The Audit

What You Get

The AI audit is not a generic slide deck. It is a deep-dive into your business with specific, actionable recommendations backed by real numbers.

Full Operations Audit

We spend time inside your business — watching workflows, reviewing tools, and talking to your team. Every process gets documented and evaluated for AI potential.

AI Opportunity Map

A prioritized list of every AI opportunity in your business, ranked by ROI, implementation difficulty, and impact on daily operations.

ROI Projections

Specific dollar estimates for each automation opportunity: how much it costs to implement vs. how much it saves annually. No vague promises — real numbers.

Competitor AI Analysis

We research how your competitors and industry peers are using AI, so you know exactly where you stand and what opportunities they are exploiting that you are not.

Our Framework

How We Run the Audit

The OODA Loop keeps us fast and systematic. Originally built for military decision-making, adapted for AI strategy consulting.

We build the roadmap: which AI solutions to deploy, in what order, with ROI estimates and exact implementation costs.

A

Step 4 · Day 5-7

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI consulting and the audit process.

What is included in the $500 AI audit?

The $500 flat-rate AI audit includes a full business operations review, competitor AI analysis, a prioritized AI opportunity map with ROI projections for each opportunity, a 30/60/90 day implementation roadmap, tool recommendations with cost breakdowns, and a live walkthrough presentation with your team. You walk away knowing exactly where AI fits your business and what it will cost.

How is NYClaw.io different from other AI consultants?

Most AI consultants sell strategy decks and leave. We build what we recommend. Our consulting is designed to feed directly into implementation — every recommendation comes with a specific build plan, timeline, and cost. We also cap our client list at 5 per quarter so every engagement gets full attention. And we use the OODA Loop framework, not generic methodologies.

Do I need the audit before hiring you for automation or marketing?

Not strictly, but we recommend it. The audit ensures we are solving the right problems in the right order. Without it, you risk automating the wrong things first. That said, if you already know exactly what you need automated, we can skip straight to a build quote. The $500 audit fee gets credited toward any implementation project over $3,000.

What does the ongoing consulting retainer include?

The retainer is custom-priced based on scope and typically includes monthly strategy sessions, quarterly roadmap updates, vendor evaluation and selection support, implementation oversight, and performance tracking. It is designed for businesses that want a fractional AI strategist without hiring a full-time role. Retainer pricing starts around $1,500/month.

How long does the AI audit take?

The audit itself takes 5-7 business days from kickoff to final delivery. Day 1-2 is the discovery phase where we review your operations, tools, and team workflows. Day 3-4 is analysis and competitor research. Day 5-7 is building the deliverables and preparing the walkthrough presentation.

Is the AI audit only for businesses in Westchester County?

No. While we are based in Westchester County, NY and many of our clients are local, the audit can be conducted fully remote. We serve small businesses across NYC, the tri-state area, and nationwide. Local clients get the option of in-person discovery sessions.

Ready to see where AI fits your business?

The $500 AI audit gives you a complete roadmap — no guesswork, no ongoing commitment. Just clarity on your next move.
