Everyone’s talking about AI for business.
Most are doing it wrong.
They’re using generic ChatGPT prompts. Hoping AI automates their work. Expecting magic without strategy.
Then they’re disappointed when it doesn’t deliver.
Here’s what actually works. A 30-day sprint that extracts your founder intelligence and builds customized AI systems designed specifically for your business.
Not theory. Not hype. Proven methodology with real results.
Why Most AI Integration Fails
The failure pattern is predictable.
Founders hear about AI. They experiment with ChatGPT. They try prompts for emails, social posts, maybe some client deliverables.
The results are generic. Obviously AI-generated. Missing nuance and strategic insight.
So they conclude AI doesn’t work for their business. Or worse, they waste months trying different tools hoping to find the magic one.
The problem isn’t the technology. It’s the approach.
Generic AI gives generic results. Customized AI trained on your specific intelligence gives strategic results.
That distinction changes everything.
What the 30-Day Sprint Includes
This isn’t about learning AI tools. It’s about extracting intelligence and building systems.
The sprint has four phases. Each designed to capture specific layers of founder intelligence and deploy them into working AI systems.
Week one: Strategy and extraction. We map your business model, identify bottlenecks, and extract your founder intelligence across four layers—strategic frameworks, market knowledge, client insights, and brand voice.
Week two: System design and training. We build customized AI systems trained specifically on your intelligence. Not generic tools. Systems that think like you, analyze like you, and communicate like you.
Week three: Integration and testing. We deploy these systems into your actual workflows. Client delivery, content creation, strategic analysis—whatever consumes your time.
Week four: Refinement and handoff. We test, adjust, and ensure systems are delivering at the quality level your business requires. Then we hand you complete control.
30 days. Strategy to working system.
The Intelligence Extraction Process
The sprint starts with extraction. Not documentation. Extraction.
We’re not creating process manuals. We’re capturing the intelligence behind your strategic thinking.
How do you analyze a client situation? What patterns do you recognize? What questions do you ask to uncover real problems? How do you decide which strategy to recommend?
This intelligence is usually invisible. You use it instinctively. But you’ve never articulated it systematically.
Extraction makes it visible. And more importantly, systematizable.
Once we’ve captured your founder intelligence, we layer in market intelligence, client intelligence, and brand intelligence.
These four layers become the foundation for everything we build.
Custom AI System Architecture
Generic AI tools can’t replicate your strategic thinking. They’re trained on everything, which means they’re expert at nothing.
Custom AI systems are trained specifically on your intelligence.
They learn your frameworks. Your decision patterns. Your communication style. Your strategic approach.
The difference between generic and custom is the difference between a first-year associate and a senior strategist.
One gives you surface-level output that requires heavy editing. The other gives you strategic work that sounds exactly like you created it personally.
Real Implementation Examples
One client was spending 15-plus hours weekly on competitive analyses for Fortune 100 clients.
We extracted his market intelligence and analytical frameworks. Built a custom AI system trained on his methodology.
Now those analyses complete in seconds. Same strategic depth. Same quality his clients expect. Fraction of the time.
Another client was trapped in proposal writing. Every new client required hours crafting customized strategy recommendations.
We extracted his founder intelligence around client assessment and strategic planning. Built systems that generate client-specific proposals based on his frameworks.
His proposal time dropped from 4 hours to 30 minutes. With better strategic clarity than his manual versions.
These aren’t edge cases. This is the standard outcome when intelligence is properly extracted and systematized.
The Training That Makes It Work
Building custom AI systems isn’t about technical complexity. It’s about strategic design.
The AI needs to understand not just what you know, but how you think.
That requires careful training. Feeding the system examples of your strategic work. Your client communications. Your analytical process. Your decision frameworks.
The more intelligence you extract and train on, the more sophisticated the system becomes.
This isn’t one-and-done. It’s iterative refinement until the system is delivering at the quality level your business requires.
Most founders don’t have time to figure this out alone. The sprint compresses what would take you months into 30 days.
Integration Into Existing Workflows
The goal isn’t to replace your workflows. It’s to augment them.
AI systems should slot into existing processes and remove bottlenecks without forcing you to completely redesign how you operate.
Client strategy sessions still happen. But prep work that used to take you 2 hours now takes 10 minutes.
Content creation still happens. But drafting that consumed your evenings now generates in minutes.
Strategic analysis still happens. But research that required weeks now completes in seconds.
Your workflow looks similar. But the time investment drops dramatically.
The Quality Control Phase
Here’s what separates working systems from failed experiments.
Quality control. Testing. Refinement.
We don’t hand you a system and hope it works. We test it against your standards. Refine it until output matches your expectations. Iterate until you’re confident deploying it with clients.
This phase is critical. It’s the difference between interesting experiment and business-changing tool.
Most founders skip this phase when they try AI integration alone. They get 80% solutions that aren’t quite good enough, so they abandon them.
The sprint builds in quality control as a non-negotiable phase.
What You Control After 30 Days
At the end of the sprint, you own complete control of the systems.
No ongoing dependencies. No black-box technology you don’t understand. No vendor lock-in.
You know how the systems work. How to refine them. How to train them on new intelligence as your business evolves.
The sprint gives you both the systems and the strategic knowledge to maintain and improve them independently.
Why 30 Days vs 6 Months
You could try to build this yourself. Many founders do.
They spend months experimenting. Testing tools. Building systems that don’t quite work. Iterating without a proven framework.
Some eventually figure it out. Most give up before getting there.
The 30-day sprint compresses that timeline by following proven methodology.
We’ve done this repeatedly. We know what works, what fails, and how to design systems that deliver from day one.
One client said it perfectly: “I easily compressed three years into eighteen months. I could have never done this, and so quickly, without you.”
That’s the timeline leverage of working with proven methodology instead of experimenting alone.
The ROI Reality
The sprint requires investment. Time and money.
But the ROI calculation is straightforward.
How many hours per week do you currently spend on work that could be systematized? Multiply that by your effective hourly rate.
For most successful founders and consultants, that’s 10-20 hours weekly at high hourly value.
The sprint pays for itself in weeks. Then keeps delivering leverage for years.
Who This Works For
This model isn’t for everyone.
It works for founders who’ve proven their methodology. Who have clear expertise worth extracting. Who are trapped not by lack of skill but by time constraints.
If you’re pre-revenue or still figuring out your business model, this isn’t your next step.
But if you’re delivering great work, generating strong revenue, and hitting capacity limits—this is exactly the leverage you need.
The 2026 Opportunity
In 2026, I’m running limited 30-day AI Integration Sprints for select founders.
Small group. Highly customized. Focused on extracting your intelligence and building systems that actually scale your business.
If you’re ready to move from overwhelmed operator to strategic architect, this is your opportunity.
Space is intentionally limited. This work requires deep customization. I can only do it well with a small number of clients.
If that’s you, let’s talk.
