AI, in
Small and mid-sized businesses do not need more tools. They need structure.
TAKTOS is an AI advisory firm built on one principle: before you automate, establish order.
We begin with a Business Check. A structured diagnostic that examines how your business actually operates today, revenue flow, customer lifecycle, workflows, handoffs, and decision ownership.
If the foundation is unclear or inefficient, we address that first. AI is never the starting point. It is never mandatory.
The Business Check is a $750 paid engagement for business owners who want proof before purchase.
Know what to fix, what to stop, and what to automate.
A real client example
A business came looking for an AI tool
to fix weak lead quality.
We stopped the purchase.
The real issue was not leads. It was ownership. No CRM. No referral process.
Decades of past client relationships left unused.
AI was paused. Foundations came first.
Avoided: $8,000 in tools that would have failed without the foundation.
This is what the Business Check revealed.
How TAKTOS Works
We do three things, intentionally and in this order.
We Diagnose the Business
Before any AI discussion, we run a Business Check. We verify how the business operates: revenue, customers, workflows, decisions, handoffs, time, and failure. If the basics are broken or invisible, we stop there.
We Teach How AI Works
We educate owners and teams on how modern AI systems behave. What they are good at. Where they fail. What risks they introduce. How to judge them clearly. Teaching does not mean endorsement.
We Advise on What Comes Next
If the business basics are sound, we guide decisions about whether AI belongs in specific parts of the business. If the basics are not sound, we help owners fix the basics first. The client does the work. We guide judgment, order, and proof. AI is never the starting point. AI is never mandatory.
Meet the Founder
TAKTOS was created by Chuck Rayman, a 30-year sales and operations leader who has spent his career helping small and mid-sized businesses work smarter. After seeing owners overwhelmed by new technology and unclear advice, he built TAKTOS to bring order, clarity, and practical guidance to AI.
Chuck’s approach is simple: no jargon, no hype — just clear guidance that helps business owners see where their work bogs down, what actually needs fixing, and whether AI belongs at all.
