Service · Diagnose
AI readiness assessment — know what's worth building before you build it.
The AI Readiness Diagnostic is a paid, fixed-fee engagement that runs over roughly one to two weeks. We learn how your business actually works, then map the AI opportunities most worth pursuing — and the ones that are not. You leave with a plain-English diagnostic you keep, whether or not we ever work together again.
What the diagnostic is for
Most AI projects fail before a line of code is written — in the decision about what to build. The Diagnostic exists to make that decision well. Rather than starting from a model or a demo, we start from your business: the workflows, the data, the systems your teams already use, and the commercial outcomes you actually need to move.
It is deliberately a paid engagement. That keeps it honest. We are not using the Diagnostic to sell you a build — we are using it to tell you the truth about where AI is worth the investment and where it is not.
What you get
A plain-English diagnostic
A written diagnostic document — no jargon — covering where AI fits your business, where it does not, and why. Yours to keep.
A ranked opportunity map
The highest-value AI opportunities, ranked by impact, effort and risk — so the first build is the right one.
Data and integration view
An honest read on your data, systems and permissions: what is ready, what needs work before AI can use it safely.
A route forward
A practical next step — whether that is a Production AI Build with us, work you do in-house, or holding off entirely.
How it works
- Week one — understand. We sit with the people who do the work, review the systems and data, and learn how the business actually runs day to day.
- Week two — map and rank. We turn that into a ranked set of AI opportunities, each with a realistic view of value, effort, data-readiness and risk.
- Handover. You receive the written diagnostic and we walk you through it. No obligation to build anything with us.
Who it's for
SMEs, multi-site businesses and international organisations that know AI matters but are not sure where it genuinely pays off. If you are weighing a first AI project, have a shortlist of ideas you want pressure-tested, or simply want an honest read before committing budget, the Diagnostic is the right starting point.
What it costs
The Diagnostic is a fixed fee, agreed and confirmed before any work begins — no open-ended day rates. The exact figure depends on the size and complexity of the business. Get in touch for a current price.
