Stop Guessing. Start Diagnosing: Meet the AI Consulting Squad That Tells You the Truth
The AI consulting framework that diagnoses readiness before pitching solutions
The Problem Every AI Consultant Faces
You know that feeling when someone asks "So... what could AI do for my business?" and you freeze? You've got a thousand ideas exploding in your head. You can see the integrations, the automations, the transformations. But the moment you start explaining, you watch their eyes glaze over.
Or worse—they think you're overselling. Playing them. Trying to push a solution they don't need.
Here's the brutal truth: Most AI consulting starts backwards. Someone hears about AI → Gets excited → Calls a consultant → Gets pitched a sexy solution → Realizes six weeks in that their data is a mess and nothing works.
The consultant looks like they didn't do their homework. The client feels burned. Everyone loses.
What if we flipped the script entirely? What if, instead of pitching solutions, we diagnosed readiness first? What if we could tell someone—with complete honesty—whether they're ready for AI implementation, or if they need to fix their foundation first?
What if we could map their entire tech ecosystem, identify the highest-impact opportunities, and create a realistic roadmap... before anyone signs a contract or wastes time on the wrong solution?
That's exactly what this AI Consulting Squad does.
Meet the Squad: Three AI Specialists Who Work as Your Strategic Team
GPT 1: The Discovery Diagnostician
(Your Flight Paramedic)
What it does: Rapid assessment of AI readiness through three critical questions
- SCALE: Company size, structure, decision-making speed
- STACK: Technology ecosystem and integration feasibility
- KNOWLEDGE: Where data lives and how organized it is
What you get: An honest diagnosis
- ✅ READY FOR AI → Green light with confidence
- ⚠️ NEEDS FOUNDATION WORK → Here's what to fix first, then we build
- 🛑 NOT READY YET → Save your money, come back when [X] changes
Why this matters: It prevents bad engagements before they start. A "not ready" diagnosis is a win if it's accurate—you just saved yourself months of frustration and a damaged reputation.
GPT 2: The Systems Analyst
(Your Data Governance Expert)
What it does:
- Deep-dive mapping of the technical landscape
- Identifies integration opportunities and constraints
- Spots API limitations before you promise something impossible
- Maps Microsoft vs Google ecosystems (because OneDrive permissions will DESTROY you)
- Finds the path of least resistance with maximum impact
What you get: An opportunity matrix categorized by feasibility
- Quick Wins: High impact, low friction, fast ROI
- Strategic Plays: Bigger lift, bigger payoff
- Foundation Requirements: Not sexy, but enables everything else
- Future State: What becomes possible once other pieces are in place
Why this matters: It shows you where to start for momentum, what to avoid because it's a trap, and what's actually possible given their current reality.
GPT 3: The Implementation Strategist
(Your Information Architect)
What it does:
- Turns diagnosis and analysis into an actionable roadmap
- Creates phased implementation plans
- Provides tiered recommendations (Foundation → Quick Wins → Strategic → Transformation)
- Identifies risks with specific mitigation strategies
- Defines success metrics at every phase
What you get:
- A professional implementation plan
- Clear phases with realistic timelines
- Multiple engagement options at different price points
- Risk register with contingency plans
- Decision framework: "Start here if [X], skip to here if [Y]"
Why this matters: It's the difference between "here's a proposal" and "here's a strategic roadmap that accounts for your reality." One is a pitch. The other is partnership.
Why This Approach Changes Everything
For Consultants:
- Stop sounding like a snake oil salesman. Let the diagnostic speak for itself.
- Qualify leads faster. Know who's ready and who's wasting your time.
- Build trust immediately. "Here's what's broken" is more credible than "Here's what I can sell you."
- Demonstrate AI's power by using AI to analyze their situation. Meta, right?
For Potential Clients:
- Get honest assessment before spending a dime on implementation
- See the full picture of what's possible AND what's blocking you
- Understand the path from chaos to capability
- Make informed decisions with clear options and realistic expectations
How It Actually Works
01
Discovery Call
You (the consultant) conduct a discovery call using the framework
02
Feed to Diagnostician
Feed the call notes to the Discovery Diagnostician
03
Get Readiness Diagnosis
Get a readiness diagnosis → If "Ready" or "Needs Foundation," proceed
04
Systems Analysis
Feed diagnosis to Systems Analyst → Get detailed opportunity map
05
Strategic Roadmap
Feed both outputs to Implementation Strategist → Get tiered roadmap
Result: You walk into your follow-up meeting with a comprehensive, professional assessment that demonstrates both your expertise and AI's analytical capabilities. You're not guessing. You're not pitching. You're diagnosing and prescribing.
The Real Innovation Here
Most AI tools claim to "help you work faster" or "automate tasks." Cool. Those are features.
This squad helps you think better.
It structures your assessment process, catches blind spots, and produces documentation that builds credibility. It takes you from "that person with a lot of ideas" to "the consultant who actually understands my business."
Why I Built This (And Why I Need Your Help)
I kept running into the same problem: When I'd explain what AI could do for someone's business, I could see them mentally checking out. Too much, too fast, too overwhelming. They'd either think I was overselling them or they'd get paralyzed by options.
So I created this squad to take me out of the equation. The GPTs do the heavy analytical lifting. I become the interpreter and guide. The reports speak for themselves.
But here's where you come in:
These prompts are built on theory and experience, but they need real-world testing with real problems from real users. I need to know:
- What questions does the Discovery Diagnostician miss?
- Where does the Systems Analyst make wrong assumptions?
- What does the Implementation Strategist overlook?
I'm Looking for 10-15 Beta Testers
Here's the deal:
- ✅ You get free reports from all three GPT prompts
- ✅ You run them with your actual discovery call notes
- ✅ You give me feedback on what worked and what didn't
- ✅ We refine this into something truly game-changing…you get first access.
What I'm looking for:
- AI consultants who do discovery calls
- People who struggle to communicate AI's potential without overwhelming clients
- Anyone who's tired of pitching solutions to people who aren't ready
- Folks willing to share honest feedback (the good, bad, and "this part is garbage")
Three Reasons You Should Try This Today
1
It might save your next client engagement from disaster
That "yes" from a client who's not ready? It turns into a nightmare project that damages your reputation. Better to diagnose correctly upfront.

Your feedback directly improves the squad. You're not just a user—you're a co-creator.
Ready to Try the Squad?
I've set up a quick intake form for beta testers. It takes 2 minutes to fill out and helps me match you with the right GPT to start with.
👉 [BETA TESTER SIGN-UP FORM] (link here)
Once you submit, I'll share a Google form with the info for the GPT(s) you select and send you a feedback form to complete after you've had time to review your report against the real scenario you used.
I'm keeping this to 10-15 testers initially so I can actually incorporate your feedback meaningfully.
Let's flip the script on AI consulting together. No more guessing. No more overselling. No more clients who aren't ready. Just honest diagnosis, smart analysis, and strategic roadmaps.
