The questions
The working
How the answer is worked out
Every answer adds points to the services it points towards. What frustrates you most counts for the most, and the other eight answers shift the result: how many systems you run, whether they do the job, how much gets re-keyed, who leads technology, where the problem sits, whether you know the fix, what the problem is costing you and your timing.
Ties go to the cheaper, diagnostic step. A Systems Health Check or a Better Way Review comes before a build, because the cheapest fix is often in software you already pay for, or in how the work is done.
AI only comes up when your answers point there. If the board wants an AI plan but your systems are held together with spreadsheets, I'll say to sort the systems first. AI needs data it can reach.
A website, a business you're buying and a slow development team each have one clear first step, so those answers decide the result on their own. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a diagnosis.
Questions
Before you rely on it
What is the difference between a Systems Health Check and a Better Way Review?
A Systems Health Check starts from your systems: every application you pay for gets a verdict (keep, configure better, connect, replace or retire), with the licence waste and the missing links. A Better Way Review starts from the work: one area, such as finance or operations, mapped as it really runs, with the options costed.
Why didn't it recommend AI?
Because nothing in your answers pointed there. Most of the time the quickest win is a better process, a setting you already pay for, or two systems joined up. AI earns its place on top of those, not instead of them.
Can I see the price before I talk to you?
Yes. Each recommendation links to the service page and its price, so you can see what it would cost before you book anything.
What if the answer feels wrong?
Change the answer that seems to be driving it and try again, or bring the result to a 30-minute call. If it is wrong for your business, I'd rather tell you than sell you the wrong thing.
