The Quickstart is a 5-business-day engagement that delivers one written thing: a ranked map of where AI fits in your business and what to build first. No tools installed. No long commitments. Just clarity, in under a week.
A written read on where your business stands today: tools, processes, team structure, data flow, automation maturity. Honest, not hyped.
The three highest-leverage places AI can save your team time, ranked by impact and effort. Each explained in plain English with a "build this next" recommendation.
For each of the top 3, a written estimate of hours saved per week and dollar value over a year. So you can decide on math, not vibes.
Which AI tools fit YOUR business, given what you already use. Vendor-flexible recommendations, no affiliate links, no markup.
A one-page roadmap of what to do in the next 30 / 60 / 90 days, in priority order. If you want me to build it, the $497 credits toward your first Starter Build within 30 days. If you want to build it yourself, you have everything you need.
30-minute kickoff call. I confirm scope, walk through the post-yes intake form, and ask the questions I need answered to build a useful assessment.
I review your business, tools, and workflow offline. Map your current state. Identify the top automation opportunities. Run the savings math.
Internal QA pass on the deliverable. I make sure the recommendations actually fit your business, not a generic template.
30-minute debrief call where I walk you through the AI Roadmap. You get the written PDF. We talk about what to do next.
$497 isn't a discount. It's the price of getting a structured read on your business by someone who's done this before.
Most AI consulting starts at $5,000/month and asks you to commit before you've seen anything work. That's backwards.
The Quickstart flips it: I deliver written clarity first. If you want to keep going, $497 credits in full toward your first Starter Build within 30 days. If not, you have a useful map either way.
I've either earned the right to a longer conversation or I haven't. Both are fine.
Quickstart is the map. Starter Build is the actual build. The Quickstart tells you where AI fits and what to do first. Starter Build is when I come back and build one of those automations end to end. Most clients do Quickstart first to make sure we agree on what's worth building.
Yes. Book a discovery call and we go straight to scoping a Starter Build or Growth System. Quickstart is for owners who want a structured read before committing to a build.
If you book a Starter Build within 30 days of getting your Quickstart deliverable, the $497 applies in full against the Starter Build cost. So if Starter Build is $2,500, your net cost is $2,003. You're not paying twice for the discovery work. The credit doesn't apply to retainers, CLU, or Strategic Build scoping calls.
No. NRS is vendor-flexible. The Quickstart recommendations consider Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, Make, n8n, Supabase, and whatever you already use. CLU is the one exception, it runs on Claude by design.
Businesses below $500K revenue (you might not need a structured AI map yet, the free newsletter is enough). Businesses above $50M (you probably need a Strategic Build, not a $497 Quickstart). And anyone looking for sales coaching or rep training, NRS doesn't do that work.
Buy the Quickstart, get your kickoff call on the calendar, and have your written AI Roadmap by the end of the week.
Buy Quickstart: $497 →$497 credits toward your first Starter Build if booked within 30 days. Either way, the written AI Roadmap is yours.
