The gap

76% of US small businesses use AI. 14% say it's embedded in how the business runs. The 62 points in between are where the money is.

Take one industry we know well: among freight forwarders and customs brokers, 18% have implemented AI, and 48% say the top barrier is nobody inside the firm who knows how.

You don't need another tool. You need a plan somebody's accountable for.

What you get

  • A 90-minute intake call, in English or Spanish

  • The 13-dimension innovation assessment, scored

  • A Lightning Sprint on your biggest challenge

  • The written Innovation Agenda: a 5-week plan with a go/no-go at week 2

  • A 60-minute readout with your leadership team

  • Your Systematiq account, with the plan in the AI CIO’s memory

  • The full fee credited against your first 3 months of the CIO Retainer

Who it's for

Companies with roughly 10 to 250 employees, run by an owner or a small leadership team, with real operations to improve. You have customers, revenue, and a process somebody could draw on a whiteboard.

Customs brokers and freight forwarders, manufacturers, distributors, clinics, trades, professional service firms. The 13 dimensions score any of them, and the Sprint works on whatever your biggest problem turns out to be.

How the two weeks run

  1. Week 1

    Intake call, assessment, and document review.

  2. Week 2

    Sprint, the Agenda, and the readout on day 14.

  3. After

    Your CIO checks in every Monday and asks for the number at week 2.

What a chat window can't do

  • It remembers what you decided in March when you ask in September.

  • It checks in every Monday with what's due and what slipped.

  • It kills the project at week 2 if the number doesn't hold, instead of letting it drift for a year.

  • It works in Spanish with your team and in English with your customers.

  • A person you can call signs the Agenda.

Questions

What if we don't continue after the Assessment?
You keep the Agenda, the assessment, and a free Systematiq account. There's no contract.
Is our data safe?
Your data lives in your own account. Systematiq runs on Anthropic's Claude through the API, which doesn't train on customer data. We don't sell or share it.
Can we pay from Mexico or another country?
Yes. Card payments work internationally, including from Mexico, and we invoice in USD.
