Discovery call

Scope your AI agent deployment in one 30-minute call.

A Sovereign discovery call is a free 30-minute scoping conversation with Travis Piepho. It maps the tasks you want an agent to handle, sorts genuine agent work from simple automation, checks whether your systems expose the access an agent needs, and ends with a written scope. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Pick a slot below. The conversation covers what role you want agentified first, the systems your team already lives in, and whether the Core tier, the full Sovereign tier, or a plain workflow is the right fit.

Confidential. No pitch deck. Bring one real bottleneck.

What happens on the call

How to scope an AI agent deployment, in five steps

This is the procedure the call follows. It is the same one we use internally before any deployment, and it works whether or not you end up buying anything from us.

  1. 01

    Name the three tasks that eat the most senior time

    Before the call, list the three recurring tasks that consume the most senior-person hours each week, and the systems each one touches (CRM, email, accounting, project tracker). That list is the entire prep.

  2. 02

    Sort each task into agentic work or simple automation

    On the call we run each task through one test: can the whole process be drawn as a flowchart in advance? If yes, it is a workflow and should be built as one. If the next step depends on what the system finds at runtime, it is agent work.

  3. 03

    Check the access surface

    For each agentic task we confirm the systems involved expose the access an agent needs: an API, a mailbox, a database, or a browser-driven interface. Tasks with no access surface are flagged early rather than discovered mid-deployment.

  4. 04

    Draw the approval gates

    We identify which actions in each task move money, leave the organization, delete data or reach a customer. Those get a named human approver. Everything else the agent does alone.

  5. 05

    Leave with a written scope

    You leave with a scope: which tasks are in, which tier fits, what the cloud and model usage is likely to run, and what to fix first if the honest answer is not yet. No follow-up sequence. If you want to proceed, you say so.

What do I need to prepare?

One real bottleneck, ideally three. No pitch deck needed, no prep document required. The conversation works best when you bring an actual role or process you are considering agentifying, not a hypothetical, and when you know which systems that process lives in. If you are unsure whether the work even needs an agent, this sixty-second test is worth running first.

What do I get at the end?

What does it cost?

Nothing. The call is free and a common, valid outcome is a recommendation not to deploy an agent. If you do proceed, deployment pricing is published in full on the pricing page, and what ships is described on the Sovereign Agent page.

Frequently asked

Discovery call questions

What happens on a Sovereign discovery call?

Thirty minutes with Travis Piepho to map the specific workflows you want an agent to handle, identify which of those are genuinely agentic versus simple automation, and determine whether your systems have the access surface an agent needs. You leave with a scope, not a pitch.

What should I bring to a discovery call?

A list of the three tasks that eat the most senior time in your week, and the names of the systems those tasks touch. That is enough to scope accurately.

Does a discovery call cost anything or commit me to anything?

No to both. It is a scoping conversation, and a common and valid outcome is a recommendation that you build a simple workflow instead of deploying an agent.
