Get my AI Roadmap. $997.The problem is the noise. Every week brings a new tool, a new framework, a new "this changes everything" thread. Most of it doesn't apply to your business. Some of it would actually help. You don't have the hours to test 50 tools to find the 4 that fit.
Meanwhile your team is still copy-pasting between three spreadsheets, your inbox is the source of truth for half the company, and you personally are doing work that an AI tool handles in 30 seconds for $7 a month. You just don't know which tool.
You don't need another AI thread. You need someone to tell you exactly what to install Monday morning.
I run Multiply CFO, a fractional CFO firm that helps growth-stage business owners turn financial data into operational decisions. For the last couple of years, in every engagement, I've watched the same pattern: business owners paying people $25 to $40 an hour to do work that off-the-shelf tools handle in seconds for less than a Netflix subscription.
Not exotic AI. Not vibe coding. Not "transformation." Just tools nobody told them about, sitting in plain sight.
Then one of my CFO clients, Nic at Royalty Renewables, used Claude Cowork (one of the tools I recommended) and uncovered over $300,000 his business was leaking that he didn't know about. The tool costs less than a single SaaS subscription.
That was the moment.
This work, finding the right AI tool for a specific business and pointing at exactly where it fits, shouldn't be locked behind a $7,000-per-month CFO retainer. It should be a $997 product anyone can buy.
So I built Bottleneck. We do the mapping. You get the plan. Most of the tools are free or under $50 a month. The whole thing pays for itself the first month.
I've spent 100+ hours of research and hands-on testing finding out which AI tools actually work inside real businesses. So you don't have to.

Every objection people have about AI assumes it means custom development or six-figure consulting engagements. That's not what this is. The tools we recommend are off-the-shelf, plug-and-play, selected for the friction your business has today. If you've ever signed up for Zoom, you can install everything in your Roadmap.
| The AI Roadmap. A custom analysis of your business that identifies the highest-leverage AI tools to install right now, the order to install them, the friction each one removes, and the hours per week you and your team get back. Includes the Pre-Call Questionnaire, the 20-minute intake call (where we surface the bottleneck), the personalized walkthrough video, and the 4-Day Quick Wins Plan. Delivered to your inbox within 48 hours. |

| Bonus 1: The Bottleneck Vendor Vault. A curated database of every tool we've ever recommended. Pricing, setup time, complexity rating, alternatives. Filterable by use case. Yours to keep. | $300 |
| Bonus 2: Hour Math Calculator. A spreadsheet that lets you plug in your hourly rate and any tool's cost + time savings, and instantly see annual ROI, payback period, and a verdict. The same one we use internally. | $150 |
| Bonus 3: AI Tool Negotiation Guide. A one-page guide listing every recommended tool that has partner pricing or hidden discounts, with the exact email script to ask. Often saves more than the cost of the Roadmap itself. | $250 |
Every tool in your Roadmap is selected specifically for non-technical owners. If a recommended tool requires code, an API, or a developer, it gets cut. We recommend things you can install in 15 minutes between meetings.
Most of what we recommend has a free tier or is under $50 a month per tool. The bigger return is the 5+ hours per week you get back. At $100 an hour, that's $2,000 a month in time, against typical tool spend that's a small fraction of one new hire.
Your Roadmap has a priority order. The 4-Day Quick Wins Plan tells you exactly which tool to install first, second, third, fourth. Most owners implement the top 4 and report back that they're done.
If your AI Roadmap doesn't identify at least 5 hours per week of reclaimable time across you and your team combined, fill out a 3-question form within 14 days of delivery telling us which recommendations missed the mark. We'll review and refund in full. You keep the Roadmap.
Roadmaps go out in weekly batches so every one gets the same hands-on review before it lands in your inbox.
Order by Wednesday 5pm CT and your Roadmap ships by Friday. Orders after Wednesday ship the following week.
Pay, pick a time on the calendar for your intake call, and you'll get the Pre-Call Self-Assessment to fill out beforehand (15 minutes if you do it right).
A team member calls you from the number in your confirmation email. The call surfaces where work is actually getting stuck in your business. No prep beyond the worksheet. No Zoom, no video.
Your custom Roadmap lands in your inbox. Personalized walkthrough video. Access to the Vendor Vault, Hour Math Calculator, and Negotiation Guide. Start Day 1 of your Quick Wins Plan that afternoon.
20 to 25 minutes. We ask, you talk.
No. If a tool requires code, it doesn't go in your Roadmap.
We offer AI implementation coaching after delivery. You'll see the options in your Roadmap. Don't decide on it until you have the Roadmap in hand. Most owners run with the Quick Wins solo and only opt into coaching for the bigger projects.
If we don't find at least 5 hours per week of reclaimable time across you and your team combined, you get every dollar back within 14 days of delivery. You keep the Roadmap.
Business hours from your intake call. Talk to us Monday, get your Roadmap Wednesday. Talk Friday, get it Tuesday.
A real AI consultant would charge $5,000+ for this scope. We charge less because we've productized the work. Same outcome, smaller price tag, faster turnaround.
Nothing. It would take you 100+ hours of research and hands-on testing, and you'd probably miss the highest-impact tools because you don't know what you don't know. The $997 is for our judgment, the curated tool universe, and the 48-hour delivery.
Yes. If you have recurring work eating your week, you qualify. Solo operators often see bigger time savings because every hour back goes straight to revenue-producing work instead of getting absorbed by a team.
One $997 payment. 20 minutes of your time on the intake call. 48 hours of waiting. Your custom Roadmap, a personal video walkthrough, the Vendor Vault, the Hour Math Calculator, and a 4-day plan you can actually execute. If we don't find 5+ hours per week your team can reclaim, full refund.
