Four ways to work together.
Each service is productized, scoped, and priced. No mystery quotes. No vague "AI strategy" engagements. Real deliverables, on real timelines, for real businesses.
The Providence Operational Audit
See where AI can actually move the needle.
Most business owners know they should be doing more with AI. They just don't know where to start, what's realistic, or what the actual ROI looks like for their operation. The Audit is a two-week diagnostic engagement that answers those questions with specificity.
What you get
- —90-minute intake call with you and key staff
- —3–5 days of operations observation (remote — screen shares, documentation review, team conversations)
- —A written 15–25 page report identifying the top 5 highest-ROI AI opportunities specific to your business
- —A 90-minute strategic presentation walking through findings and recommendations
- —Two follow-up email exchanges within 30 days
Who it's for: Owner-operators in healthcare, trades, retail, or professional services who want clarity before they invest in AI.

The Providence Build
The custom AI system your business actually needs.
You've identified the problem. You know AI can help. Now you need someone to actually build it — not draft slides about it. The Build is a scoped engagement that delivers working AI infrastructure to your business, deployed in your environment, with your team trained to use it.

- —Architecture document delivered in Week 1
- —Custom AI system built, tested, and deployed
- —Team training (one 2-hour session plus recorded materials)
- —30 days of post-launch support and tuning
- —Source code and workflow access — you own what we build

4–6 weeks · $6,500 (with documented add-ons for additional integrations, dashboards, or multi-location rollouts)
The Providence Stewardship Retainer
Your fractional AI operations partner.
AI systems aren't "build it once and forget it" infrastructure. They need monitoring, optimization, and continuous improvement as your business evolves. The Stewardship Retainer is the ongoing relationship that keeps your AI infrastructure working — and growing.
What you get
- —Continuous monitoring of all systems built by Providence AI
- —Monthly system health report
- —One new automation build per month (small-to-medium scope)
- —Quarterly strategic review session
- —Email or Slack response within one business day
- —Priority support
- —Ongoing optimization as your business changes
Who it's for: Clients who have completed at least one Build engagement.

The Cornerstone
Capture the operational knowledge that built your business.
The most valuable system in most small businesses is the one in the owner's head. The decision frameworks. The customer relationships. The pricing logic. The vendor history. The judgment calls that took twenty years to develop. When the owner steps out, that knowledge walks out the door with him.
The Cornerstone changes that.
What it is
An 8–12 week engagement to capture, structure, and operationalize the tacit knowledge that runs your business — turning it into an AI-augmented system your team can query, contribute to, and learn from. This is the work that turns a successful business into a transferable asset.
What you get
- —4–6 weeks of extensive owner interviews (recorded, with detailed notes)
- —A structured knowledge base built in your environment
- —Documentation of SOPs, decision frameworks, customer profiles, vendor relationships, and pricing logic
- —AI agents connected to the knowledge base for querying and synthesis
- —Team training on how to use and contribute to the system
- —60 days of post-launch support and refinement
Who it's for: Owner-operators who have built a successful business on personal expertise and are starting to think about succession, scaling, stepping back, or simply operating with less stress.
8–12 weeks · Starting at $20,000 (custom quotes for businesses above $10M revenue)
Not sure which is right for you?
Most engagements start with the Audit — it's the lowest-commitment way to find out where AI can actually help your business. From there, the right path becomes clear.
