What is an “AI Readiness Assessment,” and why start there?
An AI readiness assessment is an audit of your data quality, workflows, skills, and compliance gaps; the result is a prioritized roadmap so you invest in the right pilots first.
How long does it take to launch a first AI pilot?
The AI pilot timeline for most clients move from assessment to a working, measurable pilot in 30–60 days, depending on data cleanliness and software integrations. For simpler use of AI as an assistant for email writing and creating copy, it might be just a day or two.
Will AI replace my employees?
No -- our approach turns AI into a time-saving assistant, freeing staff for higher-value tasks rather than cutting headcount.
What AI platforms or models do you use?
We stay tool-agnostic, selecting best-fit cloud APIs (OpenAI, Microsoft, open-source models) or on-prem solutions that meet your security, budget, and compliance needs.
What kind of ROI can we expect?
When properly scoped, designed, deployed and adopted, typical early wins of AI ROI include 20–40 % time savings on repetitive tasks and measurable error-rate reductions; your assessment models specific financial impact before any build.
