Consulting / AI readiness assessment
Find out if you are ready for AI, before you spend on it.
A scoped assessment of where AI would pay off in your business and what has to be true first: the data, the systems, the people and the controls. You get a written report, including "not yet" when that is the honest answer. Want a quick read first? Take the free 4-minute check.
What the assessment looks at. What decides whether an AI project ships.
Use cases
Where AI would save time or money, ranked by value, effort and risk.
Data
Whether the data each use case needs exists, can be reached and is good enough.
Systems
How AI would connect to the tools you already run, and what that integration takes.
People and process
Who would use it, who would review its output, and what changes in their day.
Governance and risk
Approval checkpoints, audit trails and the decisions that must stay with people.
Build versus buy
Where an existing tool is enough, and where custom work earns its cost.
Autonomy per task
Which tasks suit a fixed workflow, which need a person to review, and which suit an agent.
Cost and effort
A realistic view of build and running costs, including model usage.
First step
The one use case to start with, and how to prove it works quickly.
Match the autonomy to the task. Part of every assessment: not every task needs an agent.

Routine data entry and mapping
A fixed, auditable workflow is usually enough.
L1 WorkflowDrafting documents and replies
AI drafts. A person reviews and sends.

Agents check every item and flag exceptions for people.
L3 Supervised agentJudgement and approvals
Stay with people. AI supports the analysis.

AI readiness assessment FAQs.
What is an AI readiness assessment?
A structured review of whether a business is ready to use AI well: which use cases are worth it, whether the data and systems can support them, who will use and review the output, and what controls are needed.
What do we get at the end?
A written report: readiness by area, use cases ranked by value and effort, the gaps to close, the first use case to start with, and a rough cost and effort view.
What if we are not ready?
Then the report says so, with the reasons and what to fix first. That is often the most useful outcome.
Do we have to build with you afterwards?
No. The report is yours to take to your own team or another partner.
How long does an assessment take?
It depends on how many workflows and systems are in scope. We agree the scope and timeline before we start.
