You've had the AI conversation. Now you need a decision.
Leadership teams often have a growing list of AI ideas and no honest way to rank them. Vendors promise everything, engineers are stretched, and every quarter the list gets longer without the business getting any faster.
The audit exists to end that loop. Two weeks, a fixed price, and a set of decisions you can actually act on.
Step 01
Interviews
Structured sessions with leaders, operators and IT. Real workflows, not job titles.
Step 02
Map & cost
Every candidate use case gets a business case: impact, effort, risk, dependency.
Step 03
Prioritise
Do now / not yet / leave alone. Quick wins separated from strategic bets.
Step 04
Debrief
Two-hour session with the leadership team. Q&A, trade-offs, sign-off options.
- 01Opportunity map covering every candidate use case, in one page
- 02Prioritised quick wins with cost, effort and expected outcome
- 03Business case per shortlisted use case with assumptions stated
- 04Readiness review across data, tooling, skills and governance
- 05Board-ready roadmap with sequencing and phasing
- 06Two-hour debrief with leadership; recording and slides included
£150K programme signed off in one meeting.
A Series-B SaaS business used this audit to get from a scattered opinion set to twelve costed use cases and four quick wins. Their board approved the full programme in a single meeting because every recommendation was already costed.
- 10–200 staff and a leadership team ready to make calls
- You want to move within the next quarter, not next year
- Willing to share real workflow data, not just polished slides
- Ready to commit a small internal team for two weeks
- Looking for a slide deck to accompany a fundraise
- No appetite to actually implement anything afterwards
- Expecting a fixed multi-year transformation plan
Common questions from leadership teams.
Steve, personally. No juniors, no sub-contractors, no delivery pod.
Access to the people who actually do the work, a couple of hours of leadership time each week, and honesty about what's not working.
Then the roadmap says so and you save money. 'Not yet' and 'leave alone' are valid outputs.
Sometimes. The audit is deliberately independent of the build — you can pick any partner, or your own team, to deliver it.

Sixty minutes. One clear answer. Book a paid strategy call and leave with a costed, honest next step.
