You do not have an AI problem. You have a where-do-I-start problem.

60 minutes. One worksheet. The three workflows you should automate this month.

Every business owner who hires my agency comes in saying the same thing. "I know AI matters. I just do not know what to do with it in MY business." This toolkit is the audit I run before any implementation. Spend 60 minutes with it and you walk out with a ranked list of workflows to automate, what each is worth in dollars, and the prompt to start each one Monday morning.

01The scoring method

Three numbers tell you which workflow to automate first.

Most owners who try to audit themselves get the first two right and skip the third. That is why their first AI project takes six weeks, saves a few hours, and they decide AI is overhyped. The toolkit gives you the full matrix and the 12 workflows pre-scored for a typical small business operation.

Four steps. One worksheet. Done before dinner.

List your weekly tasks

Walk through the last 14 days of your calendar and inbox. Write down every task that took more than 15 minutes.

Rate each task on Impact, Effort, Frequency from 1 to 5. The toolkit does the math.

Pick the top three

Sort by score. The top three rows are your queue for this quarter. Everything else gets a tag.

Start workflow one

Open the 12-prompt library, copy the matching prompt, run it in Claude or ChatGPT. Ship before Monday.

Case · Anonymized

She found a $5,000-per-year automation in 60 minutes.

The win was not glamorous. It was the client intake process. 25 new clients a month, 45 minutes of manual copy-paste each, eating 20-plus hours a month of someone billed at $32 an hour. We mapped it, automated 80% with Make plus Claude, and the team now spends three hours a month instead of 25. Same headcount. Better experience. Lower cost.

Done-for-you upgrade

Want me to run the audit on your business instead? The done-for-you version is the AI Audit at $497. A 60-minute call, a written report ranked by dollar value, the tool stack and prompt for each top workflow, plus a follow-up call two weeks later to make sure you shipped the first one. The toolkit is included. Reply to your receipt after you grab the toolkit if that is a better fit.

05Honest questions

Things people ask before they buy.

I do not have 60 minutes. Is there a faster version?

The audit itself is 60 minutes the first time you run it. After that, it is 15 minutes a quarter to update your list. The first 60 is the cost. Everything that comes after is compounding.

Will this work if I have not used any AI tools yet?

Especially if you have not. The audit tells you which workflows to automate first. You do not need a tool stack to run the audit. The prompt library shows you which tool fits each workflow once you know what to attack.

What is the difference between this and the $497 Audit?

Same method. With the toolkit you do the work yourself in 60 minutes. With the $497 Audit, I do the work for you in 90 minutes, you get a written report ranked by dollar value, and you get one follow-up call two weeks later to make sure the first workflow actually shipped.

Will the workflows you list match my business?

The 12 pre-scored workflows cover the patterns we see in almost every 5 to 50 person operation. Client intake, weekly status reports, the recurring email you keep retyping, expense receipts, scheduling, content repurposing, and similar. The worksheet is generic enough to score anything else specific to you.

Is this written by a person or AI?

Written by me, Emmanuel, drafted in my voice, edited in my voice, shipped from my desk. AI helped with formatting and some clean-up. The thinking and the method are mine.

I have run this audit on every paying client at Chimney Studios for the last two years. The toolkit is the audit I would charge $497 for, written down so you can do it yourself in one evening. If the audit method is the engine, the toolkit is the manual. The reason I wrote it: most small business owners do not have $497 to spend on an audit, but they all have 60 minutes and a worksheet they can fill out.
