What Is an AI Opportunity Map? (And Why StorenTech Won’t Start Free)


StorenTech AI is a full-service AI agency. We start every client with an AI Opportunity Map — an AI Opportunity Map, a paid engagement that maps your workflows, quantifies time and revenue leaks with your real numbers, and ranks which AI employee to hire first. It typically costs $1,000 ($2,000–$3,000 when complex). It is not a complimentary sales call.

That’s the whole pitch, stripped of the free-audit theater. Hire an AI employee after the math, not before.

What “the math” actually means

Most “AI audits” show you a demo and ask for a retainer. An AI Opportunity Map starts the other way: with the numbers you already run the business on.

We work from inputs you can verify — not vibes:

  • Labor hours — who answers the phone, inbox, and booking queue, and for how long
  • Conversation volume — calls, texts, web chats, form fills that need a human reply
  • Response time — minutes to first touch when a lead is hot vs when the desk is buried
  • Conversion / close rate — what happens after the first conversation reaches a human
  • After-hours leakage — nights, weekends, lunch; the leads that never get a callback
  • Error / rework — double-books, wrong CRM fields, missed follow-ups that create cleanup work

If you won’t share those numbers, we can’t do the analysis. If you will, we can tell you whether an AI hire is worth it — and where.

See how this sits in the commercial path on How it works.

What you get from the analysis

You don’t get a slide deck of industry averages. You get a decision-grade map built on your stack and your volumes:

  1. A ranked roadmap — which workflows leak the most money or time first
  2. Which named AI employee to hire first — usually a voice + chat role (speed-to-lead, booking, CRM), not a generic “chatbot”
  3. What that hire should earn — framed against the hours, response time, and after-hours leakage you brought in
  4. A clear go / no-go — if the math doesn’t hold, we say so

The analysis is the map. The hire comes after. Browse the job catalog on Work so you know what “named employee” means in our language.

Typical vs complex pricing

ScopeFeeWhen it applies
Typical AI Opportunity Map$1,000Single location or focused front-of-house: phone, inbox, booking, CRM handoff
Complex AI Opportunity Map$2,000–$3,000Multi-location, messy tech stack, wider than front-of-house, or several departments in scope

It is never complimentary. A free “AI audit” is a sales call with a checklist. You pay for a map you can act on — or walk away from.

What happens after the analysis

If the math holds:

  1. First named AI employee in 30 days — usually voice + chat covering speed-to-lead, booking, and CRM updates
  2. Then ongoing operator partnership, scoped after the map so the hire stays staffed and accountable. Pricing is set once we know the workload and locations — not before.

If the numbers don’t work, you keep the map and we don’t force a hire. That’s the point of paying for the analysis first.

Who this is for

Operators who have:

  • Conversation volume that actually moves revenue
  • A calendar that matters — bookings, consults, estimates, intakes
  • Willingness to share real numbers — hours, response times, close rates, after-hours miss

Verticals we already speak to (examples, not a closed list): dental and med spa, insurance, residential contractors, wealth and mortgage, professional services, home services.

If you’re shopping free AI audits because the pitch sounded easy, this isn’t that. If you want a go/no-go before you put an AI employee on payroll, it is.

Home positioning: Hire after the math.

FAQ

What is an AI Opportunity Map?

At StorenTech AI (a full-service AI agency), every client starts with a paid AI Opportunity Map — an AI Opportunity Map: we map your workflows with your real numbers, rank which AI employee to hire first, and give a go/no-go. Typical fee $1,000 ($2,000–$3,000 when complex).

How much does StorenTech’s AI Opportunity Map cost?

Typically $1,000. Complex scopes run $2,000–$3,000 (multi-location, messy stack, or broader than front-of-house).

Is the AI audit free?

No. StorenTech’s AI Opportunity Map is never complimentary. Free audits are sales calls; this is a paid map.

What happens if the numbers don’t work?

You keep the roadmap and we don’t push a hire. The analysis exists to produce a clear go/no-go — including no-go.

What is the first AI employee usually hired to do?

Usually voice + chat for speed-to-lead, booking, and CRM — the front-of-house jobs where missed conversations cost the most.

How is ongoing work priced after the analysis?

Ongoing operator partnership is scoped after the map. We do not name a monthly retainer until the AI Opportunity Map knows the workload and locations.
