Your Systems Analysis

Tell me what you actually run today, and you get a free report back on where an AI workforce or automation would genuinely help you, and where it would not. It is written against your answers, not a generic list.

About ten minutes. Please note, by filling this in you agree to me receiving your answers. You get the report, and I get to see what people building a solo practice are really running.

Answer quickly. First instinct is the useful one, and there is no wrong answer anywhere in this.

Where you are

Something you actually sit down and do: writing the newsletter, chasing an invoice, writing up notes after a call, getting a proposal out. If your first thought is "finding clients" or "not enough time", go one level down and name the part of it you actually do.

What do you actually sell?

Tick everything that applies.

What your practice knows

A pricing sheet, a client tracker, standing notes on how you run a call, a proposal template, a page describing your offer, an onboarding checklist. If the honest answer is nothing, write nothing.

Where are you with AI today?

Filling the room

Do you run anything live?

Workshops, webinars, calls with a group, anything with a date on it.

Write n/a if you do not run anything live.

Write n/a if you do not run one.

The message

How does your content get produced?
Does anything go out to a list regularly?

The offer and the money

How do you decide the price of a new piece of work?
Is your offer written down somewhere you can send to somebody?

The call

What do you run calls on?
After a call, what happens to the notes?

Getting paid

How does a proposal or quote reach somebody?
How do you keep track of what you have sold and what you have spent?

Two questions that decide most of it

Which ONE place actually holds what you know about a client?

Not what you own. What you would open if you had a call in ten minutes.

Does what you write down get reused?

Where people reach you

Where do people actually contact you?

Tick everything that happens, not everything that is possible.

Where the hours go

Roughly. A band is enough, and a rough band beats a precise guess. Every hour we claim back later is measured against these, so please do not skip a row.

Last few

Having just been through all that, how would you rate your own AI workforce and automation, 1 to 10?

1 is nothing, all of it is you. 10 is most of it running without you. First instinct.

If you were going to close the gaps, would you rather build it yourself or have it built for you?

There is nothing to buy here. It changes what I recommend, because the two need different advice.

This one is a hard line, not a preference. Nothing recommended to you will touch it.

Your answers go to Lisa and are used to write your report. They are not published, not shared and not used as an example anywhere. What she takes from them is the pattern across everybody, never your name.

That is in.
