Know what to automate first, and what it is worth.
This is a fixed price automation audit. We map how work actually moves through your business, rank what is worth automating against what it costs to build, and give you a plan you can approve, shelve, or hand to any developer. It takes 7 to 10 days and costs $999.
The call is free and 30 minutes. The audit itself is a fixed $999 USD.
What the AI Opportunity Audit covers
Where the hours actually go
A map of how the work moves through your business today: who touches what, how often, and where it waits. Built from your systems and the people doing the work, not from what the org chart says.
A prioritised list of what to automate
Every opportunity we find, ordered by what to do first. Each one carries the effort to build it, what it would change, and how confident we are, including the ones we would advise against.
The return, with its assumptions on the page
What each change is worth, written so you can check the arithmetic. Where a figure rests on an assumption, the assumption is stated rather than buried in the total.
A build plan you can approve or hand to someone else
Scope, sequence and dependencies for the work itself. It is yours whether or not we build it. There is no lock-in and nothing in it is specific to us.
How much does an automation audit cost?
$999, fixed, agreed before we start. There is no day rate, no variable component and no charge for the discovery call that precedes it. If the audit runs long because your systems are messier than expected, that is our problem rather than yours.
We can price it this way because the process is the same every time and most of the analysis is work we have already systemized. The variable part is how messy the systems are, and we absorb that rather than passing it on.
You are not buying the build. Nothing in the audit commits you to having us do the work, and the plan is written so another developer can pick it up.
Automation audit or AI compliance audit: which one do you need?
They are different pieces of work, and the terms get used interchangeably, which causes real confusion.
An AI compliance audit usually means examining an AI system you already run: checking a model for bias, documenting how decisions are made, or proving to a regulator that your controls work. It is a governance and compliance exercise, and if that is what you need, you want a firm with assurance credentials rather than us.
An automation audit looks the other way around. It examines your business, not your AI, and asks which of the things your team does by hand could be done by software. The output is a ranked list of work worth automating, not a compliance report.
This page is the second one. If you are not sure which you need, the test is simple: if you already run AI and need to prove it behaves, that is an AI compliance audit. If you do not run much AI yet and want to know where it would pay, that is this.
How it runs
- Day 0
A call, then a fixed price
A 30-minute discovery call first, free. If an audit is not the right next step we will say so on that call rather than sell you one. If it is, the audit is a fixed $999, agreed before anything starts.
- Days 1–3
We look at how you actually operate
Access to the systems the work runs through, and time with the people doing it. This is the part the free tool cannot do: it reads what is public, and the expensive work is rarely public.
- Days 4–8
We work out what is worth automating
Not everything that can be automated should be. We size each opportunity against the effort to build it and the disruption of changing how a team works.
- Days 8–10
You get the roadmap and we walk you through it
A working session on the findings, not a document dropped in your inbox. You leave able to defend the plan to whoever signs off on it.
Free audit or paid audit?
| Free automation audit | Automation audit, $999 | |
|---|---|---|
| What it reads | Public information only, such as your site, job ads and reviews | Your actual systems, your data and time with your team |
| How long it takes | 1 to 3 minutes | 7 to 10 days |
| What you get | A readiness score and the gaps visible from outside | Ranked opportunities with build effort, expected return and the assumptions behind each one |
| Build plan | No | Yes, scoped and sequenced, yours to keep |
| Things it will miss | Anything not visible publicly, which for most businesses is most of it | Little, since we are inside the systems |
| Cost | Free, no card, no signup | $999 fixed |
If you are not sure the paid audit is worth it, run the free one first. It is deliberately honest about what it cannot see, and for a lot of businesses the public signal is enough to tell you whether there is anything here.
Whether it fits
Worth it if
You have a team spending real hours on repetitive work, systems that already hold your data, and someone who can decide to act on the findings. Most useful when you suspect where the problem is but cannot yet size it.
Not worth it if
You already know exactly what you want built: book the build instead. Or if the processes are still changing weekly, in which case an audit describes something that will not exist by the time it lands.
Not ready to commit?
The free automation audit reads what is public about your business and takes about two minutes. It will not find the work that leaves no trace online, which is most of the expensive work, but it is a real answer, and it costs nothing.
Questions
How much does the automation audit cost?
$999 USD, fixed. The 30-minute discovery call before it is free, and if an audit is not the right next step for you we will say so on that call rather than sell you one.
How long does it take?
Seven to ten days. It ends with a working session where we walk you through the roadmap, not a document dropped in your inbox.
What do you need from us?
Access to the systems the work runs through, and time with the people who do it. That is what lets us see the work that leaves no trace online, which is usually the most expensive work a business does.
Do we have to hire you to build what it finds?
No. The build plan is yours whether or not we build it. There is no lock-in and nothing in it is specific to us, so you can hand it to your own team or another developer.
What if there is not much worth automating?
Then the roadmap says so. Every opportunity is listed with the effort to build it and how confident we are, including the ones we would advise against. A short list of things worth doing is a useful answer too.
How is it different from the free automation audit?
The free audit reads what is public about your business and takes a couple of minutes. This one works from the inside, with your systems, your volumes and the people doing the work, and ends with a prioritised build plan.
Is this an audit of the AI we already use?
No. It is not a compliance or bias review of an AI system. It looks at how your business runs today, finds the work that AI and automation could take over, and works out what that would be worth.
