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.

Wednesday · May 13, 2026 · Issue #038 A founder walked into a Jordan session with a vague problem. "Our sales follow-up is inconsistent and we're losing deals we should be closing."

Tuesday · May 12, 2026 · Issue #037 Most AI tools start by showing you what they can do. Jordan starts by asking what you need. That one difference changes everything about the outcome.

Monday · May 11, 2026 · Issue #036 Something changed at The Promptory this week. We've always been the place where businesses find the right AI tools and build the right strategy. Jordan does that better than anything else we've seen — one free conversation, ten minutes, a clear path forward. But we kept hearing the same thing after every Jordan session: "This is exactly what I needed. Now how do I actually build it?" ⬡ What's New — The Promptory Implementation Layer Jordan builds your...
