AI Readiness Audit · 2 weeks · fixed-fee
In two weeks, you’ll know.
Which AI initiatives will pay back. Which will fail. Which qualify for the 43.5% R&D Tax Incentive offset. Where your governance posture lands against the AU Guidance for AI Adoption. And what your team needs to actually run any of it. Senior practitioners. Fixed fee. Four named deliverables.
What you walk away with
Four deliverables. In your inbox.
Named, scoped, written. Not a slide pack. Not a recommendation to "explore further". Documents your CFO and your board can read on a plane.
Data & systems readiness scorecard
A senior-reviewed assessment of the data, pipelines and systems behind your top three AI ambitions. Traffic-lighted, with explicit fixes.
Prioritised use-case shortlist
Three to five use cases ranked by ROI, time-to-value, governance complexity and R&D-Tax-Incentive eligibility.
Governance gap vs GfAA
Where your current state lands against the AU Guidance for AI Adoption's six-practice framework — with a concrete remediation plan.
R&D Tax Incentive memo
A plain-English memo on which proposed AI work is likely to qualify for the 43.5% refundable offset, and how to scope future work to maximise it.
The two weeks
What the two weeks look like.
Roughly 8 hours of your team's time, spread across two weeks. We commit to the dates, we hit them.
WEEK 01
Days 1–3
Discovery & systems review
60–90 min interviews with your COO, CFO, IT, and 3–5 functional leaders. Light-touch system review. Data-readiness snapshot.
WEEK 01
Day 5
Use-case workshop
Half-day working session: long-list every AI ambition, score against ROI / readiness / governance, narrow to a prioritised shortlist.
WEEK 02
Days 6–9
Synthesis & R&DTI scoping
Senior synthesis of findings. R&D Tax Incentive eligibility review. Governance gap analysis. Roadmap draft.
WEEK 02
Day 10
Readout & Q&A
90-minute readout to your leadership team. Deliverables in your inbox the same day. One round of follow-up Q&A included.
Fit
Who the Audit is for. And who it isn't.
A good fit if you…
- Are an Australian mid-market business, with leadership that needs to make a real decision on AI in the next 90 days.
- Have already spent money on AI (Copilot, pilots, vendors) but can't yet point at the ROI.
- Want a senior partner — not a $300K Big-4 deck, not a junior with n8n.
A poor fit if you…
- Want a free workshop and a deck. We don't do free pitches that masquerade as advice.
- Want the cheapest possible quote. We're senior. The cheapest option is rarely the right one for mid-market AI.
- Need the work delivered offshore at scale. We staff senior, in Australia, by design.
The obvious questions
Before you book the call.
What does it cost?
Fixed-fee. We share the figure on the discovery call once we understand the scope of your environment. No hourly billing for the Audit.
How is this different from a free Big-4 workshop?
We don't run free workshops. The Audit is a paid, senior-led engagement with named deliverables — a scorecard, a shortlist, a governance gap, an R&DTI memo. The Big-4 workshop is a sales pitch with a deck; ours is a piece of work you can act on whether you hire us next or not.
Do you sell us into a bigger project after?
We'd be honoured if you choose us for the Pilot. We don't condition the Audit on it. The Audit stands on its own and is genuinely useful even if you take the work elsewhere — that's the point of training-led delivery.
How fast can we start?
Discovery call within 5 business days of you booking. Audit kicks off the week after. The two-week timeline runs from kickoff. We commit to dates, we hit them.
