You know AI matters. Nobody's shown you where it fits.
WellRunAI answers that in a week. A 45-minute conversation about your actual work day, then a report naming the three to five changes worth making: what each one costs, what it gives back in hours, and exactly what to do on Monday.
The problem was never belief
Most owners we talk to have already tried. There's a chat tab open in the browser, a subscription nobody uses, and an automation someone built that broke in March. Nobody needs convincing that this matters. What's missing is someone who sat down with the actual work and pointed at where the hours go.
You're also being sold to constantly, by people who name the tool before they've asked a single question. A recommendation that arrives in the first ten minutes of a sales call is a guess wearing a suit.
So the tools you already pay for stay half-used, and the work that should have been handled two years ago still happens by hand, twice, because two systems don't talk to each other.
Fix the process before you automate it
A broken eighteen-step process, automated, is still broken. It's just faster, and harder to see. So we look at the process first, and we'll tell you when the answer is fewer steps rather than another subscription. Sometimes the whole fix is that nine of those eighteen steps shouldn't exist.
It's the advisory version of how we build software: better, not just faster.
The WellRunAI Assessment
One conversation, one report, one call to walk you through it. You leave knowing what to change, what it costs, and what it gives back, whether you hire us for any of it or not.
What lands in your inbox
- Where your hours actually go, quantified, traced back to what you said on the call
- Three to five developed recommendations, each tied to something specific you told us
- A scored backlog of everything else, ranked on value, feasibility, data readiness, adoption effort and risk
- What each tool costs, what it replaces, and the date we checked the price
- Your first five days: one action a day, none of it needing a purchase, a vendor call, or anyone's approval
- Hours reclaimed per week, a payback period, and a sensitivity view, with every dollar figure sourced
- What we considered and deliberately set aside, and why
Every recommendation traces to something you said out loud, and the primary pick is always the cheapest tool that clears the bar. If your existing stack can already do the job, that's the recommendation.
Four steps, five business days
Discovery call
45 minutesWe ask a lot of questions and recommend nothing. Walk us through your last full work day. What do you dread? Where does work pile up? What have you tried to automate before, and why did it fail? The only job on this call is finding where the time goes.
Analysis
Our sideWe run the conversation through our own AI stack to pull out the patterns, including the ones we missed live, then research current best-fit tools against them. Then a human checks every single recommendation, verifies the pricing, and throws out the weak fits.
The report
Five business daysEight sections, twelve to eighteen pages, in a document that's yours to keep: an executive summary built for a decision, current-state findings, your prioritized use cases with scores, the financial impact, risks and compliance flags, a phased roadmap, your first five days, and where this goes next.
Review call
45 minutesScreen-share, top to bottom. For each recommendation: here's the pain point you described, here's the tool, here's what it costs, here's how setup works. Then you decide what happens next.
Three ways this goes
About half the owners we do this for ask for help implementing. People running fifty-hour weeks don't execute reports. So there are three honest options, and the first one costs nothing.
Do it yourself
Take the report and run. It's written to be executable without us: setup steps, costs, and a five-day sequence you can start on Monday without buying anything. Plenty of clients stop here, and that's a good outcome.
We build it
Fixed-scope, fixed-price projects off a set menu: a process redesign, a single automation, a knowledge system trained on your own material, or a full implementation with custom agents. Quoted on the review call, priced from the menu, not invented on the spot.
WellRunAI Concierge
A monthly retainer for teams that want this to keep happening. Two 45-minute working calls a month plus async access with a twelve-business-hour response commitment. Each call takes one workflow: audit how you do it today, cut the steps that shouldn't exist, automate what's left, built inside your own tools, on your screen, with us coaching.
Common questions
What does it cost?
$799 for the assessment: the discovery call, the report, and the review call. Fixed. Implementation work and the concierge retainer are priced separately, and you won't hear a number from us that isn't attached to a defined scope.
Do I have to buy anything else?
No. The assessment is a complete deliverable. About half our clients ask for implementation help, which means about half don't, and the report works either way.
Are you building custom AI for us?
Almost never, and that's the point. Most of what you need already exists off the shelf, and some of it you're already paying for. We'd rather hand you a subscription that costs thirty dollars a month and saves six hours a week than sell you a build.
How much of my time does this take?
Ninety minutes total: forty-five for the discovery call, forty-five for the review. Nothing to prepare, no homework, and no access to your systems required.
Who is this for?
Owner-led businesses where the person feeling the pain is the person who can decide to fix it, and department leaders inside larger firms who have to make the case to somebody else. If you're not the one who signs, the report carries a page written for whoever does: the decision, the number, and the three questions they'll ask.
Who actually does the work?
strideUX, a product design and software engineering studio that's been building for seven years and runs AI through its own work every day. WellRunAI is us packaging up the advice we kept giving away.
Where do your numbers come from?
Every dollar figure traces to a rate you gave us, a rate we worked out from something you said, or a named public benchmark we cite in the report. The financial section opens by telling you how tight the numbers are. We won't invent a billing rate to make a total look bigger, and when we can't source one honestly you get the range and the math instead of a single confident figure.
Will you tell me I'm going to save fifty thousand a year?
Probably not. If you're already working sixty-hour weeks, the hours we hand back don't turn into margin, they turn into you not writing reports on Sunday night. We report that as relief and we call it that, because a fake ROI percentage doesn't survive the first skeptical question. Time that genuinely converts into cost savings or revenue gets counted separately and labelled separately.
What if the report says we don't need AI?
Then it says that. Sometimes the answer is a process with fewer steps and no new software at all. We'd rather tell you that for $799 than sell you an automation that makes a bad process run faster.
