Any of these hit home?

Whichever one it is, you’re already paying for it.

Thanks Anderson, Inc. is an AI and automation consultancy in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Seven questions, about three minutes, no email and no signup. You keep the brief either way.

How every build works: a deterministic rules engine makes every routing and recommendation decision; the model only writes the prose. Same inputs, same answer, every time, and every answer can be audited.

Tested across 57 industries, including yours:

We find where a business loses hours and build the AI that fixes it: custom tools, workflow automation, and training that sticks. Find out how much, in dollars, from your own numbers. Seven questions, about three minutes, no email and no signup. You keep the brief either way, and sometimes it says spend nothing.

If you could get those hours back, without replacing anyone on your team, would that be worth three minutes to find out?

Seven questions, about three minutes. You leave with a written plan: what to fix, what it costs, and what to skip. No email, no signup, and you keep it whether we ever speak or not.

See three sample briefs, from a 9-person shop to a 1,500-person enterprise
Small team
Sample brief
Bottleneck Brief
Prepared for: a 9-person service business
Your bottleneck
Quotes take 3 days to reach the customer
The layer it lives in
Wiring two systems together (not AI)
What it’s costing you
≈ $2,300 / month (from your inputs)
The fix, in phases
1 Scoped build plan: free
2 Connect quoting to your inbox: fixed price
3 Only if it pays: automate follow-up
What we’d tell you not to buy
The $30K “AI transformation” someone else quoted you.
Mid-market
Sample brief
Bottleneck Brief
Prepared for: a 140-person distributor
Your bottleneck
Every branch onboards a new account differently. Nothing is repeatable.
The layer it lives in
Rules & a database (still not AI)
What it’s costing you
≈ $19,400 / month (from your inputs)
The fix, in phases
1 Scoped build plan: free
2 One intake path, enforced in software: fixed price
3 Train the branch managers on it, then measure adoption
What we’d tell you not to buy
A second CRM. You don’t have a software problem, you have a process nobody wrote down.
Enterprise
Sample brief
Bottleneck Brief
Prepared for: a 1,500-person regulated enterprise
Your bottleneck
Specialists spend 90 minutes per file searching source documents across systems
The layer it lives in
Grounded AI + a rules layer (accuracy is non-negotiable)
What it’s costing you
≈ $2.4M / year (from your inputs)
The fix, in phases
1 Scoped build plan: free
2 Pilot with one team: grounded retrieval, deterministic rules on the math
3 Rollout + the adoption program that makes it stick
What we’d tell you not to buy
An enterprise-wide license before one team has proven the thing works.

Three shapes this takes, from a nine-person shop to a 1,500-person enterprise. Yours is built from your answers.

The AI works inside our guardrails

It can’t add a service, move a price, or soften a no.

A rules engine we built decides which of seven fixes applies and what it costs. The AI only writes it up. It can’t add a service, move a price, or soften a no. That’s fixed in code.

Built by someone who ships

1,000+ real cases in production. First working version in under two weeks.

Same discipline as a production AI system with 1,000+ real cases behind it, in a regulated industry. First working version in under two weeks, not two quarters.

You keep the brief either way

No email wall, no drip, no call unless you ask.

No email wall, no drip sequence, no call unless you ask. If the honest answer is a $50-a-month tool instead of hiring us, the brief says that.

The Bottleneck Finder

42,000
answer combinations were run through it and checked before you got here, plus 57 industries read one at a time, by hand.
Seven questions, your dollars, a written plan. Sometimes it says build nothing.

You answer seven questions about how the work actually gets done. It finds the one thing eating the most time, puts a dollar figure on it using your numbers, and writes you a plan for fixing it. Three minutes. Sometimes the plan says: don't build anything.

Every number on this site is counted, not estimated.

  • Seven plain questions: no jargon, no signup, no email
  • A tested answer, not a guess: every plan it can give was written and checked in advance
  • Your dollars, not averages: the cost comes from the numbers you enter
  • A written brief you keep: download it, forward it, take it to another firm
  • Built to be forwarded: written so your CFO or ops lead can read it cold

A 90 to 120 minute job now takes about 45 seconds. The rep still makes every call.

An AI assistant in daily use by a licensed sales team in a regulated industry. A job that used to take a rep 90 to 120 minutes of digging now takes about 45 seconds, and the rep still makes every call.

  • A searchable library of 170+ dense source documents
  • An accuracy layer that owns every number and eligibility call
  • Fast enough for a live call: answers while the client is still on the phone
  • Accounts, permissions, usage tracking: a real product, not a script
  • A 40-scenario training lab: the part that got people to actually use it

Same standard behind both: the system does the legwork, a person makes the call.

Before you go

Find the number first.

The brief is free, and so is a 30-minute call.

Run the diagnostic and you'll leave with a written brief on where your hours are going and what they're costing you, whether or not you ever hire us. If you'd rather just talk it through, the call is free too: thirty minutes, plain English, no pitch.

Questions people ask before they start

What does Thanks Anderson do?

Thanks Anderson, Inc. is an AI and automation consultancy in Scottsdale, Arizona. We find where a business loses hours and build the AI that fixes it: custom tools, workflow automation, AI training for teams and public agencies, and sales training built from a team's own calls.

Is the Bottleneck Finder really free?

Yes. Seven questions, about three minutes, no email and no signup. You keep the written brief whether we ever talk or not. It can and does tell people to spend nothing.

How is this different from buying AI software?

Off-the-shelf tools are built for everyone, so they fit no one exactly. We build around how your business already runs. A deterministic rules engine makes every routing and recommendation decision; the model only writes the prose. Same inputs, same answer, every time, and every answer can be audited.

Will this replace my team?

No. People decide; the system does the legwork. The point is giving hours back to the people you already have.

What does a fix cost?

Fixed scope, fixed price, defined finish date. Real price ranges for each kind of fix are published on the What We Fix page, not hidden behind a call.

How do you keep a project from breaking something in my business?

Every project follows the same written standard: one source for every fact, automated checks on every change, a preview you approve before anything goes live, fixed rules for the decisions with AI only writing the words, a live test after every release, and a write-up within 48 hours if anything slips through. It follows practices published by Google's Site Reliability Engineering team and DORA, a research program run by Google Cloud. The full list is on our How we build page.
