04 Questions
Fair questions.
Why don't you list prices?
Every team is different, so every engagement is scoped with you on the free call. You get a written proposal with the full price before anything starts, and you can walk away at no cost.
Who do you work with?
Teams at companies, schools, libraries, nonprofits and public bodies, mostly in metro Atlanta. We work in person in Atlanta or online anywhere.
Do you build or run AI systems?
No. We help your team understand what AI and other changes could mean for your work, and decide where AI should help and where it should wait. If you need something built, we'll point you to people who build.
Is StackScore a test of my team?
No. StackScore and the 5-minute check are reflection tools still in development. They help a team talk about how it notices change and acts on it. They are not validated tests, and they are never used for hiring, grading or ranking.
How much time does a workshop take?
The Applied Futures & AI Workshop is a half day. Before it, everyone on the team takes the 5-minute check.
Not sure yet?
Talk it through first.
Thirty minutes, free, no obligation. You leave with an honest read on whether we're the right fit, and what a first step could be.
