AI readiness

Find out where AI would actually pay for itself

A fixed-fee, two-week assessment that scores your operations against the conditions AI needs, names the workflows worth automating first, and prices the plan to get them there.

The problem

Readiness is an operations question, not a technology question.

Most organisations that stall on AI did not pick the wrong model. They pointed a capable model at a process that was never engineered to receive it: undefined decision rights, exception handling that lives in people's heads, data that is accurate only after someone cleans it, and no audit trail to prove what happened.

The assessment answers two questions with evidence. Which workflows are actually ready to absorb automation, and what has to change in the ones that are not.

How it runs

Two weeks, four moves.

  1. 01

    Baseline

    We measure the current state of the candidate workflows — volume, cycle time, effort, exception rate, cost per unit — rather than accepting the reported version.

  2. 02

    Score

    Each workflow is scored across process definition, data readiness, decision rights, controls and change capacity.

  3. 03

    Prioritise

    Opportunities are ranked by value at risk against feasibility, so the first move is the one that pays for the rest.

  4. 04

    Roadmap

    A costed, sequenced plan with owners and checkpoints, and the working shown behind every efficiency figure.

Deliverables

What you leave with.

  • A scored readiness report across the workflows assessed, with the evidence behind each score
  • A prioritised opportunity map showing where automation changes your unit economics
  • A measured baseline you can hold future results against
  • A costed 12-week integration roadmap with owners, dependencies and dated checkpoints
  • A short executive read-out written for the board or the investment committee
Engagement

Scope, team and time.

Duration

Two weeks from kickoff to read-out, fixed fee, fixed scope.

Our team

One lead architect and one AI analyst, on site for the workshops.

Your time

Roughly four hours a week, mostly workshops with process owners.

FAQ

Common questions.

Typical engagements identify 15 to 25 percent cost reduction. Where does that number come from?
From the measured baseline, not a benchmark. Each percentage point traces back to a specific workflow, a specific volume and a specific cost line, and the roadmap shows the arithmetic so your finance team can challenge it.
Do we need to have picked tools first?
No, and it is usually better if you have not. Tool selection follows the opportunity map; buying first is how organisations end up with capability nobody's process can use.
What if the answer is that we are not ready?
Then you have saved a programme's worth of spend. The roadmap in that case is a readiness plan: the process, data and governance work that has to land before automation is worth attempting.

A short conversation is usually enough to tell you whether this is the right first move — and what it would cost.
