Know where you stand.
Before you spend on AI, you should know what is real and what is hype in your own organization. We assess your data, talent, infrastructure, and governance against the use cases you care about.
You get a readiness score, a prioritized list of gaps, and a concrete action plan, no vague maturity model, just what to fix and in what order.
It is fast, honest, and built to save you from expensive false starts.
Your readiness, made clear.
Scroll through it, the screens move with you.

What you get from an AI readiness assessment
Every assessment ends with the same four artifacts, delivered as working documents your team can act on the day the engagement closes, not a slide deck that ages in a shared drive.
- A readiness scorecard: data, talent, infrastructure, and governance each scored with the evidence behind the number, so the result is defensible in front of a board or an investment committee.
- A scored use-case map: every candidate use case ranked on value, feasibility, and data readiness, so you know where to start, what to defer, and what to skip entirely.
- A risk and compliance review: the privacy, security, and governance gaps that would stall a build, each mapped to the framework that applies to your industry and jurisdiction.
- A prioritized action plan: every gap turned into an ordered task with an owner and an effort estimate, sequenced so early fixes unblock the later ones.
Pricing and timeline
An AI readiness assessment is a fixed-fee engagement, typically $15,000 to $35,000 depending on the number of business units and systems in scope, and it runs one to three weeks from kickoff to final readout. The price is agreed before work starts, and the assessment is vendor-neutral: the action plan is yours to execute with us, with your internal team, or with anyone else. Most clients who proceed to a build move into AI strategy consulting or straight into custom AI development with the groundwork already done.
Readiness assessments across our markets
We run assessments remotely, with an on-the-ground readout where it helps, and we weight the compliance review to the rules that actually govern you.
Canada
For Canadian organizations the assessment covers PIPEDA, OSFI guidance, and Quebec Law 25 exposure alongside the technical review, with data residency treated as an architecture constraint from day one. Start with our AI consulting in Canada practice, or the Toronto team for GTA engagements.
United Kingdom
United States and APAC
US engagements map state privacy laws and sector rules such as HIPAA against your use cases; see our New York and San Francisco teams. For programmes spanning Singapore, India, or Japan, our AI consulting in APAC practice covers PDPA, DPDP, and APPI requirements.
