The Profit Roadmap

Before 2027 Starts, Find the Profit You're Leaving on the Table... and Put Your First AI Employee to Work Bringing It In

I find the profit hiding in your business first. Then I build AI employees that work 24/7 to bring it in, for far less than a new hire.

Joshua AI answers that number. It can answer any question, clarify anything, work through your situation with you, and book you a time with me if you qualify.

Your profit targets are already in your business

You're making money. That's why you're in business.

But the extra profit you want is already inside your company. You're busy running it, so some of that profit slips through the gaps... quotes nobody had time to chase, customers who drifted away, systems that don't talk to each other.

Everyone's rushing to bolt AI onto their business. Put AI on a broken process and you get a broken process that runs faster... and costs you more.

So I find the profit first. Then I build the AI employee to go get it.

What's an ASIE?

Autonomous Super Intelligent Employee

An AI employee that does one job well, 24/7. It works alongside your team, or runs the job on its own.

One ASIE might be...

  • A follow-up clerk who calls back every quote that didn't close.
  • An invoice auditor who checks every invoice against every contract, PO and delivery... not a sample.
  • A data-entry clerk who keys the same order into three systems, so nobody else has to.
  • A customer reader who reads every email, text and ticket, and flags the unhappy customer before they leave.

Want to see everything an ASIE can do? See the full list.

That's Joshua AI. It can answer any question, work through your situation with you, and book you a time with me if you qualify.

How it works

Your Roadmap and first ASIE in about two weeks.

  1. Discovery.

    You, me and your key people walk through how the business really runs and dig into your real numbers.

  2. Deep 80/20 analysis.

    Operations and marketing, all of it, to find the few things that make the real money.

  3. Your Roadmap, and your first ASIE at work.

    Your highest-return moves to make right now... system updates, processes and ASIEs, each with a dollar figure. Then I build your first ASIE right away.

What you get

  • Your Profit Roadmap. Your top 3 profit opportunities, ranked by what each one is worth.
  • Your hidden-profit number. The dollars sitting in those gaps, counted line by line from your own books.
  • Your first ASIE, built and working. AI that does one job well, like answering your phones or following up on quotes.

What I need from you

  • Between 30 minutes and 3 hours of your time in all. That's an interview, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and a walkthrough of your Roadmap when it's ready.
  • Short conversations with a few of your key people, only where they help.
  • Access to the whole business, like your marketing, invoices, financial records and any training your team works from. A non-disclosure agreement keeps all of it confidential.
  • Nobody on your team has to build or maintain anything.

Your fee carries forward. Add more ASIEs within 60 days of your Roadmap and every dollar you paid counts toward them.

Hosting runs about $100 to $500 a month in total, not per ASIE, after delivery.

Terms. Half to start. Half on delivery.

Not sure how many you need? That's normal.

My promise to you

If I don't show you at least 10 times my fee in profit opportunity, you don't pay the second half.

That's at least $25,000 on a $2,500 Roadmap. Every dollar comes from your own numbers, line by line, so you can check the math.

Under 10x, we stop there and you keep your Roadmap.

Every dollar I count names the process it comes from and ties to a number from your own books. Nothing gets counted twice. You and I sign off on the total together.

What happens when I build the employee

Real companies. Real systems. Every number here is from a real client.

CopywriterMarketer

37,000 students

Mentored on their own custom learning paths by one AI system I built.

BrickROI

40 days

From zero to built, branded and selling.

"Another team burned six months and $57,500 of mine with nothing to show for it. Joshua had my whole platform built, branded, and selling in under 40 days. He doesn't just write code, he understood my business and built exactly what it needed."
Founder, BrickROI

AI Beauty Consulting

10 hours to 30 minutes

For every client assessment, with no drop in quality.

"Every client assessment ate more than ten hours, and I was the only one who could do them. Joshua built me an AI system that runs the whole thing in my own voice, and now it takes about thirty minutes with no drop in quality. He handed me back my business."
Susan Kuse, Founder, AI Beauty Consulting

TabulaWorks

1 system

Runs an entire company's daily operations.

"Joshua engineered the AI operating system that runs TabulaWorks. The daily operations and follow-up that used to eat our team's evenings are all carried by the system now. It runs without us, and it's why we can serve the clients we do. He understands the business as well as the engineering, which is almost impossible to find."
John Hare, Co-Founder, TabulaWorks

The work hasn't changed. I find the money.

What's new is that I can now build the employee that goes and gets it.

Claim 1 of 10 spots before December 31.

Your Roadmap plus your first ASIE in about two weeks. From $2,500.

I keep it small so each one gets my full attention.

Is this a fit?

This is a fit if...

  • You own the business, or run it with real authority.
  • You're already making money, and you know the business should be making more.
  • Work slips through the gaps... quotes nobody chases, invoices that go out late, customers who drift, systems that don't talk.
  • You want it found and fixed in weeks, not studied for months.
  • You'd rather fix one thing well than buy another tool.

It's not a fit if...

  • You want a quick software recommendation. I'll happily point you to one.
  • You'd rather nobody looked at the numbers. That's fair. This needs them.
  • You want AI for its own sake, not for profit.

Questions and answers

What exactly do I get?

Your Profit Roadmap with your top 3 opportunities, your hidden-profit number in dollars, and your ASIEs built and working. One, two or three, depending on the option you pick.

What's an ASIE?

An Autonomous Super Intelligent Employee. It's AI that takes one job in your business and does it well, 24/7, alongside your team or on its own. Think of a follow-up clerk who calls back every quote, or an invoice auditor who checks every invoice.

How long does it take?

About two weeks for your Roadmap and your first ASIE. If something's bigger than two weeks allows, we trim the scope and keep the date.

How much of my time does it take?

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.

What if you don't find anything?

Then you don't pay the second half. If I can't show you at least 10 times my fee in profit opportunity, we stop there and you keep your Roadmap.

How do you count the 10x?

Every dollar names the process it comes from and ties to a number from your own books. Nothing gets counted twice. You see every line, and you and I sign off on the total together.

Is this an AI pitch?

No. The diagnosis is my judgment, from 25 years of finding money for companies like Corel and Microsoft. AI is the tool that does the work once we know where the money is. If the best move doesn't need AI, I'll tell you.

What does hosting cost?

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.

Where does my data go?

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.

How many ASIEs do I need?

Start with how many jobs are costing you money. One clear job, one ASIE. Two or more, the bigger options. More than three, or several locations, that's Enterprise. Not sure? Call my AI front desk or talk it through with Joshua AI, and we'll size it together.

Why pay for this instead of a free consultation?

A free call can tell us whether we should talk. It can't find the money. This is the real work... interviews, your numbers, and ASIEs built and working.

What happens after?

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.

Why only 10?

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

The AI employees I can build for you

I call them ASIEs, short for Autonomous Super Intelligent Employees.

Each one takes a single job and runs it start to finish.

Think of these as ideas, to show you what's possible.

The job nobody wants.

It's tedious, it never ends, and it grinds down whoever gets stuck with it. So it gets done late, done badly at eleven at night, or not at all.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • A data-entry clerk who keys the same order into three systems, so nobody else has to
  • A paperwork matcher who pairs every bill of lading, delivery receipt and invoice
  • A reporting clerk who builds the monthly numbers, so nobody loses three days to spreadsheets
  • A collections clerk who chases every past-due invoice, politely, on day 1, 15 and 30
  • A credits clerk who files every warranty claim, vendor credit and short-ship you're owed
  • A timesheet matcher who matches hours to job tickets to invoices
  • A renewals clerk who tracks every license, certification, insurance policy and DOT renewal before it lapses
  • A process writer who writes down how things really get done, before the person who knows retires
  • A new-hire buddy who answers the same 40 questions for every new employee, patiently
  • An inbox sorter who reads the shared inbox, routes every message and drafts every reply

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A follow-up clerk who calls back every quote that didn't close
  • An inquiry chaser who follows up on every lead that didn't book
  • A win-back rep who reaches out to every customer who hasn't ordered in 90 days
  • An exit interviewer who asks every customer who left why they left
  • A review asker who thanks every customer and asks for a review or a referral after every job
  • A CRM keeper who logs every call and keeps every contact clean
  • A bid-desk clerk who answers every request for a quote the same day it lands
  • A listings keeper who updates your website, Google profile and directories the minute anything changes
  • A storyteller who turns every finished job into a case study and a social post

The job you could never justify a salary for.

The work would pay for itself. But a full-time salary just for this? You could never justify it, and some of it you couldn't afford even if you wanted to. So it never gets done.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • A scheduler who rebuilds the schedule every time someone calls in sick, and keeps labor in line with sales
  • A profit analyst who knows which customers, crews and products actually make you money
  • A pricing analyst who checks the margin on every job and every product, every week
  • A cash-flow forecaster who updates your 13-week forecast every morning
  • A rebate hunter who finds every tax credit, grant and utility rebate you qualify for
  • A purchasing agent who shops every big purchase across every vendor
  • A maintenance planner who schedules service on every truck and machine before the breakdown
  • A quality analyst who reviews every inspection and every return for the pattern
  • A trainer who turns every procedure into a step-by-step walkthrough
  • A chief of staff for the owner: inbox, drafts, meeting prep and follow-ups

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A competitive analyst who studies 50 competitors every single day
  • A prospect researcher who studies every prospect and writes each one a personal letter
  • A marketing team that runs the research, ads, posts and split tests, end to end
  • A dev team that builds the app the last team couldn't
  • A key-account manager for the small accounts nobody ever calls
  • A bid scout who reads every public bid and RFP in your region
  • A bilingual rep who answers every customer in Spanish, or any other language
  • A proposal writer who turns a site visit into a finished quote the same afternoon

The job no human could ever do.

Not too expensive. Impossible. No person can watch everything, read everything and remember everything, all day, every day, forever.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • A crop analyst who watches every weather station, all day, every day
  • An invoice auditor who checks every invoice against every contract, PO and delivery... not a sample
  • A fleet watcher who tracks every truck's location, fuel and hours at once, and flags the one going wrong
  • A margin watcher who spots the one product out of 4,000 whose margin slipped 2%
  • A machine watcher who reads every sensor and machine log for the pattern before a failure
  • A night reconciler who matches thousands of transactions across your bank, your books and your ERP every night
  • A market watcher who tracks fuel, feed and commodity prices minute by minute, and tells you when to buy
  • A contract keeper who knows every renewal date and price increase across 300 vendors
  • A schedule tester who tries next month's schedule 1,000 ways to find the cheapest one

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A one-to-one writer who sends every customer a personal email based on what they bought
  • A split tester who runs dozens of ad and page tests at once, and never forgets a result
  • A call listener who hears every sales call and flags the deal about to slip
  • A customer reader who reads every email, text and ticket, and flags the unhappy customer before they leave
  • A territory scout who reads every permit, new-business filing and job posting in your area, every day
  • A perfect memory that recalls every conversation with every customer from the last ten years, in three seconds
  • An order watcher who tells every customer their order is running late, before they ask
  • A reputation watcher who reads every review of you and every competitor, every day
  • A quote checker who reviews every outgoing quote for mistakes before it goes out

Which ones sound like your business? Your Roadmap tells us which to build first.
