AI Opportunity Audit · Fixed price · Hertfordshire & UK
Find out exactly where AI pays off — before you build anything
Most businesses know AI matters but have no honest answer on where to start, so they either freeze or buy a tool that never earns its keep. The AI Opportunity Audit fixes that. It's a fixed-price, fixed-scope piece of work where I map how your business actually runs, find the places AI genuinely pays off, and hand you a costed plan you can act on with or without me. No hype, no jargon, no obligation to build a thing.
What the audit actually is
The AI Opportunity Audit is a short, senior piece of consulting with a clear deliverable at the end. We sit down and map how your business really works — where the hours go, where money leaks, and where the same task happens over and over. Then I bring frontier-level knowledge of what today's AI can and can't do, and match the two up. You come away knowing precisely where AI will move the needle for you, and where it simply won't yet. It's the opposite of a vague "AI transformation" workshop: it's a specific answer to a specific business.
What you walk away with
You get a prioritised shortlist of AI opportunities, each scored on value against effort, so the obvious first move is obvious. You get a straight verdict on what to build, what to just buy off the shelf, and what to leave well alone. And you get a phased roadmap with indicative costs, so there are no surprises and no open chequebook. It's a written report you own outright — take it to me, take it to someone else, or sit on it. The clarity is yours either way.
Why fixed-price, and why it's the right first step
Open-ended "discovery" projects are how consultants run up a bill while you learn nothing you can use. This is deliberately the opposite: one fixed scope, one fixed price, one clear outcome. It's a small, low-risk way to find out whether AI is worth it for you and where — before anyone talks about a bigger build. If you do go on to build with me, the audit fee comes straight off the cost of the first project, so it's effectively free the moment you commit.
Who this is for
The audit fits ambitious SMEs and growing businesses who are past the hype and want a real answer. If you're an owner or a leadership team who can feel that AI is going to matter, but you want someone senior to tell you the truth about where — and hand you a plan rather than a lecture — this is built for you. If you already know exactly what you want built, you can skip straight to a build conversation. If you don't, start here.
Why me
Plenty of people will sell you an AI strategy. Very few of them could actually build it. I'm a hands-on Claude and Gemini expert and an agentic systems architect — I ship this stuff for a living, so the roadmap I hand you is grounded in what genuinely works, not what sounds good in a deck. That means no fantasy timelines, no automating the wrong thing, and no strategy that falls apart the second someone tries to build it. You get a plan from someone who lives in the tools.
Straight answers
What exactly do I get from the AI Opportunity Audit?
You get a written report you own: a prioritised, scored shortlist of where AI pays off in your business, a clear build-buy-skip verdict for each, and a phased roadmap with indicative costs and a recommended first move. It's designed to be acted on — by me, by your own team, or by anyone else. The point is total clarity on your first step, with no obligation to go further.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It's fixed-price, typically in the region of £1,500 to £3,000 depending on the size and complexity of your business, and usually turned around in one to two weeks. You know the price and the scope before we start, so there's no open-ended bill. If you go on to build with me, the fee is credited against your first project.
Do I have to build anything with you afterwards?
No. The audit is deliberately standalone — you own the report and you're free to act on it however you like, including taking it to another provider or building in-house. Most people do choose to build the first move with me, but there's zero obligation. The value is the clarity, not a hidden sales funnel.
We've already tried some AI tools that didn't stick. Is this still worth it?
Especially then. Tools usually fail to stick because they were aimed at the wrong problem, not because AI doesn't work for you. The audit's whole job is to find the places where AI genuinely pays off for your business specifically, so your next move actually lands. It's a low-risk way to get back on the right track.
Is this just for tech-savvy businesses?
Not at all. I keep everything in plain English and I do the technical thinking so you don't have to. You bring deep knowledge of your own business; I bring frontier-level knowledge of what AI can do. The whole session is designed to make the opportunity clear to a busy owner, not to a developer.
