The Ascension Audit is the optional starting point when the problem crosses systems. Every conversation starts at /start. - [Ascension Audit](https://andrewheldy.dev/ascension.md): The Ascension Audit is scoped after an initial conversation. It examines agreed workflows and may produce an operational map, priorities, and a roadmap. The page also explains six possible decisions and the seven-level Ascension framework. - [Ascension Enterprise](https://andrewheldy.dev/ascension-enterprise.md): Ascension Enterprise applies audit, implementation, and training at organizational scale. It is advisory and scoped implementation work, not a shipping software product. A governed-workflow example covers routing, knowledge access, provenance, evaluation, and deployment. - [Learn](https://andrewheldy.dev/learn.md): Three plain-English lessons for business operators: using AI beyond search, getting AI to work from your own business rather than the internet, and why assistants, automation, and agents are three different things. - [Solutions](https://andrewheldy.dev/services.md): The services Ascension AI offers, organized by business problem: workflow automation, connected business systems, AI assistants, and websites and applications. See published prices for web work, advisory time, and lunch and learns. Automation, integration, internal systems, and the Ascension Audit are scoped after an initial conversation. Selected work is labeled as live, or as an illustration with simulated data. - [About](https://andrewheldy.dev/about.md): Andrew Heldenmuth is the founder and operator of Ascension AI Integrated Solutions. Andrew runs a vehicle rental fleet business (Rent With Heldy) and builds AI workflows inside it before recommending them to anyone else.

Messages go to andrewheldy.ai@gmail.com and are read by the founder. For a guided intake, use /start. - [Discuss Your Business](https://andrewheldy.dev/start.md): The intake path: answer one question about what the business is trying to improve, then arrange a complimentary 30–60 minute conversation. It determines the right next step, whether an Ascension Audit, web work, automation, AI integration, training, or no engagement. Service-specific intake funnels live here too. - [Resources](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources.md): Free resources from Ascension AI: frameworks, playbooks and diagrams for running AI work in a business, each readable as a page and downloadable as a file. No signup. ## Resources - [Skills, Playbooks & Graph Orchestration](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ascensionos-skills-playbooks-graph.md): A free resource: a six-slide conceptual model of AscensionOS, the orchestration approach behind Ascension AI. Tools become skills, skills compose into playbooks, playbooks equip specialist agents, and a graph orchestrator routes each prompt through the smallest necessary context. Includes a per-node contract (objective, input state, skills, tools, model routing, budget, acceptance, output). Available as a page and as a PDF download. - [AI Basics for Business Owners](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics.md): A practical six-lesson introduction to AI for business owners: small tasks, clear prompts, and one repeatable workflow you can review and trust. - [AI Basics: Choose a first task](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/lesson-1.md): Lesson 1 of AI Basics: spot a small business task where AI can help and where you can judge the quality yourself. - [AI Basics: Understand chatbots](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/lesson-2.md): Lesson 2 of AI Basics: see why a chatbot answer can sound convincing and still need checking, using a guarded and an unguarded prompt side by side. - [AI Basics: Write a clear brief](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/lesson-3.md): Lesson 3 of AI Basics: write a prompt with task, audience, facts, boundaries, and format that produces a relevant first draft. - [AI Basics: Check and protect](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/lesson-4.md): Lesson 4 of AI Basics: a simple review habit for checking an AI answer and protecting business information before you share it. - [AI Basics: Create a document](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/lesson-5.md): Lesson 5 of AI Basics: turn rough business notes into a checklist while keeping missing owners and conditions visible. - [AI Basics: Build a workflow](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/lesson-6.md): Lesson 6 of AI Basics: build one repeatable workflow with a human review step, and measure the full time it takes. - [AI Basics: Final project](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/project.md): The AI Basics final project: turn a routine customer inquiry into a reviewed reply and compare a manual attempt with an AI-assisted one. - [AI Basics: Sources](https://andrewheldy.dev/resources/ai-basics/sources.md): The primary sources behind the AI Basics course, with review dates, and a note on keeping the course current. ## Contact - [Discuss your business](https://andrewheldy.dev/start): A complimentary 30–60 minute conversation about how the business works and what, if anything, is worth doing.
