The vetting bar

"Vetted" on most platforms means they filled out a form. On AIScout it means we've reviewed actual shipped work — not pitch decks, not course certificates, not LinkedIn endorsements. Every specialist on our roster has shipped production AI in a real business context, can point to the specific outcome it produced, and has provided references we've spoken to directly.

What we check

  • Portfolio of real, shipped AI projects (not demos)
  • At least one reference from a client or employer
  • Scoped track record — they know their specific domain
  • Specific, measurable outcomes (time saved, revenue, error rate)

What we reject

  • Generic AI course certificates with no production experience
  • Profiles without specific client outcomes
  • Consultants who've "advised on AI" but haven't shipped it
  • Anyone who can't explain what they built and why it worked

We're currently onboarding our first cohort of specialist firms. All initial assessments are led by our founding team.

The $2,000 assessment

The assessment is a fixed-scope engagement, not a sales call. We spend time in your business, map your actual workflows, and come back with a written document — not a slide deck, not vague recommendations. You walk away knowing exactly what's worth building, what isn't, and roughly what it costs.

What you receive

Written findings documentA structured report of where AI can create real leverage in your specific operations.

Prioritized opportunity listRanked by impact and implementation difficulty — what to do first and why.

What not to buildExplicit list of AI use cases that look promising but won't pay off at your scale or with your data.

Who should build itRecommendation on team type (in-house, specialist, tool) and rough cost range for each priority.

This is not a consulting pitch that upsells you into a six-month retainer. The report is the product. If it recommends you hire someone, that recommendation will tell you what kind of person, at what rate, for what scope — not "you need ongoing AIScout services."

Timeline: kickoff to deliverable in 2 weeks

We scope short by design. Long discovery engagements inflate cost and delay the only thing that matters — making a decision about what to build. Here's how two weeks breaks down:

Day 1–2

Kickoff call + workflow audit

60-minute call to map your current operations. We identify the top 3–5 areas where you or your team spend the most time on repetitive, decision-light work.

Days 3–8

Research + analysis

We research what's actually been built in your industry, what the implementation cost looks like, and what realistic ROI looks like at your business size. No scope creep — this is bounded.

Days 9–12

Draft → review cycle

You get a draft of the findings document. One round of feedback. We address your questions, clarify assumptions, and finalize the recommendations.

Day 14

Final deliverable delivered

Written report in your inbox. Followed by a 30-minute walkthrough call to answer any questions before you decide what to do next.

After the assessment

The report is yours — no strings, no follow-on commitment. Most firms use it one of three ways:

Build it yourself

Use the report as a spec. Your internal team or a freelancer of your choice implements the recommendations. We're done.

Get matched to a specialist

If you want help building, we'll match you to a vetted specialist for the specific project — scoped and priced upfront. No agency markup.

Park it for now

The timing isn't right, the cost isn't there yet, or you need to hire first. Put the report on the shelf. It doesn't expire.

There is no minimum spend beyond the assessment, no recurring contract, and no pressure to use AIScout for implementation. The $2K buys the clarity. What you do with it is entirely up to you.
