I'm Ryan Blix. Twelve-plus years translating between business and technology across regulated industries, including healthcare and financial services. Now I run the Blixco AI Discovery Method with small business owner-operators who want one working thing more than they want a strategy deck.
Book a Discovery CallSix steps. In order. Each one feeds the next. The same rigor a Fortune 500 spends six weeks on, compressed into a two-hour workshop and a week of delivery.
Inventory every process in the business, ranked by time cost. Flag the broken ones for manual fixing first. Automating a broken process produces faster broken output, which is worse than the original problem.
Map the top three to five processes step by step. Every action, every handoff, every wasted minute. The mapping itself often surfaces fixes that do not need AI at all.
Convert each opportunity into hours saved and dollars recovered. Rank by ROI and complexity. You see which automations are quick wins and which are longer-term bets.
Pick the tools, draw the data model, decide what is a linear workflow and what needs an agent. Every Blixco engagement ends with a single source of truth, not a tangled web of direct integrations.
Construct the automations. Every one ships with a named owner, a defined failure mode, and a manual fallback. Nothing goes into production without a person responsible for it.
Plain-language handoff so the team can run the system without me. With an evaluation rubric they can use to tell whether the workflow is still working six months from now.
Most AI consulting is six weeks of strategy and a deck. This is two hours of structured workshop and one week of delivery. The whole engagement is built to end with one workflow your team is already using.
Thirty to sixty minutes. You walk me through your Monday morning, your top pain points, and the things you wish you did not have to do. I do not sell. I diagnose.
I run the full method on your business. Inventory, map, audit, architecture. You leave with a roadmap whether or not we keep working together.
I build, document, and hand off the first workflow. By the following Tuesday it is live in your team's week, with a named owner and a failure plan.
A missed call is a missed job. The first workflow is usually lead capture, instant follow-up, and review generation, so the front office stops leaking and the field work stays human.
Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, pest control, epoxy flooring, garage door, tree service, insulation. Your front office is wide open for automation. Your field work stays human.
Vendor coordination, client intake, proposals, post-event follow-up. The email that owns your week, owned by a workflow instead.
Donor outreach, grant tracking, event registration, board reporting. A small team that operates like a much bigger one without the headcount.
Every system is built for your business, your tools, and your team. Here is what tends to come out of the method.
Missed-call text-back, intake routing, follow-up sequences. The gap between a phone call you missed and a job you booked, closed.
Forms to CRM to scheduling, with no copy-paste in the middle. New clients arrive fully onboarded without anyone moving data by hand.
Proposals, customer reports, dashboards that update themselves. Your team presents the work instead of building the spreadsheet.
Task assignment, vendor coordination, data pipelines, notifications. The plumbing that keeps everything running without daily babysitting.
About
I'm Ryan Blix. I have spent the last twelve-plus years translating between business and technology across regulated industries, including healthcare and financial services. The kind of environments where mistakes have consequences and a workflow either gets used by the people on the floor or quietly dies.
I am not a Fortune 500 consultant for hire. The pattern I learned in those rooms, that the hard part of any AI project is change management and not technology, turns out to be exactly what small business owner-operators need from someone who has already watched it fail a hundred ways. The Blixco AI Discovery Method is what came out of that.
The first cohort of small business pilots is in flight right now. When their workflows ship, they will be named on this page. Until then, the method is what I am asking you to evaluate, and the pattern strip below is the receipt that the rigor underneath it is real.

Thirty minutes. No pitch. Just a clear diagnosis of where the method would land first inside your business, and an honest answer about whether AI is even the right tool for it.
