The $499 AI-Ready Audit · by firm type

See what needs fixing before you talk to anyone.

ColabContent, a Boston AI consulting house, starts any firm of 10 to 150 people with the $499 AI-Ready Audit, a ranked report on your own numbers that names the system worth building, or a free cost benchmark memo built from six of your own numbers, emailed in about a minute. After the audit, a principal builds a working prototype on your own data in 7 to 10 days, before any build fee. Custom builds are one fixed fee starting at $10,000, with the code owned by the firm at handoff.

What happens after you ask.

Pick a firm type above and start with the $499 AI-Ready Audit, which ranks what to fix first in dollars and names the system worth building. The report arrives the same day, with a money-back guarantee if it delivers no value.

If you would rather have a number than a report, the cost benchmark memo takes six figures you already know and comes back by email in about a minute, with the annual leak on each line and the total.

Neither one puts you on a sales call. A principal replies personally. Rather just ask? Send a question from the homepage form.

After the audit names the system worth building, a principal builds a working prototype on your own data within 7 to 10 days under NDA (a signed non-disclosure agreement), before any build fee. If you go further, one fixed fee starting at $10,000 covers the build inside your own cloud tenant (a private cloud account). You own the code, the prompts and the runbook (the written operating instructions) at handoff. There is no per-seat fee, ever.

The questions firms ask first.

These are the questions that come up before any engagement starts, collected from audit calls and written down here so they can be answered once. Each answer is the one we give on the call, and each is checked against your own numbers in the $499 AI-Ready Audit report.

What if the prototype does not work?

You owe nothing, and keep the work.

Do I own the code at handoff?

Yes, in your own cloud tenant. No per-seat fee.

How long does this take?

3 days for the audit, 7 to 10 more for the prototype.

What is expected of me?

Your own numbers, and real data under NDA (a signed non-disclosure agreement).

Does this replace my staff?

Not as a rule. A human stays in the loop; time gets freed up.

What does the $499 AI-Ready Audit include?

A ranked report on your own numbers, delivered the same day, naming the highest-value system to build for your firm. It comes with a money-back guarantee if it delivers no value.

What is in the cost benchmark memo?

Six numbers you already know. The memo returns the annual dollar leak on each line and the total. It is emailed within about a minute of submitting the form, with the formula shown on every line.

Does either option lead to a sales call?

No. Both are delivered without a sales call. A principal replies personally to audit questions. Rather just ask? Send a question from the homepage form.

What does a custom build cost after the audit?

A working prototype comes first, built on your own data in 7 to 10 days, before any build fee. If a custom build follows, it is one fixed fee starting at $10,000, agreed before work begins. There is no hourly meter, no per-seat licence and no ongoing platform fee, and you own the code at handoff. Independent consultants charge $150 to $500 per hour and mid-tier firms $300 to $1,000 per hour for comparable work (our estimate, Sept 2026).

Fees: pricing.

Rather just ask?

Send a question from the homepage form and a principal replies. Or start with the audit and get a ranked list back the same day.
