Services
AI consulting services that end in production.
Every engagement starts with a free call. Most go on to the Map, and the Map recommends the engagement. For $1k, the ClearPath Technology Map shows your whole operation: where it can be improved, the numbers behind each opportunity, and the engagement that gets you to your goals.

I spend time with you and your team learning your operation, then hand you a working plan you keep whether or not you hire me. It is technology-agnostic, so where AI is not the answer, I say so.
What the map delivers
- Your technology, mapped: every system you run, how they connect, and how work flows across them.
- The opportunities worth pursuing, each with the number it would move.
- The risks worth knowing: single points of failure, manual bottlenecks, key person and data gaps.
- Quick wins and bigger bets, sequenced for the fastest return.
- Honest "do not bother" calls, named plainly.
- A recommended engagement, with a delivery plan that ends in production: your Path to Prod.
The guarantee: if the Map does not find at least 10 hours a week your team can get back, or at least $10,000 a year in revenue or cost, you do not pay for it.
What comes after: The map ends with the engagement that fits: one system shipped (Build), one initiative owned end to end (Manage), or your team led to the goal (Lead). You are not guessing which one you need. The map recommends it and tells you why.
What the $1k Map includes →How an engagement works
The recommended level follows from scope and depth. Scope is set by the deliverables we agree on. Depth is set by how far the work reaches into your business. It is a predictable system that fits a single deliverable at one end and leading your whole technology initiative at the other.
The technology gets chosen for the outcome. I believe in AI and its responsible, safe use, and almost every ClearPath Map surfaces a place it pays off. It is rarely the only tool. I am pragmatic first: the right tool for the job, whatever that turns out to be.
Pricing follows the level and the outcome. Focused builds start from about $2k as a project, and ongoing engagements run as monthly retainers.
One production AI system, shipped into the workflow where it has to work.
Build
Project based. Focused builds start from about $2k.
Not this if the scope will keep moving after launch, or the work spans several teams. That is Manage.
About Build →One accountable owner for your initiative, from definition to measured operation.
Manage
A monthly retainer, sized to the initiative.
Not this if you have one bounded build, which is Build, or you need direction across several initiatives and teams, which is Lead.
About Manage →Technology leadership on demand: a player coach who runs your engineering department, with the direction, delivery discipline, and technical judgment of a senior executive, without the full time hire. AI included.
Lead
A monthly retainer for as long as you need the seat.
Not this if you have one defined thing to build and no team to lead. That is Build.
About Lead →The three side by side
| Build | Manage | Lead | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | One system | One initiative across a business pillar | The AI capability across the organization |
| Delivery | I run it end to end | I own it, with your team where you have one | Your teams build under my leadership |
| Complete when | It runs in production and is handed over | The initiative is in measured operation | Your organization owns the capability |

Where the map looks
The ClearPath Map reads your whole operation, but the opportunities almost always cluster in four areas of the business and the workflows that run them. This is a lens for finding them, not a menu to buy from.
Growth and demand.
How you win work: leads, follow up, quoting, conversion.
Operations and delivery.
How the work gets done: scheduling, handoffs, the manual steps that slow a day down.
Revenue and cash.
How you get paid: invoicing, collections, the gap between work finished and money in.
Retention and experience.
How you keep customers: response times, communication, the moments that decide whether they stay.
Tell me where it hurts, or let the map find it. The engagement follows from what we find.
How the work runs
Path to Prod has three steps. Scope: agree on the problem and the definition of done. Deliver: build it and ship it. Run: monitor it, measure the result, and keep it working. A plan that ends in production, not a deck. Your ClearPath Technology Map is where Scope begins.
