The day

Morning: how work really happens
Midday: where your data lives
Afternoon: score the opportunities together
Within a week: your written plan
WHO IT'S FOR

Teams of six or more

It works best where repeatable work runs across several people. Smaller teams usually start with a call or AI Training.

WHAT YOU NEED

A decision-maker for the afternoon

The people who do the work in the morning, and someone who can say yes in the afternoon.

WHAT YOU KEEP

The plan, either way

Your top three opportunities, the first build and its cost. Yours whether or not you work with us.

IN DEPTH

The detail, in 5 short parts

What Is An AI Readiness Assessment?

An AI readiness assessment is a structured look at whether your business is prepared to use AI well, and where it will deliver value first. It checks your processes, your data, your tools, your people and your appetite for risk, then turns that into a plan.

Most readiness assessments are written for large enterprise organisations, with engineering teams and long questionnaires. Ours is built for small and medium businesses. We do it in one day, in your office, with the people who do the work.

It follows the same idea as everything we do. AI shows what's possible, your data shows what's really happening, and our specialists judge what's worth doing. Together they give you a plan you can trust.

What We Assess On The Day

An AI readiness assessment for business should cover more than technology. We look at five areas and score each one with you.

Processes And Individual Use Cases

We identify the jobs that repeat, time them and score individual use cases on time saved, cost and risk. That keeps the focus on real work rather than on AI technologies for their own sake.

Data Quality And Where It Lives

AI is only as good as the data behind it. We check data quality, how your systems connect, what sits in the cloud and what lives in spreadsheets, and the gaps that would stop a project working.

Tools, Infrastructure And Security

We review the platform you already run on, such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, plus your accounting, CRM and ecommerce systems. We note security settings, access controls and anything that needs fixing before deployment.

People, Skills And Confidence

We talk to your team about how they use AI today, what skills they have and where confidence is low. Adoption depends on people, so this shapes your adoption strategy as much as the tech does.

AI Governance And Compliance

We check what rules exist for using AI, what data must never go into public tools, and how human oversight works. That's the start of responsible AI and trustworthy AI, sized for an SME.

AI Readiness Assessment Vs AI Audit

People often use the terms together, but they answer different questions. An AI readiness assessment asks whether you're ready to start and what to do first. An AI audit looks at AI systems you already use and checks their accuracy, fairness, security and compliance.

If your team already uses AI tools, we'll include a light audit of current use: which tools, what data goes into them and what controls are in place. For larger AI projects, a fuller audit can follow once something is live.

What You Get Afterwards

Within a week you receive a short written plan. It ties AI to your business strategy, not the other way round.

  • A readiness score for each area, with the main gaps in plain English.
  • Your top three opportunities, ranked by value, cost and risk.
  • The one we'd build first as a Pilot Build, a proof of concept you can test before committing more.
  • What it would cost, and what it needs from your team.
  • Simple governance steps and monitoring to keep AI use safe and secure.

Why An AI Readiness Assessment Matters For SMEs

Without an assessment, businesses tend to buy tools first and look for problems second. That's how AI projects stall. A short readiness assessment helps you spend on the right thing, bring stakeholders with you and build a lasting competitive advantage from AI rather than a pile of unused subscriptions.

It also gives you a baseline. When we review progress later, you can see the improvement against where you started.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it really free?

Yes, when your AI Readiness Check shows a great fit. There's no obligation to go ahead with anything afterwards.

Do you come to us?

Yes, we come to your office. We travel anywhere in the UK.

What if we don't go ahead?

You keep the plan. Plenty of businesses use it to make changes themselves.

What is an AI readiness assessment?

It's a structured review of your processes, data, tools, people and governance to see whether your business is ready to use AI and where it will pay off first. Ours takes one day on site and ends with a short written plan.

Is my company ready for AI?

If you have repeatable work, data in digital systems and someone who can make decisions, you're probably readier than you think. The free AI Readiness Check gives you a quick answer, and the analysis day tells you exactly where to start.

What is an AI audit?

An AI audit is an evidence-based review of AI systems you already use. It checks accuracy, fairness, security, data protection and compliance, and whether there's proper human oversight. It's different from a readiness assessment, which looks at what to do first.

How long does an AI readiness assessment take?

Ours takes one day with your team, and you get the written plan within a week. Some assessments for large organisations take weeks, but for a business of 6 to 250 people a focused day is usually enough.

What comes after an AI readiness assessment?

Usually a Pilot Build: one opportunity built end to end so you can test it before committing to more. Some businesses take the plan and make changes themselves, which is fine too.
