The AI Readiness Audit.

We map your workflows, find where AI actually pays, and hand you a plan you own, whether or not you build it with us.

What it is

We learn the business before we touch the technology.

Two to four weeks inside your real operation. Not a survey. Not a maturity model. Not a slide deck about the future of work.

We start where the work actually happens. Where the time goes, where the money leaks, where a person is doing work a machine should be doing. We walk the workflows with the people who run them and put a cost on each one, so the plan rests on your numbers instead of someone's framework.

What comes out is a phased plan you own outright. Build it with us, build it with another firm, build it in-house — the plan is yours either way, priced and sequenced so you can act on it without us in the room.

And sometimes the right call is to wait a quarter. When the numbers say so, the audit says so, in writing. You will not be talked into building something your own data does not support.

The finished document costs each workflow in hours and dollars, ranks the builds by payback, and prices every phase of the plan.

Who it's for

Past the point where one head can hold it all.

Businesses of 5 to 100 people, $1M to $50M in revenue — past the point where the owner can hold everything in their head, and not yet big enough for a Fortune 500 budget.

An example build

The kind of thing an audit surfaces.

An audit ends in a plan, and a plan names builds. Here is one we map often.

Example build What an audit finding looks like in practice
01 Intake agent

Qualifies the request before a person touches it.

Reads the incoming email or form, asks for the details that are missing, and routes the job to the right person with a clean summary attached.

The win: every request arrives qualified, summarized, and routed before a person reads it.

Illustrative builds, not client claims. What we'd actually scope is whatever your free assessment shows is worth automating first.

If the audit finds something worth building, the Implementation Sprint builds it. After handoff, Managed Services keeps it healthy — optional, never required. Not sure who to believe about AI? Start with How to Smell the Hype.
