Know exactly where AI will move the needle, before you commit to a build.
The AI Readiness Audit is a structured 5-day assessment of your business processes and data. You walk away with a prioritised AI roadmap you can act on, whether that's with us or anyone else.
60-70% of audit clients go on to a bigger engagement, because we've already found the problems worth solving.
What you walk away with
- A prioritised list of the top 3 AI opportunities in your business
- An impact-vs-effort scorecard for every idea we surface
- A recommended approach for each, with rough cost ranges
- A written report you can share with co-founders, a board, or investors
- A 30-minute debrief call to walk through everything
What's Included
Five deliverables, one clear roadmap
Every audit produces the same structured output. No bespoke proposals, no surprise add-ons.
90-minute discovery session
We map your core business processes, current tools, and where you think AI might help. You talk, we listen and ask the specific questions that surface the real opportunities.
Async questionnaire
A structured questionnaire that goes deeper on your data, your team's current AI usage, and the 3-5 workflows we'll focus the audit on. Fills the gaps we didn't reach in the call.
Opportunity scorecard
Every opportunity we find gets plotted on an impact-vs-effort matrix. You see at a glance which ideas are quick wins, which are strategic, and which aren't worth doing.
Written roadmap report
Top 3 AI opportunities with a recommended approach for each, the technology choice, a rough cost range, and the order to tackle them in. A document you can take to a board meeting.
30-minute debrief call
We walk through the report together, answer questions, and discuss what comes next. You leave the debrief knowing exactly what to do on Monday morning.

Is This For You?
The audit fits some situations, not others
We'd rather tell you upfront than waste your time. Here's when the audit works, and when it doesn't.
The audit is a good fit if:
- Founders who know AI could help but aren't sure where to start
- Teams that have tried AI tooling ad-hoc but haven't seen ROI
- Companies evaluating a bigger AI build and want to de-risk the decision first
- Leadership that needs a clear roadmap to present internally before approving spend
Skip the audit if:
- ·You already know exactly what you want to build and just need an engineer
- ·You need the AI system built, not scoped (start with AI MVP Build instead)
- ·You're looking for a general strategy deck, not a specific, actionable roadmap
Built on 25+ production AI systems and an MSc thesis on AI adoption
The audit framework comes from two places: our MSc research at Leeds Beckett University on how organisations actually adopt AI, and 25+ production builds across sports analytics, education, maritime procurement, enterprise research, sales operations, and event technology. We've seen where AI works, where it fails, and why, so the audit surfaces the opportunities that are realistic for your stage and your data.

FAQ
Common questions
Who runs the audit?
Clinton Onyekwere runs every audit personally. MSc Management (AI adoption thesis), Full Stack Developer (Northcoders), Cloud and Cybersecurity (University Academy 92). You're not handed to a junior consultant.
What if we already know what we want to build?
Then the audit probably isn't what you need. Book a discovery call and we'll scope the build directly, or look at the AI MVP Build offer.
Can the audit credit towards a build?
Yes. If you proceed to a paid engagement with us within 30 days of the audit, we credit the audit fee against the build. About 60-70% of audit clients go this route.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes. We routinely sign mutual NDAs before the discovery session. Just mention it on the booking and we'll send one across.
Do you work remote or in person?
Both. Remote is the default (Zoom). In-person in Leeds, Manchester, London, or anywhere within a reasonable rail trip is available on request.
Book the audit, get a roadmap by the end of the week.
From £1,495. Five working days. One clear, prioritised AI roadmap you can act on.
We take on 2-3 new clients per month. Audits are scoped separately and don't count against that capacity.
