AI & Data Readiness Assessment

Prefect for: Mid-market teams exploring AI or automation and unsure where to start.
Price:
$12.5K–$25K

You want meaningful AI results, not hype. We evaluate your systems, data, and workflows to determine how ready you are for AI that actually moves the needle. You get a clear view of high-impact use cases, the data gaps that matter, and the guardrails to keep things safe and compliant. Then we hand you an enablement roadmap that balances quick wins with durable long-term value.

What do we need from you?

  • A business lead who owns outcomes
  • Read-only access or exports for key systems and data dictionaries

  • Organizations that cannot provide any data access or SMEs

FAQs

Who is this for and when should I use it?

For teams exploring AI but unsure if their data or infrastructure is ready. Ideal before starting any AI initiative, model development, or major data investment.

What are the expected outcomes?

A clear readiness scorecard, gap analysis, and roadmap that highlights what’s required to operationalize AI — from data quality and structure to governance and integration needs.

What inputs do we need from your team?

Access to sample datasets, system architecture documentation, and key stakeholders (product, IT, and business). A short discovery session helps align on current goals and maturity.

How is this service priced? and what’s excluded?

Priced between $10K–$20K, depending on data complexity and system access. Excludes hands-on remediation or AI model development (those can be scoped afterward).

How do we measure success?

You leave with a defined AI maturity score, prioritized recommendations, and clarity on what to tackle first to confidently move forward with AI initiatives.

What happens after this engagement (handoff/next step)?

Clients often move into our Technical Roadmap Strategy or Fractional Strategy Leadership to guide implementation or modernization plans.

How do you work with my in-house team?

We collaborate directly with your technical and business leads — no heavy lift required. We translate technical findings into clear business action.

What risks or blockers typically derail this—and how we mitigate them?

Incomplete or siloed data access can slow analysis. We mitigate this through structured intake, anonymized samples, and early identification of data owners.
