Which of your processes should be automated, and what's the ROI?

AI Readiness Assessment

AI readiness assessment for your business. We audit operations, identify the highest-impact automation opportunities, and deliver a prioritized implementation roadmap with ROI projections per opportunity.

The Problem

Why do most approaches fall short?

Every vendor says 'AI can transform your business.' But which processes? In what order? At what cost? Most companies either do nothing (paralyzed by options) or do the wrong thing (chatbot on the website when the real opportunity is in operations). Without a structured assessment, you're guessing.

Our Approach

How do we solve it differently?

We interview your team, map your processes, and evaluate every workflow for automation potential. Each opportunity is scored on implementation difficulty, expected ROI, risk level, and business impact. You get a prioritized roadmap that starts with quick wins and builds toward powerful changes.

What's Included

What's included in every report?

Each report is built for your specific situation, but these capabilities come standard.

Process-by-Process Scoring

Every business process evaluated for AI readiness, rated on impact, feasibility, cost, and timeline.

ROI Projection Per Opportunity

Hard numbers: estimated cost savings, time savings, and revenue impact for each automation opportunity.

Quick Wins Identified

Which automations can you implement this month with immediate returns? We find the low-hanging fruit first.

Technology Recommendations

Specific tools, platforms, and approaches recommended for each opportunity. No vendor-agnostic hand-waving.

Risk Assessment

What could go wrong? Data privacy concerns, employee impact, customer experience risks, and regulatory considerations.

Implementation Roadmap

Phased plan: quick wins first, powerful projects later. Realistic timelines and resource requirements.

Our Process

How does the process work?

Four rigorous stages. No shortcuts, no recycled templates.

01

Discovery & Mapping

We interview key stakeholders, document processes, and map your current technology landscape.

02

Opportunity Analysis

Each process evaluated against AI capabilities: what should be fully automated, partially automated, or AI-assisted.

03

ROI Modeling

Cost-benefit analysis for each opportunity. Conservative, moderate, and optimistic projections.

04

Roadmap Delivery

Prioritized implementation plan with specific recommendations, timelines, and success metrics.

Common Questions

AI Readiness Assessment FAQ

What is an AI readiness assessment?
An AI readiness assessment evaluates your business processes, data infrastructure, team capabilities, and technology stack to identify where AI can deliver measurable ROI. We map every process in your organization, score each for automation potential, model the cost-benefit, and deliver a prioritized roadmap. The output is a specific list of what to automate, in what order, with projected savings.
How much does an AI readiness assessment cost?
Our assessments start at $2,000 for small businesses (under 50 employees) and go up to $10,000-$15,000 for mid-market companies with complex operations. McKinsey and BCG charge $150K-$500K for comparable digital transformation assessments. See our BI consulting cost breakdown for the full pricing landscape. We deliver the same analytical depth at a fraction of the cost because our AI does the heavy lifting.
Is this just a sales pitch for your AI services?
No. The assessment is independent. Most recommendations will be tools and platforms you implement yourself or with other vendors. If some opportunities align with our capabilities, we note that, but the assessment serves your interests. Many clients implement the quick wins themselves and only come back for complex builds like our Company Brain system.
What's the typical ROI from implementing the recommendations?
Companies that implement the top 3 recommendations from our assessments see 3-10x ROI within the first year. The quick wins (usually 2-3 per company) pay back the assessment cost within 30 days. We provide conservative, moderate, and optimistic projections so you know the range before committing resources.
We've already started using AI tools. Can you assess what we have?
Absolutely. We evaluate current AI implementations alongside new opportunities. Are your tools configured optimally? What's the actual ROI vs. projections? We often find existing implementations can be improved 2-3x with better configuration, different prompting strategies, or process redesign around the tool.
How long does the assessment take?
One to two weeks. Discovery interviews take 2-3 hours of your team's time total. We handle all analysis and modeling independently. The final report with prioritized roadmap is delivered within 5-7 business days of completing discovery.
