Each prompt is a Greybox diagnostic, packaged so you can run it yourself. They're not productivity tips. They're how we map a firm in a discovery call — where time is leaking, where DIY automation stops working, what to ask any vendor before signing, what 90 days actually looks like. Paste into ChatGPT or Claude, adapt the bracketed fields, get the analysis.
Unlock the prompts
One email, all six prompts. We'll send you the occasional note when we ship something useful — no drip sequence, no fake urgency.
A diagnostic that surfaces the manual ops eating your week. Returns the same prioritized list we would build in a discovery call.
When to use:Run when you sense your team is doing too much manual work but you have not mapped it. Surfaces what to automate first by payback period.
Twelve diligence questions you should ask any vendor — including us. Invert the pitch; make them prove it.
When to use:Before signing with any AI ops agency, fractional integrator, or operations consultancy. Apply to Greybox too.
Maps where DIY automation breaks and a proper system becomes necessary. Names the moment the DIY workflow becomes a liability.
When to use:When you are using AI in piecemeal ways (ChatGPT in a tab, Copilot in your editor, etc.) and wondering if it is time for something more structured.
Models realistic 90-day milestones from a baseline of zero AI ops. Where engagement scope actually comes from.
When to use:When you are evaluating whether to invest in AI operations and want concrete milestones — not vague "we will save you time" promises.
Projects your monthly AI cost as usage grows. Gives you the math your finance person will ask for.
When to use:Before you commit to an AI-heavy workflow at scale, or when explaining the unit economics of an AI feature to a partner.
The pre-flight checklist of what we need from you before an engagement can succeed. Tells you where you are not ready yet.
When to use:Before kicking off any AI operations build — Greybox or otherwise — to know whether to start now or fix prerequisites first.
These prompts give you the diagnostic. The build comes after.
