AI Readiness Sprint
Two weeks, $9,500, fixed. We find where your staff's hours go, rank the AI uses that would pay for themselves, build a working prototype of the best one and give you a costed roadmap.

Led by Tyler Kent, who has designed and shipped 10+ AI products to production. His background
Built for
- Hospitals, health centers, medical groups and health-tech companies asked for an AI plan
- Organizations with several AI pilots and no plan connecting them
- Leaders who want to know what to skip before they buy
- Teams that want to try a working tool before paying for a build
Why it's worth it
Today
AI ideas arrive one at a time, from vendors, staff and the board, and nobody can say which would save real hours. Pilots start without a baseline, so later no one can tell whether they worked.
After
In two weeks you know the three uses that pay for themselves, what each costs to build and run, and which to skip. Your team has already tried a prototype of the first one.
What you get
Days 1–3
Where the hours go
Interviews with the people who do the work and a look at the systems they use: the EHR, scheduling, billing, the shared inbox and fax queue, and the spreadsheets. We sum up what we find on one page that shows how many hours each workflow takes.
Days 4–8
Ranked opportunities
Each credible AI use scored by hours saved against what it costs to build and run, plus the ones to skip and why.
Days 4–8
A working prototype
A first working version of the top idea, such as a tool that drafts replies to the billing inbox. It runs on sample or de-identified data (patient details removed) so your team can try it.
Days 9–10
Readout and roadmap
The top three opportunities, with what each costs, which to do first and what could go wrong, walked through with your leaders and delivered as an editable document in your template, ready for the board.
Your team's time
About three hours in week one, two hours in week two, and a 60- to 90-minute readout.
Most of it is interviews with the people who do the work, such as the front desk lead, the billing manager or a charge nurse. They know where the hours go.
Who does the work
Tyler Kent
Tyler has guided multiple organizations on how to put AI into practice, and he designs and ships AI products, so he can estimate what each item on your roadmap would cost to build and run.
He has written about how he weighs those costs in Where healthcare AI pays off in 2026 budgets and Building AI so each project makes the next one cheaper.

A ranked list of AI uses with costs, a working prototype and a roadmap for your board.
What's included in AI Readiness Sprint
- Interviews and a one-page map of where staff hours go
- Every credible AI use ranked by hours saved against cost, and the ones to skip
- A working prototype of the top use, on sample or de-identified data
- A 60- to 90-minute readout for your leaders
- A costed roadmap, editable, in your own template
Not sure you need two weeks? Start with the AI Leadership Workshop for $3,500, one time, credited in full toward the Sprint if you book it within 90 days.
Payment and terms
- Half at signing and half at delivery
- Paying by purchase order? There's no deposit: we invoice half at kickoff and half at acceptance
- If we find in the first three days that AI won't pay off for you, we return your deposit
- Sample or de-identified data only
- The fee counts toward a Custom AI Tool build within 90 days
Start and finish dates are set in writing in your proposal.
Questions
Do you need patient data?
No. The Sprint runs on sample or de-identified data, meaning patient details are removed. Nothing with patient information leaves your systems.
Is the prototype real software?
Yes. It's a working first version that your team can use on sample data in week two. The roadmap says what it would take to run it every day.
What if AI won't pay off for us?
Then we tell you early. If we find nothing worth building in the first three days, we stop and return your deposit.
How is this different from the workshop?
In the AI Leadership Workshop, your leaders spend a half day making decisions based on what they already know. The Sprint spends two weeks measuring where the hours go, puts a cost on each idea and builds a prototype of the best one.
What happens after?
Nothing is required. You can run the roadmap yourselves, have the first item built as a fixed-price Custom AI Tool (the $9,500 counts toward it within 90 days), or bring Tyler in as a fractional AI and data lead.
