Use case

Our competitors are using AI and we are not.

You have been hearing about AI for two years. You have not done anything. Two competitors are responding faster, pricing tighter, and producing better-looking proposals. Margin is slipping and no one inside the business can articulate where the leak is.

The pain

Quoting takes the GM three evenings a week. The owner senses AI is part of the answer but cannot tell which part, and is afraid that touching it will make staff feel replaceable. Watching YouTube. Asking the bookkeeper. Avoiding the staff conversation entirely, which makes the eventual conversation harder.

The mistake most businesses make

Treating "AI" as one decision they have to get right, when it is actually a dozen small workflow decisions where most of the upside lives. Waiting for clarity that will not come. Or jumping straight into a vendor demo and signing a contract for software the team will not use.

What Core Nova does differently

We do not sell AI strategy decks. We run a fixed-price First Workflow: four working days, A$6,000 + GST. A written process map of where AI can and cannot help today, plus one improvement shipped to a real workflow before the engagement closes.

Same security and compliance lens a Cyber Node vCISO engagement would bring. The staff conversation gets easier because the engagement names the work the AI is doing, not the people it would replace.

A$6,000 + GST

Four working days. First measurable improvement by week two. Payable in full on signature.

Book a scoping call

What you leave with

  • Process map of one business function (sales ops, project administration, customer support, finance ops, or similar).
  • AI-suitability triage of each mapped workflow: which are good fits, which are not, which have risk to address before touching.
  • One workflow improvement shipped end-to-end, with a runbook.
  • A measurement note you can show the team and the bookkeeper.

What happens after

The engagement ends at end of week two unless we both agree there is more value to capture. You leave with the improvement and the runbook either way.

If the first improvement returns the investment, we can scope a second workflow. Engagements can grow into multi-workflow deployments or ongoing oversight, but those conversations happen after the first improvement ships, not before.

Frequently asked

With one workflow, not a strategy deck. Owner-operators who have been hearing about AI for two years tend to treat it as one large decision they have to get right. It is not. It is a dozen small workflow decisions where most of the upside lives. The First Workflow engagement is the entry point: A$6,000 + GST, four working days, a written process map of where AI can and cannot help today, plus one improvement shipped to a real workflow before the engagement closes.

One workflow agent moved end to end through your business. Quote turnaround, supplier-invoice reconciliation, intake-to-note, calculation-to-report, or whatever process Day 1's AI-suitability triage identifies as the largest unrecovered hours. The improvement is measured against a before-and-after metric agreed on Day 1. You leave with the improvement and a runbook either way.

We do not sell AI strategy decks and we do not charge for an opinion. We ship a working improvement. The engagement is fixed in price and duration. Same security and compliance lens a Cyber Node vCISO engagement would bring. The staff conversation gets easier because the engagement names the work the AI is doing, not the people it would replace.
