Kindl Audit
Process inventory, prioritized opportunity map, ROI math, tooling recommendations. The diagnostic that comes before anything else.
AI that automates the work your firm actually does.
We help mid-market Canadian professional services firms identify which business processes are worth automating, then ship the implementation that works.
The problem
Most firms are buying AI piecemeal, by vendor pitch.
Your partners are spending hours on work that could be automated. The question isn't whether AI will reshape your firm. It's which work, with which tools, in what order, and without breaking the things that actually matter.
Most firms reach for the closest tool, sign a vendor contract, and hope it adds up to a strategy. The result: technical debt that compounds, vendor lock-in that's expensive to unwind, and savings that exist only in the slide deck.
The firms doing this well start with diagnosis, not demos. That's what we're for.
What we do
01 / Start here
02 / Implement
03 / Operate
Three named engagements, one ladder.
Kindl Build
Implementation of the Audit's top recommendations. Custom build, off-the-shelf tool integration, or a mix. Whatever the diagnosis called for.
Kindl Run
We operate what we built. Hosted infrastructure, observability, evaluation, monthly tuning, quarterly business review.
How an engagement works
Diagnose first. Implement second. Operate as long as it matters.
-
01
Diagnose
An Audit. We map which workflows in your firm cost the most and where AI moves the needle, with the math behind the answer.
-
02
Decide
Three to five prioritized opportunities, each with a tooling recommendation. Custom, off-the-shelf, or hybrid. You pick what proceeds.
-
03
Implement
A Build. We ship the top one or two priorities. Production-grade. Human-in-the-loop where it matters. Evaluated against real data.
-
04
Operate
A Run retainer. We host, monitor, tune, and report against measurable outcomes. You stay focused on your firm.
Why firms work with us
Production AI, named numbers, and a hard line about what we don't sell.
We start with diagnosis, not demos.
Most AI vendors lead with what their tool does. We lead with what your firm does. Which workflows, which costs, which constraints. The Audit is the first engagement because most AI projects fail at the diagnosis step, not the build step. Sequence matters. Skipping the Audit is the most expensive shortcut in this category.
We ship production AI, not prototypes.
There's a gap between an AI demo that works on Tuesday and an AI system that works on Monday morning, two months later, when the model changes its output format. We've spent years closing that gap inside our own infrastructure: kill switches, observability, structured-output handling, evaluation harnesses, human-approval gates. What we deploy for clients carries the same operational discipline.
We name real numbers.
An Audit costs $20–30K. A Build is $50–150K. A Run retainer is $10–15K per month. We publish these because firms deserve to know what they're signing up for before the first call. Range pricing isn't evasiveness, it's honest scoping. We tell you which end of the range you're at, and why, during the Audit.
We don't sell tools you can't run.
If a Copilot license is what your firm needs, you can buy that without us. We're the firm to call when an off-the-shelf tool isn't enough, when you need to integrate one cleanly with the rest of your business, or when you're deploying AI into a workflow where "pretty close to working" isn't acceptable.
