AI Assessment for Vancouver businesses.
Find where AI actually moves the needle.
A structured audit of your workflows, tools, and team. The output is a written, prioritized roadmap. Not a deck. Not a dashboard. A short document that names the smallest first move with the biggest leverage. Then the second. Then the third.

“A diagnostic before the treatment. Skip it and you’re just guessing in expensive directions.”
The basics
What an AI assessment actually is.
An AI assessment is a structured evaluation of your business operations to identify where artificial intelligence delivers real value. Not where it’s trendy. Where it pays back, in hours saved or revenue made, and where it doesn’t.
We combine stakeholder interviews, workflow mapping, and a tool audit to build a complete picture of your current state. Then we score each opportunity by impact, effort, and ROI, so you know exactly where to focus first, and what to leave alone.
Whether you’ve never used AI, or you’ve bought tools that aren’t delivering, an AI readiness assessment gives you the clarity to make smart decisions instead of expensive guesses. A diagnostic before the treatment.
Our process
How we map the work.
Five steps. The first one is free. The last one is the only deliverable that matters: a written roadmap your team will actually open on Monday.

Discovery call
30 min · free
We start with a free 30-minute call to understand your business, your goals, and where you think AI might help. The point is to scope the engagement honestly, and to tell you if it isn’t the right move yet.
- ii.
Stakeholder interviews
3–5 people · 30–45 min each
We sit beside the people doing the actual work: operators, ops leads, the person stitching reports on Friday. This is where the hidden bottlenecks live. Most assessments miss them because they only talk to leadership.
- iii.
Tool & workflow audit
Stack inventory · gap analysis
We evaluate your current tech stack, the AI tools you’ve already paid for, and the manual processes around them. What’s working. What isn’t. Where the duplicated effort lives. Where you’re paying for software you don’t use.
- iv.
Opportunity scoring
Impact × effort × ROI
Every opportunity gets scored on three axes: business impact, implementation effort, and estimated ROI. The output is an honest matrix. Quick wins separated from long bets, with a clear "do this first" recommendation.

Roadmap delivery
Written report · 1-hour walkthrough
You receive a written report with prioritized recommendations, quick wins you can act on this week, and a phased 30/60/90-day plan for the larger initiatives. We walk through it live with your team. Then it’s yours.

Who it's for
Right move if you’re here.
If you’re asking “where should we start with AI?” or “why aren’t our AI tools delivering?”, an AI assessment is the right first step.
Owners
Business owners weighing the bet
You know AI could help. You’re not sure where, or whether it’s worth the investment yet. You want a real number before you commit.
Ops
Operations leaders chasing leverage
Your team is doing repetitive work that should be automated. You don’t have the time to figure out which tool, which workflow, which first move.
Tools
Companies whose AI tools aren’t sticking
You’ve bought ChatGPT seats, maybe Copilot. Adoption is patchy. Results are hard to measure. Something’s not landing.
Investors
Teams evaluating AI investments
You’re being pitched. You want a senior, vendor-neutral perspective before you sign a 12-month contract.
Transformation
Organizations preparing to transform
Digital transformation is on the roadmap. AI is the headline. You need a sober map of where to start, and where to wait.
Founders
Founders scaling past manual
The way you got to revenue won’t get you to scale. You need to know which workflows to systemize first, and which to leave human.
Pricing
