Frequently asked questions
Can consultants deploy AI in 5 days?
Yes — general AI, research, knowledge management, CRM, and admin all deploy in 5 focused days. After day 5: working stack with 10-15 hours/week recovered.
What's the cost?
$100-200/month for basic consultant AI stack. Among most accessible professional services AI investments.
Highest-impact day?
Day 1 (general AI) — single highest-impact deployment. Claude or ChatGPT transforms multiple workflows.
Do consultants need specialized tools?
Generally no. General professional tools (Claude, Perplexity, Notion, HubSpot) cover most needs. Industry-specific tools rarely justify cost over solid general stack.
What if I can't dedicate 5 full days?
Deploy across 2-3 weeks. Each day's work is independent. Start with general AI; add others as time permits.
