every month has a direction and a deliverable. If there is ever a month where nothing meaningful needs attention, we spend the time on an AI landscape review specific to your business type. You are never paying for a status update.
Not sure which step is yours?
That is normal. It is exactly what the first conversation is for. We sit down, talk about your business honestly, and figure out together whether AI can help and where it would start.
No pressure and no pitch.
Know someone we should meet?
If working with us made a difference for your business, the most meaningful thing you can do is tell someone else.
When a client you refer becomes a paying client, we will thank you with a $100 credit toward your next invoice or future engagement.
No forms. No referral codes. Just let us know who you sent our way.
