AI readiness assessment: know where AI fits before you spend on it
Before you buy another AI tool, find out where AI would save your team real time, whether your data is ready for it, and what it could expose. You get a written plan, ranked by payoff.
Quoted after a short call, in writing, before any work starts. If AI isn't worth it for you yet, the report will say so.
Everyone says use AI. Nobody says where.
You keep hearing that your business should be using AI. A few people on your team probably already are, with free tools nobody approved. Vendors pitch you a new AI feature every week. What nobody tells you is where AI would actually pay off in your business, what your data needs first, and what could leak along the way. So you either wait and wonder, or buy tools and hope.
What we look at
We look at four things and write down what we find. Your processes: where your team's time goes, so we can rank where AI would save the most for the least effort. Your data: where it lives, how clean it is, and whether an AI tool could reach it safely. Security and governance: which AI tools are in use, what client data goes into them, who can access what, and whether you have written rules. And the AI tools you already pay for: what each one costs, and whether to keep, fix, or drop it.
What you get, step by step
-
A short call to scope it. We learn how your business runs, agree on which teams and systems to look at, and send you a written price before anything starts.
-
We review your processes, data, tools, and security. We talk with the people who do the work, look at the systems they use, and list every AI tool in play. We only ask for the access the review needs.
-
You get a written report, and we walk you through it. It ranks where AI fits by payoff and effort, lists what to fix in your data and security first, and includes a draft AI use policy for your team.
Where you end up
You know where AI would save real time and where it wouldn't. You know what to fix first, what the next project would take, and what your team is allowed to put into AI tools. Instead of buying on a sales pitch, you start with the project that pays off soonest, or you decide to wait, with the reasons in writing. The report is yours to act on with us or anyone else.
What the report covers
- A ranked list of where AI fits in your business, by payoff and effort
- A plain look at your data: where it lives, what's messy, and what AI could safely reach
- A security review of the AI tools in use, including the ones nobody approved. It's CISSP-led; the CISSP is a certification for security professionals that requires years of hands-on experience.
- An inventory of the AI tools you pay for, with keep, fix, or drop for each
- A draft AI use policy your team can follow
- Honest answers: if AI isn't worth it for a process, the report says so
Questions, answered
How much does an AI readiness assessment cost?
It's quoted to fit. The price depends on how many teams, systems, and AI tools we look at. After a short call, you get the price in writing before anything starts. Our pricing page explains how we quote.
How is this different from your free workflow assessment?
The free workflow assessment looks at one process you already want to fix and tells you whether it can be automated. The readiness assessment looks across your business: which processes to start with, whether your data is ready, and what your current AI use exposes. If you already know the process, start with the free one.
Do we need to be using AI already?
No. The assessment works whether you haven't started or your team already uses a handful of tools. If you do use AI tools today, we review those too.
What access do you need to our systems?
Only what the review needs, and we agree on it up front. Usually that's conversations with your team, a look at the systems they use, and read-only access or exports where we need to see the data. We don't use your information to train AI models.
Do we have to hire you for the work that follows?
No. The report is yours. You can hand it to your own team or another provider. If you want us to do the work, we quote each project separately.
Is this a compliance audit or certification?
No. We don't certify anyone for HIPAA, CMMC, or any other standard. The assessment shows where your AI use stands and what to fix. If your situation calls for a formal audit, we'll tell you.
Which one do I need?
- You want to know where AI fits across your business before you spend on it. You're here: AI Readiness Assessment.
- You already know the one process you want to fix. See AI Workflow Automation.
- You already use AI tools and want someone to run them every month. See Managed AI Services.
- You want your systems tested for security gaps, not just your AI use. See Agentic Penetration Testing.
