A fixed-price look at where AI and software would earn back real money inside your practice or firm. Two weeks, one document, every fix ranked and priced. La Jolla is ten minutes from the studio, so we come to you.
La Jolla businesses sell a small number of things at high prices. A med spa in the Village, a law office two blocks from the cove, a wealth manager with forty households, a specialty clinic out toward Torrey Pines. Most of them win a handful of new clients a month, and each one is worth thousands over the years that follow. That math changes what a slow reply costs you.
The expensive problem sits in the gap between someone asking about you and someone hearing back. A form arrives at six on a Friday evening. The front desk sees it Monday, calls once, gets voicemail, and writes a note that nobody reads again. Three weeks later no one can say whether that person was ever called back. Meanwhile the same five questions about pricing, parking and what a first visit involves get answered by hand, one at a time, all day long.
The audit measures that. We count the inquiries you received last quarter, how long each one waited, and how many went quiet. We watch your front desk work for an afternoon and write down every task a person repeats. Then you get three to five fixes, ranked, with the hours and the build cost next to each one, plus the things we think you should leave exactly as they are.
A med spa in the Village. Consultations get booked by phone, confirmed by text, and charted in a system that does not talk to either. The front desk rebuilds the day's schedule by hand every morning. We time that, price the connection, and check whether the software they already pay for does it once somebody turns it on.
A two-partner law firm. New matter intake means a call, a questionnaire, a conflict check and a folder, and the partners do most of it themselves because nobody else is trusted with it. The audit separates the steps that need a lawyer from the steps that only ever needed a form and a rule.
A wealth manager with a small book. Every client review packet gets assembled by hand from three statements and a spreadsheet, so quarter end swallows two weeks. We measure what the assembly costs in billable attention, price a tool that drafts the packet for a human to check, and say plainly if compliance makes that a bad idea.
We work with established businesses that have real operations behind them, roughly five to fifty people, where the owner still knows how the work moves and can answer questions about it. We need a few hours with the staff who do the work, not only the person who signs the check.
One and two person practices get told no. There is rarely enough repeated work to earn back $1,500, and the honest answer at that size is ChatGPT Plus, a scheduler and a good template. We would rather say that up front than take the fee and pad a document.
The price is $1,500, fixed, and nothing about it obligates you to build anything. La Jolla is a ten minute drive from the studio, so the walkthrough happens at your office with your team in the room, and if we find nothing worth building we tell you that and you keep the document.
This page was drafted from a structured outline and hand-reviewed before launch. The work itself is custom, owner-operated, never templated.
