You know you need AI. No one is guiding the strategy.
The big consulting firms hand over a report and leave. Dev shops build tools nobody asked for. Around 80% of AI projects fail, and most of them fail for the same reason: they skip strategy and jump straight to building.
The gap is structural. Strategy consultants cannot build. Engineering teams are not set up to secure proprietary data or tie work to outcomes. AI Compass was built to close that gap, from strategy through go-live.
One fixed-fee audit. A roadmap you can act on.
In two to three weeks, we map where AI will actually move your business, rank every opportunity by impact and effort, and hand you an ROI-backed 90-day roadmap. The roadmap is yours to keep, whether or not you build it with us.
Three steps along the compass.
Built on Strategize, Productize, Optimize, the framework behind every Product Led Automation engagement.
The Opportunity Matrix
Every opportunity scored on two axes, so you can see at a glance what to do first and what to leave alone.
High effort, low impact. The time and money pits. Naming these is part of the value.
High effort, high impact. The transformative builds, sequenced after the quick wins earn trust.
Low effort, low impact. Worth doing, never the headline.
Low effort, high impact. Where we start, to prove value fast and build momentum.
Clarity, momentum, and value you can measure.
Interview synthesis
A clear pain-point inventory from leadership and the people doing the work.
Operations map
Your core workflows, with every time-sink and quality risk tagged.
Prioritized Opportunity Matrix

Questions, answered.
What is the AI Compass Audit?
A fixed-fee, time-boxed assessment that finds your highest-ROI AI opportunities, ranks them by business impact and implementation effort, and delivers an ROI-backed 90-day roadmap. The roadmap is yours to keep, whether or not you build with us.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
The audit starts at $10,000 as a fixed fee, scoped on an intro call. It typically runs two to three weeks from kickoff to the executive readout.
What do we walk away with?
An interview synthesis and pain-point inventory, an operations map, a prioritized Opportunity Matrix, briefs on your top three opportunities, a 90-day implementation roadmap, and an executive presentation with the ROI case.
Is our data safe?
Yes. AI Compass is delivered with VocalPoint Consulting, whose governance, sovereign hosting, cloud, and IT infrastructure expertise means data stays in your control with compliance considered from day one, not bolted on later.
What if we have already tried AI and it stalled?
That is the common case. Most AI projects stall because they start with tools instead of strategy. The audit starts with your workflows and the friction your team actually feels, then ties every recommendation to a measurable business outcome.
