Your firm is good at spotting what is broken. The part that decides whether the work actually happens is the business case – and that is where deals stall.
JazzAI runs a maturity assessment across every client in your book and hands back a ranked list of target projects, mapped to the services you already sell.
How many of these are true at your firm today?
"We can put a number on a proposed project before the client asks us for one."
"We know what the next three projects are at our top accounts – before the current one closes."
"When a client asks what we think about AI, we have an answer that survives the follow-up question."
"We can show a client where they stand against their peers, not just where we think they should spend."
"Our clients commit the resources they promised at kickoff – because they saw what it would take before they signed."
If those land uncomfortably, that is the gap – and it is not a skills problem. JazzAI’s AI Readiness Assessment gives you a repeatable diagnosis you can run on any client, and turns it into a ranked list of projects with the business case already built.
You spot the opportunity at a client and you know it is real. But the moment it reaches the CFO and somebody asks what it is worth, the answer has to be a number – and building that number for every opportunity you find is not billable time. I have sat on both sides of that conversation.
I'm Jim MacLennan. Forty years of executive leadership across manufacturing, consumer products, venture capital, and technology. I've run the full arc: software developer, product manager, corporate CIO, and strategic advisor to startups and established firms. Author of Don't Think So Much – a practical guide to digital transformation.
I built JazzAI because I've sat in your chair and had those conversations. The playbook I wish I had back then is the one I built. Now you can put it in front of your clients.
The AI Readiness Assessment scans five dimensions – Customers, Products/Services, Operations, Data, and Teams. Run it on one account or across your whole book. Each one produces a maturity profile and a peer benchmark you can put in front of the client.
Results become scored initiatives from the Innovation Library, weighted to the services your firm actually sells. An ERP practice, a data practice, and a change-management practice each get a different ranked list out of the same engine.
Every initiative arrives with a business case, a political risk score, the first three steps, and the words to use when somebody asks why this project and not that one. Your Virtual CIO helps you tailor it to the account in front of you.
Five questions, three minutes. You will see exactly what your client would see – the maturity profile, the peer benchmark, and the moves it surfaces. Then decide whether it belongs in front of your accounts.

Every initiative in the Innovation Library follows the same structure: what it is, why it works, who has to say yes, what it is worth, and the exact words for the moment somebody asks “why this project?” You adapt them to the client in front of you instead of building each one from a standing start.
Every entry in the Innovation Library includes a business case, a political risk assessment, the first three steps, and a literal script for your next meeting. Your AI Readiness Assessment determines which ones surface first.
Somebody on your team is going to ask why you cannot just write a good enough prompt. It is a fair question and it deserves a short answer you can give without me in the room: a general-purpose model returns academic best practice – what the internet thinks good looks like. This returns a ranked list of moves for one specific company, scored for what actually gets funded, drawn from 40 years of documented projects. One is a summary of the field. The other is a target list.
Run the same assessment across your whole client book. One relationship gives you a repeatable diagnostic for every company in it – not a one-off report for one of them.
Every finding ties back to a service offering. The ranked list an ERP practice gets is not the list a data practice gets, because the engine is weighted to what your firm is able to deliver.
An initiative gets killed the moment somebody asks what it is worth and the room goes quiet. Every entry carries a business case with a defensible figure, a political risk score, and the first three steps. You bring the number, not the enthusiasm.
You spot the inefficiency, build the deck, and watch it stall at the business case. The engagement ends cleanly – good job, done, you are out – and the next project has to be found from a standing start.
You walk in with a diagnosis, a ranked list of projects mapped to what you sell, and a defensible number on each one. The period after go-live becomes worth more than the pitch before it.
