The AI Assessment: certainty before spend.
A fixed-price study of your processes. We map the manual work, quantify its cost, and deliver a prioritised roadmap with a business case for each opportunity — yours to keep, whoever you build with.
Why start here
Most AI projects fail before they start — because nobody proved which process was worth automating, what it currently costs, or what “better” would measurably mean. The assessment answers those three questions before you commit to building anything.
It is fixed-price, agreed before we start, so you never buy an open-ended engagement. And the deliverable is deliberately portable: a business case you could hand to any competent supplier. We think advice you are free to take elsewhere is the most credible advice there is.

Board-ready roadmap
Every opportunity costed, scored and sequenced — with a business case each.
03
Pilot recommendation
The one process to automate first, with its success metric defined in advance.
04
Portable by design — a business case you could hand to any competent supplier.
What you get
- Process map — the manual flows in scope, documented as they actually run (not as the org chart says they run).
- Cost of the status quo — hours and salary cost of the manual work, error rework, and decision delay, built from your own figures.
- Prioritised opportunity roadmap — every automation opportunity scored for return, effort and risk, sequenced into phases.
- Business case per opportunity — costs, expected savings, risks, timeline and payback, in a format a board or finance director will accept.
- Pilot recommendationy — the one process we would automate first, with its success metric defined in advance.
How it works
- 1. Scope (before you pay): a free Discovery Consultation confirms whether an assessment is worth your money at all. If it is not, we say so.
- 2. ScopStudy: structured interviews with the people who do the work, plus a review of the systems the work flows through. A few hours of your team’s time, not weeks.
- 3. Report and walkthrough: the roadmap and business cases, presented in plain English, with a working session so your team owns the findings.
Every package converts to an optional managed service with quarterly performance reviews — momentum, not maintenance.
Fair questions
How much does it cost to get started?
The consultation is free. The assessment is fixed-price, agreed before we start. Project pricing follows from the assessment, so you never buy an open-ended engagement.
What if the assessment finds nothing worth automating?
We say so. An honest “not yet” costs us a project and earns us a referral; that trade always works in our favour.
How do we justify this to the board?
The assessment produces a board-ready business case: costs, savings, risks, timeline, payback. That document is the deliverable, not a sales aid.
