Why clients buy: They know they need AI but don’t know how to architect it. You’ve built TIA — you know how.

Example use cases:

• Enterprise knowledge management system with agentic retrieval
• Customer support automation with multi-step reasoning
• Content production pipeline with quality control agents
• Data analysis platform with semantic understanding

2. Agentic Content Production

What: Content-as-a-Service using agentic AI workflows

What Makes This Different from ChatGPT:

• Agentic workflows: Multi-step research, outlining, drafting, editing (not single prompt)
• Semantic intelligence: TIA-powered context understanding and knowledge synthesis
• Brand consistency: Learns company voice, terminology, positioning
• SEO optimization: Keyword research, intent mapping, competitive analysis
• Fact-checking: Validates claims against knowledge base

Service Tiers:

• Starter: $500/month (4 articles/month, 1,000-1,500 words)
• Growth: $1,500/month (12 articles/month, SEO optimization)
• Scale: $3,000/month (24 articles/month, multi-format content)
• Enterprise White-Label: $20K-$50K/year + revenue share

Agentic Content Workflow:

1. Research Agent: Gather information, analyze competitors, identify gaps
2. SEO Agent: Keyword research, intent mapping, optimization strategy
3. Outline Agent: Structure article with semantic hierarchy
4. Writing Agent: Draft content with brand voice and tone
5. Editing Agent: Fact-check, improve clarity, enhance SEO
6. Quality Agent: Final review, consistency check, publish-ready

Why clients buy: Content is expensive ($500-2K/article) and slow (5-10 days). You deliver 10x faster at 1/10th cost with higher quality (agentic workflows, not simple prompts).

Target customers:

• Marketing agencies (white-label content for their clients)
• SaaS companies (internal content production)
• Publishers (scale content output)
• B2B enterprises (thought leadership, SEO content)

3. Team Training & Enablement

What: Workshops and training for internal teams on agentic AI systems

Revenue Model

Year 1 Projection: $260K-$620K

Conservative Scenario ($260K):

• 3 architecture engagements @ $30K each = $90K
• 10 Content-as-a-Service customers @ $1K avg × 12 months = $120K
• 2 training workshops @ $10K each = $20K
• 1 advisory retainer @ $10K/month × 3 months = $30K
• Total: $260K

Realistic Scenario ($350K-500K):

• 4 architecture engagements @ $35K each = $140K
• 15 Content-as-a-Service customers @ $1.2K avg × 12 months = $216K
• 4 training programs @ $15K each = $60K
• 2 advisory retainers @ $12K/month × 6 months = $144K
• Total: $560K (adjusted for sales cycle gaps = $400K-500K realistic)

Optimistic Scenario ($620K):

• 6 architecture engagements @ $40K each = $240K
• 20 Content-as-a-Service customers @ $1.5K avg × 12 months = $360K
• 6 training programs @ $20K each = $120K
• 3 advisory retainers @ $15K/month × 8 months = $360K
• Total: $1.08M (adjusted for execution focus = $620K achievable)

Key assumptions:

• Can’t maximize all services simultaneously (time constraints)
• Consulting engagements are higher priority than content scale
• Content customers provide recurring revenue and consulting proof

• ❌ LinkedIn not actively promoted
• ❌ Warm network not contacted
• ❌ Content marketing not started
• ❌ Agency partnerships not activated
• ❌ Conference talks not submitted
• ❌ Sample content portfolio not created

This is the partnership: You handle customer acquisition and business development across all four service lines. I handle delivery (consulting, content production, training, advisory).

• Brand consistency: TIA maintains voice across all outputs

This proves: Not consulting based on blog posts. Not content from simple ChatGPT prompts. Real production agentic systems you built and operate daily.

Competitive Advantage

1. Portfolio Proof (Consulting)

Most consultants: “We help companies adopt AI” (vague) You: “I built TIA — 1,900+ sessions managing 60+ projects” (specific, provable)

2. Agentic Workflows (Content)

Competitors: Single prompt → output (fast but low quality) You: Multi-step workflow → research → outline → draft → edit (slower but high quality)

3. Production Experience (Both)

Most consultants: Prototypes, demos, POCs Most content tools: ChatGPT wrappers with templates You: Production systems handling real workloads for years

4. Unified Offering (Strategic)

Most competitors: Consulting OR content (siloed) You: Consulting + content + training + advisory (integrated)

• Consulting clients need content deliverables
• Content proves consulting capability
• Training grows from consulting relationships
• Advisory provides recurring revenue

5. Semantic Intelligence

Most competitors: Pattern matching and simple prompts You: TIA-powered semantic understanding, knowledge synthesis, context preservation

6. Infrastructure Background

Most consultants: AI practitioners learning infrastructure You: Infrastructure expert applying AI (stronger foundation for enterprise architecture)

This is the highest revenue opportunity in the portfolio.

Strategic consolidation: Previously two separate opportunities (Consulting #2: $200K-500K, Content #6: $60K-120K). Merged because:

• Same customer base (enterprises needing AI)
• Same proof points (TIA/SIL)
• Complementary services (consulting → content deliverables)
• More realistic revenue model (can’t maximize both separately)
• Clearer value proposition (full-service agentic AI)

Bootstrap score 85 (vs Consulting 88, Content 80):

• Weighted average adjusted for integration complexity
• Still very high (top 5 in portfolio)
• Integration adds value (unified offering) but requires coordination
