AI assessment and implementation for owner led businesses, 1 to 12 people

Find at least 5 hours a week hiding in your business.

You didn't build a business to do admin. All the benefits of AI, none of the learning curve.

You're sure AI can help. You just don't have the time to work out how. We tell you where AI saves you time in your business, not what AI could theoretically do. A 45 minute call with Danni, our AI business analyst, a personalised report in 48 hours, and a Results Session to walk it through together. If we don't find at least 5 hours a week, it's free.

For owner led teams of one to twelve people. No tech background needed. If you or your team spend evenings on admin that should run itself, you are exactly who this is for.

100% money back guarantee

At least 5 hours a week found, or a full refund.

The minimum your report identifies as recoverable, or you get a full refund. If your business is anywhere near average, that's a promise we can make with complete confidence.

The rate we cost your admin time at: what it would cost to delegate the work, never your own charge out rate. Smaller numbers, believable numbers.

01 · Who this is for

We work with owners who want a more efficient, more productive and more profitable business.

Owner led teams of one to twelve people. No tech background needed. If you or your team are spending evenings on admin that should run itself, you are exactly who this is for.

AI won't replace your team.

At one to twelve people it almost never does. What it replaces is the part of everyone's job they hate and are worst at: the retyping, the chasing, the copy and paste between systems.

It frees your team from the admin so they can do the work that grows the business. The work they were actually hired to do, and the work they enjoy.

02 · The problem

The admin never announces itself. It just settles on whoever cares most.

Individually, every one of these is too small to mention. Collectively, they are the entire problem.

Every week

Chasing unpaid invoices

Forty minutes chasing one payment, and the awkward email that keeps getting postponed.

Every day

Retyping between systems

The same eight fields copied from one platform into another, by hand.

Every enquiry

Quotes written from scratch

The quote your business has written ninety times, rebuilt again from a blank page.

Every meeting

Booking back and forth

Three emails to land one meeting, multiplied across everyone's diary.

Every lead

Follow up that never happens

Leads go cold because nobody got round to the second message.

Every evening

The nine o'clock inbox

The admin that waits until the end of the day, because it is nobody's actual job.

This is not a time management problem.

The real problem is that your business runs on processes that only exist in somebody's head. Sometimes that's you. Just as often it's one person on your team, and everything waits on them.

Nothing can be delegated or automated until it has been described. So it stays where it landed, and it grows as the business grows. Getting those processes written down is most of the job. Once they are written down, automating them is the easy part.

9:00 pm

First we diagnose. Then we prescribe.

The assessment ends with a prescription, not just a report. You get the specific fixes in priority order, what each one saves you in hours and pounds, and a 60 minute Results Session where we walk it through together and agree exactly what happens next, and who does it.

03 · Your number

How many hidden hours are in your week?

Hidden hours are not just yours. They are spread across you and your team: the chasing, the retyping, the booking. Answer 15 questions in 3 minutes to see where your hours are going, and the three tasks AI should take off your plates first.

04 · How it works

The AOA Method: Assess, Optimise, Automate.

Three stages, and the reason we say “we use the AOA method”: Assess, Optimise, Automate, one workflow at a time. You never commit to the whole thing up front.

InvoicingRetyping QuotesFollow up · how often · how long · who does it · current tools
01

Assess

A 45 minute deep dive with Danni, our AI business analyst, about how your week actually works, then a nine slide report in 48 hours: every opportunity costed, prioritised on effort against impact, and valued in hours and pounds using your own numbers. This is the assessment.

02

Optimise

Before any technology is added, we cut the wasted steps. Automating a tangled process just makes the tangle faster, so first the process gets simpler. This happens in working sessions, one workflow at a time.

Use your existing software Connect a ready made tool Build a custom automation when it can already do the job when the fix exists off the shelf only when the workflow earns it your ledger +6 hrs / week returned
03

Automate

We rebuild what remains in the right tool for the job, and if your existing software can already do it, we tell you that instead of selling you something new. Every session ends in your ledger: what was built, the hours returned, what that is worth a year.

The assessment is the Assess stage. The AI Concierge is where we Optimise and Automate.

05 · Meet Danni

Danni, our AI business analyst

Your discovery call is run by an AI agent. That's the point.

Danni, our AI business analyst, phones you and spends 45 minutes getting under the skin of your week: the chasing, the retyping, the inbox. No jargon, no tech questions, no prep needed.

People are more honest with her than with a consultant, because there is nobody to perform for. And twenty minutes in, you have had a natural conversation with an AI agent about your own business, which answers the biggest question you arrived with.

Then the human part starts. Christian, our Founder, reads every word of the transcript, builds your report himself, and runs your Results Session personally.

"The bit people find hardest to believe is that I am not on the fact finding discovery call at all. The bit they find most useful is that I have analysed the whole transcript before we sit down together."

Christian Rodwell, Founder, Simplish AI

Hear Danni for yourself: 75 seconds from a real discovery call, shared with permission.

07 · The offer

The Simplish AI Assessment, start to finish.

What happens when you book

01

A 45 minute deep dive call with Danni, our AI business analyst

She calls you on your mobile at a convenient time scheduled by you, and properly gets under the skin of the business. No prep needed.

02

Your personalised report, within 48 hours

Nine slides. Every recommendation costed, prioritised on effort against impact, and valued in hours and pounds using your own numbers, with every assumption shown. If your existing software can already do something, we tell you that rather than selling you a new tool.

03

Your Results Session, 60 minutes with Christian, our Founder

We walk the report together on a screen share, agree the numbers line by line, and you decide what to fix first and who does it: yourself, with us month by month, or as a one off project.

Your report is built entirely from your own numbers: the hours you told us each task takes, valued at what it would cost to delegate that work rather than at your charge out rate, with every assumption printed on the page.

If the maths doesn't make £997 look small, don't buy it.

TO DELEGATE IT

Based on 48 working weeks and a 7 hour day. The pound figure is what the work would cost to delegate, the most conservative way to value it, and it takes no account of what the reclaimed time could earn if it went into growing the business, which is where the real number lives. Your report tells you which of those hours are actually recoverable, one payment of £997 against that number.

08 · The guarantee

All the risk is on us. None of it is on you.

The Simplish AI Guarantee

Find at least 5 hours a week in your business, or you pay nothing.

A week identified, minimum
100%
Refund if we fall short

Hoops to jump through

We guarantee your report will identify at least 5 hours a week you and / or your team could get back, counted from your own stated hours, or you receive a full refund. No conditions, no forms, no quibbles.

The average UK small business owner spends 11 hours a week on admin and finance alone. If your business is anywhere near average, five is a floor, not a stretch. And the promise is about what the report identifies, never about hours you will go on to save. That part depends on what you choose to implement.

"If we can't find you five hours a week, the assessment is entirely on us. We're confident enough to put that in writing."

Christian Rodwell, Founder, Simplish AI

And if you do ask for a refund, we'll send you a personal note on exactly where to look next, because we'd rather leave you better off than we found you.

100% money back guarantee

09 · The founder

You'll be working with me, not a call centre.

Christian Rodwell, Founder of Simplish AI

I'm Christian Rodwell, Founder of Simplish AI. I've spent more than twenty years working with business owners, and one problem comes up more than any other: never enough time. It is the number one issue for almost every owner I meet, and it is exactly what Simplish AI is designed to solve.

I built Danni, our AI business analyst, and the systems behind your report. They are the same kind of automation we would put into your business. I read every transcript, I write every report myself, and your Results Session is with me personally.

I also host AI for Business Bournemouth, a free monthly meetup for non technical owners across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

I'll also tell you when the answer is no. If your existing software already covers something, your report says so, and if AI honestly isn't the right fix for a task, you'll hear that too. The numbers only work if you can take them to your accountant.

11 · Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Who actually runs the calls?

Your discovery call is run by Danni, our AI business analyst. We use the technology we recommend, and it is the fastest way to experience what AI can actually do. Everything after that is human: Christian, our Founder, reads the full transcript, builds your report himself, and runs your Results Session personally.

What happens on the Results Session?

Sixty minutes on a screen share with Christian, our Founder. We walk your report together, agree the numbers line by line, and you decide what to fix first: yourself, with our help month by month, or as a one off project. You leave with complete clarity either way.

What happens after the assessment? The AI Concierge

Your report ends with a 4 day quick win plan: exactly what to do first to implement the findings yourself. Some clients run with that alone. Most ask us to do it with them, which is what the AI Concierge is for: two working sessions a month where we take one workflow at a time through Optimise and Automate, a build sprint between sessions so your call time is spent implementing rather than troubleshooting, priority support by email or WhatsApp in between, and a quarterly review of the hours returned. £1,500 a month, rolling monthly, cancel with 30 days notice.

Do I need any technical knowledge?

None at all. If you can join a video call, you're good to go. Danni asks about how your week actually works, in plain English. There are no technical questions and no homework, before or after.

Will AI replace my team?

It almost never does at one to twelve people. What it replaces is the part of everyone's job they hate and are worst at. It frees your team from the admin so they can do the work they were actually hired to do.

How do I know the numbers are honest?

Every assumption is printed on the page. Admin time is valued at what it would cost to delegate the work, around £15 an hour, never at your own charge out rate, and we measure in hours identified rather than pounds promised. If anyone shows you a five figure saving built on your own hourly rate, check the assumption.

We already use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Does that change anything?

It helps, and no, you won't be asked to switch anything. Most businesses we see are already using one of them for the odd task, which is a good start but is not the same as a system: the value is usually sitting in the workflows nobody has connected yet. Your report works with whatever you already pay for, and existing systems come first: if your current tools can already do the job, we tell you that instead of adding another subscription. What you are paying for is not access to an AI tool, which you already have. It is someone whose job it is to know what actually works, applied to your specific business, measured in hours and pounds.

Five hours sounds small. What is it actually worth?

Five hours a week is the floor, and it recurs. Across 48 working weeks that is 240 hours a year, and it is rarely just you: the same fix usually gives time back to everyone doing that task. Most reports identify considerably more than five. The guarantee is deliberately set at a number we can stand behind for every business that books, not at the number we expect to find.

Is this designed for my size of business?

Yes. We work with owner led businesses from solo founders up to around twelve staff. Twelve is deliberate: it is the point Daniel Priestley calls the lifestyle boutique, where revenue per person is high and the business still runs through a small trusted team. If five or more hours a week are going on manual work, the maths works. That is the real test, not headcount.

Stop losing hours you will never get back.

We make AI genuinely simple for your business. Simplish, anyway.
