How It Works
We designed our engagement process to be as low-risk as possible. Every step is free until you decide to move forward — and every project after that is fixed-fee.
Answer 12 targeted questions about your business operations, current tools, and biggest pain points. Our AI analysis engine processes your responses and generates a personalized report showing your top AI opportunities ranked by ROI.
Pace reviews your assessment results and joins you on a focused 30-minute call to walk through your opportunities, answer questions, and help you decide if and where to start. No selling — just strategy.
If we're a good fit, we deliver a detailed fixed-fee proposal with a clear scope, timeline, deliverables, and success metrics. No vague retainer agreements — you'll know exactly what you're getting before you spend a dollar.
We build and deploy your first AI solution in 2 weeks. This is a real, working system — not a proof of concept. Your team is trained, the solution is live, and you start seeing results before the month is out.
Once your Quick Win is delivering results, we move to the next opportunity on your roadmap. Monthly retainer clients get priority access, ongoing optimization, and a fractional AI advisor who knows your business inside out.
From assessment to live Quick Win, the typical timeline is 3–5 weeks: a few days for the strategy call and proposal, then 2 weeks to build and deploy. Most clients are seeing results within a month of first contact.
Some projects genuinely require a Full Build engagement from the beginning — and that's fine. The strategy call helps us figure out what's right. Full Builds typically run 4–10 weeks and are still fixed-fee.
Yes — we work with clients across the US. The assessment, strategy call, and most delivery work happens remotely. For Charlotte clients, we're happy to meet in person.
The assessment covers your current tools and workflows, your team size and tech comfort, your biggest operational bottlenecks, and your goals. It's 12 questions — takes 2 minutes — and the analysis is personalized to your answers.
We define success metrics before we start. If the solution isn't performing against those metrics, we fix it — that's included in the 30-day post-launch support. We won't call something done until it's actually working.
How we build
None of them are exciting. All of them are why a system is still working a year later, and why handing it back to you is not a cliff edge.
The parts of a system you will want to adjust — hours, policies, wording, what is allowed to happen automatically — are settings rather than code. If changing your own business rules means booking our time, we built it wrong.
Our deployments authenticate without a long-lived credential file existing anywhere. There is nothing sitting in a repository or on somebody’s laptop to leak, rotate, or forget about.
You keep your own payment processor and your own merchant relationship. We do not sit between you and your customers’ money, so nothing we build can interrupt your ability to get paid.
Where a system needs access to your email or your calendar, you grant it from your own administrator account, and you can withdraw it the same way without waiting on us.
