AI & DATA READINESS ASSESSMENT

A clear answer on where you stand with AI — and a concrete plan to get where you want to go.

In 2–3 weeks, you'll know exactly what's ready, what's not, and what to do about it.

WHAT THIS ENGAGEMENT IS

We evaluate your data, systems, and workflows to determine how ready you are for AI.

We evaluate your data, systems, and workflows to determine how ready your organization is to implement AI that delivers measurable results. We identify the highest-value use cases for your specific business, assess the gaps between where you are and where you need to be, and deliver a 90-day plan to close those gaps.

The output is designed to be actionable immediately — hand it to your engineering team or present it to your board.

How We Work

How It Works

01

Discovery & Data Inventory

Days 1–4

We map your data landscape: where it lives, how it moves between systems, what's documented, and where the gaps are. This includes interviews with key stakeholders and a review of your current architecture.

System and database access
2–3 stakeholder interviews (45 min each)
02

Use Case Identification

Days 5–8

We identify AI use cases with real potential for your business and rank them by value, feasibility, and time to impact. We're looking for the opportunity that delivers results fastest with the data you actually have.

60–90 minute working session with leadership
03

Gap Analysis & Readiness Scoring

Days 9–12

We evaluate your data quality, integration capabilities, infrastructure, and team capacity against the requirements for your top use cases. Each dimension gets a specific readiness score.

Minimal — we may have follow-up questions
04

Roadmap & Presentation

Days 13–15

We compile everything into an executive-ready package and walk your leadership team through the findings, recommended path forward, specific milestones, and decision points.

60 minutes with leadership for presentation and Q&A

What You Walk Away With

01
SCORECARD

Readiness Scorecard

A visual Go / Not Yet / No-Go rating across every dimension: data quality, architecture, integration capability, team capacity, and organizational readiness. You'll use it for board presentations, budget conversations, and internal alignment.

02
PORTFOLIO

Prioritized Use-Case Portfolio

A ranked list of AI opportunities specific to your business, scored by value, feasibility, and time to impact. Based on data and systems you have today, not theoretical possibilities. You'll use it for strategic planning and evaluating vendor pitches.

Learn More
03
DATA

Data Hygiene Report

A detailed breakdown of data quality, accessibility, and integration gaps — organized by system and by use case. You'll use it for engineering sprint planning, data governance initiatives, and infrastructure budgeting.

04
ROADMAP

90-Day Enablement Roadmap

A step-by-step plan with milestones, owners, and success metrics. Designed to be actionable the week you receive it. You'll use it for execution — this is the plan you hand to your team on Monday morning.

WRONG FIT

This might not be for you if...

You already know what to build and just need engineering capacity. Your organization doesn't have meaningful data yet. You're looking for an off-the-shelf AI tool, not a custom solution.

Better Starting Points

If you need builders, start with Development + Delivery. If you're pre-data, a Technical Roadmap Strategy is a better starting point. And if you want a vendor, a marketplace will serve you better than a custom engagement.

RIGHT FIT

This is exactly right if...

You want an honest, technical assessment before committing budget to an AI initiative. Your data is spread across multiple systems and you need clarity on what's ready. You need a concrete deliverable for your board. You've tried AI initiatives that stalled and want to understand why.

What Happens Next

We send over a brief engagement letter and schedule your kickoff within the week. Most assessments start within 5–7 business days of signing.

Common Questions

01What access do you need from our side?

Read access to relevant databases, data warehouses, and integration platforms. We don't need admin credentials — read-only is fine.

We'll provide a specific access checklist during onboarding. This typically includes read access to databases, data warehouses, and integration platforms. We never need admin credentials or write access to any of your systems.

02How much of my team's time does this take?

About 6–8 hours total across the full engagement: stakeholder interviews, one working session, and the final presentation.

This runs alongside your normal operations. A few stakeholder interviews (45 min each), one working session (60–90 min), and the final presentation (60 min). We designed this to minimize disruption to your team's daily work.

03What does the handoff look like?

You receive the full deliverable package as a shareable document after the final presentation. Everything is yours.

The complete package includes the scorecard, use-case portfolio, data hygiene report, and 90-day roadmap. No proprietary formats or tools required. You can share it with anyone on your team or your board immediately.

04Are we committed to a longer engagement after this?

No. The deliverables are self-contained. You can execute the roadmap internally, bring in another firm, or continue with us.

Most clients do continue because the context transfer is valuable, but there's zero obligation. The assessment is designed to be standalone — whether you build internally, hire another firm, or work with us next.

WHAT'S NEXT

Where This Leads

Data and systems are ready?

Development + Delivery

We scope a development engagement around the highest-priority use case. The roadmap becomes the execution plan.

Foundational work needed first?

Technical Roadmap Strategy

We help build the data infrastructure, integrations, or governance frameworks identified in the assessment.
