Consultation built around your priorities, your people and the work you need to accomplish.
AstraCruz offers consultation services based on your business needs. Whether you want to put AI to work, strengthen everyday operations or prepare for disruption, we start by understanding the problem and the result you need.
FOCUSED ON YOUR BUSINESS
Start with the challenge.
Bring a specific question, a process that is not working or an initiative that needs a clearer direction. We work with you to identify priorities, examine practical options and define next steps.
Consultation can focus on an individual business need or a broader project. The scope and intended deliverables are agreed before work begins.
Help one location document who takes charge, which operations must continue and how customers and staff are contacted during a disruption.
A scope agreed in advance, including the critical operations to cover.
Customized response roles, succession, operating priorities and communication drafts using information you confirm.
A walkthrough of the draft and one consolidated revision within the agreed scope.
Editable handoff documents, unresolved questions and next actions for your approval.
Starting at $250 USD per hour. Estimated hours and the applicable rate are agreed before work. A fixed project fee may be quoted after scope review. Additional locations, processes or revisions require a revised agreement.
If you already own the continuity system, tell us. Any required toolkit purchase and its cost will be specified in the proposal before you commit. The engagement does not certify readiness or replace specialist plans.
Focus on one repeatable business task, such as turning job notes into customer-update drafts. We agree on a task that fits the session before booking.
One workflow built around an agreed input and output.
Reusable instructions you can run again.
Examples tested with suitable sample data during the engagement.
A simple review checklist and a walkthrough so you can repeat the task yourself.
Starting at $250 USD per hour. Scope, estimated hours and rate are confirmed before work. Software subscriptions, custom integrations and ongoing support are not included unless explicitly agreed. You approve customer-facing output before use.
For example: supply non-sensitive job notes, draft a customer update, check every fact against the notes, and revise the instructions when a detail is missing. Use fictional or appropriately anonymized examples; do not supply passwords or confidential customer records in an initial inquiry.
Identify useful applications for ChatGPT and AI, improve prompts and workflows, and establish human review where accuracy and judgment matter.
Operations and procedures
Examine workflows, handoffs, checklists and responsibilities. Find points of friction and develop a clearer approach to getting work done.
Business continuity and preparedness
Review critical activities, dependencies, response roles and communication needs. Discuss continuity planning and exercises suited to your organization.
Have a different business need? Describe it in your inquiry so we can assess whether AstraCruz is the right fit.
