Workflow map
The recurring work broken into inputs, decisions, handoffs, failure points, and the places AI can safely help.
CPG AI Map Session
Map the CPG workflow that is stealing your week.
A $750 paid working session for founder-led CPG brands that need one recurring reporting or operations workflow mapped before they spend thousands building the wrong thing.
The fit call is free. The Map Session is the first paid step. If we build within 30 days, the $750 is credited toward the build.
Best fit
Use this when the work is real, but the first build is not obvious.
- You sell through more than one CPG channel and the weekly picture is scattered.
- The founder or a senior operator still rebuilds the same report, follow-up list, or channel check by hand.
- You can name the recurring workflow, even if the current process is messy.
- You want a bounded first step before spending thousands on a build.
What you get
A clear map before anyone starts building.
The point is to make the first useful move visible. Sometimes that means a build. Sometimes it means the workflow needs a source rule, handoff, or definition before AI should touch it.
Source-confidence rules
A first pass at which systems to trust, where numbers disagree, and what should be labeled instead of forced.
Build recommendation
One narrow first workflow if there is a clear build, or a stop recommendation if the work is not ready.
Same-day action map
A written summary you can use internally whether or not Nordic Navigators builds the next step.
01
Send the workflow context
Before the session, you share the recurring pain, the tools involved, and what keeps getting rebuilt, checked, or chased.
02
Map the actual work live
We work through the workflow together for 60-75 minutes: inputs, source rules, review points, and where a human still needs to own judgment.
03
Choose the first useful fix
We identify the smallest build that could remove real weekly drag, or decide that the workflow is not ready to build yet.
04
Get the action map
You receive the written map the same day. If you move into a build within 30 days, the $750 fee is credited.
Good first maps
The first workflow should already be costing you time.
Monday founder readout across Shopify, Amazon, wholesale, inventory, and paid media
Source-confidence check for numbers that disagree across systems
Amazon sanity check for revenue, settlement, inventory, and order mismatches
Wholesale follow-up tracker for reorders, samples, demos, and account notes
Founder inbox triage for replies, follow-ups, and judgment-required messages
Review-response or support-draft workflow with approval gates
After the map
The next step is either small or it is a sprint.
The Map Session should make the build size obvious. If it does not, we stop with the map.
Operator boundary
This is not a request for private business data before trust exists.
The fit call decides whether the paid session is worth doing. The Map Session uses enough workflow context to make the work real, while keeping sensitive financials, customer data, and supplier detail out unless they are necessary and intentionally shared.
FAQ
The useful objections.
Is this a cheap AI audit?
No. It is a paid working session on one actual workflow. The output is a map and recommendation, not a vague assessment of where AI might fit someday.
Why is the first step paid?
Because the first serious hour should produce evidence. Paying for the map keeps the work bounded and prevents both sides from turning a fit call into unpaid consulting.
What happens if there is no build?
Then the map still gives you a clearer operating path, and we stop. A useful stop is better than inventing a project because a call happened.
What does the fee include?
A 60-75 minute live session, workflow mapping, source-confidence notes, a first build recommendation, and a same-day written action map.
Can this become a dashboard?
Yes, if the dashboard is the right first workflow. The page starts one step earlier: which recurring decision or check should the dashboard actually serve?
Start with the map. Build only if the first useful fix is clear.
The fastest path to paid work is not a bigger AI promise. It is a smaller workflow with enough evidence to ship.
