DIAGNOSTIC · 2 WEEKS · FIXED FEE
Find out exactly where AI fits before you spend a euro on building.
A senior engineer reviews your team's workflows, identifies the highest-ROI automation candidates, and gives you a written roadmap. Two weeks. One flat fee. No surprises.
WHAT IT IS
A diagnostic, not a discovery process.
Traditional consulting "discovery" is a multi-week process of workshops, stakeholder interviews, and steering committee reviews that produces a slide deck. The deck recommends further discovery. Nothing ships. The bill arrives before the work begins.
The AI Workflow Audit is different. It's structured around a concrete deliverable: focused interviews, documented workflow mapping, and a written report delivered in 14 days. Every hour of engagement time is pointed at producing something useful, not billable conversation.
The output is concrete: a prioritized list of automation candidates with effort estimates (S/M/L), expected ROI ranges, dependency notes, and high-level architecture sketches for the top two or three candidates. Something your team can act on immediately — whether that's internal implementation or a follow-on Sprint with us.
WHO IT'S FOR
Teams that want a plan before they commit budget.
Right fit if…
- You know AI should help but aren't sure where to start
- Your team has tried ChatGPT but nothing has shipped
- You want a senior outside opinion before committing to a build
- You're tired of consultancy decks that don't become code
Probably not a fit if…
- You already know exactly what to build (skip to Automation Sprint)
- You need someone to do the work for you ongoing (we hand off, we don't operate)
- You're looking for the cheapest possible option (this is premium boutique work)
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Six concrete deliverables.
Stakeholder interviews
4–6 focused 45-minute calls with operators, leads, and decision-makers across the teams that do the most repetitive work.
Workflow mapping
Documented current-state diagrams of your top 5 workflows — inputs, outputs, steps, decision points, and where time actually goes.
Automation candidate list
Prioritized by ROI, with effort estimates (S/M/L), expected time saved per week, and dependency notes for each candidate.
Architecture sketches
High-level system diagrams for the top 2–3 automation candidates — data flow, integration points, LLM usage, and operational approach.
Risk and governance notes
Data handling requirements, security considerations, vendor dependencies, and compliance flags relevant to each automation candidate.
Written report
A 15–25 page PDF covering findings, recommendations, and roadmap — written for both technical and business readers, not just the engineering team.
PROCESS
Two weeks, end to end.
Days 1–2
Kickoff & scope confirmation
Align on team access, workflow priorities, interview schedule.
Days 3–7
Interviews & workflow mapping
Structured interviews across teams, live workflow observation where possible.
Days 8–11
Analysis & candidate prioritization
Score each candidate by ROI, effort, and feasibility. Draft architecture sketches.
Days 12–14
Report writing & walkthrough call
Final written report, delivered ahead of a live walkthrough session with your team.
OUTCOME
You leave with a roadmap your CFO can read.
Most teams who complete the Audit fall into one of three groups. Some take the prioritized list and implement the top candidates internally — they have the engineering capacity, they just needed the map. They're usually up and running on the first automation within 60 days.
Others hire us to run an Automation Sprint on the highest-ROI candidate. This is the most common path — the Audit identifies the target, the Sprint builds it. Two engagements, one clear through-line from diagnosis to production.
All of them stop guessing. The report replaces the internal debate about "where do we even start with AI" with a concrete answer backed by evidence from their own workflows.
FAQ
Common questions.
What does it cost?
Flat fee, scoped per engagement. We'll quote it on the discovery call. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
What size of team is this for?
Best fit is 20–500 person companies. Smaller and the ROI on the audit alone may not justify it. Larger and you may need a deeper engagement.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, before any conversation involving your data or workflows.
What if you don't find anything worth automating?
Then we tell you. We've never had this happen, but if your workflows genuinely don't have automation candidates, we'll say so in the report.
Can you do this remotely?
Yes. Most engagements are fully remote. On-site possible in the DACH region for an additional fee.
What languages?
English, Spanish and Italian. German via written report; verbal interviews in English.
