Discovery, systems map, and a written plan — billed as a project before anyone writes automation.
01 — Free AI audit for SMBs
A $1,500 AI audit.
Yours is $0.
Specialist studios bill about $1,500 for a structured look at support, follow-ups, scheduling, and admin — then a written plan. Dtechkrew runs that audit for qualified SMBs in the US, UK, Europe, and Australia at no charge. Share a few details. We begin.
No 40-question form. No obligation to build. Written findings in about five business days.
Same work. No invoice. If we are not the right studio, we say so. You still keep what we wrote.
02 — The offer
Not a demo. Not a chatbot quiz. An operations audit.
Most “free AI assessments” are a form that recommends the product the vendor already sells. That is lead capture with a PDF on the end. A real audit is different: someone who has shipped support and admin automation sits with how your company actually runs, then writes what to stop paying people to copy-paste.
The $1,500 figure is not a coupon code. It is what a specialist studio typically charges an SMB for discovery of this depth — mapping the inbox, the CRM, the booking tool, the sheets, and the handoffs — before a statement of work. We still do that work. We do not bill it, because the audit is how we decide whether there is a first automation worth building together.
You will not get a generic “adopt generative AI” memo. You will get a ranked view of where hours go, what is patterned enough to automate, and what should stay human. If the honest answer is “fix the website” or “hire one coordinator,” that is the answer. Covering everything in the operation does not mean asking you for everything up front.
How work should move after the map — not another chat box on the site.
03 — Fit
Owners and ops leads who are done scaling by hiring.
English-speaking SMBs in the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. We decline fast when the fit is wrong so nobody wastes a week.
A good fit
We will pass
If that is you, the audit is useful even if we never write production code. It is a cost conversation first: which loops burn payroll, which miss revenue after 6pm, and which are not worth touching this quarter. Clinics, retail, agencies, logistics, professional services, and multi-location local services are the companies we see this pattern in most often.
04 — What we inspect
The whole operation, without a 40-field form.
We cover the loops that actually cost SMBs money. You do not have to document them in advance. We pull the picture from a short intake and, if needed, one conversation.
Support inbox
Email, WhatsApp, chat, and voicemail. What still needs a person every time, what is copy-paste, and what is already answered in a doc nobody searches.
Lead follow-up
The minutes after a form, a missed call, or a quote. Speed-to-lead, the second touch, and the work that dies in a spreadsheet after 6pm.
Scheduling & bookings
Reminders, no-shows, reschedules, and the front-desk loop that exists because the calendar and the customer never meet.
Documents & admin
Invoices, intake forms, proposals, meeting notes, and the staff who retype the same fields between three systems.
Handoffs
Sales to delivery, clinic to billing, warehouse to customer. Where context falls on the floor and someone spends the afternoon reconstructing it.
After hours
Nights, weekends, public holidays in your market. What you miss, what you overstaff, and what a system could close without a new hire.
Tool sprawl
CRM, helpdesk, sheets, Slack, WhatsApp, the booking widget. Licenses you already pay for versus a new platform someone is trying to sell you.
Knowledge
The answers that live in one senior’s head. How often the team asks the same question. What should be a playbook instead of a meeting.
Covering everything means we look across those lenses so the first recommendation is not “the shiny tool.” It does not mean we interview every employee or crawl every mailbox. Pattern first: what repeats, what waits, what already has an answer in a document. Depth comes from the map, not from making you fill out our homework.

Usually $1,500. Yours is $0. Three fields to start.
05 — Why guessing is expensive
Buying AI without a map is how you pay twice.
SMBs do not usually fail at AI because the models are weak. They fail because they automate the wrong loop, buy a platform that needs a full-time owner, or drop a chat widget on a site that still cannot take the order. The invoice for the tool is visible. The months of staff time around a bad fit are not.
A $1,500 audit exists in the market because that mapping takes real hours: sitting with the inbox, the CRM, the calendar, and the handoff that nobody wrote down. Skipping it to “just start” is how you end up with three pilots and the same overtime. The free version here is the same discipline — so the first build, if there is one, has a job.
Another support seat
A full-time inbox hire in the US, UK, or Australia is a five-figure annual decision before benefits. Most of that seat is repetition: status, FAQs, “did you get this?” If 60–80% of volume is patterned, you are paying a salary for a loop.
Slow follow-up
Leads that wait overnight compete with whoever replied in ten minutes. The cost is not the CRM. It is the quote that never went out and the owner who still does first-response at 9pm.
No-shows and rework
Missed appointments, incomplete intake, and jobs that start late because paperwork was not ready. That is not a “we need AI ” problem until you count the hours on the calendar.
Systems that do not talk
Staff as the integration layer: copy from email, paste into the sheet, ping on WhatsApp. Every extra tool without a handoff is overtime you never budgeted.
06 — How we work
Four steps. You do almost none of the paperwork.
We ask less because we already know which questions matter. The studio does the mapping.
- Day 0
Intake
You send name, email, and company. We confirm fit. If we need one clarifying call, it is 20–30 minutes — not a workshop.
- Days 1–3
Map the work
We trace how a request actually moves: who touches it, which tools, where it waits. We score loops by hours and by how patterned they are.
- Days 3–5
Write the brief
A ranked list of leaks, three automation candidates with expected effort, and a clear build / wait / hire recommendation.
- When you want it
Walkthrough
Optional. We talk through the brief on your hours. You keep the document either way. Next work is a separate decision.
07 — What you walk away with
A brief you can act on. Not a pitch deck.
Everything below is included in the $0 audit. It is the same artefact we would produce if this were a paid discovery.
Operations map
How work actually flows today — not an org chart. Inboxes, tools, owners, and the waits between them.
Hour-leak ranking
The loops that burn payroll or miss revenue, ordered so you are not automating the wrong thing first.
Three automation bets
Concrete first moves: what to wire, what it replaces, and whether it belongs in tools you already have.
Build, wait, or hire
An honest recommendation. Sometimes the answer is a person, a website, or nothing this quarter.
Range, not theatre
If there is a first build, you get a cost and time range — not a 40-slide deck and a surprise SOW.
You keep it
The brief is yours. No lock-in. Use it with us, with your team, or with another studio.

Usually $1,500. Yours is $0. Three fields to start.
08 — Typical findings
What this looks like in a real SMB — without theatre.
Composite patterns from the kinds of companies we audit. Not invented case studies, not guaranteed savings.
Front desk as the bottleneck
Reminders, FAQs, and incomplete intake still land on one person. The audit usually finds a reminder loop and a documented FAQ that can run after hours before anyone talks about a “patient AI.”
Order status eating the day
“Where is my order?” and returns policy live in a helpdesk that a junior still types by hand. First win is status and policy, wired to the store — not a new agent platform.
Seniors doing admin
Intake, status updates, and first-draft notes keep partners in the evening. The brief often ranks a structured intake and a follow-up sequence above any public chatbot.
The customer is blind
Dispatch knows; the customer does not. Updates from the road, document capture, and a single status message cut the “any update?” thread that fills the office phone.
09 — Timing and hours
Five business days, on your clock.
Once intake is complete, most audits are returned within five business days. Multi-location or heavily regulated operations can take longer; we will say so up front rather than pad a date. The walkthrough, if you want one, is booked on US, UK, EU, or Australian hours — not a 12-hour delay and a project manager in the middle.
English is the working language. The studio is in Lahore; the brief is written for operators in your market. If we need a clarifying call, it is short. If we can finish from the form, we do. That is what “ask less” means in practice: we do not outsource discovery to a questionnaire.
Claim the free audit
Usually $1,500. Yours is $0. Three fields to start.
10 — Why we give it away
Because a bad first project costs both of us more than $1,500.
We are a product studio, not a lead-magnet farm. The audit is free so we only take work we can stand behind: a first automation with a measurable job, or a clear “not yet.” Paid discovery exists so consultants get paid to think. We get paid when we ship. Giving the thinking away is how we keep the pipeline honest.
There is no retainer trap, no “audit credit” that expires, and no obligation to continue. If the brief says the ROI is weak, you should not hire us — and we should not sell you a chatbot to save the conversation. The $1,500 you are not paying is the price of finding that out before anyone writes production code.
Share your details. We begin. If the fit is wrong, you hear that quickly. If the fit is right, you already have the map.
11 — Guardrails
How we treat your operation.
A professional audit is useful only if you can trust the room. These are the defaults.
No passwords on day one
We start from how the work moves. Credentials, if a build needs them later, live in accounts you own.
NDA on request
If the walkthrough is sensitive, we sign first. The audit is still free. Confidentiality is not an upsell.
You own the brief
The map and recommendations are yours to keep. We do not hold findings hostage behind a retainer.
No fake proof
We will not invent savings percentages for your board. Ranges are labelled as ranges. Reviews on this site are from real clients of the studio.
