AI readiness assessment for SMEs
A structured look at current work that separates credible opportunities from attractive but impractical ideas.
Who it is for
- SMEs that want to start with AI but do not know which process comes first
- Teams validating an idea before funding implementation
- Leaders seeking an independent view of opportunities and risks
Starting signals
This service becomes useful when…
- 01
Operational friction is understood, but its automation potential is not.
- 02
Several vendors are proposing solutions that are difficult to compare.
- 03
You want to assess feasibility before touching critical systems.
- 04
The data, steps and exceptions in a process are not yet well documented.
Concrete engagement
What you receive
- A focused map of tasks, actors, data and friction points
- Value, complexity and risk analysis for each opportunity
- A recommended first use case and a clear scope
- A validation plan with assumptions, dependencies and success criteria
How we work
A three-part progression.
- 01
Observe the real work
We document how the process works today, including exceptions and workarounds.
- 02
Qualify opportunities
We examine frequency, effort, data quality, risk and where human judgement remains essential.
- 03
Choose a useful proof
We define the smallest test that can produce reliable learning before a larger decision.
A healthy boundary
What the approach does not claim to do.
An assessment cannot promise a profitable project before examining your data and processes. It reduces uncertainty and turns assumptions into testable questions.
Before starting
Frequently asked questions
How many processes should be assessed?
Scope depends on your context. To keep the work useful, we usually favour a few representative processes over an exhaustive inventory.
Is this a technical audit?
It can include technical factors, but it begins with the work, expected value, available data and risk.
What if no opportunity is strong enough?
That is a valid conclusion. You will know why, which prerequisites to build and which investments are best avoided for now.
