AI consulting · Chicago, Illinois
Multi-location practices, contractors dispatching crews from a yard, distributors in the corridors on the south and southwest sides, professional firms in the neighborhoods. Forty people, four systems, an owner who cannot see every desk: we sit down with all of them and write the plan.
First call is free. We come to your locations in the city.
Chicago's AI conversation happens in the Loop, and the Loop is not who this page is for. This page is for the companies that run the neighborhoods: the dental, physical therapy and medical groups with four locations from Beverly to Bridgeport, the contractor sending six crews out of a yard off 95th, the food distributors and light manufacturers in the Stockyards and Pilsen industrial corridors, the law, accounting and engineering firms in second-floor offices along Milwaukee Avenue. Companies of twenty to two hundred people, where the owner still knows every name but cannot see every desk, and where the work moves between locations, between the field and the office, between the person who quotes and the person who bills.
The AI Opportunity Assessment is built for companies of twenty or more, because that is the size where the handoffs start to cost real hours. Over two weeks we interview people at every level, from the managing partner to the dispatcher, the front desk and the person on the dock, and follow one job from the first call to the paid invoice. Every step that eats time or causes errors gets tagged and gets a number. You see all of it before any of it goes in the plan. Then you get the plan itself: what to do first, what is a big swing, what to leave alone, and the math behind each line.
Nothing in the plan requires buying software from us, and if the honest answer for one location is a better spreadsheet, the plan says so. We charge for the thinking. Building is optional. We schedule city visits in batches, so a company spread across three neighborhoods gets its interviews inside the first week and gets treated as one company, not three.
What we tend to find
Each site runs its own intake, scheduling and follow-up habits, and one person at the main office reconciles them by hand every Friday. Putting the three side by side is usually where the first hours come back.
Dispatch, change orders and job photos run through one foreman's phone, then get retyped into the estimate and the invoice a week later. The gap between what was done and what was billed hides in that week.
A customer emails a purchase order, the office types it in, the dock prints a pick list, and billing enters it again. In a sixty-person distributor that is a full-time job nobody hired for.
The assessment
The AI Opportunity Assessment runs the same way everywhere: we sit down with the people doing the work, map how a job actually moves, and hand you a written plan for where AI actually helps. Yours to keep, whether we build it or your own people do.

Oak Lawn, Homewood and Tinley Park sit just past the city limits to the south and southwest. The assessment runs the same way on either side of the line.
Questions
No. Multi-location companies are where the assessment earns its keep, because the handoffs between sites are usually where the hours go. We interview at each location and map the work across all of them as one company. If you are under twenty people, book the call anyway. We will tell you straight if two weeks is more than you need.
Thirty to forty-five minutes per interview, three to fifteen interviews depending on your size, all in the first week. We batch our city days and hold the interviews at your locations, so nobody on your side drives anywhere. The delivery date is set at kickoff, so the two weeks stay two weeks.
It changes what we look at, not how it runs. For a contractor with a yard off 95th and jobs from Beverly to Milwaukee Avenue, the leaks are almost always in the handoffs between the field and the office: dispatch, change orders, photos, the invoice. That is where the interviews start, and the map follows the job, not the address.
