Starting something. The Owner’s Method.
Not an agency. Not a list of 500 AI tools.
One 45-minute look at how your business actually runs, and a short plan that hands the busywork to AI.
5+ hours a week back, or you don’t pay.
An optometry practice is two businesses.
An exam schedule and a store.
Search "AI for optometry" and you get retinal-scan software for the first one and nothing for the second.
The business side nobody writes about: 🧵
Full breakdown. Scheduling, the vision-vs-medical insurance trap, the whole dispensary side, the cost ranges, the integration catch:

Free AI Scorecard, 2 minutes to see where your practice stands:

The catch: integration.
A tool that doesn't sync with what you already run (RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, Crystal PM, MaximEyes) doesn't save time. It creates double-entry.
That's the detail generic advice always skips.
Search "AI consulting cost" and you see $10,000-$50,000.
That number is real. It's just not for a 15-person shop.
You don't need a $40K transformation. You need to know which 3 tools are worth your time.
Different problem. Different price tag. What did you get quoted?
Search "AI consulting cost" and the first number you see is $10,000 to $50,000.
Run a 15-person shop and you read that and close the tab.
That number is real. It's just not for you.
Here's the whole pricing landscape, and where a local business actually fits: 🧵
Full breakdown. DIY vs. hourly vs. agency vs. fixed-fee, with the real 2026 numbers and the ROI math:
ownersmethod.com/blog/ai-con…
Tier 1: DIY, $0 to $150/month
ChatGPT, Claude, free tools, the AI features already sitting in your scheduling software.
Cheap on cash. The catch is time: 60–120 hours of trial and error.
At $75/hr, that's $4,500–$9,000 in hours you never invoice.
The math that should drive the decision:
A $997 plan + ~$40–150/mo in tools that recovers 5 hrs/week is asymmetric. Small downside, large upside.
A $25,000 bet on a system you haven't validated is not.
Start small. Earn your way up.
That $10K–$50K range is built for a specific company:
a dedicated IT person, 200+ employees, a budget line called "digital transformation."
Custom software, three system integrations, a year of management.
A 12-person HVAC shop needs none of that to get started.
