20-minute AI assessment + report · $99

Find where your business is losing money. See where AI can help fix it.

Edge is an AI business analyst. It spends 20 minutes on the phone asking how your work actually gets done — then writes up what's costing you time and money, and which parts of it AI can realistically take off your hands.

No sales pitch. Edge's job is to understand your business.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing to install.

You never fill in a form about your business. Edge just asks, the way a good consultant would.

STEP 01

Book it, or start now

Pay $99 and pick a time — or have Edge call you in the next few seconds. No app, no login, no calendar tag.

STEP 02

Talk for 20 minutes

Edge opens by telling you it's an AI. Then it follows what you say, asks why things go wrong, and puts numbers to what they cost.

STEP 03

Get your report

In writing, the next business day: what's leaking money, what to fix first, and honestly whether software is even the answer.

See how Edge thinks

It doesn't stop at the symptom.

Most owners describe their worst problems as normal. Edge asks why it happens, then what it costs — and won't move on until it has both.

Example assessment · Plumbing company 04:47
04:12Edge  You said the phone gets missed when things are busy. Why does that happen?
04:19Owner  It's me and one person in the office, and I'm out doing estimates half the day.
04:31Edge  So whoever answers the phone is also the one doing estimates. Roughly how many go to voicemail in a week?
04:40Owner  Honestly? Fifteen. Twenty on a bad week.
04:52Edge  And what's a job worth on average, when one of those does turn into work?
Captured 15–20 missed calls/wk 1 phone, 2 roles avg job value — asking next

Illustrative example. Edge asks for the numbers before it costs anything out — it never estimates from figures you didn't give it.

What Edge finds

Six places small businesses quietly lose money.

Edge listens for all six. Most owners already suspect two or three of them.

01

Repetitive work

The same information typed twice, the same message written a hundred times, the same file renamed every Friday.

02

Missed revenue

Calls that go to voicemail, quotes nobody followed up, repeat customers nobody asked back.

03

Admin bottlenecks

Work that stops because one person has to touch it — usually you, usually after hours.

04

Disconnected systems

The booking tool, the spreadsheet, and the accounting software that all hold different versions of the truth.

05

Customer friction

The slow reply, the fourth voicemail, the form nobody finishes. Every step where a customer gives up.

06

AI opportunities

Which of the above a tool can already handle today — and which would need building, or shouldn't be touched yet.

What you get

The report is the product.

Findings you can act on, ranked — and every number shown with the arithmetic behind it.

$8,444time value / seat− $396software / month= $8,048estimated monthly value / seat after recurring costs

Illustrative assumptions for one C-level seat: 26 recovered hours per week at a $75 loaded hourly value. Actual reports use each leader's documented workload and the business's own inputs.  ·  4.33 weeks/month = 52 ÷ 12.  ·  Medium confidence

Estimated revenue impact

Not enough information to estimate reliably.

A revenue figure would need: missed calls per week × qualified-enquiry rate × close rate × average job value. Your assessment produced the first of those four. Still needed:

  • What share of missed calls are qualified enquiries rather than suppliers or existing customers
  • Your close rate on quoted work

We will not multiply missed calls by average job value. That assumes every missed call becomes a paying customer, which is not true of any business.

Estimate, not a guarantee. Figures are based on information you provided during your assessment and the assumptions shown above. Actual savings and business results depend on implementation, usage, and business conditions.

Built for honest answers

Your business stays your business.

An assessment is only useful if you can be candid on the call. Four things we hold to, so you can be.

Edge tells you it's an AI

First line of the call, before anything else — and it asks your permission to record before it starts. If you say no, the call ends and you're not charged.

The recording has one job

It exists so your report can quote you accurately instead of paraphrasing. Ask us for your recording or transcript at any time and we'll send it.

Nothing is sold on the call

Edge won't pitch you, name a tool, or quote a price — even if you ask. Anything we could help with goes in the report, where you can ignore it.

Edge won't make things up

No invented statistics, no claims about what software can do, no benchmarks from businesses like yours. If it doesn't know, it says it doesn't know.

Questions

Before you talk to Edge.

Am I talking to a real person?

No. Edge is an AI, and it says so in its first sentence. If you ask it directly at any point, it will tell you plainly. The $249 package is the one that includes time with a person — 30 minutes, after your report is written.

What actually happens in the 20 minutes?

Edge asks you to describe the business in your own words, then follows what you say. It spends the first few minutes understanding how the work flows, most of the middle finding where it breaks and what that costs, and the last couple of minutes reading back what it heard so you can correct it.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. No forms, no documents, no numbers pulled in advance. Take the call somewhere you can talk freely for twenty minutes — that's the only requirement that matters.

What if I don't know my numbers?

Ranges are fine, and Edge will offer them — "closer to five a week, or fifty?" A rough figure you'd stand behind is more useful than a precise one you guessed. Where a number genuinely isn't there, the report says so rather than inventing one.

When do I get the report, and what's in it?

The next business day. It lists what Edge found, ranked by priority, with the impact stated in your own numbers, a recommended first step for each, and a straight yes or no on whether a tool already exists or something would need building.

What if the answer isn't AI?

Then the report says that. Some of what comes up is a process problem, a staffing problem, or something not worth fixing yet — and you're better off knowing. A report that recommends nothing is a legitimate outcome.

What's the difference between $99 and $249?

The assessment and the report are identical. $249 adds a 30-minute call with one of our people after the report lands, to go through the findings and help you decide what to do first.

Will you try to sell me something afterwards?

We build AI solutions, so where we could help, the report says so — clearly marked, alongside the findings we can't help with. Buying the assessment doesn't commit you to anything, and plenty of findings point at tools we have nothing to do with.

You already know where your business hurts. Find out what it's costing you.

Twenty minutes on the phone. A written report the next business day.
