Overview
AI readiness is the gap between the strategy and the reality
AI readiness is the work of measuring the gap between the AI strategy and the AI reality. The output is a written gap list: the data, the infrastructure, the talent, the governance, the cost, the risk, the next 6–12 months. The gap list is the deliverable, with the priorities and the roadmap named.
We do AI readiness as a written engagement, with the data audit, the infrastructure review, the talent assessment, the governance review, the cost analysis and the risk register as the output. The gap list is the artefact the team and the board can act on, with the priorities and the trade-offs named.
This is the wrong engagement if the AI strategy has not been written yet. The right answer there is an AI strategy engagement, not a readiness one.
- Gap List — A written gap list the team and the board can act on, not a slide deck.
- Roadmap — A 6–12 month roadmap, with the priorities and the trade-offs named.
- Risk Named — The risks named and the mitigations scoped, with the contingency the AI needs.
- ROI Tied — The cost and the ROI tied to the AI strategy, not the technology hype.

Delivered for teams in your sector
When the AI strategy has been written and the team needs to know what is missing before the build starts. The assessment is the gap between the strategy and the reality, with the priorities and the roadmap named. The right answer depends on whether the strategy exists, the build has started, or the team is still exploring.
A written gap list, with the data, the infrastructure, the talent, the governance, the cost, the risk and the next 6–12 months. The gap list is the artefact the team and the board can act on, with the priorities and the trade-offs named. The gap list is not a slide deck.
A focused readiness assessment (one dimension, e.g. data readiness) is 2–3 weeks. A broader assessment (data, infrastructure, talent, governance, cost, risk) is 4–6 weeks. The timeline is set after the first call, not before, because the scope depends on the dimensions.
Yes, when the team wants us to. The gap list is the deliverable of the assessment. The closing is a separate engagement, with the gap list as the input. The two are independent — you can take the gap list elsewhere, or we can close the gaps.
