AI Readiness
Most companies cannot answer a simple question: what AI is already running inside this business, who authorised it, and what data does it touch? AI Readiness answers that in two weeks — an inventory of what exists, scored against the frameworks that govern you, so the next decision is made on evidence instead of vendor decks.
You Cannot Govern What You Have Not Counted
Shadow AI is the norm, not the exception. Copilot seats bought by one department, a vector database someone spun up for a prototype, three teams pasting client data into public chat windows. None of it is on a register, so none of it is governed — and the first time anyone builds the list is usually during an audit.
Nobody has a list. AI arrives through SaaS seats, embedded vendor features, and individual initiative — not through procurement.
Even known systems have no posture score. Which ones touch regulated data? Which make decisions about people? Nobody has ranked them.
Without a starting measurement, no later initiative can prove it improved anything. You cannot show ROI against a number you never took.
A scored inventory of every AI system in use, mapped to the frameworks that govern you — CMMC, NIST 800-53, NIST AI RMF, FCRA as applicable — plus a ranked list of what to fix first. Two weeks, fixed scope, and the artifact is yours whether or not you continue.
Six Steps · Fixed Scope
Time-boxed and fixed-price. Every step produces an artifact you keep, whether or not you continue to the next rung.
- 01Discover
Interviews plus technical inventory. Shadow AI included — especially shadow AI.
- 02Classify
Each system tagged by data sensitivity, decision impact, and regulatory reach.
- 03Score
Posture scored against the frameworks that apply to your sector, not a generic checklist.
- 04Rank
Findings ordered by exposure and effort, so the first fix is the one that matters.
- 05Baseline
The measurement every later initiative gets compared against.
- 06Brief
A readout your board can follow and your engineers can act on.
AI Governance
Readiness tells you what you have. Governance is the deep evaluation of whether it holds up.
