Tier 3 — Multiplier

AI Consulting Retainer

Strategic AI implementation — for established clients and referrals ready to go beyond the first automation and build real operational leverage.

Who this is for

Service businesses and consultants who've seen AI work in their operation and are ready to go further. Typically existing clients who've had a website or automation in place for at least three months, or direct referrals from them.

This is not a tool subscription — it's a working relationship. You get a dedicated partner who builds and maintains your AI stack over time, not a one-time project delivered and forgotten.

What you get

A monthly retainer structured around three core deliverables — strategy, implementation, and training. Every month, you get a clear picture of what's working, something new built and deployed, and your team actually using it.

Monthly Strategy Session

A two-hour recorded video call each month. Agenda: AI tool performance, ROI tracking, and upcoming automation priorities. You'll receive a written summary with action items within 48 hours.

  • AI tool performance review against actual business metrics
  • ROI tracking — hours saved, leads captured, cost per inquiry
  • Prioritized list of automation opportunities for the next 90 days
  • Recorded and transcribed — nothing falls through the cracks
Typical outcome: Clear direction on what to build next, with business justification — not guesswork.

Automation Implementation

One workflow built and deployed each month. Scope is set in the strategy session based on the highest-impact opportunity identified. You own every workflow delivered — no vendor lock-in.

  • Scoped and approved in the monthly strategy session
  • Built on n8n, Zapier, or Claude API depending on fit
  • Examples: email triage, lead routing, appointment reminders, follow-up sequences
  • Tested, documented, and handed over before the month closes
Typical outcome: A growing stack of automations that compound over time — each one building on the last.

Tool Audit & Staff Training

Quarterly audit of every AI tool in use — cost, actual ROI, and whether a better option exists. Plus up to one hour per month with your team to train them on new tools and workflows.

  • Quarterly: every tool reviewed for cost and actual ROI
  • Replacement candidates flagged before you're locked into bad contracts
  • Up to 1 hour/month of team training — recorded, with written docs
  • Async email support with 24-hour response between sessions
Typical outcome: Team actually using the tools, not just paying for them.

What's included every month

The retainer is fixed-scope, not open-ended. Every month, you get the same three deliverables — strategy session, one automation, and training support — plus ongoing async access between sessions.

2-hour strategy session

Recorded, transcribed, and summarized with action items — delivered within 48 hours of the call.

One automation per month

Scoped in the strategy session, built and delivered before the month closes. Tested and documented.

Staff training (up to 1 hr/mo)

Recorded walkthroughs with written documentation. No training that can't be replayed.

Async email support

24-hour response time for questions between sessions. No support tickets, no queues.
