AI & Process Audit · For small business
Cut through the AI hype. Find out what's actually worth fixing.
A paid audit of how your business actually runs - what's costing you time and money, and what's genuinely worth automating with AI versus a simpler fix. No retainer, no jargon, nothing to buy at the end unless you want to.
The problem
The AI consultant market is full of noise.
Everyone is suddenly an "AI expert"
Consultants who were selling social media management last year are selling AI strategy this year. Most of it is the same pitch with new words.
You do not know what is actually worth automating
Some of what is eating your time needs a $10k build. Some of it needs a $20/mo tool you already have access to. Nobody selling you AI has a reason to tell you which is which.
The wrong answer is another subscription
Sign up for the trendy AI platform and you have just added another tool to the pile, another login, another monthly bill, and still no idea if it actually helped.
Pricing
One price. Credited if you build.
AI & Process Audit
From $10,000
Credited in full toward implementation if you decide to proceed
- +A full walkthrough of how your business actually runs
- +A clear breakdown of what is costing you time and money
- +A straight answer on what is worth automating with AI versus a simpler fix
- +A written report, not a sales deck
- +No obligation to buy anything afterward
Audits start at $10,000, scoped on the discovery call. If you decide to implement what the audit finds, the full fee comes off the cost of the build.
Why not a generic AI consultant
Independence costs more than a free audit, and is worth it.
Most "free audits" are a sales pitch
If the audit costs nothing, the recommendation was decided before they looked at your business - it is whatever software they get paid to sell you.
Jargon is not insight
"Leverage AI-powered synergies" tells you nothing. You get plain numbers: this costs you this many hours a week, fixing it costs this much, here is exactly how.
Independent means honest
I do not resell a specific AI platform, so there is no commission riding on the recommendation. If the answer is "do nothing," that is the answer.
How it works
Three steps. A straight answer at the end.
Book
A short call before anything starts
We talk through your business first, so the audit itself is not spent explaining the basics. No cost, no obligation.
Audit
A working session mapping how you actually run
Where the time goes, where the money leaks, what is manual that should not be. We look at your actual workflow, not a generic checklist.
Report
A plain-English breakdown, in writing
What is costing you, what is genuinely worth fixing, and whether that means AI, simple automation, or nothing at all. Yours to keep either way.

About
Hi, I'm Dan.
I started DeeMedia building websites and running ads for trades businesses. That work taught me what local business owners actually need. Not more subscriptions, but tools built around how they already work.
Years of building internal tools and software for local businesses taught me the same lesson over and over: businesses buying software that does not fit, or missing the automation that would have saved them hours a week. That is what the audit is for. I keep my client list small so every audit and build gets my full attention. You deal with me directly. Not a sales rep, not a project manager, not a junior developer.

FAQ
Common questions.
No. I do not resell any AI or automation software, so there is no commission riding on what I recommend. If the honest answer is "you do not need this," that is what you get.
Then you get an honest report saying so, and you have saved yourself from buying software or a build you did not need. That outcome is worth the fee on its own.
Yes. The full audit fee comes off the cost of implementation if you decide to go ahead. If you do not proceed, you keep the report either way.
A short call to book in, then a working session to map your business, then a written report within a few business days.
Then that is what the report says. The goal is the right answer for your business, not a reason to build something you do not need.
Where audits lead
Not every audit ends in a build. When it does, here is what that looks like - not the entry point, just what comes next if that is the answer.
Implementation
When the audit says build something, this is what that looks like
Not every audit ends in a build. When it does, you get a real system built around how your business actually works, not another subscription bolted on top of the rest.
The problem
Still stitching together a dozen tools?
Paying $500+ a month in SaaS subscriptions?
Booking software, payment processing, CRM, email platform, scheduling tool. Each one $50-150/mo and none of them talk to each other properly.
Off-the-shelf does not fit your business
You have bent your workflow to fit the software instead of the other way around. Features you do not need, gaps where you do.
You do not actually own anything
Cancel the subscription and your data walks out the door. Price goes up? You are locked in. Platform shuts down? Good luck.

Implementation FAQ
Implementation questions.
Most single-workflow builds take 8-12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Multi-workflow builds take longer. We will give you a clear timeline once the audit has scoped what is actually needed.
Yes. Everything we build is yours: code, workflows, data, all of it. No licensing fees, no lock-in.
Not necessarily. Most implementations connect to what you already have rather than ripping it out - the audit tells us which of your existing tools are worth keeping.
Yes. Most clients start with the one workflow costing them the most, then come back for the next one once they have seen it working.
Implementation and a website are separate things - this can work alongside your existing site. We will figure out the right approach in the audit.
