Where are you starting?

Which of these sounds like you?

Recommendation

Start with an AI-Readiness Assessment

The assessment examines the data behind your first AI use case, ranks what needs fixing by severity, and ends with a scoped plan and a fixed price.

Services

Three lines of work, one plan.

Available separately or together. Most clients start with Data Readiness, which begins with an AI-Readiness Assessment, because AI tools can only be as accurate as the records they read.

Data ReadinessIncludes the AI-Readiness Assessment

Make your data usable by AI

RDS starts with an AI-Readiness Assessment of the data behind your first AI use case, then cleans, de-duplicates, and structures that data so AI tools return answers you can trust.

You receive

  • An AI-Readiness Assessment: a scorecard and findings ranked by severity
  • A remediation plan with a price for each step
  • Cleaned, de-duplicated records with one agreed source of truth
  • A data dictionary and handling guidance for sensitive fields
Workflow and Automation

Put usable data to work

Once the data is trustworthy, RDS builds the workflows, integrations, and AI assistants that remove manual steps: moving information between systems, weekly reports, intake forms, and assistants that answer from your own records.

You receive

  • A working, tested automation
  • A runbook covering operation, monitoring, and failure handling
  • A handoff session for your team
Project Documentation

Analysis and project documentation

PMP-led analysis and documentation, one project at a time. RDS redesigns the process around the new tool, sets clear rules for sensitive data, keeps leaders informed, and closes with a report comparing your numbers before and after.

You receive

  • A project plan with clear owners
  • Data handling and AI use policies your team can follow
  • Status updates a leader can read in two minutes
  • A closeout report with before-and-after results

How It Works

Four steps from first message to measured results

Every engagement follows the same path, so you always know what comes next and what you will receive.

  1. Start a conversation

    Tell RDS about your organization and the problem you’re solving. RDS replies with a few questions.

    Reply within two business days

  2. Agree on scope and price

    You receive a written scope and price before any work begins. Data is exchanged only after a signed agreement.

    Written scope and price

  3. Assess, fix, and build

    RDS records your starting baseline, then assesses the data, cleans it, and builds the automations and documents in scope.

    Baseline recorded

  4. Hand off and measure

    Your team gets a runbook and a handoff session. A closeout report compares your numbers before and after.

Results

Why start with the data

Most small businesses already use AI in some form. Far fewer have it working inside core operations. That gap usually comes from the data and the process: automation tools depend on high-quality, well-structured data. The full research is summarized in Evidence and ROI.

How results are measured

Every RDS project records a starting baseline (hours spent, error rates, and turnaround time) and measures the same items at closeout, so you see your own results.

Estimate your time savings
Hours back per year384
Estimated yearly value$13,440

Benchmark: at the St. Louis Fed average of 2.2 hours saved per AI user per week, the same team would recover about 422 hours ($14,784) a year.
