How it works
The Firm Bow Assessment

A structured, founder-led assessment of your operation, run in four steps. The discipline of the hold makes the release possible.

01
Launch
Proof of Concept
A targeted automation deployed on day one, before the assessment even begins. It runs live throughout.
02
Review
Operational Mapping
On-site and hands-on, through structured interviews and direct observation of the work itself.
03
Score
Readiness & Return
Every point scored on two axes, feasibility and estimated return, so the ranking reflects what your operation can actually absorb.
04
Prioritize
Structured Roadmap
Your top 20 opportunities, ranked, tiered, and sequenced. The steady aim precedes the precise release.
First arrow, day one

We don't open with a deck.
We open with a working tool.

Every assessment begins with a proof-of-concept automation, deployed on day one, aimed at the workflow you already suspect is costing you the most.

Day One
Deployed at kickoff
A targeted automation built for one of your real workflows, running live before the first interview starts.
Weeks 1–4
Runs while we assess
As it runs, the tool gathers its own evidence: hours saved, output quality, the edge cases it handles, all measured in your operation.
The Readout
Proof, then the plan
We review the results together, then hand you the tool to keep. The roadmap shows what the next twenty would do.
You shouldn't have to imagine the return. With the tool already running, you watch it land.
What we cover
Eight operational domains, reviewed end to end

The firm

Boutique is the feature.

Firm Bow is a boutique AI advisory practice. You work directly with the founder, an operator who has led GTM, strategy, operations, product, and executive programs across finance, accounting, technology, and startups. When you hire Firm Bow, you get that operator in your building, walking your workflows.

Most of this market sells building. The harder work, and the work this practice is built on, is knowing where to aim first.
