AI Readiness Assessment
Move From General AI Interest to a Prioritized, Realistic Adoption Roadmap
The AI Readiness Assessment is a one-week, fixed-fee review of where your organization stands and where AI can be applied safely and usefully. It works the same way for businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits: a ranked, defensible plan before you fund a pilot.
We review selected tools, workflows, documentation patterns, staff readiness, and risk considerations, then deliver a prioritized roadmap for training, automation pilots, internal assistants, or custom builds. The fee is $6,500, flat. If one process is already the obvious candidate, the AI Workflow Audit ($3,500) is the narrower starting point.

Choose the AI readiness assessment that fits your scope
Three fixed-fee options, each ending in a written plan. Anything an assessment recommends is quoted separately.
Introductory AI Readiness Assessment
$2,500fixed fee
Several business days
A plain-language summary of where AI can help, where it shouldn't be used yet, and what to do next.
Best for: Very small businesses, one-person operations and nonprofits taking a first structured look at AI.
AI Workflow Audit
$3,500fixed fee
1–2 weeks
One workflow mapped end to end, opportunities ranked by ROI and risk, and a 30-day implementation plan.
Best for: Owner-led and mid-sized businesses, and public-sector teams, with one process that costs more hours than anyone has measured.
AI Readiness Assessment
$6,500fixed fee
1 week
A prioritized use-case list and a 30/60/90-day roadmap leadership can fund and act on.
Best for: Teams that want a whole function or department reviewed and its AI projects sequenced.
AI readiness assessment questions
A short, fixed-scope review of your workflows, data, tools, and people that ends in a ranked answer to three questions: where AI will pay off, where it won't, and what to do first. Ours are fixed-fee and run from several business days to two weeks, depending on scope.
Our prices are published and fixed: $2,500 for the Introductory AI Readiness Assessment (several business days), $3,500 for the AI Workflow Audit (one workflow, 1–2 weeks), and $6,500 for the AI Readiness Assessment (a whole function, one week). Anything an assessment recommends is quoted separately.
If one process is the obvious candidate, start with the AI Workflow Audit. If several teams are asking for AI and someone has to sequence them, choose the AI Readiness Assessment. If you're a very small business, a one-person operation or a nonprofit and want a light first step, the Introductory AI Readiness Assessment fits. Public-sector and other larger teams wanting a first look start with the Audit.
A readiness summary, a review of the workflows and tools in scope, a prioritized use-case list ranked by value, feasibility, risk, and speed to implement, risk and human-review considerations, a recommended next step, and a 30/60/90-day roadmap leadership can act on.
Because adoption has usually started already. In most organizations, staff are quietly using consumer AI tools on their own, and habits formed without guidance get harder to change the longer they run. We start by mapping the AI use that already exists, not to police it, but because your team's workarounds are the best map of where the real friction is. Adoption by design, not by default.
