AI Readiness Assessment

Find Out What AI Can
Actually Do In Your Estate

A 2 weeks, fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement ending in a written assessment: which AI use cases in your systems are genuinely viable, what your data and integration constraints are, what each would cost to run, and how the decisions would be audited. $3,500. No retainer, no obligation to continue.

Why this is paid:because it is real work, not a sales call. You get a document your team can act on — including, where it applies, the recommendation not to build something. If you engage us afterwards, the assessment fee is credited against the first month of that work. If you do not, you still own the analysis.

The Position You Are Probably In

Everyone Wants AI In the Roadmap.
Nobody Can Say Which Bit.

The pressure to have an AI story arrives long before anyone has worked out where it would genuinely pay for itself in your particular estate.

Too Many Candidate Use Cases

Support triage, document search, report drafting, code assistance, forecasting: all plausible, all championed by someone. Without a comparison on effort, run cost, and risk, the loudest suggestion wins rather than the best one.

Nobody Knows If the Data Will Support It

The use case that looks best on a slide is often the one whose data is scattered across three systems, inconsistent since a 2018 migration, and missing the field the whole idea depends on.

The Running Cost Is Unknown

Build cost gets estimated; per-query inference cost usually does not. A feature that is cheap to build and expensive to operate is a budget problem that surfaces after launch, when it is hardest to fix.

The Audit Question Has No Answer

In a regulated business, 'the model suggested it' is not a defensible account of a decision. If you cannot reconstruct what the system was told and why it responded as it did, the use case is not viable regardless of its accuracy.

How We Think About It

A Shortlist You Can Defend
(Including the Nos)

The purpose of this engagement is not to justify an AI project. It is to establish which use cases in your estate survive contact with your data, your integration constraints, your compliance obligations, and your budget, and to say clearly which do not. A short, honest list of two viable candidates is far more useful than an enthusiastic list of nine. We would rather tell you to spend the money elsewhere and keep your trust than sell you a programme that stalls in month three.

The most valuable line in most of these assessments is the one that says 'do not build this, and here is what to do instead'.

The Deliverable

What You Receive

A written assessment, walked through with your team. Yours to keep and circulate, whether or not you work with us afterwards.

Ranked Use-Case Shortlist

Every candidate we identify or you nominate, scored on business value, technical feasibility, data readiness, and risk, with a clear recommendation to proceed, defer, or drop, and the reasoning for each.

Data Readiness Findings

Where the data for each viable use case actually lives, its quality and consistency, what would need cleaning or consolidating first, and any gaps that make a use case unworkable as scoped.

Integration Constraints

How AI would attach to your existing systems: the seams available in your codebase, the auth model it must respect, and the specific technical obstacles we found, named rather than glossed.

Run-Cost Modelling

Estimated inference and infrastructure cost per use case at your expected volumes, with the assumptions shown so your finance team can challenge them, plus the levers that reduce cost.

Governance & Audit Design

What gets logged, how an AI-influenced decision is reconstructed after the fact, where data is processed, and how that maps to your regulatory obligations.

Costed Next Step

If something is worth building, a scoped and costed proposal for the first slice. If nothing is, a written explanation of why, which is a legitimate and common outcome.

Who Does the Work

Why We Can Assess This Credibly

An assessment sells judgement about enterprise systems, data, and integration, which is what we have been doing since 2003. We are equally clear about where our AI delivery record currently stands.

Systems Where Being Wrong Matters

Carrier data feeds and watchlist connectors integrated into a border-security platform used by member states. Assessing risk, data quality, and integration constraints in a regulated setting is not new territory for us.

Real-time pallet tracking over IoT and 0G networks with billing and cross-border logistics. Judging whether data will actually support a use case is a skill built on systems like this.

Two AI Builds of Our Own

A natural-language programme finder inside a client platform, and computer-vision attendance tracking running in our own office. Both in testing. We have no client AI delivery record yet, and we would rather you knew that before engaging us than after.

How It Runs

Two Weeks, Four Stages

Roughly six to eight hours of your team's time in total. We do the rest.

01

Kick-off & Discovery

A working session with your technical and business stakeholders: what the systems do, where the friction is, what has already been tried, and which outcomes would actually matter to the business.

02

Technical Review

We examine the relevant systems, data stores, and integration points directly: architecture, auth model, data quality, and the practical constraints on adding anything to them.

03

Modelling & Scoring

Each candidate use case scored on value, feasibility, data readiness, risk, and run cost, with the trade-offs made explicit rather than averaged into a single number.

04

Report & Walkthrough

The written assessment delivered and talked through with your team, so the reasoning is understood and your engineers can interrogate it rather than just receive it.

Scope Boundaries

What This Engagement Covers

Fixed scope means the boundaries are stated up front. Anything outside them is quoted separately, never absorbed silently.

$3,500 to Know Where You Stand

Two weeks, a written assessment, and a costed next step, or a clear explanation of why there is not one. If you go on to engage us, the fee is credited against your first month. Prefer to talk before committing? A short introductory call is still free.
