AI Opportunity Audit
AI Opportunity Audit:
a costed plan for where AI will save you time
We map how your business actually runs, check what each idea means for your customers' data, and give you a ranked list of opportunities with hours saved, build cost, running cost and payback for each. Then a 90-day plan to act on it.
Most audits take two to four weeks, from the first workshop to your report.
What you get
The AI Opportunity Audit gives you a written, costed plan: which jobs AI can take off your team, what each would cost to build and run, how quickly it pays back, and what to do first.
A costed, ranked opportunity report
Hours saved per month, build cost, running cost and payback period for each opportunity.
Quick wins you can do yourself
Using tools you already pay for, starting this week.
A data protection check
What personal data each opportunity would use, and the safeguards it needs. Practical guidance, not legal advice.
A 90-day roadmap
What to do first, second and third, so nothing stalls after the report.
How the audit works
Nine steps, from the discovery pack to 30 days of follow-up questions.
-
01
Discovery pack
A questionnaire, a list of your current software and subscriptions, and examples of the documents and emails that take up your time.
-
02
Workshops
Up to 3 hours of sessions with the owner and one or two team members. On-site in Hampshire or remote.
-
03
Workflow mapping
3 to 5 core processes mapped step by step, for example enquiry → quote → job → invoice → follow-up.
-
04
Data protection check
For each opportunity, you'll see what personal data it would use, where that data would go, the safeguards it needs, and whether you're likely to need a data protection impact assessment. Based on the ICO's published guidance. Practical guidance, not legal advice.
-
05
Opportunity report
Each opportunity with hours saved per month, build cost, running cost and payback period, ranked by impact against effort.
-
06
Quick wins
Things you can start this week, often with tools you already pay for.
-
07
90-day roadmap
What to do first, second and third.
-

45 minutes to go through the report together.
-
09
Follow-up
30 days of email questions included.
What the report looks like
Every opportunity in the report is set out the same way, so you can compare them side by side:
| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Opportunity | The job AI would take on, in plain English |
| Hours saved per month | Estimated from how the task runs in your business today |
| Build cost | One-off cost to set it up |
| Running cost | Monthly software and AI usage you would pay directly |
| Payback period | How long before the time saved covers the cost |
| Impact and effort | Where it sits in the ranking, and why |
If a task happens a few times a week, automating it usually costs more than it saves. We'll tell you that.
Prices by business size
The audit is priced by team size, because more people usually means more processes to map. No VAT charged.
1–10 staff
£995
11–20 staff
£1,750
21–50 staff
from £2,950
50+ staff or multi-site: quoted. See every price on the pricing page.
How the credit works
Half the audit fee comes off your build if the build starts within 30 days of your report.
Started with the £197 Quick Start? That fee comes off the audit if you book within 30 days.
Who the audit isn't for
If you already know exactly what you want built, and it's a small, clearly defined job, you don't need an audit. Book a free call and we can quote it directly.
If you want a first step on one problem rather than the whole business, the AI Quick Start is the better fit.
Why it matters: among UK businesses with no plans to use AI, 81% had not identified a use for it (DSIT, AI Adoption Research). Finding the uses is what the audit does.

Common questions
Questions
What does an AI Opportunity Audit cost?
The AI Opportunity Audit costs £995 for businesses with up to 10 staff, £1,750 for 11 to 20 staff, and from £2,950 for 21 to 50 staff. Larger or multi-site businesses are quoted. No VAT charged.
How does the credit work?
Half the audit fee comes off your build if the build starts within 30 days of your report. If you took the £197 Quick Start first, that fee comes off the audit when you book within 30 days.
How long does the audit take?
Most audits take two to four weeks, from the first workshop to your report. You agree the timings on your free call.
Will you tell me if AI isn't the right fit?
Yes. If AI will not make a real difference in your business right now, the report says so and explains why.
Is the data protection check legal advice?
No. It's practical guidance based on the ICO's published guidance on AI and data protection: what data each opportunity would use, where it would go and what safeguards it needs. For legal questions, speak to a solicitor.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, for Hampshire businesses. We are based in Southampton. Businesses elsewhere in the UK get the same audit remotely.
I booked the old £197 audit. Does anything change?
No. Anything you booked under the old terms keeps the credit you were promised.
