Most businesses that ask for "AI automation" do not have an AI problem. They have a hand-off problem: an enquiry that sits in WhatsApp until Monday, an invoice that is typed twice, a follow-up that depends on one person remembering. Automating the wrong hand-off is expensive, so every MNB engagement starts with a fixed-price assessment rather than a proposal. This is what it covers.
1. Where the enquiries enter, and where they die
We map every channel a customer can use to reach you: website form, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, phone, walk-ins, marketplaces. For each one we ask two questions: how long until a human replies, and what happens if nobody does? In most Indian SMEs the honest answer to the second question is "nothing". The enquiry is simply lost. Measuring that leak is the single most valuable number in the assessment, because it tells you what an always-on agent is worth before a line of code is written.
2. The five most repeated tasks
We sit with the people doing the work and log what they actually repeat: quotations, reminders, GST invoices, stock updates, appointment confirmations, payment follow-ups. Each one is timed and priced at the loaded cost of the person doing it. This produces a short list ranked by rupees per month, not by how exciting the technology is.
3. Data that already exists
Automation is only as good as the records it can read. We check whether customer, product and pricing data lives in one place, whether it is current, and who is allowed to change it. If the answer is a spreadsheet with four copies, the first deliverable is usually a single source of truth, not an agent.
4. The compliance edge
Anything that touches invoices, payroll, KYC or customer data has to survive an audit. We note which processes need an approval step kept in human hands, what has to be logged, and which regulations apply. This is the part of the assessment that most agencies skip and most clients thank us for later.
5. A build plan with a number on it
The output is a two-page plan: the three automations worth building first, what each one costs to run per month, the savings or revenue it should produce, and the date you can expect the first result. If the plan does not pay back inside a quarter, we say so. Some assessments end with a recommendation to fix a process manually before automating anything, and in that case the fee is the only thing the client pays.
Why it is priced, not free
A free audit is a sales call. A paid assessment is a piece of work you can hold us to, and it changes who turns up to the meetings on your side. The ₹9,999 fee is credited back in full when you proceed with the build.
