    <p class="lede"><strong>The AI Diagnostic at half the fee, for founders running 10 to 50 employee businesses.</strong> Same two week written diagnostic, same AI transformation roadmap with prioritized 90 day actions. We do this because most of the leverage AI offers right now is sitting inside small businesses that cannot absorb a $2,500 line item. Apply for one of a limited number of slots each quarter.</p>

        <h2>To support <em>small entrepreneurs</em>.</h2>
        <p style="color: var(--ink-soft); font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6;">A decade running cross border engineering teams taught us something simple: the founders who most need a clean read on AI are the ones least able to pay for one. Enterprise buyers can absorb a diagnostic fee without thinking. A 25 person company cannot, and that is exactly the company where the right 90 day plan makes the biggest difference.</p>
        <p style="color: var(--ink-soft); font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 14px;">So we hold a limited number of slots each quarter for small businesses, run the same diagnostic for the same depth, and charge half. If you are a founder or owner operator with a real AI question, this is the cleanest way in.</p>
      </div>
      <ul class="gs-recap-list">
        <li>Same capability gap analysis against your AI roadmap</li>
        <li>Same architecture and data audit, where relevant</li>
        <li>Same written AI transformation roadmap with prioritized 90 day actions</li>
        <li>Same honest read on whether AI is the right next move</li>
        <li>Yours to keep. No obligation to continue.</li>
