Build AI capability you own

From first step to market edge.

One climb, four steps, each proving the next. You start with a first step small enough to finish and safe enough to trust, and you only ever commit to the next one.

Fixed fee, fixed scope

You know the price and the finish line before we start.

Yours to keep and run

The setup and results we build for your business are yours to use and run.

We advise, never operate

We set things up and step back. You are never dependent on us.

The full package

One climb, four steps, each proving the next

The AI Foundations Sprint, then Augmentation, Automation and Advantage. Every step ends in an evidence gate, so you buy the next step rather than a vision.

Step 01

AI Foundations Sprint

Weeks, fixed fee. Safe working rules, one shared setup, a trained team, one real result proven.

The finishable first step, and where every climb starts. Four to six weeks, one price agreed before we begin, half to start and half on delivery.

  • Safe working rules your leadership signs
  • One tidy shared setup for the whole team
  • A team trained on their own real work
  • One workflow proven and measured
  • A thirty day plan for after we leave

All of it yours to keep and run. See the AI Foundations Sprint.

Step 02

Augmentation

What worked once, spread across your teams, led by your own people rather than by us.

More workflows chosen on evidence, champions trained inside the business, a written library so nothing is worked out twice, and a monthly rhythm that keeps it alive.

Runs over a few months, scoped and priced on its own. See Augmentation.

Step 03

Automation

Work you have proven starts running in your own systems, with a person checking every result.

Built inside the tools you already pay for, with a review point before anything counts, a record of what ran, a stop switch, and handover so your team can change it.

One build at a time, quoted on its own. See Automation.

Step 04

Advantage

With evidence in hand, what this means for pricing, positioning and the shape of the team.

Senior advisory on the harder questions: what you charge when the work takes less time, what you can sell now, which roles change, and where you stand in your market.

Not right for most businesses yet, and we will say so. See Advantage.

Other ways to work with us

Four smaller ways in, if the full climb is too big a first move

Each one stands on its own. None of them commits you to the climb.

AI Readiness Check

Ten minutes, thirty two questions. Where the business actually is with AI, not where you hope.

Answered by each member of the leadership team across six dimensions, from how AI is used today through to safety. Where your leaders disagree is itself a finding.

  • An overall score and a dimension map
  • The gaps, and the first moves that follow
  • Yours to keep as a PDF whether or not we ever speak

Take the AI Readiness Check.

Two formats

AI Leadership Alignment

Get your leaders to one shared position on what AI is for here, and what to do first.

Executive AI Briefing . 90 minutesAlignment Workshop . half a day

The Executive AI Briefing is the short version: the honest state of play, what practical adoption looks like, the risks that do not come up at conferences, and the decisions that are genuinely yours. You commit to nothing.

The Alignment Workshop is the decision session. Most leadership teams discover in the first twenty minutes that they each had a different idea of what AI was for. Sorting that out is the whole value.

  • A shared position on what AI is for here
  • A ranked shortlist of priorities
  • Safe use decisions drafted in the room
  • A first ninety day plan with named owners

See AI Leadership Alignment.

Half a day, one team

AI Workflow Discovery Workshop

The people who do the work find the friction themselves, and rank it.

Run inside one part of the business, with the people who actually do the work rather than the people who describe it. The team maps how the work really happens, marks where the time and frustration go, and picks one candidate worth proving.

  • A map of how the work actually flows
  • A ranked shortlist, including what to rule out
  • One priority picked, with a measure attached
  • A short written summary for leadership

Adapts to client service, planning, new business, operations, finance and more. See the workshop.

Half a day

Leadership in the Age of AI

Not what AI can do for the business. What it changes about leading one.

A session about the leader rather than the technology. What your judgement is for once answers are cheap, what you should keep human on purpose, and how to keep a team trusting you through a change you cannot fully predict.

  • What changes about deciding, and what does not
  • Where AI quietly erodes craft, and how to protect it
  • What to model yourself, since your team copies what you do
  • How to talk about this without hype or fear

See the workshop.

Pricing and commitment

You know the price and the finish line before we start

No numbers on this page, because the scope decides them. What does not change is how the money works.

Fixed fee for the AI Foundations Sprint

One price agreed before we begin. Half to start, half on delivery.

No hourly creep, no retainer, no surprise line items. Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted as its own fixed price piece.

Each step after the Sprint is scoped and priced on its own, so you always know exactly what you are committing to before you start.

You only ever commit to the next step

Never the whole journey.

Every step ends in an evidence gate. We do not sell you the next one until the last one has a result behind it.

If the honest answer is that you are not ready for the next step, that is the answer you will get.

The work is yours to keep and run

The rules, the setup, the training and the proven result.

Built to outlast whichever tools come next rather than be rebuilt for them. No login to us, no licence to us, and no thread that runs back to us.

We advise and set up. We never operate.

We do not hold your keys and we do not run your AI for you.

If a consultant is still in your critical path a year from now, something has gone wrong. Everything we set up keeps a person accountable for the judgement.

About

Advice in your best interest, including "not yet"

Cadencia is founded by Jennie Wagner, after more than fifteen years in senior digital advertising sales at LinkedIn ANZ and Yahoo, working with Australian businesses the whole way.

The best thinking in a business usually sits in a few people's heads, and it walks out the door when they do. The first step we build turns that into something your whole team can use, and keeps it yours.

The promise is simple. If the honest answer is that you do not need us yet, that is the answer you will get.
