Stop Buying AI Tools. Start Building an AI Strategy.
Four frameworks and a 30-day plan that turn your AI spend into measurable hours and dollars saved, no coding required.
You bought the subscriptions. ChatGPT for the office, maybe Copilot, a transcription tool from a conference. The invoices show up every month, but you can't name three tasks AI actually handles in your business, who owns them, or what they saved you. That's not an AI problem. That's a missing strategy.
This free guide gives you the thinking most vendors skip: the Friction Audit to find where your practice bleeds hours, the Three Buckets Rule to decide what AI can and can't touch, the One Owner Rule so systems don't quietly die, and the Proof Loop so you can defend every dollar. Then a specific 30-day plan, week by week, about six hours of your time total.
Montalvo Corp builds AI systems for legacy businesses: law firms, medical practices, financial advisors, trades, and churches. Everything here comes from real client work, explained in plain business language for smart operators, not developers.
