NextStep (trading as Prido AI) is a consulting and advisory firm in India. Every engagement is fixed-fee, time-boxed and delivered as written advice plus consultant time. Here is exactly what that means in practice.

No hidden steps, no waiting on an invoice. Here is the whole process, in order.
You get an emailed receipt from our reseller, who is the merchant of record for the sale. Your Prido AI account is linked to the email you paid with.
Sign in and open your account page. The tier you bought appears there with one assessment run unlocked (AI Concierge subscribers get unlimited runs).
AI Starter Blueprint and AI Audit both use the full 28-question, 6-dimension diagnostic. It takes around 9 minutes. Answers are saved to your account so you can review them later.
Your score, maturity level and insights appear on screen straight away. The full written report is available as a branded PDF — 12 pages for AI Starter Blueprint, 26 pages for AI Audit.
We email you a copy of the PDF. Customers in India can also opt into WhatsApp so a consultant can answer implementation questions in the channel they actually use.
AI Starter Blueprint includes a 30-minute recorded walkthrough of your report. AI Audit includes a 60-minute live strategy call to walk the 4D portfolio and agree what to fund, defer and kill.
If you decide to act on the roadmap with us, your AI Starter Blueprint or AI Audit fee is credited towards AI Pilot or AI Launchpad. Nothing is auto-charged and nothing is bundled in.
Consulting and advisory work. Every fee buys our analysis, a written deliverable and our consultants' time. We do not sell, license or develop software, and we do not provide IT or managed technology services. Where an engagement involves third-party AI tools, you buy those directly from the vendor — we advise on selection and supervise setup alongside your team.
The free Scorecard produces an 8-page PDF summary. AI Starter Blueprint is a 12-page consulting deliverable. AI Audit is a 26-page board-ready deliverable that adds peer benchmarks, a 3-scenario ROI model, a risk matrix and the 4D portfolio analysis.
AI Starter Blueprint includes a 30-minute personalised recorded walkthrough of your report. AI Audit includes a 60-minute live strategy call. AI Pilot and AI Launchpad are consultant-led throughout, with kickoff and working sessions. The free Scorecard is self-serve.
Yes — the PDF is yours to share and reuse. AI Audit includes a condensed board pack specifically so you can present the case internally without rewriting anything.
AI Starter Blueprint answers 'what should I do, and in what order'. AI Audit answers 'what should I fund, defer and kill, and how do I defend that decision' — it scores your whole opportunity library on value, complexity, time-to-value and strategic fit, and models 12-month ROI across three scenarios.
The free Scorecard uses 20 questions. AI Starter Blueprint and AI Audit both use the fuller 28-question, 6-dimension diagnostic, which is what makes the deeper analysis possible.
Your score and on-screen findings are instant. The written PDF is available immediately after you complete the questionnaire. The consultant walkthrough or strategy call for AI Starter Blueprint and AI Audit follows within 48 hours.
The 48-hour clock starts when you submit your 28 answers, and covers our consultant review of your report plus the recorded walkthrough or scheduling of your live call. It is 48 hours of our working time, not calendar guesswork.
We book your kickoff call within 2 business days of purchase. AI Pilot then runs 14 days from kickoff; AI Launchpad runs 30 days, with the KPI checkpoint at Day 45.
Honest answers to the diagnostic, one named point of contact, and — for implementation engagements — access to the tools you already use. That's it. Delays almost always come from waiting on tool access.
Sign in with the email you paid with and open your account page. Your purchase appears there, with your assessment run unlocked and every past report kept in your history.
One assessment run per one-time purchase, which is what the deliverable is priced around. AI Concierge subscribers get unlimited runs while their subscription is active. Your past assessments and reports stay in your account either way.
Yes, and fees roll forward. AI Starter Blueprint credits into AI Audit, AI Audit credits into AI Pilot or AI Launchpad, and AI Pilot credits into AI Launchpad within 30 days. You only ever pay the difference.
Sign out and back in first — access is tied to the email used at checkout. If it still hasn't appeared, email us with your receipt and we'll fix it the same business day.
Every price is shown in both USD and INR. Customers in India are billed in INR and can pay by card, debit card or UPI; everywhere else is billed in USD. India pricing is set to the local market rate, not a straight conversion.
Our online reseller acts as merchant of record for all orders. They handle billing, tax and invoicing, and their receipt is your proof of purchase. We never see or store your card details.
A 30-day money-back guarantee on paid engagements. AI Pilot additionally guarantees one adopted workflow within 14 days or a 100% refund. AI Concierge is cancel-anytime with the first month refundable.
No. Every diagnostic and implementation engagement is a fixed-fee, time-boxed piece of advisory work. Only AI Concierge recurs, and it has no minimum term.
Email us and a consultant replies within one business day. Customers in India can also continue the conversation on WhatsApp after a report is delivered.
