AI Readiness & Risk Assessment — Know Exactly Where You Stand

In 2–4 weeks, entirely remotely, we score your organization across six dimensions — strategy, data, technology, people, governance, and security — and hand your leadership team a risk register, a ranked use-case portfolio with ROI math, and a costed roadmap. Fixed fee, published price, no site visit required.

What you get

A six-dimension readiness scorecard where every score cites its evidence — no consultant hand-waving.
An AI risk register: shadow AI, data leakage paths, vendor exposure, and compliance gaps, each rated and paired with a control.
Five to ten use cases ranked on value versus readiness, with ROI modeled on your numbers and a build/buy/configure call on each.
A 90-day quick-wins plan and a costed 12-month roadmap your CFO can budget against.

How a remote assessment works

Weeks 1–2: we collect evidence through administrative exports, a secure document portal, department questionnaires, and an anonymous staff survey. Week 2: structured video interviews with your leadership team. Week 3: analysis, scoring, and modeling. Weeks 3–4: your written report lands 48 hours before a 90-minute executive readout — so the meeting is a decision meeting, not a reading session.

Your team's total time investment: typically under 12 hours across the whole company — and nobody books a conference room for a consultant.

Common questions

Is this just a checklist?
No. Checklists appear inside the process as collection instruments — the product is evidenced analysis: a scored baseline, a risk register, and a roadmap your leadership team can act on in the next board cycle.
Do you need access to our systems?
Read-only, scoped, and governed by a data-handling addendum that specifies storage, access limits, retention, and destruction. It's part of every engagement letter.
What happens after the assessment?
The readout's final section is an implementation proposal built from your roadmap. Most clients continue into Managed AI Operations; none are obligated to — the roadmap is yours either way.
How is our data protected?
Per-engagement secure portal, read-only service accounts, consent language on every recorded interview, and contractual data return or destruction at close.
