The short version

Kept by Clip'd

Corey Ganon lays out a repeatable, productized AI service: a $999, 45-minute AI tools assessment for small businesses that diagnoses time drains and prescribes off-the-shelf tools, then converts many clients into higher-value implementations and retainers. He walks through the four-phase delivery (discovery, AI analysis, templated report, review), six+ upsells (from simple automations to knowledge systems), seven client-acquisition methods that need no audience or capital, and a recurring "AI concierge" retainer that yields effective $1,000/hour rates.

What it teaches

Productized prescription as leverage. Package discovery and expert research into a fixed, low-friction assessment that sells easily to busy small-business owners, then monetize the implementation as higher-ticket and recurring work. Apply this when your value is diagnostic insight plus curation of existing tools. Don't
Use AI to scale expert labor, but keep human QA. Feed recorded discovery transcripts into an LLM (Claude) or a trained skill to surface tool matches and hidden pain points, then review and swap tools based on context (business size, budget). Use when you need rapid, research-driven recommendations. Don't rely on raw AI
