Half-day or full-day. On-site or remote. Flat fee, no extras.
Sound familiar?
The problem isn't your industry. It's the setup.
Whatever the business does, the same three things get in the way of AI being useful. The Kickstart fixes all three in a day.
Hours lost to repetitive work
Quotes, replies, follow-ups, notes, the same explanations over and over. Work that needs doing but doesn't need you.
Staff not using AI properly
Someone tried ChatGPT, got a generic answer, and went back to doing it by hand. Nobody had the time to set it up.
Not knowing where to start
Everyone says you should be using AI. Nobody says which bits of your week it's actually good for.
What you get
Five things you leave with
Nothing theoretical. Everything on this list exists in your business by the end of the day — or, for the roadmap, within three days of it.
Afterwards
- Your written AI roadmap within three days
- Two weeks of email and WhatsApp support
- No obligation to do anything further with us
- 1
Claude set up for your business
Custom instructions, projects for your core workflows, and your price lists, templates and FAQs loaded as knowledge — so it already knows how you work.
- 2
Your team trained on their actual tasks
Not a slide deck. Everyone does one real job from their own week with Claude, and leaves knowing how to do the next one.
- 3
A prompt library built for your workflows
15–25 saved prompts specific to your business — quotes, replies, proposals, notes, job ads — in a shared document the team uses daily.
- 4
An audit of your biggest automation opportunities
We walk through how the business runs and find the two or three places where automation would pay back fastest.
- 5
A written AI roadmap, prioritised by ROI
Delivered within three days: what to do next, in what order, with estimated hours saved. Yours to act on, with or without us.
What they look like
Two of the things you take away
Shown for a fictional business so you can see the shape. Yours use your tasks, your people and your numbers.
The prompt library. Lives in whatever tool your team already uses. Named in your words. Owned by someone on your team, not by us.
The roadmap. Two to three pages, in plain English, ranked by your own time estimates. Read a full sample.
How the day runs
Four blocks. No slides.
Timings below are for a half-day. A full day keeps the same shape and goes deeper on every block.
Set up
Accounts on the right plan, projects built around your workflows, custom instructions written, your documents loaded as knowledge.
Train
Hands-on with each person's real tasks. Prompting basics, projects, files, when not to trust it, and what's safe to paste.
Prompt library
We build your saved prompts together — quotes, replies, proposals, meeting notes, job ads, reviews — and put them where the team will find them.
Audit
A walk through your operations to find the two or three biggest automation opportunities. Full-day sessions go deeper on every block.
Half-day or full-day
Same price. Pick the depth you need.
We'll recommend one on the intro call based on your team size and how many different jobs people do.
Half-day
About 3.5 hours£500
Teams of up to five or six, with one or two core workflows to set up.
- All four blocks covered
- Everyone does one real task with Claude
- 15–20 saved prompts
- Audit focused on your top two opportunities
Full-day
About 6 hours£500
Larger teams, several distinct roles, or a business with more moving parts.
- All four blocks, in more depth
- Role-by-role training sessions

On-site across Bristol, Bath and the South West. Remote anywhere in the UK. Your Claude subscription is held directly with Anthropic at their published prices — we help you choose the right plan and never resell it.
Before the day
Thirty minutes of your time, then we do the rest
A fifteen-minute call to check fit and pick a date, then a short intake form. From your answers we write your business brief and plan the day, so the setup block starts with Claude already knowing who you are.
What to have ready
- A list of the five tasks your team does most often
- Examples of documents you use: price lists, templates, FAQs, past proposals
- Everyone who'll be using Claude, in the room or on the call
- Whoever can sign up for the Claude subscription on the day
Who runs it
Dan Fitsall, founder of Vantage
Every Kickstart is run by Dan personally — the same person who takes your intro call, writes your roadmap and answers your questions for the two weeks afterwards. No handoffs, no account managers.

The roadmap is the point
Within three days you get a short written plan: what to do next, in what order, with estimated hours saved. Most of it your team can do themselves with what they learned. Where it finds an automation worth building properly, that's what our Launchpad and Accelerate packages are for — but there's no obligation, and no pitch.
Written roadmap
Prioritised by return, in plain English, within three days.
Two weeks of support
Email and WhatsApp while the new habits bed in.

Questions
Straight answers
What actually happens on a Claude Kickstart day?
Four blocks. We set Claude up around your business (accounts, projects, custom instructions, your documents loaded as knowledge). We train your team hands-on using their own real tasks. We build a prompt library for your workflows. And we audit where automation would pay back fastest. Within three days you get a written AI roadmap. Half-day sessions cover all four blocks; full-day sessions go deeper on each.
Is £500 really the whole price?
Yes. £500 flat for the day, the prompt library, the audit, the roadmap and two weeks of follow-up support. The only thing not included is your Claude subscription itself, which you hold directly — we help you choose the right plan on the day and never resell it.
We've tried ChatGPT and it didn't stick. Why would this be different?
Because a blank chat box is where most teams give up. The difference is setup: Claude configured with your business context, projects built for your actual workflows, and saved prompts for the tasks you do every week. Once it already knows your prices, tone and templates, using it stops being an effort and starts being the obvious shortcut.
What kind of business is this for?
Any small business where people spend too much of the week on repetitive writing, admin and back-and-forth — typically 2 to 50 staff. We're deliberately not sector-specific. Trades, professional services, agencies, retail, clinics, manufacturers: the problems are the same and so is the fix.
Is our business data safe?
On the day we cover exactly what is and isn't safe to paste, set up the right plan and settings for your needs, and put simple rules in place for the team. We can sign an NDA before we start. Any automation we go on to build is GDPR compliant and you own it outright.
What happens after the day?
You get your written AI roadmap within three days and two weeks of email and WhatsApp support while the habits bed in. The roadmap is yours — most of it you can act on without us. Where it identifies an automation worth building, our Launchpad and Accelerate packages exist for that, but there's no obligation and no pitch.
Do you still build automations, or is it just training now?
Both. The Kickstart is where every engagement starts because it's the fastest way to find out what's worth automating. Launchpad (£2,500, one workflow) and Accelerate (£5,000, three workflows) are the build packages for when the roadmap shows something worth doing properly.
Do you only work with businesses in Bristol?
No. We're based in Bristol, so on-site sessions are easiest across Bristol, Bath and the South West. Remote sessions work anywhere in the UK and cover exactly the same ground.
