AI penetration
Where AI is actually being used across the business today — sanctioned, shadow, and forgotten. Function by function, team by team.

The AI Opportunity
Diagnostic.
Not sure where to start? Start with the map. A standalone assessment of AI penetration, fluency gaps, shadow-AI exposure, EU AI Act obligations and your highest-ROI opportunities — delivered as a scorecard, not a slide deck. $499–$999.
What we map
Four lenses
Fluency gaps
The delta between claimed and actual AI capability, benchmarked against a four-dimension rubric (mindset, strategy, building, accountability).
Opportunities, ranked by ROI
The workflows worth changing first, sized by hours saved, revenue touched and effort to build — so the next investment isn't a guess.
Shadow AI & EU AI Act exposure
Unsanctioned tools and uncontrolled data flows, plus which use-cases fall inside the Act's risk tiers and what obligations follow.

Mindset
How the org talks and thinks about AI — from executive to analyst.
0 · 1 · 2 · 3 · 4
Strategy
How AI ambition connects to real business objectives and ROI.
0 · 1 · 2 · 3 · 4
Building
Fluency, tooling and the pace at which teams ship AI-enabled work.

Accountability
Ownership, guardrails and whether anyone is measuring adoption.

Each dimension is scored per function, then rolled up. The score is a starting line, not a grade.
Deliverables
- A written diagnostic report tailored to your org.
- A scorecard by function with prioritised gaps.
- A ranked backlog of use-cases with rough ROI shape.
- A shadow-AI map with keep/sanction/retire calls.
- An EU AI Act obligations snapshot for your footprint.
- A 60-minute readout for leadership + Q&A.
Why it isn't free
$499–$999, priced by size and depth
A free audit is a sales call in costume. We charge because the work is real — and because the fee filters for buyers who are serious about their own adoption.
- →It buys real hours: interviews, tool inventory, workflow review and a written report — not a template with your logo on it.
- →It keeps us honest: we're paid to tell you the truth, including "you don't need a programme yet".
- →It keeps you invested: teams that pay for the map actually read it and act on it.
- →The price scales with the size and depth of the org — from a single function at $499 to a multi-function review at $999.
- →The full fee is credited against any engagement booked within 30 days of the readout.

Credited if you continue
- Leadership stops debating whether to invest and starts debating which workflow goes first.
- Shadow AI becomes visible — and gets a keep, sanction or retire decision against each tool.
- A single owner is nominated for AI before any programme starts.
- The next engagement is scoped from evidence, so you buy the right size the first time.
After the map
Most orgs go straight into a Sprint on the highest-ROI workflow we found.

A diagnostic is the fastest way to know what programme you actually need — and what it should cost.
