AI Readiness Assessment

Overview

Every leadership team is being asked the same question: "what's our AI plan?" This is the fastest, lowest-risk way to answer it. The AI Readiness Assessment is a short, fixed-scope engagement that tells you where AI creates real value in your business, what's standing in the way — data, tooling, skills, risk — and the fastest path to results. You leave with a scorecard and a 90-day roadmap, not a sales pitch.

What we look at

Opportunity mapping across your real workflows — where AI saves hours, cuts cost, or unlocks something new, and where it honestly doesn't. Data & tooling — what you have, what's missing, and what needs to change before AI can work. Skills & adoption — how ready your team is to use these tools well. Risk & compliance — where you stand against the EU AI Act and your own data obligations. Model & tool fit — the right tool for the right job: Anthropic's Claude where it leads, and dedicated image, video, or specialist models where they fit better. We stay vendor-honest.

Our approach

We interview the people who do the work, map the workflows, and score readiness across each dimension. Then we prioritize — not a wish list, but the two or three moves that pay off first. If AI isn't the right answer for a workflow, we tell you. The output is something you can act on with or without us.

What you get

A readiness scorecard, a prioritized 90-day roadmap with clear next steps, and an executive readout that aligns your team. Everything is yours to keep.

Try the free self-check first

The self-check at the top of this page gives you a directional readiness score in about three minutes: twelve questions across opportunity, data, skills, and governance, scored instantly — with a full report of recommendations on screen and in your inbox. It's the fastest way to see where you stand before deciding whether the full assessment is worth it. No sales call attached.

FAQs

Is the free self-check the same as the full assessment?
No. The self-check is a twelve-question snapshot based on what you tell us — useful for a first read of where you stand. The full assessment is the fixed-fee engagement described on this page: we interview your team, map real workflows, score readiness against what we actually find, and hand you a prioritized 90-day roadmap.

How long does it take?
One to two weeks, depending on the size of your team and the number of workflows in scope.

Do we have to build with you afterward?
No. The roadmap is vendor-neutral and yours to keep. Many clients run the first phase themselves; others bring us in to build or to train their team. Either is fine.

Is this only for large companies?
No. It's scaled to where you are — a focused diagnostic works just as well for a 10-person team as for an enterprise division.

How much does an AI Readiness Assessment cost?
It's a fixed fee, not open-ended hourly billing. The right scope — and the exact number — depends on your team and the workflows in play, so we agree it with you on a short call (online or in person) before any work begins. You'll have a clear, fixed quote before you commit to anything.

What deliverables do we walk away with?
A readiness scorecard across opportunity, data, skills, and risk; a prioritized 90-day roadmap with concrete next steps; and an executive readout to align your team. Everything is yours to keep.

How is this different from hiring a strategy consultant?
We're engineers, not deck-makers. The roadmap is grounded in what's actually buildable with today's tools — and if you want, we can build it. You leave with a plan you can ship from, not a slideshow.
