The AI Readiness Audit is designed for small and medium businesses that suspect AI could help — but aren't sure where to start, what it costs, or whether their data is good enough.
- Companies with 10–500 employees in any sector
- Teams spending significant time on repetitive data entry, document processing, or manual reporting
- Businesses considering an AI vendor pitch and wanting an independent second opinion
- Leaders who've heard the AI hype but want to know what's actually viable for their situation
- Organisations that have tried AI tools informally and want a structured approach

What Audit Findings Look Like
Every audit is different, but here are three examples of what past audits uncovered:
Invoice processing — 12 hours per week
A logistics firm was manually matching purchase orders to invoices across three systems. The audit found that a simple LLM-based extraction layer would reduce this to under 90 minutes per week, with a 6-month ROI.
Customer emails — no triage system
A 40-person retailer was routing all customer queries manually. The audit identified an AI classification model that could pre-sort 80% of emails with 95% accuracy, freeing three hours per day for the support team.
Reports — assembled from five spreadsheets
A financial services firm spent two days each month compiling management reports from Excel files. Automated data pipelines and a report generation script cut this to under two hours.
When an Audit Is NOT the Right First Step
I'll tell you this on the discovery call too — honesty matters more than the sale.
- You already have a specific, well-defined automation in mind — you should go straight to a build
- Your team has fewer than 5 people and no repetitive processes — AI overhead won't pay off yet
- You're pre-revenue and looking for investor-facing AI credentials — that's a different service
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the AI Readiness Audit take?
Usually 2–3 weeks from kickoff to delivery, depending on the size and complexity of your business.
Do I need technical expertise on my team?
No. The audit is built for business leaders. I translate every technical finding into plain language with clear actions.
What size company is this for?
Small and medium businesses with 10–500 employees, across any sector. If your team handles repetitive work or large volumes of data, there are almost certainly AI opportunities worth exploring.
What happens after the audit?
You'll have a clear roadmap. You can act on it with your own team, bring me in for the AI-Powered Automation service, or work with someone else entirely. No lock-in.
