I'll Find at Least $25,000 Hiding Between Quote and Invoice and Put an AI Employee to Work Bringing It In... or Your Money Back

Your Profit Roadmap, with your top 3 unrealized profit opportunities ranked by what each one is worth. An 80/20 System Design that fits your operations. And your ASIEs built and deployed, with all the training needed. One, two or three, depending on the option you pick.

First, between the quote and the invoice. Quotes nobody followed up on. Extras that never got billed... the expedite, the first article, the tooling, the engineering change. Jobs that ran past their quoted hours. Material that went up while your price stayed put. Past-due invoices, and invoices a customer's portal kicked back that nobody resubmitted. Customers who stopped sending POs without a word. Your Roadmap finds the ones in your own books and ranks them by what each one is worth.

You don't have to switch anything. Most shops keep their ERP, their job tracking system or the spreadsheets they really run on, and we build a smart AI layer on top, like one dashboard that pulls from all of them. The money we're after lives in the gaps around them... the quote nobody followed up on, the extra nobody entered, the report nobody reads. If you'd rather have a new system built, we can do that too. Your 80/20 System Design spells out what each ASIE reads and what it does, before anything is built.

Only if you want it to. Many ASIEs never talk to anyone outside your shop... they check quotes, match POs and flag jobs that lose money. If one does reach out, like a follow-up salesman on open quotes, you decide how. It can line up every follow-up for your people to make, or reach out itself in your shop's name, as an AI assistant, in words you approved before it went live. Nothing with a price on it goes out until you or your estimator sign off. Any buyer you'd rather handle yourself stays off its list.

Tell me up front. We honor every data security requirement you work under, from ITAR to your customers' own rules, and we build securely to meet them. We agree on what's in scope before I see anything. A lot of the money between quote and invoice sits in your quotes, billing and job costs, not in a print. Anything an ASIE writes for the floor, like a setup sheet or a work instruction, goes through your own document control before anyone uses it.

You may not need more. Then we look hardest at the work you already did... extras and engineering changes that never got billed, jobs quoted under what they really cost to run, invoices stuck waiting on a cert or a PO fix. And a full shop can afford to price the next quote like a full shop. Your Roadmap shows which one matters most for you.

No. The diagnosis is my judgment, from 25 years of finding money for companies like Corel and Microsoft. I won't tell your machinists how to hold a tolerance... your people know the floor. I look for the money that slips away between quote and invoice. AI is the tool that does the work once we know where the money is. If the best move doesn't need AI, like raising the price on a part you've been losing money on, I'll tell you.

You wouldn't quote a part without seeing the print. A free call can tell us whether we should talk. It can't find the money. That takes the real work... interviews, your quotes and job costs, and ASIEs built and working.

An Autonomous Super Intelligent Employee. It's an AI employee that does one job well, 24/7, alongside your team or on its own. Think of a follow-up salesman who calls back every open quote, or an invoice checker who bills every extra and change order. It takes the job nobody on your team ever has time for, so your best people stay on what only they can do.

About two weeks for your Profit Engine to be up and running, with your Roadmap and your first ASIE. If something's bigger than two weeks allows, we trim the scope and keep the date.

For you, between 30 minutes and 3 hours in all. That's an interview, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and a walkthrough of your Roadmap when it's ready. For your team, short conversations, only where they help. Nobody has to build or maintain anything.

Then you get your money back. You approve the 10x at your Roadmap readout, before anything is built. If we can't show at least 10x your fee, we refund your deposit and the Roadmap is yours.

Every dollar we count names the process it comes from and ties to a number from your own books. Nothing gets counted twice. Recurring revenue counts only for as long as your average customer really stays. If they stay three months, a saved subscription counts as three months. If they stay twelve, it counts as twelve. If a fix should keep customers longer, I count that only when your own data can prove it. You see every line, and you and I sign off on the total together.

About $100 to $500 a month in total, not per ASIE, starting after delivery. Simpler builds cost less, complex ones a little more. That keeps your ASIEs running.

Read-only access where possible. We sign a non-disclosure agreement, so everything you share stays confidential. Your data stays yours, and nothing is shared or mixed with anyone else's. I keep none of it unless your hosting needs it or we agree to it. If we stop working together, you get all of it back, and I verify every copy is deleted.

Start with how many gaps are costing you money. One clear gap, like open quotes nobody chases, one ASIE. Two or more, like quoting and billing, the bigger options. More than three, or more than one plant, we'll scope it with you on a call. Not sure? Call my AI front desk or talk it through with Joshua AI, and we'll size it together.

That's up to you. Some owners run with the Roadmap themselves. If you want more ASIEs built, your fee carries forward. Start within 60 days of your Roadmap and every dollar you paid counts toward them. Either way, your ASIEs come with your own admin screen, so you can adjust them as you go and upload new files to keep training them.

Because I keep it small so each one gets my full attention before December 31.
