Get Your AI Strategy Report

A personalized analysis of your business — where AI can save you time, what to automate first, and a step-by-step roadmap. Claude interviews you, researches your industry, and delivers a report you can act on today.

This guide works standalone. No setup required — just open Claude Desktop and start talking.

Before & After

Before

You know AI is changing things but have no idea where to start. You've seen ChatGPT demos but can't connect them to your actual daily work. Consultants want $5,000 for an "AI readiness assessment." You keep putting it off.

Every month you wait, competitors who figured it out pull further ahead.

After

30 minutes with Claude. You answer questions about your business, your pain points, your goals. Claude produces a strategy report: your top 5 automation opportunities ranked by impact, a 6-month implementation roadmap, and direct links to the guides that get each one done.

You know exactly what to do first, second, and third. No $5,000 consultant required.

What You Need

Claude Desktop installed — follow the setup guide if you haven't yet
30 minutes — for the interview and report generation
Honesty about your business — the report is only as good as the information you provide

Tell Claude About Your Business

Open Claude Desktop and tell it you want a strategy report. Claude will ask you about:

Your business name, industry, and what you do
Number of employees and approximate revenue
Your website (if you have one)

Be specific. The more context Claude has, the more useful the report.

Describe Your Pain Points

Claude will ask about your daily frustrations:

"What are the 3–5 tasks that eat up the most of your time every week? Be specific — not 'admin work' but 'manually entering invoice data from emails into my spreadsheet.'"

This is where the report gets its power. Generic pain points produce generic recommendations. Specific problems produce specific solutions.

Define Your Goals

Claude asks what success looks like:

"If AI could fix ONE thing in your business in the next 90 days, what would it be?"

"What does success look like for your business in 12 months?"

"What's your budget range for tools and technology?"

Get Your Report

Claude generates a comprehensive strategy report covering:

Executive Summary — your business at a glance

Top 5 Automation Opportunities — ranked by impact

Competitive Landscape — how AI is used in your industry

6-Month Implementation Roadmap — what to do and when

Investment Analysis — costs vs. savings

Next Steps — 3 things to do this week, with guide links

The report links directly to Tsidai guides for each recommendation — so you can go from strategy to implementation immediately.

What You've Built

A personalized AI strategy report based on your actual business data
A ranked list of automation opportunities with estimated time savings
A phased implementation roadmap you can start following today
Direct links to the guides that implement each recommendation
A document you can share with a partner, advisor, or accountant

This is the starting point. The report tells you what to automate and why. The guides tell you how. And if you want hands-on help, that's what the starter session is for.

Full Procedure (click to expand)

STEP 1 — LEARN THE BUSINESS
Ask these questions ONE AT A TIME, waiting for each answer:
1. "What's your business name and what do you do? (One sentence a stranger would understand.)"
2. "What industry are you in?"
3. "How many employees do you have?"
4. "What's your approximate annual revenue range? (Ballpark is fine — under $100K, $100K-$500K, $500K-$1M, $1M-$5M, $5M+)"
5. "Do you have a website? If so, what's the URL?"
STEP 2 — UNDERSTAND THE PAIN
Ask:
6. "What are the 3-5 tasks that eat up the most of your time every week? Be specific — not 'admin work' but 'manually entering invoice data from emails into my spreadsheet.'"
7. "What's the thing that frustrates you most about running your business day-to-day?"
8. "Have you tried any software, apps, or AI tools before? What worked and what didn't?"
STEP 3 — DEFINE GOALS
Ask:
9. "If AI could fix ONE thing in your business in the next 90 days, what would it be?"
10. "What does success look like for your business in 12 months?"
11. "What's your budget range for tools and technology? (Free only, under $100/mo, $100-$500/mo, $500+/mo)"
STEP 4 — GENERATE THE REPORT
Once you have all answers, generate a comprehensive strategy report with these sections:
1. **Executive Summary** — 3-4 sentences capturing who they are and the biggest opportunity
2. **Business Snapshot** — Summary of their business, industry, size, revenue
3. **Pain Point Analysis** — Their stated problems mapped to potential AI solutions
4. **Automation Opportunities** — Rank the top 5 opportunities by impact and ease of implementation. For each: what it is, how AI handles it, estimated time savings, and which Tsidai guide covers it (link to https://tsidai.com/guides/[slug])
5. **Competitive Landscape** — Brief analysis of how AI is being used in their industry
6. **Implementation Roadmap** — A phased plan: what to do in Week 1, Month 1, Month 3, and Month 6
7. **Investment Analysis** — Estimated costs (tools, time, consulting) vs. estimated savings
8. **Recommended Next Steps** — The 3 most impactful things they should do this week, with links to the relevant Tsidai guides
Save the report as strategy-report.md in their project folder.
STEP 5 — POINT FORWARD
After delivering the report, suggest:
- Start with the #1 recommended action
- Set up the Two Tabs foundation (https://tsidai.com/guides/two-tabs) if they haven't already
- Book a starter session at https://cal.com/tsidai/starter-session if they want hands-on help
