The AI Audit

The AI Audit: a clear, prioritised plan for AI in your business

A fixed-scope review of how your business runs, sized to your business. In about four weeks you get a clear map of where AI will pay off, what's feasible with your data, and a prioritised roadmap for what to do first.

Who it's for

  • Small to mid-size founder-led businesses, in any industry, in Canada, the US or Australia.
  • You're curious about AI (or have dabbled) but haven't seen real value yet.
  • You'd rather spend on the right things than buy tools and hope.

Not a fit if: you want specific software installed tomorrow, or a 100-page report nobody reads.

What you get

Opportunity map

Every place AI could save time, cut errors or lift revenue across your business, captured as a register with the calculations behind it. It's a standalone piece of work you keep: change an assumption and the totals move, so it stays useful for decision-making and prioritisation long after the audit ends. A recent audit for a national training provider surfaced 42.

Feasibility and data assessment

Which opportunities are realistic with your current data, systems and team, and what would need to change first.

Final report with a prioritised roadmap

What to do first, next and later, with rough effort and expected benefit.

No lock-in

The plan is yours to run with, with me or without me.

Recent audits

Two recent engagements, anonymised.

How the audit works

The method is older than the AI. Two examples.

Pricing

Pricing on inquiry

Every audit is fixed-scope and sized to your business, so you'll know the exact price before we start.

Questions

How long does it take?

About four weeks, depending on the size of your organisation.

What do I get at the end?

An opportunity map, a feasibility and data assessment, and a final report with a prioritised roadmap.

How much does it cost?

Pricing on inquiry. Every audit is fixed-scope and sized to your business, so you'll know the exact price before we start.

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT doesn't know your business. I look at how your team actually works, then match the right AI to the right problem, and I tell you when AI isn't the answer.

Do I need to be “technical”?

No. You need to know your business. I handle the AI side and explain it in plain English.

What will you need from my team?

A few hours across the audit for interviews and walkthroughs, plus a look at how work flows.

Will you try to sell me software?

No. I'm not a tool vendor. Recommendations are based on what fits your business.

What happens after the audit?

Run the plan yourself, or I can help build the priorities: an AI Business Brain, custom agents or workflow automations. For heavier development work, I bring in development partners and other professionals as needed, while staying your point of contact.

Do you work outside Canada?

Yes: Canada, the US and Australia, remotely and in person where it makes sense.

Is my data safe?

I work under confidentiality, only look at what's needed, and everything I build lives in your accounts.
