Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does GoldenCity AI do? +

GoldenCity AI provides structured, role-based evaluations that help business owners understand where AI may help — and where it may introduce risk or unnecessary complexity.

We focus on clarity, sequencing, and responsibility — not tools.

Do you build AI systems or automation? +

No.

We intentionally separate advice from implementation. That separation keeps recommendations clean, unbiased, and focused on your operation — not on selling software.

Do you sell or recommend specific AI tools? +

We do not sell software and we do not receive commissions from vendors.

If tools are discussed at all, they are mentioned as options — never prescriptions.

What is the AI Role Map™ (AIRM)? +

The AI Role Map™ evaluates your business through roles and responsibilities, not platforms.

Where AI may assist safely
Where human judgment must remain primary
Where automation may increase risk

Is the AI Role Map™ fully automated? +

AI assists parts of the evaluation, but outcomes are reviewed and authorized by a human.

AI can suggest patterns. Humans remain accountable.

Who is this for — and who is it not for? +

This is for:

Business owners exploring AI cautiously
Leaders who want understanding before spending money
Organizations concerned about misuse or over-automation

This is not for:

“Build me a bot” requests
Instant AI tool shopping
Organizations unwilling to keep humans in control

What is the Founder’s Circle? +

The Founder’s Circle is a limited charter group for the first 20 GoldenCity AI clients.

Founder’s Circle members are early advisory clients who engage while our processes and delivery frameworks are still being refined.

15% advisory discount
One complimentary AI Role Map™ review each year
Priority consideration during early service refinement

This is not a promotional offer. It reflects the collaborative nature of early advisory relationships.

What happens when the Founder’s Circle is full? +

Once all 20 Founder’s Circle seats are filled, standard pricing applies to all new clients.

Existing Founder’s Circle members retain their benefits, but no additional Founder’s Circle memberships are added.

This ensures long-term pricing integrity and consistent expectations for future clients.

How do I start? +

The first step is the AI Role Map™ evaluation. Nothing runs automatically.
