Second Opinion
Before you sign the AI contract.
Someone has quoted you for an AI build. We’ll tell you whether it’s the right thing to buy, including when the answer is that you already own it.
You’ve got a proposal in hand, or a demo that went well, or a vendor who has been very patient with you for three weeks. The number is real and the decision is yours, and nobody who has seen the proposal so far is paid to tell you not to do it.
So we look at what’s being proposed against what’s actually happening in your business, and we tell you whether it holds.
What We Check
Six things, before the money moves.
Whether it solves the problem you have
Proposals get written against the problem you described, and the one causing it is often somewhere else.
Whether the process underneath is ready
Automating a broken handoff makes a broken handoff faster.
Whether you already own it
Software you're paying for every month tends to do more than anyone turned on.
What should stay with a person
Judgment and accountability are architecture decisions, and they're much harder to move once the thing is running.
Whether anyone will use it
A build that works and sits unused gets called a technology failure when it's a design failure.
Whether the number makes sense
The comparison that matters is what the problem is costing you now.
Client Proof
What happened the last time.
An independent medical practice came to us wanting an AI build. We spent the time inside how the work actually ran, and the answer was no.
Two of the highest-priority fixes were already sitting inside software she paid for every month and nobody had switched them on. Other things needed people and handoffs sorted before technology belonged anywhere near them.
She didn’t buy the build. Four months later the manual faxing was gone, her front desk supervisor was finishing the week on time, and the nurses were handling prior authorizations on their own.
Your advice on the updates in my office was great. I truly appreciate the time and attention to detail that you provided. My life is much calmer now.

What You Leave With
A Focused Review starts at $1,500 and takes one decision. You get a straight read on what’s in front of you: whether the problem is the one worth solving, what should change, and what we’d do instead if we wouldn’t build it. If the proposal is good, we’ll say that too.
It is one of two ways into Clarify the Right Path. The wider one is a Strategic Roadmap, which looks across the business rather than at a single decision.
FAQ
Common Questions
Then we tell you what to do instead.
That has happened. An independent medical practice came to us for an AI build and left without one, because two of the fixes that mattered most were already inside software she paid for every month.
No.
You're paying Vero Dawn for the review. If we build what we recommend, that gets scoped and priced separately, and you'll know it before the review starts.
Then the question is what to do with what you've got.
That is Take It Further, and it applies to something another provider built the same as something Vero Dawn built.
A Focused Review starts at $1,500 and takes one decision.
A Strategic Roadmap starts at $5,000 and looks across the business rather than at one decision.
