The AI readiness assessment for your firm.
Ten business days. One fixed price. You get a written report that says exactly where AI earns its keep in your firm, where it puts you at risk, and what to do first, and in what order.
Limited to 20 firms. Fee credits 100% toward implementation.
The situation
None of them are your fault. All three are cheaper to answer than to leave alone.
You are. Your paralegals are. Your partners are. That's normal in 2026, and it's a head start. The question worth asking is whether everyone is working to the same line on which tools touch client material, or whether people are deciding that for themselves.
Filevine, Litify, SmartAdvocate and Clio have all added AI features, and they arrive in the subscription whether or not anyone asked for them. Which are worth configuring, and which should go anywhere near client data, is a different question from whether they exist.
Every vendor at every conference has software for you. Not one of them will tell you which problem to solve first, because that isn't what they're paid for.
The deliverable
A written report, 15–25 pages, plus a recorded walkthrough with your partners. Built for a managing partner to act on, not a technologist to admire.
Seven sections. One of them tells you what to do on Monday.
How it runs
Four calls, three and a half hours of your firm's time in total, spread across two weeks.
You book it the moment you pay. Managing partner plus whoever you want in the room. We cover your systems, where the hours go, the growth constraint, and what you most want answered.
With the people who do the work: intake, case management, operations. One of them one-to-one, because the most useful answers are the ones nobody gives in front of the boss.
Stack review, data-flow mapping, opportunity scoring. This is the part you don't have to attend.
The written report lands, and we walk your partners through it: findings, the ranked opportunities, and what to do in the first four weeks.
Boundaries
The price is honest because the scope is narrow.
The guarantee
Tell us what missed. We go back, with more interviews if that's what it takes, and deliver a second report at no charge.
No refunds, and no arguing about whether a number was big enough. We'd rather do the work twice than take money for a report you shelve.
Fair questions
You're ahead of the firms that haven't started, and that counts for something. The gap is rarely the tool. It's whether the firm has settled which matters it can touch, what belongs in a prompt, and what the file note says afterwards. The assessment answers those questions for your firm specifically and leaves you a policy your people can actually follow.
Very likely true, and you're probably paying for it. The question is whether it's worth the configuration effort and whether the data handling stands up. That's a specific answer about your stack, and it's in the report.
No. Small firms usually have the largest per-person upside, because nobody has ever had the time to look at the workflow. Under ten people gets a lighter version at the same price.
It's designed to lead there, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. So the fee credits 100% against an implementation engagement started within 60 days, and if you never hire us, you keep the report, the roadmap and the policy.
Four calls, three and a half hours of your firm's time in total, spread over two weeks. Two of them need the managing partner; the other two are with the people who do the work.
Tim Stickelbrucks leads every engagement personally, drawing on Afacture's specialist network where a question needs depth. You will not be handed to a junior.
Law-Di-Gras price. Available through Friday 16 October 2026.
Card payment via Stripe. You book your kickoff call immediately afterwards.

Who runs it
Founder of Afacture, an AI expert network of 120+ specialists across AI, technology, brand and production. Afacture builds and deploys AI systems for companies that need them to work in practice, not in a demo.
At Law-Di-Gras 2026 he ran the children's AI game lab: fifty kids, one working video game, built live in an afternoon. If that's what's possible with children and two hours, the question worth asking is what's possible with your intake team and a quarter.
