Are we obliged to hire you for what comes next?

No. The diagnostic and the costed plan are delivered whether you carry on with LeadLoup or not. What follows stays your call, not an obligation buried in the opening engagement.

What does the diagnostic cost?

$1,500 CAD for Le Diagnostic: the interview, the written report and the review meeting, with the five hour guarantee. That is a fixed price, known before we start. The full engagement depends on scope, and Le Diagnostic is what tells you which scope you actually need before you commit a budget.

Does this work for a small team with nobody technical in house?

Yes. The diagnostic is built to be understood without technical background: every recommendation says what it returns and what it takes, in plain language rather than engineering jargon, even for a team of two or three.

What do we actually walk away with?

A written document: the diagnostic, the ranked use cases with their numbers, and a schedule, plus a meeting to go through it together. Not a talk you forget the following week, but something you can reread, annotate and pass around your team.

How does this differ from the other LeadLoup services?

The strategy work does not assume up front that the answer is an agent. The diagnostic can conclude that you need an agent that judges a situation, an automation that applies a rule, an integration that moves information between your tools, a plain process change with nothing bought, or that nothing should change for now because nothing returns enough to justify the spend. The recommendation follows the numbers, never the other way round.

AI strategy

By the end of the engagement you know what to build first, what it costs and what it returns.

The diagnostic replaces the hunch: we look at your real processes, put a number on what each use case would return, then rank them. The recommendation comes after the numbers, including when it says to build nothing at all.

Where the strategy work fits, and where it does not.

Yes, if

You can see AI changing something, without knowing where it would pay at your place.
Somebody already sold you an AI project that changed nothing about your days.
You want a costed plan before you commit a budget.

No, if

You already know what to build. Go straight to custom agents or automation and skip a step.
You are looking for somebody to validate a decision that is already made.
You expect a report to put on a shelf. What gets delivered is a plan to run, with numbers and an order.

How a diagnostic turns into a costed plan

The diagnostic
We look at the processes you run today: where the time goes, where requests pile up, where a manual answer costs real money. The picture is built from your own numbers and what happens at your place, not a generic list of use cases lifted from another trade.
The ranking, with numbers
Every use case gets an estimate of what it returns: time saved, revenue protected, or cost avoided. The cases are ranked from most to least profitable, with the assumptions behind each estimate written down beside it.
The plan
You leave with a document that says what to build first, what it should cost, and what it should return, with a budget range to plan against. The plan is yours, whether you execute it with LeadLoup, with another team, or in house.

Two ways to find out where you stand

In Quebec an IT consultant bills between $100 and $300 an hour, and you learn the total once the engagement is over. Le Diagnostic flips that: fixed price, fixed scope, and a guarantee with a number on it. You know the cost before starting, and the return before deciding what comes next.

Le Diagnosticrecommended

What can be solved with tools that already exist. At least five hours a week recovered, or you are refunded in full.
- A 45 minute interview about your real processes, not a questionnaire
- A written report: 3 to 7 tools, each with its cost, its setup time and the hours it gives back
- A four day start plan, ten minutes a day
- What each tool does with personal information, under Quebec's Law 25
- A 30 minute meeting to go through the report together
- The jobs no existing tool solves, named and set aside for later

Le Diagnostic is paid up front and credited against the full engagement if you decide to go further. The five hour guarantee is measured on your week, not on an industry average: if the report does not find them, it is not billed.
