01 / AI audit San Diego · Tijuana

An AI audit of your business.

Most owners we talk to know they should be using AI somewhere. The hard part is knowing where. We look at how your business runs, find the places AI would save you money or hours, and walk you through a plan worth acting on. $1,500, fixed.

Tell us about your project Or email us

Price $1,500. Fixed, not a starting point.

You get A scorecard, a ranked shortlist, a 90-day plan, a walkthrough.

Built for Owner-led businesses of roughly 5 to 50 people.

Ends It is a product, not a retainer.

02 / What this is

Where to start, as a product.

You do not need an AI strategy deck. You need someone to look at how your business runs and tell you, honestly, where AI would pay for itself and where it would be another subscription.

That is the whole audit. We spend time inside one business: yours. How quotes go out, how jobs get scheduled, how follow-ups happen, where the paperwork piles up. Then we map all of that against what AI tools can do today, not what the ads say they do.

It is built for owner-led businesses, roughly 5 to 50 people, in and around San Diego and Tijuana. Remote works fine too. You buy it once, like a product. No retainer, no subscription, no discovery call that turns into a sales pitch.

03 / Price and deliverables

One number. Four deliverables.

$1,500

Fixed · not “from” · not hourly

You know the number before any work begins. Fixed scope, fixed price, one invoice.

No online checkout on this page, by design. You say yes, we confirm it in writing, we invoice you, we schedule.

A readiness scorecard.

Where your business stands with AI today, in plain English. Something you can hand to anyone on your team without a translator.

3 to 5 places to start, with the dollars attached.

Each one names the expected impact in money or hours. We usually find more than five; you get the ones worth doing. You are paying for judgment, not a longer list.

A 90-day roadmap.

What to do first, what can wait, what to skip entirely. Sequenced so you start with the changes that pay off soonest.

A live walkthrough.

We sit down with you, in person or on a call, and go through all of it until it makes sense. The walkthrough is the real product. The report is the artifact you keep.

04 / How it starts

One paragraph is enough.

The same way every project at this studio starts. No qualification quiz, no calendar-link chase.

Step 01

Write us a paragraph.

About your business, through the contact page, or email hola@xala.studio. That is all we need.

Step 02

We reply within two working days.

A real person, with a written confirmation of what the audit covers and when we can start.

Step 03

We invoice, you pay, we schedule.

One invoice for $1,500 through the studio’s normal rail. Then we get to work.

05 / The $750 question

We sell two audits. Here is the difference.

If you have poked around this site you may have found our AI-citation audit: a narrower product, with a free self-serve checker and paid remediation from $750. It answers one question from the outside: what does AI say about my business when a customer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity?

This audit answers a different question from the inside: where would AI save my business money? The citation audit looks at your visibility. This one looks at how you run.

If your problem is that AI recommends your competitors, start there, and run the free checker first because it costs nothing. If your problem is that you and your team are drowning in manual work, this is the one.

06 / Who it’s for

Good fit, bad fit.

A good fit

Owner-led businesses, roughly 5 to 50 people, any industry.
Real workflows: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, follow-ups, paperwork that eats your evenings.
In or around San Diego or Tijuana, though the whole thing works remote.
Owners who want a plan they will act on, not a deck for a drawer.

Not a fit

Enterprises with procurement committees and six-month cycles. We are a small studio on purpose.
Anyone who wants ChatGPT “installed” in an afternoon. That is not a thing, and we will not pretend it is.
Anyone shopping for a retainer. This is a product you buy once. It ends, deliberately.
Anyone allergic to hearing “AI will not help here.” Part of what you pay for is knowing what to skip.

Loud honesty

We will not promise AI transforms your business. Some of what we find will be small. Some things you do by hand should stay by hand. Anyone promising guaranteed savings is selling something. What we promise is an honest, ranked read on your own business, at a number you knew before we started.

07 / FAQ

The short answers.

What does the AI audit cost?

$1,500, fixed. Not a starting price, no hourly billing, no surprise line items. You know the number before any work begins, which is how everything at this studio is priced.

Do I have to be in San Diego?

No. San Diego and Tijuana are both home, and we like sitting in the same room for the walkthrough, but the whole audit works remote too.

How is this different from the $750 AI-citation audit?

The citation audit answers what AI says about your business from the outside: your visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity answers, with paid remediation from $750 and a free self-serve version. This $1,500 audit answers where AI would save your business money on the inside: your quoting, scheduling, follow-ups, and paperwork.

Is this a retainer or a subscription?

No. You buy it once, like a product. It ends with a scorecard, a ranked shortlist of places to start, a 90-day roadmap, and a live walkthrough. What you do next is up to you, with us or without us.

What happens after I say yes?

You send us a paragraph about your business through the contact page or email hola@xala.studio. We reply within two working days with a written confirmation, then send one invoice for $1,500 through the studio’s normal rail. No online checkout.
