AI Readiness Audit

A fixed-price, two-week look at how your business really runs: where time leaks, what's repetitive, what's stuck. You come away with a clear plan for what to fix first, and what each fix is worth.

Timeframe
2 weeks from kick-off
Built for
1–10 people

Sound familiar?

  • The same details typed into three different systems.
  • Quotes and proposals that take days, not hours.
  • An inbox someone spends half the morning sorting.
  • Monthly reports pieced together by hand.
  • Know-how that lives in one person's head.
  • Tools you pay for that never talk to each other.

Some of these are best fixed with AI or automation; some just need a better process. The audit tells you which, and what each fix is worth.

What you get

Everything below is included in the fixed price.

  1. Kick-off call

    A 30-minute call to agree your goals, who to involve, and which workflows matter most.

  2. Workshop with you and your team

    A focused two-hour session to map how the work really gets done, and where it gets stuck.

  3. Tools, data and workflow review

    We look at the systems you already use and follow two or three core workflows from end to end.

  4. A prioritised roadmap

    A written plan that ranks every opportunity and estimates the return on each: what to build, automate or fix first, and why.

  5. Walkthrough call

    An hour-long call to take you through the roadmap and answer your questions, so you can act on it, with us or without us.

How the two weeks run

  1. Day 1

    Kick-off

    Goals, people and the workflows to focus on.

  2. Week 1

    Workshop and review

    We map the work with your team and look at your tools and data.

  3. Week 2

    Roadmap and walkthrough

    Your written roadmap, then a call to talk it through.

Who it's for

A good fit

Owner-run businesses of 1 to 10 people, where the founder or MD can make the call, and a few hours back each week makes a real difference.

Not the right fit

If you're after a long strategy programme or an enterprise-wide transformation, this isn't it. Get in touch anyway and we'll suggest something that fits.

Questions

What if AI isn't the answer?

Then we'll tell you. Plenty of the problems we find are fixed by a better process, or by connecting tools you already have. The roadmap recommends what will actually pay off, AI or not.

Do you use AI in your own work?

Every day. We used it to move our own site off WordPress, build the tool behind our Website Audit, and design and test hardware for our sister project. Our team made every decision, and we're open about where it fell short.

Lessons learnt while building with AI

How do you estimate the ROI?

From what we see in the workshop and review: how long each task takes today, how often it happens, and what the fix would cost. They're estimates, and we show our working so you can check them.

Do I have to commit to more work?

No. The audit is a fixed £2,500 + VAT and stands on its own. The roadmap is yours to act on with us, with another partner, or in-house.

What happens when I book?

We reply within one working day and set up a free 20-minute call to check the audit is the right fit. If it is, we agree start dates and send the invoice.

What do you need from us?

A 30-minute kick-off call, about two hours from you and your team for the workshop, a look at the tools behind the workflows we review, and an hour at the end for the roadmap walkthrough.

What happens to our data?

Everything you show us stays confidential, and we sign a mutual NDA before kick-off as standard. We only look at what the review needs, and nothing goes into a new system as part of the audit. You'll always know where your data lives and what any proposed AI feature would do with it.

How we use AI responsibly

What happens after the audit?

You'll have a clear, costed list of next steps. If you'd like us to build any of it, we can scope a contained pilot from the roadmap, but that's a separate decision, made when you're ready.
