It asks one main question, then a handful of follow-ups based on your answer. The whole thing takes 10-15 minutes. You can pause and come back, but most people finish in one go. Your answers stay between you and AdAI. We don't sell data or share with third parties.

Within a few minutes of finishing the diagnostic. Every report goes through AdAI's QA layer before it reaches you, so you're not getting raw AI output.

The report is yours to read, share, or ignore. If your bottleneck is one we'd like to write about, we may ask whether you'd be up for an interview, and we'll design the full blueprint for it, published free for you and for our readers. No pressure, no pitch. Most people just take the report and run with it, which is exactly what it's for.

Because giving away the thinking is what we do, and because the people who charge a fortune to make automation look hard have had it their own way for too long. AdAI is an editorial brand. We publish the blueprints and interviews behind how, and why, SMBs automate, free. The diagnostic is a small version of that: the same design thinking we put into a published blueprint, pointed at your business. If it's useful, subscribe and read the rest.

That's fine. Not every bottleneck needs us, and the report is useful whether or not we ever speak. It tells you where you're losing time and money. What you do with it is yours to decide. If you want to see how businesses like yours have tackled the same thing, the back catalogue is free to read.
