AI CONSULTING
Most small businesses already use AI somewhere. Very few have made it part of how they actually work. The free AI Scan shows you where AI would make a real difference in your business — in two minutes, before you spend a euro on it.
And that's exactly why it's stuck. 76% of small businesses already use AI — only 14% have embedded it into how they work. The bottleneck isn't enthusiasm. It's knowing what to do next. Here's what that usually looks like:
ChatGPT in one tab, a trial that quietly expired in another. Everyone uses something — but none of it is connected to how the work actually gets done.
FROM THE JOURNAL: 76% USE AI. 14% EMBED IT →Recaps, status updates, chasing reminders, updating the CRM. Ops and admin lose roughly 3–5 hours a week here — and nobody has the time to fix it.
FROM THE JOURNAL: THURSDAY AFTERNOONS →How things really work sits with one or two people. When they're out, work stalls — and an AI can't follow a process nobody ever wrote down.
FROM THE JOURNAL: KNOWLEDGE THAT WALKS OUT →A trial looked promising, then stalled. Not because the technology failed — because the data, the owner or the expectations weren't there yet.
FROM THE JOURNAL: WHY AI PROJECTS FAIL →Most AI projects don't fail because the technology is hard. They fail before they start — on the same four gaps that show up in almost every business.
The fix isn't another tool. It's finding out, honestly, where AI fits your way of working — and what needs to be in place first. That's what the path below is for. Read the Field Brief on AI readiness →
Every step stands on its own. You only go further when the previous step shows it's worth it.
Six quick questions about how your business runs. You see where AI can make an impact straight away — and get a personal report in your inbox.
A structured engagement: I go through your data, assets and risk exposure, then check what I find against where AI actually creates value for a business like yours.
When something needs to be built, not just advised on, the Tech Foundry builds the agents, skills and AI automations — straight from the Discovery findings.
I've spent years building technology — and watching AI change whole industries while small and growing businesses got left behind. Not because AI isn't relevant to them. Because nobody has the time, the resources or someone in their corner to work out where it fits.
So I don't start with tools. Every engagement starts with an honest look at how your business actually runs. And everything I recommend is something we run ourselves: our own products and agents are built and operated with AI in the ANDRS Tech Foundry.
The scan is the smallest possible first step. Two minutes, no call, no pitch. If it shows there's something worth going deeper on, we talk. If not, you've lost nothing. More of how I think in the ANDRS Journal.
See your results on screen. Leave your email only if you want the report.
Agreed upfront. Half of what you pay is credited toward whatever comes next.
Decide not to move forward, and the work is still yours — useful with or without me.
Yes. There's no call and no payment. You answer six questions and see your results on screen straight away. You only leave your email if you want the personal report.
No. The questions are about how your business runs — how your team handles repetitive work, what matters most right now, how you deal with data and customers. Not about technology.
Because AI amplifies whatever process it lands on — including a messy one. Before any tool, you need to know which process you want help with, who owns it, and what “better” looks like. The scan is a quick first answer to where to look. The longer version is in Why most AI projects fail before they start.
A structured, paid engagement. I go through your business's data, assets and risk exposure, then check what I find against where AI actually creates value for a business like yours. You walk away with a prioritized answer to what to do first — and an honest answer on what isn't ready yet. Read about The Clarity Framework →
The intro call is a no-obligation conversation to see whether going deeper makes sense. The Discovery is real, delivered work: a first-hand look at your business, with findings that are yours whether or not you continue.
Yes. For businesses in the Netherlands, the conversation after the scan can happen on-site — you can tick that option when you request your report.
No call, no pitch, no jargon. Just a clear first answer for your business.
