For owners of small businesses in Annapolis, Severna Park, Edgewater, Crofton, and the rest of the Bay Bridge corridor. A 20-minute Ai-led discovery call, an in-depth report in 3 days, and a plan in plain English you could put in motion next week. We are headquartered in Timonium, and we serve the Annapolis area virtually.
One offer, one price. A 20-minute Ai-led discovery call, an in-depth 7 to 10 page report 3 days later, and a 30-minute walkthrough on a call that fits your week. Flat $1,500. No retainer, no scope creep, no slide deck.
The work itself is the same whether you sit on Main Street in Annapolis, on the water in Edgewater, on Ritchie Highway in Severna Park, or in an office park off Route 3 in Crofton. The Ai discovery agent walks you through a structured conversation about how time and revenue move through your week. The report names 3 to 7 specific bottlenecks, each one priced and ROI'd against your actual numbers, with the tool to use, the install time, and what it costs.
The Annapolis area runs on a particular mix of businesses: state-government-adjacent consultancies, professional service firms, marine and boatyard operations, waterfront restaurants and hospitality groups, defense contractors working off Route 50, independent healthcare practices, and the real estate offices that move properties along the South River and the Magothy. We have the assessment built for that mix.
Honest about geography: we are based in Timonium, MD. That is roughly 45 minutes up Route 97 from downtown Annapolis. The 20-minute discovery call runs virtually, the report is delivered over email, and the walkthrough is a video call you take from wherever you are sitting.
The drive does not change the price. The drive does not change the timeline. We are not a Beltway firm with a downtown DC address and a junior associate priced at $350 an hour. We are a small Maryland operation that builds a report for Maryland small business owners. Annapolis is one of the metros we work in most often.

Honest answer: we are headquartered in Timonium, MD, which is about 45 minutes up the road from downtown Annapolis. We serve Annapolis-area owners virtually. The 20-minute Ai-led discovery call runs over a regular video link, and the report lands in your inbox 3 days later. We know the region: state-government rhythms, the marina seasons, the Bay Bridge commute that shapes when staff can and cannot be on site. We do not pretend to have an office on West Street. We do tell you the truth about what is actually wasting hours in your business, which is the part that matters.
Yes. A good chunk of our Annapolis-area work is with consultancies and professional service firms that sell into state government, defense, or county procurement. The assessment is built for that pattern: heavy paperwork cycles, compliance-shaped reporting, slow procurement timelines, and a small core team trying to keep all of it moving. We flag where Ai actually fits inside that environment and where it does not. Anything that touches CUI, ITAR, or sensitive contract data gets called out explicitly, with notes on the tooling that is appropriate for that work.
Beltway consulting firms typically run $15,000 to $50,000 for an Ai readiness engagement, with 4 to 6 weeks of meetings, slide decks, and a final presentation that often gets shelved. We deliver a single decision-grade document in 3 days for $1,500 flat. The trade-off is real: you do not get a glossy deck or a project manager. The plus side is also real. The plan is short, specific, and priced. Every recommendation comes with the tool name, the install time, and the ROI math. You can implement it next week with your team or hand it to a local IT partner.
That is the norm in this region, and the assessment is built to handle it. Marina operators, charter captains, waterfront restaurants, and seasonal hospitality businesses run on cycles where 70 percent of the revenue happens in 4 months. The bottlenecks change with the season: intake and bookings in spring, scheduling and payroll in summer, billing cleanup and contractor coordination in fall. We map all of it on the report and tag which fixes pay back inside one season versus over a full year. If a recommendation only pencils for businesses that run year-round, we will say so.
Start with the 2-minute fit check on the home page. If a full assessment fits, you can book the 20-minute call right after. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
