An AI audit is a structured review of how a business operates, carried out to find where AI and automation would save the most time or money. A good one ends with specific, costed recommendations in priority order, so you know what to do first and what it is worth.

What is an AI readiness assessment?

It checks whether the foundations are in place for AI to work well: whether your data is accessible and accurate enough, whether your current tools can connect to other systems, whether your team has the time and appetite, and which risks need managing. Our audit includes this check, so you learn both what to do and whether you are ready to do it.

What do we need to prepare?

Very little. We need about 45 minutes with each of a few people who do the day-to-day work, and a look at the tools they use. There are no forms to fill in beforehand and nothing to install.

Who should be involved from our side?

One person who can make decisions, and the people closest to the repetitive work, often in operations, sales, support or finance. They usually know exactly where the time goes.

What do we get at the end of the week?

A written report in plain language, a one-hour walkthrough call, and a fixed-price quote for the top recommendation. The report lists each opportunity with estimated hours saved, cost and payback, in the order we would tackle them.

Are we committed to building with you afterwards?

No. The report is yours. You can build the recommendations with us, with your own team or with another provider. We write it so that any competent team could pick it up.

What if AI turns out not to be worth it for us?

Then the report says so, and explains why. Sometimes the honest finding is that a simpler fix, such as a better-configured tool or a changed process, will do more than AI would. Knowing that for $1,500 is a good outcome.

#What the AI Opportunity Audit is

Most businesses sense that AI could help but are not sure where to begin, what it would cost, or whether it would pay off. The audit answers those three questions in one week.

It combines an AI audit, which looks for the opportunities, with an AI readiness assessment, which checks that your data, tools and team are in a position to act on them. You finish the week with a ranked, costed plan, written for decision-makers rather than engineers.

#How the week runs

Day 1: kickoff. A call to understand your goals, agree who we should speak to, and get a view of the tools you use.
Days 2 to 3: working sessions. Short conversations with the people doing the work. We map what comes in, what decisions get made, what goes out, and how long each step takes.
Day 4: analysis. We size each opportunity: hours saved, cost to build or buy, running cost, risk and payback. We check feasibility against your actual systems and data.
Day 5: report and walkthrough. You receive the written report and we go through it together, answer questions and agree next steps, if any.

Your team's total time commitment is usually four to six hours across the week.

#What is in the report

A summary page with the top three recommendations and what they are worth.
A workflow map showing where time goes today.
Ranked opportunities. Each one gets a plain-language description, estimated hours saved per week, cost to implement, monthly running cost, payback period and a risk rating.
Buy, build or leave. For each opportunity, whether an existing tool will do, whether it needs something custom, or whether it is not worth doing yet.
The readiness check, described below.
A fixed-price quote for the top recommendation, so you can act immediately if you wish.

Estimates are based on the numbers your team gives us during the sessions, and we show the working so you can check it.

#The readiness check

AI projects rarely struggle because of the AI. They struggle because of what is around it. We look at four areas and give each a simple rating with notes.

Area	What we look at
Data	Is the information AI would need accessible, accurate and in a usable format?
Tools	Can your current software connect to other systems, or is it closed?
People	Who would own each system, and do they have the time?
Risk	Which data is sensitive, which decisions need a person, and what rules apply?

#What happens after the audit

That is up to you. Some clients take the top recommendation straight into an AI automation build. Others with several strong opportunities choose an AI implementation program. Some take the report to their own team, and some decide to wait. All of those are reasonable outcomes.

If you run a smaller business and would like advice and setup rather than a formal report, AI consulting for small business may suit you better.
