The AI Readiness Assessment.
$2,500. Two weeks. The fee credits to any project we do together. You walk away with a written deliverable you keep regardless of whether you build with us.
Who it's for: SMB owners and operators who know AI matters but don't know who to trust with it.
We do takeovers. If you have a half-deployed pilot, a failed consultant engagement, or a tool stack with three overlapping AI subscriptions, the Assessment is the same starting point. We map what you have, what's salvageable, and what to retire.
What you get.
- A workflow-by-workflow ROI map for your specific business — not a generic deck
- A vendor-neutral build plan with infrastructure recommendation
- Security and compliance posture (HIPAA-ready, SOC 2-aligned, attorney-client safe where it applies)
- A written deliverable pack you keep — defensible in a board meeting
- An honest go/no-go recommendation. If the math doesn't work, we'll tell you.
What's included.
- →Kickoff workshop (2 hrs) with your owner / operator team
- →Stack + workflow audit — what tools you have, what work happens where
- →ROI modeling per workflow — labor hours, missed-call cost, error rates
- →Vendor-neutral infrastructure recommendation (hosted, self-hosted, hybrid)
- →Security/compliance posture write-up
- →Written deliverable pack — readable in an afternoon
- →Optional follow-up session to walk the team through it
How we do it.
- 01
Scope
Kickoff workshop. We learn your business, your stack, and which roles or workflows are candidates.
- 02
Audit
Two weeks of engineering work. We audit your tools, model the ROI per workflow, and pressure-test the security posture.
- 03
Deliver
Written deliverable pack plus a working session to walk you through it. Build plan with infra recommendation, or honest go/no-go.
How we use it ourselves.
Every engagement we've shipped — including the Cyberstreams multi-tenant AI platform — started with this Assessment. The build plan that came out of it was the build plan we executed. The infrastructure recommendation is the infrastructure we operate today. It's not a sales tool. It's the engineering work that makes the next phase fixed-priceable.
Questions we get.
What if AI isn't right for us?
We'll tell you. The deliverable is yours regardless. The fee was for the engineering work to find out, not for permission to sell you something.
Why pay for an assessment when others give them away?
Free assessments are slide decks designed to close you. This is two weeks of real engineering work on your business. It costs us money to do it; we charge for it; the fee credits to the project if we move forward.
What if we don't move forward?
You keep the deliverable pack — the ROI model, the build plan, the infrastructure recommendation. It is yours to take to another vendor, your in-house team, or your existing MSP.
How fast can we start?
Strategy Call first (30 min, free) to scope. If we move forward, the Assessment usually starts within 2 weeks of signed scope.
Who from your team is on it?
A named engineering lead, supported by the build team that would execute the project. Not a sales engineer who hands you off.
