Book the Audit
For finance teams already running on Microsoft

You're already paying for Microsoft.
You shouldn't be trapped by it.

In 90 minutes, see exactly where AI plugs into the stack you already own, and walk away with the three to five automations worth building first, ranked by what each one gives back in hours and dollars. No rip-and-replace. No hype. No new platform to learn.

The problem

You have the tools. You're just not getting AI out of them.

You've invested in Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform. Your data lives in SharePoint and Dataverse. And yet every AI conversation seems to end the same way: a flashy demo that doesn't fit how you actually work, a vendor pushing a brand-new platform, or a compliance question nobody can answer.

For a finance firm, the stakes are higher. Client data, regulatory exposure, audit trails. "Move fast and break things" is not an option when the SEC and your clients are watching.

So the AI projects stall. Not because the technology isn't ready, but because nobody has mapped it to the systems and the rules you already live with.

Chaos resolving into a single clear path
What the audit is

A working session, not a sales pitch.

The 90-Minute AI Audit is a focused working session with me, Mark Lucas. We get on a call, I ask sharp questions about how your team actually spends its time, and we look at your real workflows together. I am not there to sell you software. I am there to find the work that AI should be doing for you, inside the stack you already trust.

By the end, you have a clear, prioritized picture of what is possible, what it would take, and what it would return. Most clients tell me it's the first time AI has felt concrete instead of theoretical.

What to bring: the person who knows where the manual work hides, and a willingness to be honest about it.

What you walk away with

Your Prioritized AI Opportunity Roadmap.

Not notes. Not a follow-up deck. A real document you keep, whether or not we ever work together again.

Why me

Microsoft-fluent. AI-native. Built for environments where mistakes are expensive.

I have spent more than 30 years inside the Microsoft ecosystem, building solutions for organizations that cannot afford to get it wrong: NASA's Moon to Mars program, the Department of Justice, NATO, and financial institutions like T. Rowe Price. I hold Microsoft certifications going back to 1996 and I build on the Power Platform every day.

I am not an AI generalist who learned Microsoft last week, and I am not a Microsoft consultant who's nervous about AI. I am the bridge. That is the whole point of an advisor: you get judgment, not a product pitch.

Price & guarantee

$1,500. Fully credited to your build.

Guaranteed to pay for itself.

The audit is $1,500. If you move forward with an AIOS install, the entire fee is credited toward it, so the roadmap effectively costs you nothing.

And the guarantee is simple: if you don't leave the session with at least three specific, quantified opportunities, you don't pay. I am that confident there is hidden time and money in your operation, because there always is.

How it works

Three steps. About a week, start to finish.

Step 01

Book

Pick a time. You'll get a short intake form so the 90 minutes are spent finding answers, not gathering basics.

Step 02

The session

We meet for 90 minutes, look at your real workflows, and map the opportunities together.

Step 03

The roadmap

Within two business days, you receive your Prioritized AI Opportunity Roadmap, yours to keep.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is this just a sales call in disguise? +

No. You leave with a real, useful document regardless of whether we work together again. If the roadmap is all you ever buy, that's a good outcome for both of us.

We're in financial services. What about data security and compliance? +

That's exactly the environment I'm built for. I've handled Controlled Unclassified Information for NASA and delivered for the DOJ and NATO. We talk through your data, access, and regulatory constraints up front, and the roadmap flags them on every recommendation.

Do we have to be on Microsoft 365 or Power Platform? +

It's where I add the most value and where most of my clients already are. If you're on Microsoft, you'll get the sharpest roadmap. If you're partly on it, we'll still find the wins.

Who should be on the call? +

You, plus whoever actually knows where the manual, repetitive work lives. Often that's an operations or finance lead, not the CEO.

What happens after? +

If the roadmap excites you, the natural next step is an AIOS install, where I build the top opportunities into your stack. The $1,500 credits toward it. If you'd rather take the roadmap and run, that's completely fine.

Ninety minutes from now, you could have a plan instead of a question.

Stop wondering what AI could do for your firm. Find out, specifically, with someone who knows both your stack and the rules you operate under.
