How long does it take to see the first AI results in a craft business?

The first productivity gains are visible within 2-3 weeks. Significant results on revenue generally appear between 30 and 60 days depending on the sector.

Is AI accessible to an artisan without advanced IT skills?

Yes. Modern AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Make) are designed to be used without technical knowledge. An artisan can learn to automate quotes in less than a day of training.

What budget is needed to start with AI in a craft business?

For a complete transformation, the monthly budget starts at 50-100 euros (tool subscriptions). The TransformAudit at 1,490 euros defines exactly the tools needed for your specific activity.

Does the IMPACT method adapt to all craft trades?

Yes. IMPACT has been successfully applied in plumbing, carpentry, bakery, hairdressing, and electrical work. It's universal because it starts from business processes, not tools.
