AI Consulting · for small & local business
Your business.
Smarter.
Most "AI for business" talk is hype. This isn't. I look at how your business actually works and tell you — honestly — where AI saves you time or money, and where it doesn't.
The AI Audit
A straight answer about AI for your business — before you spend a dollar on it.
The audit is simple: I get to know how your business runs, then give you an honest report on where AI could genuinely save you time or money — and, just as importantly, where it wouldn't be worth the bother.
No jargon, no pressure, no products to push. Just a clear picture so you can decide for yourself. If it makes sense to go further, I'll help you put it in place.
How it works
01
A free conversation
Tell me about your business — what you do and where the time goes. No obligation, no jargon.
02
The audit
I look at how you actually work, day to day, and where the friction and busywork really are.
03
An honest report
Where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn't, what it would take, and what it would cost. Plain English.
04
Implementation
If — and only if — it's worth it, I help you actually set it up and make sure it sticks.
The promise
I'll tell you if it's not worth it.
That's the whole difference. Plenty of people will happily sell you AI you don't need. I'd rather give you a straight answer and earn your trust — even when the answer is "honestly, not yet."
It's the same idea behind everything at Forge: technology with intention. Use it where it genuinely helps. Skip it where it doesn't.
Questions
Is AI even right for my business?
Maybe not — and I'll tell you straight. The whole point of the audit is to find where it genuinely helps, not to force it in where it doesn't belong.
I'm not technical.
You don't need to be. My job is to translate — you understand your business, I understand the tools, and you make the call.
What does it cost?
The first conversation is always free. After that it depends on your business and the scope of work — agreed up front, no surprises.
Are you going to upsell me?
No. If AI won't move the needle for you, that's the honest answer you'll get. Earned trust beats a quick sale.
Let's talk
Tell me a bit about your business and I'll get back to you personally — usually within a couple of days. The first conversation is free.
