AI workflow pilot builder
Choose one repeated task worth testing.
Start with a business task, not an AI product. Your choices produce a six-week plan with a current measure, a reviewer, and rules for data use.
Meeting actions and recap
5 hrs/week · 6-week test
Evidence and ROI checkpoint
Did the workflow improve real work?
Compare completed work with the baseline. Count human review time and failed outputs, not only the fastest example.
Planning estimate
Current baseline
30 min/output
Includes drafting, checking, and rework.
What the guided pilot delivers
Finish with a decision package, not an AI demonstration.
The paid pilot combines CoachGPT tools with hands-on implementation guidance. It is not presented as software that configures and operates the workflow without your team.
Kickoff and guided setup
One scope conversation, a current-state task map, and configuration of the agreed workflow using approved tools and examples.
Reviewer preparation
A named client-side owner, approval checklist, exception log, and stop rule for weak or unsafe output.
Two review checkpoints
Scheduled reviews of time, corrections, blocked cases, workflow fit, and any changes needed during the six weeks.
Week-six result package
The final measurement record, a keep, change, or stop recommendation, and an SOP draft when continuation is supported.
CoachGPT provides
Scoping, workflow design, guided configuration, review materials, two checkpoints, and the final result package.
Your team provides
An accountable owner, approved examples and tools, timely operating feedback, evidence records, and all final business decisions.
Illustrative measurement record
Example structure only, not a claimed customer result.
- Before the test
- 10 task runs × 30 minutes = 5 hours per week, verified across at least five examples.
- During the test
- Record total cycle time, reviewer time, corrections, blocked cases, and output quality using the same definitions.
- At week six
- Compare the records, review privacy and operational exceptions, then approve, revise, or stop.

Guided service
From C$1,500
One workflow · up to 5 pilot users · guided setup and review · final software, integration, and privacy scope confirmed before purchase
Request a Free Scope CallThe service includes planning, workflow setup, and review support. It does not include custom software development, legal advice, or guaranteed business outcomes unless separately scoped in writing.
Before using business or customer data
Someone must check every client-facing result.
The business owner remains responsible for why AI is used, what information it receives, who reviews the result, and what is ultimately sent.
Minimum necessary information
Begin with synthetic or redacted examples and use only the information the workflow needs.
Named human review
Assign a person who can verify facts, professional boundaries, and client-facing output.
Measured before scaling
Compare time, review effort, quality, and rework instead of relying on a demonstration.
Keep or stop
Record the task, exceptions, sources, results, and the decision made after week six.
CoachGPT provides planning and implementation support, not legal, privacy, cybersecurity, accounting, employment, or regulated professional advice. Confirm applicable obligations with qualified advisers and the relevant Canadian authority.
Questions before the first test
Decide what will be tested, measured, and reviewed.
What kind of AI project should a small business start with?+
Start with one frequent task that you can measure, assign to one owner, and check before the result reaches a client or employee. Avoid beginning with an automated decision that could materially affect a person.
Does CoachGPT replace an AI consultant or privacy lawyer?+
No. CoachGPT helps a team plan, run, and evaluate a small six-week test. Legal, privacy, cybersecurity, accounting, employment, and professional-regulation decisions still belong with the appropriate qualified adviser and business owner.
Can the pilot use client or employee information?+
The first test should use public, synthetic, or fully redacted examples. Before personal or confidential information is used, the business should review purpose, consent, access, retention, vendor terms, security, and applicable Canadian privacy requirements.
How do we know whether the AI workflow worked?+
Record the current cycle time, review effort, corrections, and output quality before the pilot. Compare the same measures during the test and retain human review. The decision at week six can be to approve, revise, or stop.
How much does a guided small-business AI pilot cost?+
The guided six-week service starts at C$1,500 for one workflow and up to five pilot users. It includes workflow scoping, guided setup, two review checkpoints, and a final result memo. Custom development, paid software, complex integrations, security work, and additional privacy requirements are scoped separately before purchase.
Is the C$1,500 pilot a self-serve software subscription?+
No. The free planner and evidence checkpoint are self-serve tools. The paid pilot is a guided implementation service delivered under the CoachGPT brand. Your team supplies approved examples, a review owner, and operating feedback; CoachGPT supports workflow design, setup, measurement, and the final recommendation.
