Assisted by AI. Decided by humans. Backed by evidence. Measured by METRIS™.

  • ALL USE CASES. ONE VIEW.
  • MEASURE REAL IMPACT.
  • DECISIONS YOU CAN STAND BEHIND.
  • Is this AI tool actually worth it?
  • Who is using what?
  • Are we getting a return?
  • Where should we invest next?

Know what AI costs. See what it changes. Improve what matters.

Five ways METRIS™ looks at AI in your business, whether you run it alone or are growing a team.

The check-in's whole snapshot for the sample bakery, on a phone. Is your AI paying off? Value not established yet, based on your answers. Responsible for fixing AI mistakes: nobody yet. A mistake reached a customer: a wrong price or date. Then what the bakery's AI time is worth: 1 to 4 hours a month, worth $20 to $200 a month, tools up to $25 a month. Then the five 3AEA checks, each with a flag, a suggested starting setup, and the bakery's first step: name one person who is responsible for fixing your posts and ads when AI gets it wrong.
Illustrative example with sample data.

See where your business stands with AI.

A free 10-minute check-in. You answer simple questions about how you use AI, and you get a snapshot of where you stand and one practical first step. Based on your own answers.

You're investing in AI with no way to tell whether it's paying you back.

Everyone is buying AI tools because everyone else is. Money and people's time are being wasted, and nobody can show you what any of it returns. Without that, you can't make smart decisions about where to invest next.

AI doesn't work alone

Every AI tool in your company has people around it. Someone chose it, someone uses it every day, and someone is supposed to check what it produces. When AI disappoints, the cause is often on the people side: nobody was shown how to use it, or nobody checks its work.

METRIS™ looks at both sides of every AI use case:

The AI

  • What it does
  • What it costs
  • Whether it pays off

The people

  • Who uses it
  • Whether they've been trained to use it well
  • Who checks its work, and whether they check all of it

So you can tell whether the tool is wrong or the way it's being used is.

We look at teams, never individuals. Nobody is scored or blamed.

See what your AI is doing. Then fix what isn't working.

Four things METRIS™ does for every AI use case in your business, every month.

  • See

    Every AI use case, in one place

    Each department's AI tools, what they're used for, and what they cost.

  • Measure

    Know what's paying off

    Whether each AI use saves time, money or rework, compared with how the work was done before.

  • Check

    Know who checked the work

    Who reviewed the AI's output, whether they reviewed all of it, and whether it's still a pilot.

  • Fix

    Fix it with your people

    We design and build the changes with your team, then measure again next month.

  • Marketing's writing tool is paying offChecked by the team leadExpand

Every finding comes with a next step

Not a report you file away. A decision you can act on.

For each AI use case, we tell you whether to expand it, fix it, restrict it or stop it. Then we stay to do the work with your team, and show you next month what changed.

Built for owners and leaders of startups and small and mid-sized companies.

Is this AI tool worth what it costs?

  • Time AI saves is worthCalculated$180Your hours × your hourly value.
  • What AI really costs youCalculated$105Tools plus your time checking.
  • What's left each month$75

Sample numbers. Not verified profit or cash savings. Time saved is worth money only when you use it for something that earns or matters to you.

Value not established yet

The numbers look positive, but AI's work goes out before anyone checks it. Close that gap first.

It still covers its cost if AI saves 2.5 fewer hours a month.

Illustrative example with sample data.

Know what AI costs and what it gives back.

See the time AI saves you, what that time may be worth, and what your tools cost. Every number shows where it came from: your answers, our calculation, or your records. Time saved is not the same as cash saved, and we never pretend it is.

The 30-day check-back on a phone. Did your step work? Your 30-day check, free. The bakery's step: name one person who is responsible for fixing your posts and ads when AI gets it wrong. Then three questions: Did you try your step? Yes, Partly or Not yet. What happened? What would you like to improve next?
Preview. Reminders start with our first workshop release.Illustrative example with sample data.

Make one change. See what happened.

Thirty days later, we check back for free: did you try your step, what happened, and what would you like to improve next?

Why not just ask an AI assistant?

AI assistants are excellent at answering questions. But whether your company's AI is paying off isn't something you can ask in a chat window.

Asking an AI assistant

  • Knows only what you paste into the chat
  • Can give a different answer each time you ask
  • Can't check who reviewed the AI's work
  • Gives advice, then the chat ends

METRIS™

  • METRIS™ helps you see where AI is used in your business, what it costs, who checks its work, and whether it's making a difference. Start with a simple check-in. When you want a sharper answer, we help you bring in your real numbers.
  • Measures the same way every month, so you can compare this month with last month
  • Shows who checked each AI use, and whether they checked all of it
  • Stays with your team to fix what isn't working, then measures again

An AI tool can't be the judge of AI tools. You wouldn't ask a vendor to audit its own invoice.

One method, built for growing companies

Small and Mid-Sized Businesses

See which AI tools you pay for, who checks their work, and whether they're bringing in customers.

Weekly customers who mentioned a promotion, neighborhood bakery

Weekly customers who mentioned a promotion, a neighborhood bakery (fictional), by week from July 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026. In the weeks starting before the posting checklist started on August 15, 2026, the number of customers ranged from 3 to 6; in the weeks after, from 9 to 12. Before (average of the weeks before the change): 4.2. Simulated data.

Why work with METRIS™

  • We stay to fix it. We don't hand you a report and leave. We design the fix with your decision owner, build it with your people, then measure again.
  • Built from the records you already keep. METRIS™ reads the decision records, reviewer activity and vendor updates your systems already produce. Your reviewers do no extra paperwork.
  • Findings, not a score. Every result comes with its number and the cases behind it, such as 9 denials made during a lapsed license, so your team knows exactly what to fix.
  • Methods you can check. Anomaly detection, change-point detection and forecasting are named and explained. The same records always give the same results, so an auditor can rerun them.
  • Shaped to your organization. The analysis follows your workflows, your rules and your level of risk, whether you are a health plan reviewing prior authorizations or a small business using AI to answer customers.
  • People decide. METRIS™ shows what the AI is doing and what deserves attention. Your people make every decision, and the record shows they did.
  • The founder does the work. The person who analyzes your records is the person you talk to.
