AI Problem Advisory · Door Two

Bring me the problem.
Not the solution.

“Something isn't working properly. Could AI help us solve this differently?”

One specific problem, bottleneck, recurring frustration or expensive inefficiency. In 45 minutes, you'll know what's actually going on — and whether AI changes how you could approach it.

01This is for you if it sounds familiar

You'll know it when you read it.

01

This process keeps taking too long.

02

Important knowledge is scattered everywhere.

03

Our team keeps repeating the same work.

04

Information exists but nobody can find or use it properly.

05

This task consumes hours every week.

06

We keep getting stuck at the same point.

07

A process has become unnecessarily complicated.

08

We think automation might help, but we don't know if we're solving the right problem.

Or, simplest of all: something clearly isn't working, but you're too close to it to see why.

The first question isn't “what should we automate?”

It's “what is actually going on here?” We don't assume AI is the answer — we find out.

02What we investigate

One problem, examined properly.

You bring the situation. I don't start by pitching tools — I start by understanding what's actually happening, together with you.

What are you actually trying to accomplish?
Where does the friction really sit?
What might be causing it — and what assumptions are we making?
What's consuming unnecessary human attention?
What information or knowledge is missing, scattered or inaccessible?
Could AI augment the human process here — or would automation actually help?
What should stay human?
Is the problem you named the real one, or a symptom of something else?
03What you leave with

Not a promise to fix it. A clearer view of it.

I'm not going to promise that every problem gets solved in one call — that would be a different, less honest kind of service. What I can promise is that you'll see the situation differently than when you walked in.

You see the real problem.

A concise written synthesis: what we uncovered, the assumptions worth questioning, and the reframe if the problem wasn't quite what you thought it was. Something you can act on this week, not a report that sits in a drawer.

We decide if it's worth going deeper.

Sometimes 45 minutes is enough to see the next move. Occasionally the real problem needs a closer look than one call allows. When that's true, I'll say so plainly, and we scope a piece of investigation together — never assumed, never packaged in advance.

04Is this the right door?

Fit, both ways.

This is for you if
  • You're carrying a problem that's bigger than the time you have for it
  • You suspect AI could help, but you don't know if you're solving the right thing
  • You'd rather understand the problem than buy the first solution offered
  • You've tried a tool or a consultant already, and you're still stuck
This probably isn't for you if
  • You already know exactly what to build and just need it built
  • You want someone to take ownership of fixing it for you
  • You're looking for the cheapest way to automate headcount away
The session at a glance
You bring
One problemA bottleneck, frustration or inefficiency. No prep required.
Format
45 minutesOnline, one to one. Recorded if you want it.
You receive
A written synthesisWithin one working day. The real problem, what's worth questioning, and the smallest next step.
Investment
$195One flat fee. Nothing further unless you want it.
Commitment
Single callNo retainer, no package. We decide together if there's more.

If deeper investigation is warranted, we scope that separately — by agreement, never by default.

I investigate the problem. You keep the solution.

I don't build the fix, and I'm not responsible for executing whatever emerges. If a technical build or specialist skill is what's needed, I'll help you see that clearly — and point you to the right person.

What this looks like in practice.

Seeing the real problem, fast

Jacqueline got right to the heart of my biggest business problem — which was giving me nightmares — and gave me a solution in one phone call. She knows how to cut through the noise and save you so much time and headaches.

Jacqueline can make the difference between being stuck for two months or two days — and that difference matters a lot.

These reflect the same judgment — cutting through noise, finding the real problem — now applied to AI-era situations.

Before you book

Questions people ask before this one

Will you actually solve my problem in the call?

Sometimes, yes — the reframe alone is enough to see the next move. Often the value is a clearer view of what's really happening, which questions matter, and what to try first. I won't promise a fix I can't guarantee; I will promise honest attention to the actual problem.

What if AI isn't the answer?

Then that's the answer. Part of the value of this session is not defaulting to automation. If the real fix is a process change, a conversation, or leaving something alone, I'll tell you that.

Do I need to know what to automate before I book?

No — if you already knew that, you wouldn't need this session. Bring the friction as you experience it. Working out what (if anything) to automate is part of the work, not a prerequisite for it.

What happens after the session?

You get a written synthesis within a working day. If nothing further is needed, that's the whole engagement. If something deserves closer investigation, we'll talk about scoping that separately — on its own terms, not as an upsell baked into the call.
