AI Readiness Audit
A 2-week, fixed-price $15,000 sprint that turns AI ambition into a delivery plan.
Practice Overview
The AI Readiness Audit is the first engagement we recommend for any mid-market firm — particularly law firms in the 50 to 500-attorney band — that knows AI is on its roadmap but has not yet picked a starting point. In two weeks, for a fixed $15,000, our team maps your current state, identifies the three highest-ROI deployments specific to your operations, and hands you the evaluation framework template we use in production for our legal clients. You leave with vendor recommendations, ROI math you can defend in front of your partners, and a 12-month implementation roadmap. About 30 to 50% of audits convert into $80–250K production builds with us. The audit is designed to make that conversion (or its absence) a defensible decision rather than a gut call.

Talk to a Audit leadWhat 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 earn its keep in your firm: workflows, data sources, integrations, and the screens your buyers and users actually touch. Captured in week one and reviewed with your leadership in week two.
Three prioritized AI use cases with ROI math
Your three highest-impact 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.
Evaluation framework template
The same evaluation rigor we use in production with our legal 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.

Every engagement is led by senior practitioners and sequenced for measurable value in the first 90 days, with the handoff rigor that keeps momentum after we leave.
Outcomes

What you walk away with
A fixed-price two-week engagement, $15,000, that maps your three highest-ROI AI deployments with ROI math, an evaluation framework template, vendor recommendations, and a 12-month roadmap. About 30–50% of audits convert to $80–250K implementations.
- 01A defensible answer to "where do we start with AI" in 2 weeks instead of 6 months
- 02Three prioritized AI deployments with ROI math you can present to partners
- 03Evaluation framework template ready to use on day one of any implementation
- 04About 30 to 50% of audits convert to $80–250K production builds; the rest leave with a usable internal roadmap
What's in the audit
The AI Readiness Audit is a fixed-scope two-week engagement, $15,000, that turns a mid-market firm's AI ambition into a delivery plan. In two weeks, our team produces a documented current-state map of your firm, three prioritized AI use cases with first-year ROI projections, the evaluation framework template we use in production with our legal clients, vendor and stack recommendations with explicit rationale, and a 12-month implementation roadmap. About 30 to 50% of audits convert to a paid build with us; the rest leave with a usable internal roadmap. Vendor-neutral. No deck.
Pricing
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.
