Most owners we talk to know they should be using AI somewhere. The hard part is knowing where. We look at how your business actually runs, find the places AI would genuinely save you money or hours, and walk you through a plan worth acting on. $1,500, fixed.
You do not need an AI strategy deck. You need someone to look at how your business actually runs and tell you, honestly, where AI would pay for itself and where it would just 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 genuinely 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 calls that turn into a sales funnel.
You know the number before any work begins. That is how everything at this studio is priced. 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.
What you walk away with
Where your business stands with AI today, in plain English. Something you can hand to anyone on your team without a translator.
Each one names the expected impact in money or hours. We usually find more than five opportunities; you get the ones actually worth doing. You are paying for judgment, not a longer list.
What to do first, what can wait, what to skip entirely. Sequenced so you start with the changes that pay off soonest.
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.
The same way every project at this studio starts. No qualification quiz, no calendar link chase.
A paragraph about your business through the brief page, or email hola@xala.studio. That is genuinely all we need.
A real person, with a written confirmation of what the audit covers and when we can start.
One invoice for $1,500 through the studio's normal rail. Then we get to work.
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 actually save my business money? The citation audit looks at your visibility. This one looks at your operations.
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.
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, prioritized read on your actual business, at a number you knew before we started.
$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.
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.
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 actually save your business money on the inside: your quoting, scheduling, follow-ups, and paperwork.
No. You buy it once, like a product. It ends with a scorecard, prioritized use cases, a 90-day roadmap, and a live walkthrough. What you do next is up to you, with us or without us.
You send a one-paragraph brief 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.
One paragraph about your business is enough. Tell us what you need → Or just email hola@xala.studio.
