Founders who need to choose a useful AI workflow before committing to a build.
AI Opportunity and Risk Diagnostic
AI readiness assessment
An AI readiness assessment helps founder-led and mid-market businesses decide where AI is worth using, with a fixed fee from £2,500. My AI Opportunity and Risk Diagnostic takes about two weeks and gives you a workflow map, an opportunity and risk register, and a prioritised 90-day roadmap. We examine the work, the data you can access, the value of a change and the cost of getting it wrong before committing to a build. You need a named sponsor and access to the relevant people and processes, but no finished specification. I work remotely across the UK. Book a free introductory call or send a brief describing the current process and what needs to change. Detailed diagnosis and scoping are paid work.

Before we start
What does an AI readiness assessment include?
The assessment includes a workflow map, an opportunity and risk register, and a prioritised 90-day roadmap. I review the workflows, potential value, data access, failure costs and governance needs. The purpose is to give you a basis for deciding what deserves a build before committing to implementation.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
The diagnostic takes about two weeks and starts from £2,500 as a fixed fee. We agree a defined scope before work begins. The proposal states what I own, what you provide, the acceptance criteria and the handover, so the fee relates to a specific piece of work.
Do we need an AI strategy or a finished specification?
No, a clear problem, current process and desired change are enough to begin. You do need a sponsor who can provide access and own the result internally. Relevant people, processes and data help us assess the opportunity, while the roadmap gives the next steps an order.
Does the assessment include building the system?
The assessment is a diagnostic engagement with a roadmap, rather than the implementation of a workflow. An engagement can stop at strategy or continue into a separately defined build. The Governed Agentic Pilot is the implementation offer, with its own scope, evaluation, documentation and handover.
