Someone described their business in a sentence. This is what came back — specific moves, priced per month, with the sums written out.
What we took you to be
AI‑driven stock‑selection and financial forecasting service — for Boutique asset managers and small‑cap hedge funds.
Your numbers as we read them: ≈ $6,400 /mo revenue from 8 clients @ $800 each; costs ≈ $6,500 /mo (1 data scientist $5,000, cloud compute $1,200, overhead $300) → ~‑$100 /mo margin; margin leaks are staff salary and cloud spend.
Wrong about something? Add the correction to your description and run it again — the estimates move with it.

Sell $300/mo real‑time signal add‑on to half of clients
≈ $720–2,100/mo4‑8 clients × $300 add‑on
Why now: Clients are already requesting daily alerts and the model can generate them at marginal cost.
Offer a premium add‑on that delivers real‑time trading signals each day. Pitch it first to the 8 current clients; assume 4‑8 adopt. Keep existing $800 subscription unchanged.
Do this first
Email the client list with a one‑page brief on the new daily‑signal add‑on and track sign‑ups for a week.
02What you sellWorth the week · a week
Offer white‑label API at $0.02 per call, target 100k calls/mo
≈ $1,000–3,000/mo100‑150k API calls × $0.02 per call
Why now: Fintech platforms are now budgeting for low‑cost AI prediction APIs after recent spot‑instance savings.
Expose the forecasting model via a simple REST API, charge $0.02 per call and aim for 100k calls in month 1. Promote to two fintech partners for pilot integration.
Do this first
Build a minimal API endpoint, write short docs, and reach out to two potential partners to run a pilot.
03Cutting costDo it · a day
Switch GPU workloads to spot instances, cut $800/mo compute cost
≈ $600–1,000/mo savedestimated $800/mo discount, range $600‑1,000 depending on spot availability
Why now: Spot‑instance prices fell 30% this quarter, making them cheap enough for non‑latency‑critical training jobs.
Configure all current GPU training jobs to use spot instances with fallback to on‑demand. Monitor for pre‑emptions and adjust job scheduling accordingly.
Do this first
Enable the spot‑instance flag on the existing cloud scripts and track hourly spend for one week.
The rest of it
There were 7 more. And the letter that collects on them.
The full audit is ten moves, not 3 — ordered into a 90-day sequence so you know what to do first. It also includes the two things that turn a decision into money actually collected: a price-increase letter written in your voice, ready to send, and the replies to the four objections you will get back within the week.
All ten moves, each priced per month with the arithmetic shown
A 90-day sequence — which to do first, and why that order
The price-increase letter, ready to send
Four objections and how to answer without dropping the price
One payment. Delivered on the next screen.
Want a human in it? — we read your site and your numbers, sharpen every move to your situation, and walk you through it on a 20-minute call.
These are estimates built from what you told us, with the arithmetic shown so you can substitute your own figures. Check the sums before you act on them — that is what they are there for.
