A structured diagnostic for UK SMEs. We review your processes, tools and data, then hand over a written report on where AI and automation actually fit, what to do first, and what to leave alone. No hype, no vendor pitch. Based in Chelmsford, Essex.
A shortlist of the workflows where AI or automation will pay back fastest, ranked by effort vs return, with rough cost and timeline ranges for each.
Where your data, tooling, processes or team aren't yet ready to support AI - and the cheapest way to fix each gap before you build anything.
A pragmatic recommendation on which platforms (n8n, Zapier, Make, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) fit your stack - not a generic "best of" list.
Concrete next steps your team can take in the next quarter, scoped to deliver visible wins early without committing you to a long programme of work.
Everything in a written deliverable you can share with the rest of the team, plus a live walkthrough so you can ask questions and stress-test the recommendations.
An assessment isn’t a strategy deck.
You leave with specifics: which workflows to automate, which to leave, which tools fit, what your team needs to learn, and what you’d spend to get there. The kind of detail you can actually act on next month.
A short scoping call to confirm what we're assessing, who we'll talk to, and what success looks like. Usually under an hour.
Structured conversations with the people doing the work, plus a review of your tooling, data flows and existing automations. Typically 1–2 weeks.
We pull it together into a written report: prioritised opportunities, risks, tooling recommendations, and a 90-day action plan.
A live session to walk you through the findings, answer questions, and agree what (if anything) happens next. The report is yours either way.
An AI readiness assessment is a structured review of your business - processes, tools, data and team - to identify where AI and automation will actually pay back, where they're a distraction, and what you'd need to put in place before building anything.
The deliverable is a written report and a prioritised shortlist of next steps, not a sales pitch.
The free consultation gives you a quick view on whether automation makes sense for your business and the obvious places to start.
The readiness assessment is the deeper engagement: we interview multiple people, review actual data and tooling, and produce a written report with prioritised recommendations and risk flags. Most clients start with the free call to see if a full assessment is worth it.
UK SMEs - typically 5 to 200 staff - that know AI and automation matter but aren't sure where to start, where to invest, or what's hype.
It's especially useful before any significant tooling spend or before bringing in a vendor: the assessment tells you which problems are worth solving so you don't pay to build the wrong thing.
Typically two to three weeks of elapsed time. We run a short kickoff, then a small number of structured interviews and a tooling and data review, then produce the written report.
Your team's time commitment is usually four to six hours total across the engagement - we do the heavy lifting.
Pricing is on application and depends on the size of your team and the breadth of the review. We quote a fixed price upfront, never hourly.
The free 45-minute consultation is the right place to scope it - we'll give you a written quote off the back of that call.
No. The assessment is a standalone deliverable. Plenty of clients take the report away and either implement themselves, hand it to an internal team, or sit on it for a quarter before deciding.
We're happy to be involved in the build if you want us to be, but that's a separate decision and a separate engagement.
Book a free 45-minute call. We’ll talk through your situation and tell you honestly whether a full assessment is the right next step - no obligation either way.
