Fixed fee · Fixed scope · 2-3 weeks

Find out where AI pays in your business. Before you spend an implementation budget.

The AI Operations Audit: our AI agents interview your teams, map how work actually happens, rank every bottleneck by what it costs you, and route each one honestly to AI or to ordinary software. You get an evidence-backed build plan, not a strategy deck.

Who this is for

You know something is broken. You don't yet know exactly where, or whether AI is the fix.

Three signals we see before every audit:

  • Your team burns hours on manual coordination that everyone complains about and nobody has mapped.
  • You have run, or watched a peer run, an AI pilot that produced a demo and no revenue.
  • You are about to hire your way out of a process problem, and you suspect there's a faster answer.

If your board or leadership is asking “what's our AI plan,” the audit is the document that answers with evidence instead of opinion.

The method

The method. Four steps, 2-3 weeks.

  1. 01

    Interview and listen

    AI agents interview your teams. Not a sample of stakeholders. The people who run the work, at every level. Every repeated task, every workaround, every decision made from memory instead of data.

  2. 02

    Rank the bottlenecks

    Everything we hear becomes one ranked inventory of operational bottlenecks, ordered by what each costs you in hours, dollars, and customer experience.

  3. 03

    Triage: AI, or not AI

    Every item gets an explicit determination: genuine AI use case, or better served by software and traditional automation. This is the step most AI vendors skip, because the honest answer is often "this doesn't need AI." We consider it the most valuable page of the audit.

  4. 04

    Recommend and sequence

    Concrete recommendations, sequenced into sprints. Working results early, priorities re-ranked as we learn your operation. A build plan your leadership can act on the week it lands.

The deliverable.

  • A ranked inventory of your bottlenecks, in your team's own words.
  • An explicit AI-versus-software call on every item.
  • The three places AI creates the most leverage in your operation, with the evidence behind each.
  • A sprint-sequenced implementation plan with ROI logic per workflow.
  • Executive-ready: built for the board conversation, not the IT drawer.

Timeline: 2-3 weeks from kickoff.

The fee

Fixed fee, confirmed on the scoping call.

Why we charge for it. And why that's good for you.

A paid audit changes what you get. Your executives attend, your team sits for real interviews, and the findings carry weight when budget decisions follow. It also keeps us honest: our revenue does not depend on routing every problem to AI, so we don't. One audit told a courier client that its highest-value first build wasn't AI at all. We said so, and built the software it actually needed first.

And it protects your downside. Whatever you decide after the audit, you own the map: the ranked bottleneck inventory and the build plan are yours, usable with us or without us.

Detailed case studies of the audit-to-implementation arc are shared in the scoping call under NDA.

From audit to production.

The audit's findings become the implementation proposal. You approve a continuation backed by evidence from your own operation, not a pitch from a vendor you just met. Implementation follows the same fixed-fee model:

If the AI doesn't deliver measurable ROI, you don't pay. Fixed-fee engagements. No hourly billing.

Questions we get before the scoping call.

What is an AI Operations Audit?

A fixed-fee, fixed-scope assessment delivered in 2-3 weeks. AI agents interview your teams, map how work actually happens, rank every bottleneck by what it costs you, and route each one honestly to AI or to ordinary software. The deliverable is a ranked inventory of your bottlenecks in your team's own words, an explicit AI-versus-software call on every item, and a sprint-sequenced implementation plan. It is an evidence-backed build plan, not a strategy deck.

Do we have to continue to implementation?

No. The audit is a standalone engagement with a standalone deliverable. Most clients continue because the plan is theirs and the evidence is specific, but the audit is complete on its own.

What access do you need?

Interview access to the teams in scope and a view of the systems they use. We work around your calendar; the agent-led interview model is what makes 2-3 weeks possible.

Will you just tell us to buy AI?

Read the triage step again. Routing problems away from AI is the part of the method our clients quote back to us.

What if we already ran a failed pilot?

Then you're the exact profile the audit was built for. The audit finds what the pilot skipped: where the work actually happens.

Is our information protected?

Every audit runs under mutual NDA. Your data stays in your systems; interviews and findings are confidential to your leadership.

Who does the work?

Senior operators and AI practitioners.

Start with a 30-minute scoping call.

We confirm the teams to interview, the systems in play, and the start date. Most audits begin within two weeks. If the audit isn't the right move for you, we'll say so on the call.
