The AI Scaling Roadmap · Free

Every business is at one of five stages with AI. Which are you?

A few quick questions about how your business runs. You'll see where you stand, what the next stage looks like, and what it takes to get there.

What you walk away with.

Built from your answers. Not a generic PDF.

Your stageWhere you are on the map
The next stageWhat the level above looks like
The promptRun your business through your own AI
The roadmap

Four minutes. Then your stage, and the one above it.

Your answers place you on the map and show you what the next stage looks like.

How your business runs sets your stage.

Your size doesn't decide it. We meet $9M companies at Stage 0 and $1.5M companies far up the map.

Stage 2 · TeachingYour plays are written down. Your business is not.

Your roadmap shows how much of this ladder you've already built.

STAGE 0 · DabblingA couple of people poke at ChatGPT. Nothing has taken root. Never touched it at all? This is your starting square too, not "behind."
STAGE 1 · StandardizingReal AI use exists, but everyone does it their own way. The skill lives in one person's head.
STAGE 2 · TeachingYour plays are written down. Your business is not. AI still opens every session as a stranger.
STAGE 3 · Handing OffAI knows your business, but nothing ships without you. You became the approval queue.
STAGE 4 · CompoundingWork runs without you behind gates you designed. Now the job is keeping the pieces connected.
The hinge

Stage 2 is where AI stops being a tool and starts being the business.

Below it

AI makes each person a little faster. That speed walks out the door when they do.

Above it

The business itself gets smarter. What you build keeps working, whoever shows up.

Fair questions
What happens with my answers?
They're used to place you on the map and build your roadmap. They stay private. They're never sold, shared, or used to price anything. No sales calls unless you book one. One-click unsubscribe on anything we send. Full detail, in plain language: the privacy page.
I'm in a regulated business (medical, financial, legal, accounting, insurance). Does this apply to me?
Yes, and nothing here asks for client data. The quiz asks how your business runs, not who your clients are. And the roadmap's advice for regulated businesses is explicit: anything touching client information gets built inside your compliance boundary (HIPAA, SEC and state investment-adviser rules, insurance regulations, or whatever governs you), in tools your rules allow. If you'd rather talk that through with a person first, book a short call.
How long does it take?
10 questions. Most owners finish in about 4 minutes. The result is on screen the moment you finish.
My business isn't like the examples. Will the stages still fit?
The stages are about how work runs, not what industry you're in. The same five stages hold for a plumbing company, an Amazon brand, a law office, and a machine shop. The stages describe the moves every business shares (leads, quotes, follow-ups, invoices), so if something does not fit, tell us. The map gets sharper with every business that takes it.

In a few moments, you'll know exactly where you stand.
