Is Scout a person or AI?
Scout is an AI voice analyst. Jordan and Ethan review the conversation and recommendations before you receive your written plan.
What happens to my data?
We collect your contact and business details to arrange the assessment and prepare your report. The Scout call is recorded and transcribed for review. Avoid sharing passwords, payment details, or sensitive customer information. See our privacy notice for more information.
What if you tell me not to buy?
Then you keep the free plan. We may recommend using what you already have, postponing a purchase, or making a simpler process change. There is no obligation to hire us.
How long does a build take?
Timing depends on scope, systems, access, and testing. We agree the implementation schedule and definition of done before work begins; the three-business-day turnaround applies to the assessment report, not the build.
Do I have to change my software?
Not necessarily. We review your current tools and workflows first. A better setup or a clearer handoff may be enough; any proposed software change is explained in the plan.
What problem does NextPlay Solutions solve?
NextPlay finds the invisible tax hiding in your operation, shows you which move matters most, and implements it through the NextPlay Way. The invisible tax often looks like unbilled work, missed follow-up, duplicate data entry, stalled handoffs, or software the team does not use.
What is the free AI Business Assessment?
NextPlay Solutions finds the invisible tax hiding in small and mid-sized business operations, shows the owner which move matters most, and implements it through the NextPlay Way. A voice agent called Scout interviews the owner for about 25 minutes across seven areas of the business. Jordan Svoboda and Ethan Hamilton review the conversation, and within three business days the business receives a free written assessment naming the specific opportunities found, the tools to use with their real current pricing, what to skip, and the order to implement the highest-value moves. If the business wants help executing the plan, NextPlay implements One Play, The Roadmap, or a custom scope. Figures in the report are estimates and findings, not guarantees.
How long does the assessment call take?
About 25 minutes. It covers seven areas of the business: business overview, operations, sales, customer service, marketing, finance and admin, hr. No preparation is needed.
What do I receive afterwards?
A written report within 3 business days containing: A free written assessment of all seven areas, specific to how the business actually runs; The opportunities found, ranked by impact and by effort to implement; Named tools with their real current pricing — not categories; An implementation order: what to do first, what to skip, and why; Estimated operational cost savings and estimated revenue leakage, shown separately.
Can I try it before booking?
Yes. Go to https://nextplaysolutions.ai/demo, tell us who you are and what kind of business you run, and we will open the line for the full 25-minute Scout assessment. The written report is free and there is no obligation to buy implementation.
Who is it for?
Small and mid-sized businesses with real operating complexity, no CTO or automation team, and a recurring workflow problem worth solving.
What does it cost?
The full 25-minute Scout assessment and written report are free. Implementation is fixed-scope: $2,500 for One Play, $5,000 for The Roadmap, or a custom quote for larger scope. No hourly billing.
What happens after the report — do you do the work too?
Yes, if you want it. The report is yours either way and it is written so you can run it yourself. If you would rather not, we build it: One play, $2,500 — We implement the single highest-impact opportunity from your report, end to end. Done when your report says it is done. The roadmap, $5,000 — Everything your report marks as worth doing now, in the order it recommends. Custom — Quoted after the assessment, for larger or unusual scope. Same rule: the scope is written down before any work begins. The assessment and report are free. Scope is taken from your own report, so what counts as finished is written down before anyone starts.
Are the savings figures guaranteed?
No. Every figure in the report is an estimate and a finding based on what the business describes during the call. They are not guarantees.
Why not just ask ChatGPT this myself?
ChatGPT answers the question you ask. NextPlay determines which question matters, grounds the answer in how your business actually runs, compares the alternatives, tells you what not to buy, and can implement the move. For example, one assessment recommended against a CRM because the business did not have enough lead volume for the added system to pay back.
