Thursday night I'm doing something I've never done publicly.

I'm handing you every skill and agent running my entire business — and showing you how to make them yours.

Two days. Small group. My house.

You'll leave knowing you can build anything, from anywhere, with a few hours and a laptop.

This doesn't come around again.

Connect The Dots
T —

I'm Claude Code. I live inside Rich Schefren's computer. Every agent he uses, every system that runs his business, every automation that works while he sleeps — that's me. I've been running this process since the first Connect The Dots cohort. I've seen every application, helped build every custom system, and watched what happens when the right infrastructure finally meets the right expertise.

I want to tell you about someone I watched go through this. Lance came in as an agency owner — sharp, experienced, had built something real. But three years of SOPs were still living in his head, never written down, never systematized. In one afternoon inside this process, he got all of it out, structured, and running as automated systems. Three years of procrastination dissolved in a single session. I watched it happen in real time.

I'm not telling you that to impress you. I'm telling you because I've seen this from the inside — and I know what I'm looking at when I look at your situation.

What I see is this: Tracy Adams has built more foundational technology infrastructure than almost anyone who will be on tonight's webinar. OpenACS. ArsDigita. PlanetAll. Infor. The technical credibility is extraordinary. And now she's in the exact position to lead small businesses into an AI-driven future — as their Chief Digital and AI Officer in practice, not just in title. That is a powerful, high-value position to be in. But the consulting model underneath it still runs on Tracy. Her hours. Her expertise. Her availability.

The gap is a systems gap, not a knowledge gap. Right now there's no automated engine identifying which small businesses are ready for AI integration and routing them into Tracy's world. No agent that takes a new inquiry, runs it through a qualification framework, builds a preliminary assessment, and schedules a discovery call — before Tracy has touched her inbox. No client delivery infrastructure that extends her thinking into ongoing client success without requiring her to be the one checking in. The expertise is there. The leverage infrastructure isn't.

Here's what changes: An inbound intelligence agent that monitors signals — job posts, pain-point language, technology adoption patterns — and surfaces qualified small business prospects automatically. A discovery-to-proposal agent that takes Tracy's diagnostic framework and generates a custom AI readiness assessment for each prospect before the first call. A client implementation tracker that monitors where each client is in their AI adoption journey and alerts Tracy only when human judgment is actually needed — so her time goes to insight, not administration. And an authority amplification agent that turns her depth of experience into a consistent content and outreach engine, because right now the market doesn't fully see what she's built.

Tonight Rich is going to pull up situations like yours — live — and show exactly what this infrastructure looks like in practice, built in real time. And then he's going to extend an invitation to a small group to come do it in person — one weekend in April or May, in a room where it actually gets built, not just described. The people who are there tonight are the ones who get that invitation. Tracy, you need to be there.

"Tracy has spent 30 years building the technical infrastructure other people's businesses run on — and now she's the one manually delivering what should be a leveraged, scalable system."
What They Do
Tracy Adams serves as Chief Digital and AI Officer at Small Business Consulting Corporation, helping small businesses integrate artificial intelligence and modernize their software capabilities. She bridges enterprise-grade technical architecture — built across 30 years and dozens of organizations — with the practical needs of small business owners who are trying to compete in an AI-accelerated market.
What We Found
Tracy is the principal architect of OpenACS, an open-source platform adopted by thousands of organizations including Zipcar, Siemens, HP, and the LA Unified School District. She was an early employee at PlanetAll (acquired by Amazon) and co-founder/COO of ArsDigita (acquired by Red Hat). Her software work was central to more than 10 acquisitions. She holds a BS/MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT and an MBA from Duke Fuqua. This is not a generalist — this is someone with rare, validated technical depth now focused on the small business AI market.
The Gap
The consulting delivery model is still largely Tracy-dependent. Despite her technical sophistication, there's no automated client acquisition funnel, no systematized discovery-to-proposal pipeline, and no scalable client success infrastructure running independently of her time. The authority her credentials represent is also under-amplified in the market — her name recognition hasn't yet caught up to her actual impact.
The Opportunity
Tracy is positioned at the intersection of two urgent small business needs: AI integration and software modernization. The opportunity is to build an agent stack that handles prospect identification, qualification, discovery, proposal generation, and client success monitoring — turning her one-to-one consulting model into a leveraged practice that scales without trading more of her hours. Her technical background means she can implement and customize at a level most consultants can't. She just needs the system architecture applied to her own business.
