Start small. Win fast. Scale smart.
Three things shaping AI adoption in BC right now.
Operational context that's worth weighing as you think about timing.
Sources cited above. These aren't our numbers... they're MIT's, BDC's, and the BCCA's.
Practical AI adoption, done with structure.
Think of how a good contractor approaches a job. They walk the site, tell you what it costs, do the work, and leave you with something that functions. That's how we approach AI adoption. We start with the realities of your operation. We design a governance policy that fits your business and your insurer. We pilot the workflows that pay off first. We measure, refine, and hand off systems your team owns.
We work with companies that have 30+ staff, real operational complexity, and margins that matter. Construction. Trades. Manufacturing. Distribution. Family-owned operating businesses based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Calm. Practical. Governed. Built for the long run.
Patterns we see in most operations.
Across the businesses we work with, certain patterns repeat. Manual handoffs that should be automated. Reports that take weeks to assemble. Tools that don't connect. Past AI pilots that stalled. We surface those patterns in your operation and design the systems that resolve them.
AI Foundation.
14 days. 12 deliverables. A Pilot ready to sign on Day 14.
We map how your business actually runs. We surface the workflows worth automating. We price the top opportunities with our technical contractor before the readout. We hand you a Pilot proposal you can sign Day 14, or take the deliverables and walk.
What ships in every Foundation
12 board-ready deliverables, grouped by where they fit in the program.
The $20,000 ROI Floor.
If we don't surface at least $20,000 of identifiable annual ROI plus a customized AI governance policy by Day 14, we refund 50% of the Foundation fee. You keep all 12 deliverables.
Reid's Auto, a 12-person operation, surfaced $94,800 of annualized workflow waste in one engagement. The floor is conservative on purpose.
Know the cost before the call.
Real questions. Real answers.
These are the conversations we have with BC operators every week.
“Where do I start?”
Take our 5-minute AI Readiness Assessment. You'll get a custom report with your readiness score, top pain points, and a recommended next step. Free. If you've already got a specific workflow you want fixed, book a triage call. We'll point you at the right entry within 30 minutes.
“How do I know the ROI is real?”
We map it. With your actual numbers. Our AI Foundation surfaces every opportunity ranked by ROI, with conservative, expected, and optimistic projections built on your real labor costs. Implementation pricing is validated by our technical contractors before the readout, so you get real CAD numbers, not estimates. If we don't surface at least $20,000 in identifiable annual ROI, we refund 50% and you keep every deliverable.
“What if we just need one workflow scoped?”
That's Workflow ROI Discovery. $2,750. Five-day sprint. Workflow map, AI fit analysis, contractor-validated implementation pricing, and a fixed-price Pilot proposal ready to sign. The $2,750 credits 100% toward the Pilot if you proceed within 30 days.
“What if we just need one thing built?”
That's a Pilot Project. One workflow. Designed, built, tested, deployed, trained, and handed off. 4 to 6 weeks. Production-stable from day one. You own everything we build. No vendor lock-in. If you like how it goes, we keep building. If not, you've still got a working system.
“We need ongoing help, not a one-off.”
That's the Strategic Retainer. We become your AI team. Starting at $5,000 per month. New systems shipped monthly. Existing systems maintained. Strategic guidance always on. You get a dedicated AI partner without hiring a department.

Foundation might be right for you if...
You run a business with 30+ staff and real operational complexity. You want AI adoption done with structure, governance, and a clear ROI model rather than scattered experiments. You'd rather a 14-day program with measurable outputs than a six-month engagement with a slide deck at the end.
If that's you, the 5-minute readiness assessment is the lowest-friction starting point. It gives you a custom report with practical next steps, free. If you'd rather skip ahead, the form below opens a 25-minute triage call where we'll confirm fit before quoting.
