Cleave · AI-automation advisory

We install AI into your business— with rigor, not hype.

A premium, low-volume advisory for overloaded marketing teams. We start with a paid Diagnostic that maps exactly where AI pays off in your operations, then build it with you.

The wedge

The Diagnostic, and the Map it produces

In one to two weeks we research your business, interview you, and hand you a Process-Automation Map: your real workflows ranked by automatability × ROI, a recommended AI stack for the top opportunities, and a phased build order. It ends with the single highest-leverage place to start.

  1. 01

    Auto-research

    We study your public footprint and form testable hypotheses about where the work actually is.

  2. 02

    Discovery call

    A focused interview surfaces how the business really runs, and kills the wrong guesses fast.

  3. 03

    The Map

    Ranked opportunities, a recommended stack, a phased build order, and one clear place to start.

What you walk away with

Not a slide deck of buzzwords. A working document you can act on the same week: every workflow scored, ranked, and sequenced, so the first build is obvious.
