AI is everywhere in the news, but for most small business owners the question isn't "should we use AI?" — it's "where do we even start?" That's exactly what an AI Readiness Audit answers.

What It Is

An AI Readiness Audit is a focused evaluation of your business across six key areas: strategy, data, infrastructure, talent, governance, and culture. We look at where you are today, identify the highest-impact opportunities, and build a practical roadmap to get you there.

What You Get

In 1-2 weeks, you'll receive:

  • A readiness score across six metrics so you know exactly where you stand
  • 2-3 quick wins — practical AI applications you can implement right away, with estimated time savings and ROI
  • A prioritized action plan for the next 1, 3, and 6 months
  • A one-on-one review session where we walk through everything and answer your questions

Who It's For

This audit is designed for small to medium businesses that are curious about AI but don't want to waste money on the wrong tools. Whether you're a restaurant looking to automate scheduling, a retailer wanting smarter inventory, or a professional services firm trying to streamline operations — we meet you where you are.

Why $497?

We keep the price accessible because we believe every business deserves to understand their AI opportunities — not just companies with enterprise budgets. The audit often pays for itself with the first quick win alone.

  1. Submit your request through our audit form
  2. Complete payment via PayPal or crypto
  3. We send a questionnaire to understand your operations in detail
  4. We schedule a kickoff call with your leadership team
  5. We deliver your report with scores, quick wins, and your roadmap
