AI READINESS ASSESSMENT

Validate a specific AI use case before you build it.

For one defined workflow and one defined AI use case. Examine whether AI is useful, ready and controllable before committing to implementation.

WHEN THIS ASSESSMENT FITS

Start with a real AI decision.

This is not a general “how can my company use AI?” consultation. It is for examining a genuine, defined use case in the workflow where it would operate.

01A specific AI use case is already being considered.
02AI is already used in a workflow and needs a structured decision.
03Leadership needs to decide whether to proceed, prepare first or stop.
04A normal case, exception case and accountable workflow owner can be examined.
No defined AI use case yet?

If the business only knows that a workflow is inefficient, the £495 Workflow Review is normally the correct starting point. It finds the friction and determines the right type of fix without assuming AI is the answer.

FIVE READINESS AREAS

Examine the system around the use case.

Workflow

  • Normal process
  • Exceptions
  • Handoffs
  • Decision points

Information

  • Source quality
  • Availability
  • Consistency
  • Sensitive information

Systems

  • Tools
  • Integrations
  • Access boundaries
  • Technical dependencies

People & judgement

  • Accountable owner
  • Human judgement
  • Expertise
  • Escalation

Controls

  • Approvals
  • Monitoring
  • Stopping and fallback
  • Governance boundaries

These areas support a practical readiness decision. They do not constitute legal or compliance certification.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

A decision package, not an AI wish list.

Defined AI use-case map

A bounded view of the workflow, intended AI role, decision and operating context.

Readiness findings

Evidence-led findings across the workflow, information, systems, people and controls.

Required controls and boundaries

The access, approval, monitoring, stopping and fallback conditions the use case needs.

Human oversight requirements

Clear ownership, judgement, exception handling and escalation responsibilities.

Explicit readiness decision

One of five plain-English outcomes, including where AI should not be used.

Focused 30-day readiness plan

A practical sequence for the conditions, preparation or alternatives identified.

FIVE DECISION OUTCOMES

The evidence must be allowed to say no.

The assessment is not designed to justify an AI project. It reaches one explicit outcome based on what the workflow can support.

01

Proceed

Evidence supports moving forward.

02

Proceed with conditions

AI may proceed only after named controls or boundaries are implemented.

03

Prepare first

The use case may be viable, but important workflow, information, system or ownership gaps need fixing first.

04

Hold

There is not enough evidence, stability or clarity to justify implementation yet.

05

Do not use AI here

A simpler non-AI approach, human process or different intervention is more appropriate.

CLEAR SCOPE

Know what is included before the assessment begins.

Multi-workflow or unusually complex assessments are scoped separately. The fixed price applies to one clearly defined workflow and one defined AI use case.

Implementation is not included. It is separately scoped only where the assessment supports proceeding.

TWO DIFFERENT DECISIONS

Choose the diagnostic that matches the question.

AI READINESS · £995

You already have a specific AI use case.

Validate whether it should proceed and under what conditions.

A Workflow Review does not automatically lead to AI Readiness.

AI Readiness is separate and optional. Where a previous Workflow Review exists, relevant workflow maps and findings are carried forward rather than unnecessarily repeated. There is no automatic discount between the two assessments.

THE ASSESSMENT

From a defined use case to a clear decision.

  1. 01
    Define

    Name the workflow, use case, decision and boundaries.

  2. 02
    Examine

    Follow the normal process, exceptions, information, systems, judgement and controls.

  3. 03
    Decide

    Determine whether to proceed, prepare, hold or avoid AI.

  4. 04
    Plan

    Set out the conditions and next 30 days.

IMPORTANT BOUNDARY

Sometimes the right AI decision is not to use AI.

The assessment is not designed to justify an AI project. A simpler system, a clearer human process or no change may be the more responsible commercial decision.

This is not legal advice, a compliance certificate, a completed DPIA, cyber-security assurance or approval for high-consequence automated decisions.

MAKE THE DECISION FIRST

Make the AI decision before making the AI investment.

One workflow. One defined use case. A clear decision about what should happen next.
