Sell a High-Value AI Workflow Audit as a Consultant

In this guide, you will learn how to turn your AI knowledge into a focused consulting offer. Using Claude, you will choose a narrow problem, collect client context, and create a one-page opportunity brief that can lead to an implementation project.

• The person friends or coworkers ask about AI who wants a simple way to test whether consulting could be a fit.
• Creators, marketers, and operators who know one industry or repeated workflow well enough to run a useful audit.
• Anyone curious about freelance consulting who wants to try a few free audits before deciding whether to sell one.

You will build a repeatable AI consulting framework: a focused offer, a live assessment that scores prospects out of 100, a quick client audit, and a client-ready deck that recommends one high-return workflow to improve with AI. Run it free to test demand, or sell it as a fixed-price audit and scope implementation separately.

• A Claude Pro subscription (https://claude.ai/upgrade) and the Claude desktop app (https://claude.ai/download). Pro is the minimum individual setup for the Project and Cowork workflow shown here. Claude Max works too.
• One industry, audience, or recurring workflow you know reasonably well.

Tell Claude to research the tools, templates, tutorials, and examples that apply to your niche before a prospect fills out the assessment. Keep the useful options in a local solution library, along with notes about when each one fits and what it needs. That lets you match a bottleneck to a starting point without rebuilding the research every time.

You can also build one reusable deck template, then replace the score, evidence, bottleneck, and recommendations for each new audit. For a more polished template, follow our Claude Design guide for decks (https://therundown.ai/guides/claude-design-branded-deck).
