Buy the diagnosis before you buy the build.
AI strategy consulting starts with your quoting, follow-up and back-office work before any build is recommended or priced.
Not ready to pay for a diagnosis? The free diagnostic names two or three jobs worth looking at.
- What you keep
- A written report of 20 to 30 pages: the operations map, two prioritised recommendations, and a fixed quote for the first build.
- How long
- 2 to 3 weeks, kickoff to readout call.
- Terms
- A fixed fee agreed in writing before the work begins. GST included.
Evidence

Where this step sits.
If you ran the diagnostic, the audit starts from the jobs it named.
- Operations diagnosticTwo or three gaps, written from your own answers.
- Operations auditA paid diagnosis with a usable artefact at the end.
- Scoped pilotA fixed-fee production pilot, bounded before the build starts.
- Run and tuneOngoing ownership for a live operating layer.
How the audit runs.
See the work
Discovery follows the process across people and systems, including the exceptions that usually disappear from a sales brief.
Score the opportunities
Each candidate is judged on operational value, feasibility, risk and the controls required for responsible use.
Leave with a decision
The final record includes prioritised recommendations and a scoped pilot option. An agreed audit credit can carry into an approved pilot started within 60 days.
Start with the work that keeps returning.
- Part of the audit fee credits a pilot, or the full fee credits your first month of retainer, if you start within 60 days. Credited once, not both.
- Chris Nicolaou does the work, and you have his direct number.
- What you send stays with SynergAI. It goes into our own private records, it is not sold and it is not passed on.
About the operations audit.
- Why is the audit paid?
- It is a real piece of operational work, not speculative discovery. The evidence, recommendations and scoped path remain yours whether or not a later engagement begins.
- What happens if we stop after the audit?
- You keep the audit record and recommendations. They can guide internal work, a later decision or a different delivery partner.
- How long does the audit take?
- 2 to 3 weeks. Week one is discovery across your people, tools and process. Week two maps it and scores the opportunities. Week three delivers the written report, the recommendations and the quote, with a readout call.
- What happens to our staff?
- Routine steps move to the agent. Exceptions, judgement and client relationships stay with your people. The audit names which is which, job by job.
