AI Readiness Audit

A 2-week, fixed-price $15,000 sprint that turns AI ambition into a delivery plan.

Audit

Practice Overview

The AI Readiness Audit is the first engagement we recommend for any mid-market firm — particularly law firms in the 50–500-attorney band — that knows AI is on its roadmap but has not yet picked the wedge. In two weeks, with a single $15,000 fixed price, our founder-led team maps your current state, identifies the three highest-ROI deployments specific to your operations, and hands you the eval framework template we use in production for our own legal-vertical engagements. You leave with vendor recommendations, ROI math you can defend in front of your partners, and a 12-month implementation roadmap. About 30–50% of audits convert into $80–250K production builds with us; the audit is designed to make that conversion (or its absence) an informed decision, not an instinct call.

Talk to a Audit lead

What we deliver

End-to-end delivery, from discovery through production hand-off — configured to your stack, team, and compliance posture.

  • Current-state map

    A documented inventory of where AI can move the needle in your firm — workflows, data sources, integrations, and the buyer/user surfaces — captured in week one and reviewed with your leadership in week two.

  • Three prioritized AI use cases with ROI math

    Your three highest-leverage deployments named, scoped, sized in implementation cost, and modeled in expected first-year ROI. The math is honest — including what we believe will not work and why.

  • Eval framework template

    The same eval discipline we use in production with our legal-vertical clients, adapted to your domain. Hallucination thresholds, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, regression test harness, and the metrics worth tracking week-over-week.

  • Vendor and stack recommendations

    Foundation model selection (Claude, GPT, Gemini), retrieval architecture, agent orchestration framework, observability stack — and an explicit rationale for each pick versus its closest alternatives.

  • 12-month implementation roadmap

    Quarter-by-quarter delivery plan with budgets, KPIs, decision gates, and the in-house vs. outsourced split that makes sense for your team. Designed to be executable by us, by your internal team, or by another partner.

What is an AI Readiness Audit, and what do you get for $15,000?

The AI Readiness Audit is a productized two-week sprint, fixed at $15,000, that translates a mid-market firm's AI ambition into a delivery plan. In two weeks, our founder-led team produces a documented current-state map of your firm, three prioritized AI use cases with first-year ROI projections, the eval framework template we use in production with our legal-vertical clients, vendor and stack recommendations with explicit rationale, and a 12-month implementation roadmap. About 30–50% of audits convert to a paid build with us; the rest leave with a usable internal roadmap. Founder-led, vendor-neutral, no decks.

One tier. One price. Two weeks.

We sell the AI Readiness Audit as a single fixed-price engagement because mid-market firms have been burned too many times by tiered-pricing strategy decks. You know what you are buying. We know what we are delivering.
