AI readiness advisory for small businesses.
New Mexico Lightning helps small business owners cut through the noise around artificial intelligence and identify what's actually worth adopting — then helps their teams adopt it in a way that sticks.
What we do
A structured, honest assessment — not a sales pitch.
Most small businesses know they should be using AI tools somewhere in their operations, but don't know where to start, what's worth paying for, or how to get a team to actually use new tools instead of quietly reverting to the old way. We provide a structured, honest assessment — not a sales pitch for a particular product.
Three focus areas
Workflow assessment
Identifying which parts of day-to-day operations are actually good candidates for AI-assisted tools, and which aren't.
Tool evaluation
Independent, vendor-neutral recommendations based on a business's actual needs and budget.
Adoption support
Helping teams adopt new tools in practice, not just in theory, by addressing the human side of change.
Who we work with
Owner-operators who want a clear, independent read.
Owner-operators who want a clear, independent read on where AI tools can help their operations — without the hype, and without committing to expensive systems that never get used.
