Thursday · May 14, 2026 · Issue #039 · Jordan Edition

This is the Jordan Edition — where we go deeper on what The Promptory's AI Solutions Director is doing and how it works in practice.

This week: the three engagement types now available through The Promptory — what gets built, how long it takes, and what it costs. Everything you need to know before your first session.
⬡ The Three Engagement Types

Core System Build

2–3 Weeks · $3,500–$5,000

What gets built: CRM setup and configuration, lead routing and pipeline stages, onboarding automation, and follow-up sequences. The foundation that every other AI system gets built on top of.

Best for: Businesses currently running on spreadsheets, manual follow-up, or a CRM nobody is actually using. Teams of 2–15 people who need a system that runs without a dedicated ops person.

Tools typically used: Folk CRM, Apollo.io, Close, Reclaim AI

Extension Layer

1–2 Weeks · $2,000–$3,500

What gets built: AI workflows, routing logic, API integrations, and optimization layers on top of an existing system. For businesses that already have the foundation and need to make it smarter.

Best for: Teams with an existing CRM or automation setup that isn't fully connected. Businesses that had something built but it's not running the way it should.

Tools typically used: Turbotic, Airia, Lindy AI, plus API integrations specific to the existing stack

Full Business Flow

3–5 Weeks · $8,000–$15,000

What gets built: End-to-end from lead capture to internal tracking. Every touchpoint automated — lead intake, qualification, nurture, follow-up, onboarding, project tracking, and reporting. One connected system across the entire business.

Best for: Growing businesses ready to remove themselves from manual processes entirely. Enterprise teams building AI infrastructure that scales with headcount.

Tools typically used: Full vault stack built to the specific business — Jordan defines the exact tools in the strategy session

💡 How It Always Starts

Every engagement starts the same way — a free Jordan session. Jordan identifies the bottleneck, recommends the right engagement type, and outlines what the build will include. No sales call. No discovery fee. No commitment required.

If the strategy doesn't lead to an implementation engagement, that's fine. Jordan's value is in the clarity — not the conversion.

!-- FRIDAY · VAULT DROP — Friday · June 19, 2026 · Issue #036 Happy Friday. We close Implementation Week with the most transparent thing we can publish. Every tool we actually use when we build a client system. Not tools we recommend from a distance. Not tools that pay the most in affiliate commissions. The exact stack our implementation team reaches for — with the specific role each tool plays in a live build, what it costs, and why it's in the stack instead of something else. This is the...

Thursday · June 18, 2026 · Issue #036 This is the issue you read before you talk to anyone about implementation. We've built a lot of systems at this point. And we've learned that the fastest way to determine what a business actually needs isn't a long scoping call — it's five questions. Answer them honestly and you'll know, before any conversation with us, whether you need a Core System Build, an Extension Layer, a Full Business Flow, or whether you just need a Jordan session and a different...

Wednesday · June 17, 2026 · Issue #036 Meet Priya. Solo founder. B2B consulting practice, six clients, a pipeline she managed in a Google Sheet, and a follow-up process that lived entirely in her memory and her intentions. She wasn't disorganized. She was at capacity — the kind of capacity where nothing breaks until something does, and then it breaks badly. The month before she came to The Promptory, two proposals had gone unacknowledged for over a week because she was deep in delivery work...
