Practical AI for small businesses.
CoreStream Solutions is a two-person team that helps small businesses figure out where AI actually pays off, builds the workflows that capture that value, and trains your team to keep running them after we leave.

Three things we believe about AI in small businesses
AI is useful for the predictable first draft of a proposal, a customer update, or an intake email. Judgment, context, and owner signoff stay with a person. Build the workflow so AI drafts and a named human decides.
Useful AI starts with a specific workflow, clean enough data, and one person who owns the result. Buying another tool before those pieces are in place usually adds another handoff instead of removing one.
If we audit your business and find AI shouldn't be a priority right now, we tell you. You don't pay for a Build you don't need. We'd rather be useful once than sell you something twice.
How the engagement runs
Three SKUs. You can stop after any of them. We never push the next one if the last one didn't earn it.
1. AI Readiness Audit · $5,000
Five business days. Three video calls (kickoff Tuesday, deep-dive Wednesday, delivery walkthrough the following Monday). You get a written audit report, a Loom walkthrough, and a one-page Exec Summary you can forward to your co-owner.
Includes a 0 to 50 score across 5 Indicators (People, Process, Data, Tools, Strategy), a prioritized roadmap of 5 to 8 workflows, and the first workflow scoped in build-ready detail.
2. Custom AI Build · $10,000 to $15,000
Four to eight weeks. Two ways to run it:
- Done-For-You:we build the automation, hand it over running, you focus on running the business.
- Build-With-You(+10 to 20% premium): we build side-by-side with someone on your team in synchronous working sessions. They leave knowing how the system works and can extend it.
Same automation either way. The choice is yours at the Audit close.
3. Ongoing AI Operations · $1,500 / month
Monitoring, maintenance, continuous improvement, quarterly strategy reviews. Cancel anytime. Most Build clients add Ops at launch.

- An owner or operations leader directly making the investment decision
- At least one clear workflow that eats your team's time

- Businesses with 1-4 employees: the free Checklist gives you a useful first-pass roadmap at $0.
- Businesses with 51+ employees:you likely need a larger implementation partner. We'll refer you.
- Businesses looking only for a SaaS tool:we build the wrap around tools. We don't resell software.
