AI Advisory & Implementation
AI adoption is accelerating. Most businesses still don't have a plan.
A paid, vendor-neutral engagement that finds the two or three workflows where AI actually pays for itself — then implements them. Starting with a $2,500 AI Opportunity & Readiness Assessment, with implementation scaled to your size and scope. Not sure yet? Call us — every conversation under 15 minutes is free.
What AI actually does for your business
Stop guessing where the value is. Here it is.
Most companies don't need a chatbot. They need the repetitive work handled faster, with fewer errors, and with their people freed up to think. These are the outcomes we build toward.
Typical impact for the businesses we work with
These are benchmark ranges from McKinsey, Deloitte-adjacent research, and real mid-market implementations — not guarantees, but realistic starting points for the assessment.

Working capital moves too. One mid-market distributor used AI for pricing and inventory — freeing $5M in trapped capital and delivering a 7x ROI within 9 months.
Start here
AI Opportunity & Readiness Assessment — starts at $2,500
A workflow audit, a readiness score, and three to five prioritized opportunities with estimated payback. You leave with a plan you can act on, whether or not we build it.
Engagement path
Clear phases, clear pricing.
Each phase stands on its own. Nothing gets sold before the findings justify it.
Need a full custom enterprise engagement?
Complex integrations, multi-location rollouts, and bespoke AI builds are scoped and quoted individually. We'll build a proposal that fits your requirements.
AI Opportunity & Readiness Assessment
$2,500
A workflow audit, readiness score, and three to five prioritized AI opportunities ranked by effort and payback. Most companies start here — and many stop here with a plan they can execute internally.
- Workflow and data readiness audit
- Readiness score across systems, data, and team capacity
- 3–5 prioritized opportunities with estimated payback
- Findings session with leadership
Strategy & Roadmap
$5,000 – $15,000
Average range for ROI modeling, a sequenced adoption plan, and vendor selection. Complex multi-workflow roadmaps can exceed this depending on scope.
- ROI model per use case
- Sequenced 6–12 month roadmap
- Vendor evaluation and shortlist
- Governance and data-handling guardrails
Implementation
$15,000 – $250,000+
Most SMB and mid-market builds fall between $15,000 and $50,000. Larger enterprise deployments with multiple integrations, custom development, or complex data work typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 or more. Scoped from findings — never sold cold.
- Configuration and integration
- Team training and adoption support
- Baseline vs. actual measurement
- Handoff documentation
Fractional AI Advisor
$3,500 – $7,000 / month
Ongoing governance, prioritization, and vendor management for teams that want senior AI judgment on retainer instead of another headcount.
- Monthly prioritization and roadmap upkeep
- Vendor and licensing management
- Policy and governance oversight
- Leadership reporting
Who this fits
Best fit for mid-sized operators.
- 20–250 employees, $5M–$100M revenue
- Existing systems in place, no internal AI team
- Repetitive admin workflows: quoting, intake, scheduling, reporting
- Leadership ready to act on findings, not just study them
Manufacturing
Quoting and RFQ intake, production reporting, quality documentation, and supplier correspondence.
Professional services
Proposal drafting, client intake, research summarization, and time and billing hygiene.
Trades & construction
Estimate prep, submittal and RFI handling, field reporting, and scheduling coordination.
Distribution & logistics
Order intake, exception handling, carrier communication, and inventory reporting.
Common questions
What leadership teams ask us first.
Why does this cost money when your IT advisory work is free?
Good Wolf Technology's technology advisory work is vendor-funded — providers compensate us when you select them, so audits and negotiations typically cost you nothing. AI Advisory & Implementation is professional consulting work with no vendor funding it, so it's a paid engagement. Different model, same independence.
Do we have to buy the whole progression?
No. Each phase stands on its own. Plenty of clients take the assessment and execute internally. Implementation is only ever scoped from real findings.
Which AI platforms do you recommend?
Whichever fits your data, security, and integration requirements. We stay vendor-neutral and evaluate options across our provider network rather than reselling one platform.
What if our data isn't ready?
That's exactly what the readiness score tells you. We'll be direct about which use cases are viable now and which require cleanup first.
How long does the assessment take?
Typically two to three weeks from kickoff to findings session, depending on how many workflows are in scope and how quickly we can get time with the people who do the work.
