Book a Discovery Call · 30 Minutes with Titus

What the call covers

Three things happen in thirty minutes.

The call's short on purpose. Thirty minutes is enough for a meaningful read on fit and not so long that it eats into your day.

Where your hours are going.

You tell Titus where the routine work is stacking up. Inbound calls you're missing. Quotes that age without follow-up. Leads that go cold. Documents that take the senior team's evenings. The bottlenecks that need the owner's eye and won't run without you.

Whether you're ready to systemise it with AI.

Some businesses are ready to put an AI brain and AI workforce around the operation. Some need other parts of the business to catch up first. By the end of the call, you'll have an honest read on which category yours falls into and whether we're the right team to build it with you.

The next step if there's a fit.

If the conversation surfaces a clear shape of install that would make sense, the next step is the AI Strategy Intensive. That's a paid deep-dive (two hours one-to-one, written audit and full proposal in your inbox). If the call doesn't surface a fit, there's no next step from us. You leave with a clearer view either way.

What this isn't

This is a Discovery Call. Not a sales call.

There's no sales team at Octavius. The 30 minutes you book is with Titus directly: the operator who'd be doing the architecture and overseeing the build if you went ahead. You're not getting passed to an SDR who'll qualify you for a senior call later. You're not getting a slide deck. You're not getting a quote at the end of the call (we don't quote on Discovery, we quote after the AI Strategy Intensive when the scope is actually known).

The call exists because most AI install partners pitch you blindly off a deck and the result is a six-figure project that doesn't fit your business. Octavius takes a different path. The Discovery Call is the first qualifier on whether the install partnership makes sense. If it does, the Intensive's the next step. If it doesn't, we don't waste each other's mornings.

The operator

Titus runs every Discovery Call himself.

Titus Mulquiney founded Octavius in Auckland after twenty years in senior operator roles at Sony, an ed-tech business, financial services, health-tech, and B2B marketing agencies in the UK and New Zealand. The throughline: trusted to take a brief and ship to standard. The Octavius pitch is the same standard applied to AI install work, on the operator side.

You'll be talking to the person who'd be running your install. Not an account executive. Not a "Solutions Architect" trying to expand the scope before the engineering team takes over. Same operator from Discovery Call through to handover.

Discovery call FAQ

The questions buyers ask before booking.

What should I have ready for the call?

Nothing. The call works without prep. If you want to be efficient, jot down where your team's time is going right now (which routine tasks eat the most hours), and which AI tools you've already tried. But neither is required.

Will I get a quote on the call?

No. We don't quote on the Discovery Call. Foundation builds are scoped during the paid AI Strategy Intensive, which produces a full proposal delivered to your inbox within three business days of the session. If you'd like to move to a quote, the Intensive is the path.

What if Octavius isn't the right fit?

You'll leave the call with a clearer view of where the AI conversation is going for a business your size, and which direction would make sense if it's not us. We'd rather tell you that on a 30-minute call than after you've paid for the Intensive.

Can I bring my partner or co-founder?

Yes. Keep the head count small (two or three at most) so the conversation can go deeper. If your business has more than one decision-maker, it's better to have them on the call than to relay the conversation back.

How soon can I book?

The calendar above shows live availability. Most weeks have slots inside seven days. If nothing fits, email [email protected] and we'll find a time outside the standard slots.

Is the call recorded?

By default no, unless you'd like a recording for your records. If you want one, mention it at the start of the call.

The next step

Pick a time. Have the conversation. Decide from there.

The Discovery Call is the lowest-cost way to find out whether Octavius is the right install partner for your business. Thirty minutes. No deck. No pressure. Honest read on whether what we build and what you need line up.
