Build on solid ground.
A fast, honest audit of your data, systems, security and people, so you know what you can do now, what to fix first and what to leave alone.
AI projects rarely fail because the model was not smart enough. They fail because the data was scattered, the systems could not connect, nobody had decided what could go to which provider, or the team had no time to learn the new way of working.
A readiness check finds those problems before you pay for them. You get a plain scorecard and a sequenced list of fixes, plus a green-light list of things you can start on immediately.
What we look at, and what the research says
Data
Where it lives, how clean it is, how duplicated, who can access it. Data quality shows up near the top of the barriers leaders cite in industry surveys.
Systems
Which of your tools have APIs or exports, and what would break if something was connected.
Security and privacy
What information may go to which AI provider, how personal or health data is handled, and what the vendor terms actually say.
Governance
Who approves what, what gets logged, and what your team may and may not paste into a chat window. Deloitte found only 21 percent of enterprises report mature governance for agentic AI.
People
Skills, champions and time. Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index found organizational factors drive two thirds of reported AI impact.
What you get
- A scorecard across data, systems, security, governance and people
- A prioritized gap list, each item with an owner and a rough effort
- A green-light list of AI uses that are safe to start now
- A short acceptable-use policy your team can actually follow
- Vendor and provider notes on data handling and terms
- A recommended order of operations for the next 90 days
A typical engagement
- InventoryWhat data, tools and accounts exist and where.
- TestSample data quality and check how systems can connect.
- Assess riskPrivacy, security and compliance questions answered plainly.
- ReportA scorecard, a fix list and a green-light list you can use immediately.
A good fit if
- You are about to invest in AI and want to avoid surprises
- You handle sensitive customer, financial or health data
- A previous AI attempt stalled and no one knows why
Probably not a fit if
- You have already done a thorough audit recently
- You want certification or a formal legal opinion, which we are not
Common questions
Is this a security audit?
It is a practical review of AI-related security and privacy, not a penetration test or a formal certification. If you need one of those, we will say so and point you to the right specialists.
Do we need to fix everything first?
No. The green-light list exists so you can start with the safe, useful things while the harder fixes happen in parallel.
Can this lead into a build?
It can, and often does, because you leave with a clear order of work. There is no obligation to continue with us.
