Stop defending a stalled AI rollout. Start proving it's fixed.
A 90-second readiness check shows whether your AI rollout is stuck on a skill gap or a design gap. The diagnostic-first methodology behind it proves which one, in your own numbers, before you spend another dollar on training that won't fix it.
Real, personalized results in under 2 minutes. No sales call required.
Built on PMP-certified project discipline, a Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and applied research from Prosci, Josh Bersin, and Allie K. Miller.

"Adoption doesn't stall because people won't learn. It stalls because nobody redesigned the job around what they're now expected to do."
Mid-market organizations are investing in AI tools, running a training session, and watching usage plateau below 30% anyway, then reading it as a training gap and running a second training session that doesn't move the number either.
That's the wrong diagnosis. Sometimes it's a skill gap. Sometimes it's an organizational design problem no amount of coaching will fix. Most approaches never tell the two apart.
The only AI adoption practice that treats manager overwhelm, not a training gap, as the actual adoption bottleneck, diagnosed with a real organizational psychology framework instead of a generic change-management template.
Diagnose the wall. Then refuse to declare victory early.
Five moves, run in sequence, built from Prosci's ADKAR model, Josh Bersin's adoption-stage research, and Allie K. Miller's four modes of AI interaction.
Where most rollouts plateau
Typical stalled-rollout position
Y-axis: Miller's four modes of AI interaction. X-axis: Bersin's four stages of organizational adoption. Schematic, not literal plotted data.
Diagnose both axes
Place the organization and its people on two ladders at once, and agree on success before any work starts.
Close real skill gaps
Diagnose the exact broken ADKAR block per person and assign the bridge task built to fix it.
Name design gaps
When coaching won't fix it, say so, and scope the organizational redesign it actually needs.
Break the plateau
Treat a stalled rollout as a follow-through failure, not a relapse, with sustained coaching and a peer-champion.
Run it with discipline
Phased, risk-managed, leaders visibly using the tools: the client experiences the rigor, not a pitch about it.
Take the 90-Second Readiness Check
Five quick questions. A real, personalized read on where you sit, and whether a paid conversation even makes sense yet. No email required to see it.
This check gives a directional read from five questions, not a substitute for the full paid diagnostic. Results are generated instantly in your browser.
A full worked engagement, start to finish
A composite case demonstrating the methodology at real depth: not a hypothetical, a fully worked diagnostic, roadmap, stakeholder plan, and 90-day reinforcement program.
Meridian Underwriting Group
Illustrative worked example, not a completed real engagement. No real company is named or depicted. See the Honesty Clause this methodology holds itself to.
640-employee mid-market insurer. Seven months after rolling out an AI drafting copilot, usage sat at 22%, and a second training refresh didn't move it. The diagnostic found four managers already working ahead of the organization itself, stuck behind a design wall no amount of coaching could fix.
- Dual-axis readiness diagnostic against Bersin's org ladder and Miller's four AI interaction modes
- ADKAR roadmap diagnosing three manager personas block-by-block, not one generic training plan
- A real Force Field Analysis and named stakeholder communication plan
- A 90-day plateau-breaking reinforcement program with a named peer-champion
- An honesty clause that names out-of-scope findings instead of quietly absorbing them

One path, not three separate pitches
Free tool, paid diagnostic, full engagement: each one earns the next, priced against the value it creates.
A standalone tool for naming, counting, and trading back the invisible extra work AI adoption is quietly costing your managers.

The full readiness diagnostic applied to your real team, results in week one, plus a follow-up call to check what's actually being acted on.
- Dual-axis readiness diagnostic, delivered in week one
- Success metrics agreed before work starts
- In exchange for case study rights
The complete stack: ADKAR roadmap, stakeholder plan, and 90-day plateau-breaking reinforcement program, priced to what the diagnostic surfaces.
- Custom Change Strategy & ADKAR Roadmap
- Stakeholder Engagement & Communication Plan
- Plateau-Breaking Reinforcement Program
- Reusable diagnostic framework, yours to keep
Illustrative stack value: $19,500 (a floor, not a target). Comparable independent mid-market engagements of this scope typically run $15,000 to $75,000; full mid-market OCM programs run $75,000 to $300,000. Real Tier 2 pricing is set per engagement through the attribution formula in the Value Conversation, not a public rate card.
One promise. One honest condition.
What We Guarantee
Measurable movement on the specific success metrics agreed at kickoff (cycle time, rework, or reclaimed manager capacity), reflecting real organizational value, not just individual activity, within 90 days of engagement kickoff.
The One Condition, and Why
Your leadership team has to actually show up: visible tool use from the sponsor, real participation in the coaching cadence. That's not a hedge, it's Move 5 of the methodology itself: change doesn't stick if leaders only authorize it instead of modeling it. Everything else is on us.
If those metrics haven't cleared the agreed threshold by day 90 despite that commitment being honored, we continue working at no additional cost until they do.
Jess
I built this methodology the same way I've built everything else: by combining formal discipline with work actually done in the field. A PMP certification and a Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology sit alongside real hours running a service business and working as a freelancer helping small businesses figure out what's actually broken and fixing it.
This offer runs with the same discipline it sells: agreed success metrics before work starts, a tracked project plan behind every deliverable, and an honesty clause that names what's out of scope instead of quietly absorbing it.
Take the check. Get a real answer.
