AI readiness audit
Boards are asking about AI strategy. Vendors are quoting six figures. Before any of that, it's worth knowing which of your processes are actually automatable, what your data can support, and where the honest ROI is.
What you get
A two-week assessment that tells you which AI opportunities in your business are worth pursuing, which aren't, and what it would cost to find out.
01Process inventory
Interviews across the functions where work piles up. We come out with a list of candidate workflows and the volume, time, and error cost of each.
02Data readiness assessment
What exists, where, in what condition, and whether it can support the opportunities on the list. This is where most enthusiasm meets reality.
03Opportunity ranking with ROI
Each candidate scored on value, feasibility, and risk, with a modeled payback period and the assumptions behind it stated plainly.
04A recommended first move
One project, scoped, priced, and sequenced — including the option that you shouldn't start yet, if that's what we find.
05Board-ready report
A written deliverable and a presentation session. Yours to use with any vendor, including one that isn't us.
Shapes this usually takes
Most engagements take one of these three shapes. Which one fits depends on how well-defined the problem already is — tell us the situation and we'll say which, and what it would take.
Focused audit
One department or process area. Good when you already suspect where the opportunity is.

Boring where boring works, current where it matters. We pick for what your team can maintain after we leave — not for what looks good in a case study.
Common questions
What if the answer is that we shouldn't do AI yet?
Then that's the report you get, with what would need to change first. We've delivered it before. It's a cheaper finding at $18k than at $400k.
How much of our team's time does it take?
Roughly 8–12 hours total across your stakeholders, in 45-minute interviews, plus read-only access to a few systems.
Can we use the report with other vendors?
Yes. It's written to be vendor-neutral and it's yours outright. If someone else can build it better or cheaper, you should know that.
