Run the business betterThe free consult and the $500 analysis

AI consulting, so you know where AI will help your business first.

AI consulting from Alpine Ops starts with a free 30-minute consult, at your place or by phone. Then comes the $500 AI process analysis: we walk through how the work really moves through your business, with you and your people, and record and transcribe the sessions with your okay. You get plain-language recommendations in priority order, and you choose what gets built.

01What it is

A close look at how your work gets done, before anyone builds anything.

AI consulting from Alpine Ops means we sit down with you, follow the real work through your business, and find the jobs your people do by hand that a computer should be doing. Then we tell you plainly what to fix first.

Most owners we talk to already suspect where the time goes: the same job typed into three systems, paper copied in by hand, a report rebuilt every Friday. What they don't have is a clear, ordered list of what to do about it, and someone who can say which ideas are worth the money and which aren't. That list is what AI consulting produces.

You don't need to know anything about AI. You know how your business runs. Knowing what a computer can take off your people's plates is our job.

Who it's for

  • Clinics and offices
  • Contractors
  • Field service
  • Trucking
  • Shops and retail
  • Restaurants
  • Professional services

A good fit if

  • You've heard AI could help and want to know where, in your business, not in general.
  • Your office spends hours retyping, copying or chasing information.
  • Someone builds reports by hand, and you still don't fully trust the numbers.
  • You want a straight answer before you spend real money on software.

02How it works

From a free conversation to a plan you can act on.

AI consulting covers the first three steps. Steps 4 and 5 are there when you want us to build and run what we recommend.

  1. Step 1: Free 30-minute consult

    Free

    We talk about your business and where the time goes, at your place or on the phone. No obligation. If an analysis makes sense, we'll tell you what it would cover.

  2. Step 2: AI process analysis

    $500

    We walk through your actual processes with you and the people who do the work: who enters what, into which system, and how many times. With your okay, we record and transcribe the sessions and review every word.

  3. Step 3: Our recommendations

    Plain language

    Which processes to automate, speed up or improve, in priority order, with the reason for each. You choose what gets built.

  4. Step 4: Fixed-price build

    $2,500 to $15,000Typical, depending on scope

    If you want us to build it, you know the exact price before any work starts. See what we actually build.

  5. Step 5. Where this is headedOngoing

    Step 5: Your AI department

    The analysis is a snapshot. Your AI department keeps looking: regular check-ins, upkeep, and upgrades as AI improves.

Step 1 is a conversation. Free, 30 minutes.

The analysis maps the work. Every step, who does it, and every place the same information gets typed again.

03Inside the $500 analysis

What we look at during the AI process analysis.

We follow real work through your business, from the first call or ticket to the invoice and the report, and note every place it gets typed, copied, waited on or rebuilt by hand.

  • Double entry

    The same customer, job or ticket typed into two or three systems, and who does the typing.

  • Paper and email copied by hand

    Tickets, forms, invoices and emails that someone reads and keys in, one line at a time.

  • Reports built by hand

    Where your numbers come from, who pulls them together, and how long it takes each week.

  • Handoffs and waiting

    Where work sits until someone gets back to the office, finds the paper or answers a question.

  • Calls and repeat questions

    The calls that go to voicemail after hours, and the questions your people answer ten times a day.

  • The systems you already pay for

    What your current software can already do, so we don't recommend buying what you have.

Recorded and transcribed, so nothing is missed

The best details come out in conversation: the workaround nobody wrote down, the step only one person knows. With your okay, we record and transcribe the analysis sessions and review the full transcript before we recommend anything.

Recorded
Only with your okay. We ask first, every time.
Transcribed
Every word, on paper. Details don't depend on anyone's memory.
Reviewed
The full transcript. Read before we recommend anything.
Paused
Any time you ask. Some things are better off the record.
Example: part of a session transcript

What the office said, and what we noted.

Example
  1. Office manager

    When the crew brings a ticket back, I put it in the job tracker first.

  2. Office manager

    Then the same ticket goes into billing. And Thursday I copy the hours into payroll.

    Same ticket, typed 3 times
  3. Owner

    And the Monday numbers, those get built by hand too?

  4. Office manager

    Every Friday afternoon. It takes most of it.

04What you get

Prioritized recommendations, in plain language. You choose what gets built.

The analysis ends with a short list: which processes to automate, speed up or improve, in the order we'd do them, with the reason for each. It also says what we'd leave alone for now.

See every question
6.1What do I get for the $500 AI process analysis?

We walk through your actual processes with you and your people, step by step, and with your okay we record and transcribe the sessions. Then you get plain-language recommendations in priority order: which processes to automate, speed up or improve, and why. You choose what gets built.

6.2Is the first consult really free?

Yes. The 30-minute consult is free, at your place or by phone, with no obligation. We talk about your business and where the time goes. If an analysis makes sense, we'll tell you what it would cover.

6.3I don't know anything about AI. Is that a problem?

No. That's exactly who we work with. You know how your business runs, and knowing what AI can do with it is our job. We talk in plain language, without jargon.

6.4Why do you record the sessions?

So nothing you say gets missed. With your okay, we record and transcribe the conversation and review the full transcript before we recommend anything. If there's something you'd rather keep off the recording, say so and we'll pause.

6.5Do I have to build what you recommend?

No. You choose what gets built, and when. If you want us to build any of it, it's a fixed price, typically $2,500 to $15,000 depending on scope, and you know the exact price before work starts.

6.6Do you only work in the Uintah Basin?

No. We're based in Vernal, Utah, and we come to businesses across the Uintah Basin, including Roosevelt and Duchesne. We're happy to talk wherever your business is.
