Compare Options Intelligence Brief vs Intelligence Machine
Which One Is Right for You?
The Intelligence Brief gives you a strategic report and 90-day roadmap. The Intelligence Machine gives you a complete system with 50+ AI Specialists your team uses every day. Here’s the breakdown.
THE QUICK ANSWER
Get the Intelligence Brief if:
- You want clarity before committing to a larger engagement
- You need a focused 120-day plan, not a 12-month system
- You want to test what it’s like to work with us
- You have a marketing person or agency who needs direction
- You’re not ready to answer 100+ questions right now
Get the Intelligence Machine if:
- You already know you want the full system
- You want 50+ AI Specialists your team uses every day
- You want a 12-month playbook with precise probability percentages
- You want mastermind access and ongoing community support
- You’re ready to invest in infrastructure that gets smarter over time
Not sure? Keep reading. Or Schedule A Clarity Call and we’ll figure it out together in 20 minutes.
OUR RECOMMENDATION
Most people should start with the Intelligence Brief.
It gives you clarity, a 90-day roadmap, and a taste of working with us. If you need more after that, you get a $2,500 credit toward the full Intelligence Machine.
The only people who should skip straight to the Intelligence Machine are those who already KNOW they want:
- 50+ AI Specialists their team uses every day
- Mastermind access with monthly calls alongside Dr. Dustin Burleson
- Direct access to our founder, Jimmy Nicholas, through monthly open office hours, special live trainings, and Q&A sessions (Jimmy’s consulting rate is $1,250/hour. Dr. Burleson’s is even higher. You get both included.)
- A 12-month playbook with ongoing quarterly updates
- Infrastructure that gets smarter over time
If that’s you, go straight to the Intelligence Machine. If you’re not sure, start with the Brief. You can always upgrade.

Intelligence Machine Investment | $10,500 |
Your Intelligence Brief Credit | -$2,500 |
Your Upgrade Investment | $8,000 |
Everything we learn in your Intelligence Brief feeds into your Intelligence Machine. You’re not starting over. You’re building on it.
The math:
- You pay $4,000 for the Intelligence Brief
- If you upgrade, $2,500 transfers
- You “lose” $1,500
- You get more credit than what you leave behind

Schedule A Clarity Call. We'll figure it out in 20 minutes. No pressure. No pitch. Just clarity on which option fits your situation.
No. The Intelligence Brief is a standalone product. You can take your report, implement your 90-day roadmap, and never talk to us again. The upgrade path is an option, not an obligation.
The Intelligence Brief gives you a strategic report and a 90-day plan with one AI assistant you can ask questions.
The Intelligence Machine gives you a complete system: full voice extraction, 50+ AI Specialists your team uses daily, a 12-month playbook with precise probabilities, mastermind access, and quarterly updates forever.
