AI MARKETING MACHINE® Pre-Work — Bottleneck Audit

Find Your Bottlenecks

Before we build your AI business operating system, we need to know where your time, energy, and money are actually going. This audit takes about 10–15 minutes and becomes the foundation for everything we build together.

Section 1 of 5
Your Business Snapshot
Quick context so your results are personalised to where you're at right now.

TEAM QUESTIONS
Are your team members currently using AI tools in their work?
Yes, several are using AI regularly
A couple have dabbled but nothing consistent
Not that I know of
I haven't thought about it yet

Do you need your team to be upskilled in AI as part of this program?
Yes - this is important for us
Maybe - I'd like to explore it
No - this is just for me right now

Is it clear who owns each task or area in your business?
Think about whether everyone knows their responsibilities, or if things regularly fall through the cracks.
Yes - we have clear ownership across the board
Mostly - but a few things are blurry
It's murky - we're not always sure who does what
Everything defaults back to me regardless
Where Does Your Time Actually Go?
Rate how much time each area of your business currently takes. 1 = barely any time, 5 = it's eating my week.
TIME RATINGS — HOW MUCH OF YOUR WEEK DOES EACH AREA TAKE?
Of the areas you rated 3 or above, which one drains your energy the most?
Time and energy aren't always the same thing. Something can take a lot of time but still light you up - or take less time but completely wipe you out. Which area leaves you most depleted?
Content creation
Admin & scheduling
Sales & follow-up
Client / programme delivery
Invoicing & finances
Operations & systems
Emails & communications
Social media management
Is there anything outside the areas above that takes significant time in your week?
Your Bottlenecks & Processes
Let's get specific about what's taking your time — and how well those tasks are actually documented right now.
Which of these do you do repeatedly every week? (Select all that apply)
Select everything that applies, then we'll dig into each one below.
Writing social content
Answering DMs / emails
Scheduling / calendar admin
Onboarding clients
Invoicing / chasing payments
Creating proposals / offers
Reporting / tracking results
Research / staying current
Customer support / FAQs
Programme / course delivery
Team check-ins / management
Sales calls / follow-up
Overall, how much of how your business runs is actually written down?
Almost nothing - it all lives in my head
A few things are written down but it's patchy
About half documented, half in my head
Most things documented - we have proper SOPs
Where do you most often get stuck, delayed, or hit a wall?
Think about the moments you procrastinate, freeze up, or lose hours without meaning to.
If you could hand ONE thing off to AI tomorrow, what would it be?
Be as specific as possible - "answering DMs asking about pricing" is more useful than just "social media".
What does your average week look like in terms of hours worked?
Under 20 hours (part-time)
20–35 hours
35–50 hours
50+ hours (always on)
