AI Readiness Assessment
Most executives don't need another vendor pitch deck. They need an honest, prioritized view of where AI actually fits their operation, and where it doesn't. This is that engagement.
The AI Readiness Assessment is built for CPOs, COOs and CFOs in one of two spots: no AI in production yet, and you want a defensible plan before committing capital; or a handful of pilots that haven't moved the commercial needle, and you need someone to tell you why.
We spend a month inside your business. We audit processes, data, vendor relationships, team capability and commercial priorities. We talk to the people who'd have to live with the answer. Then we come back with a short, specific document. Not a 120-slide deck. It ranks the top AI opportunities by ROI, risk and time-to-value, with a 90-day plan and a named owner for each one.
The deliverable is built to survive a board meeting. If a director pushes back on the numbers, your CPO can defend them. That's the bar.
Inclusions
- Process and data audit across the business: we map what's real vs. what's assumed
- Vendor and tooling review: what you're paying for, what's actually earning its keep
- Top opportunities ranked by ROI, risk and time-to-value with defensible sizing
- 90-day implementation plan with named owners and measurement criteria
- Board-ready executive summary: one page that stands alone
Fixed fee, paid in two installments. Fee is credited in full against an AI Build Program if you continue with us within 60 days.
When this engagement is the right call
- You've read the headlines but don't have a plan
- Your team has run pilots that stalled and you need a diagnosis
- You've been pitched by three agencies and don't trust any of them
- You need a defensible AI budget ask for next planning cycle
A 30-minute call with a founder
Bring the pilot that stalled or the budget ask you can't defend yet. A founder will tell you whether the assessment is the right first step.
