A short, structured assessment of your operations that identifies where AI would genuinely save time or money, what it would cost, and which opportunities are not worth pursuing. You get a roadmap you can act on with or without us.
Boards are asking what the AI plan is. Vendors are quoting for things nobody has scoped. This service exists to give you an independent, plain-English answer: here is where it helps, here is what it costs, here is what to ignore for now.
We start with commercial pressure, not technology. What is expensive, slow or capacity-constrained right now? That framing keeps the assessment tied to outcomes you already care about.
Short sessions with the people doing the day-to-day work. They know where the time goes, and it is usually not where the org chart suggests.
We check what data exists, where it lives, who owns it and what condition it is in. Data readiness is the most common reason ambitious AI plans stall.
Every opportunity is scored on value, effort, risk and dependency. The output is an ordered list, not a wish list, with the things to avoid stated explicitly.
You get a costed, sequenced plan and a board-ready summary. There is no obligation to build any of it with us, and the document is written so another supplier could pick it up.
We build AI systems, so it is fair to ask whether an AI assessment from us will conclude that you need AI systems. Often it does not, and that is the point of paying for the assessment separately.
Common outcomes we have delivered: your data is not in a fit state, fix that first. Your bottleneck is a hiring problem, not a tooling problem. Three of these five ideas would each cost more to build than they would save. One of them would pay for itself in four months, start there.
For Australian businesses there are specific considerations worth taking seriously: where data is processed and stored, what your privacy obligations are under the Privacy Act, what your professional or industry body says about AI-assisted work, and what you tell customers about it. We cover those in the assessment rather than leaving them for legal to discover after launch.
We also cover the staff side. An acceptable-use position on tools people are already using on their own devices is usually more urgent than any system you are considering building.
Every project is scoped individually. These tiers give you a realistic sense of investment.

From $2,500 AUD
Get a quote →An opportunity register scoring each idea on value, effort and risk; a costed roadmap sequenced over twelve months; a plain-English summary suitable for a board paper; and an explicit list of things we recommend you do not pursue yet, with reasons. It is written so another supplier could act on it.
Sometimes the roadmap includes build work, and sometimes it concludes that the priority is fixing data quality, changing a process, or doing nothing for six months. The assessment is priced and delivered as a standalone piece of work precisely so that recommendation can be honest. You are under no obligation to build with us.
Typically two to three weeks: a week of interviews and data review, a week of analysis and scoring, then a presentation session. Larger organisations with multiple business units take longer, and we scope that upfront.
It is part of the assessment. We look at what data would leave your environment, where each provider processes and stores it, what your obligations are under the Privacy Act, and what your industry body or professional indemnity position requires. Where the risk is unacceptable we recommend architectures that keep sensitive material inside your control.
It is extremely common and it is worth addressing directly rather than banning it. The governance package covers an acceptable-use position, what should never be pasted into a general-purpose tool, and which approved options staff can use instead. That is usually more urgent than any new system.
A readiness assessment starts from $3,500 AUD and is fixed price once scope is agreed. A governance package starts from $2,500 AUD and can be taken on its own. Ongoing advisory is quoted based on cadence.
