Assessment
Adaptiv Compass
A half-day on-site assessment that finds where AI fits in your business — and what to build next.
What you get
A focused visit with a small footprint and a clear written report.
- 30-minute pre-call to understand the business
- Half-day on-site (4 hours) with the owner and key operators
- Written report within 5 business days
- 30-minute review call to walk through the report and recommend next steps
The deliverable
Compass produces a written document you keep. Six standard sections, tailored to your business.
- Executive summary
- Forwardable, one page. Written so a board member or partner can act on it without context.
- Business context and current-state snapshot
- What you do, how you do it today, and where AI is likely to land hardest.
- Ranked opportunity map
- 3–5 opportunities, each scored on Impact, Effort, Confidence, and Timeline.
- Quick-win recommendations
- Things you can do this week, no consultant required.
- Prioritization matrix
- A single visual that turns the opportunity list into a sequencing decision.
- Recommended next step
- Whether that's a Presence redo, a Spark tool, an Engine build — or doing nothing for now.
The investment
$1,000, all-in.
One number, no hourly meter. And it doesn't evaporate — the full $1,000 credits toward whichever build comes next, whether that's Presence, Spark, or Engine, within 12 months. If the assessment says “don't build anything yet,” that's the deliverable working as intended.
Who it's for
A good fit
- Owner-run businesses, 5–200 people
- Owner-operators and leadership teams who know AI matters but don't know where it fits
- Main Street Midwestern firms — the specialty trades, professional services, clinics, restaurants, insurance agencies, and local retail
Not a fit
- Enterprises with >200 employees and existing AI strategy teams — everything we offer is sized below those needs
- Buyers who already know exactly what to build — they want Spark or Engine directly
Recommended next steps
Every Compass report points to one of three follow-on builds. For Spark and Engine, your $1,000 credits toward the build, within 12 months.
Foundation
Adaptiv Presence
$99/mo(no build fee)
If your existing site is the bottleneck — outdated, broken, or actively hurting the business — Compass may recommend a Presence redo as the first build.
Put it to work
Adaptiv Spark
$2,500+ $29/mo hosted(stackable)
Most Compass reports find one or two jobs ready to hand off right away. Spark turns each into a working tool in 3–4 weeks — and they stack.
Build
Adaptiv Engine
From $15K
When the right answer is a custom application — a web app with database, authentication, and hosting, or a coordinated team of AI agents — Engine is the build.
