AI operations assessment Accepting files

Your week,
examined.

Standard Bureau maps where time is being lost, identifies the few AI changes worth making, and files a practical implementation brief your team can act on.

What gets examined

The friction underneath the tools

The interview follows the work as it actually happens. Recommendations begin with observed constraints, then move to software.

01

Time drains

Recurring work that absorbs attention without requiring your judgment.

02

Decision queues

Places where routine approvals, triage, or research wait on one person.

03

Information handoffs

Context that gets copied, re-explained, lost, or rebuilt between systems.

04

Revenue delays

Follow-up, quoting, scheduling, and lead handling that moves too slowly.

The guarantee

Five hours back each week—or the assessment fee is returned.

We establish the current baseline during discovery. If the approved recommendations do not identify at least five recoverable hours in a normal week, Standard Bureau refunds the $999 fee.

How it works

Four steps. One useful decision.

At the end, you know what to change first, why it matters, what it costs, and who should own it.

    Discovery

    A 45-minute working session about yesterday’s calendar, recurring obligations, bottlenecks, tools, and the work only you can currently unblock.

    Recorded with consent
  2. 02

    Analysis

    We map the current process, test potential interventions, estimate recoverable time, and remove recommendations that cannot carry their weight.

    Brief

    You receive three to seven ranked recommendations with costs, effort, risks, tool choices, implementation details, and a four-day quick-start sequence.

A recent day or week is more useful than a list of AI ideas.
