What's inside

Seven sections, written from the build.

Every section is drawn from installs we have run — the scorecards, the measures and the models we use with clients.

01
Revenue is an engineering problem

The three leaks — response, qualification, follow-up — and why hiring rarely closes them.

02
The eight stages of the AI Revenue Engine™

Attract, Capture, Respond, Qualify, Book, Follow up, Convert, Retain — and who owns each.

03
The six AI Employees

Liv, Front Desk, Calendar, Proposal Closer, Back Office and The Orchestrator, with governance.

04
Speed to lead: the five-minute rule

What a five-minute first response actually contains, and how to test your own.

05
The ROI model

Recovered hours, recovered revenue, payback — plus the six measures to track.

06
Your 30-day readiness audit

An eight-stage scorecard out of 24 to run with your leadership team.

07
Where to start

Kickstart or the full engine, chosen by size and complexity rather than budget.

Who it's for

Leaders responsible for revenue.

Written for CFOs, COOs, CTOs, VPs of Operations, Heads of Technology and Founders at $2M–$50M firms with 20–200 staff. Smaller operators will find the readiness audit just as useful — start with AI Revenue Kickstart.

Next step

Map your own eight stages.

The guide gives you the scorecard. The AI Revenue Audit runs it against your business and shows what fixing the weakest stage is worth. You can also run the numbers yourself.
