Companies I have worked with
The problem
40 hours.

The working week.

11 hours

repetitive tasks, email, analysis

9 hours

data copied from one tool to another

7 hours

handling the same customer requests over and over

How many of those hours are actually growing your company?

AI can give you most of those hours back. But first you need to know where they go today.

The answer

The AI Audit: bring order to the chaos of the AI revolution

Most companies start by looking for the AI tool to adopt, not from the problem to solve.

New tools, models and opportunities appear every day: the problem is not spotting the best tools, it is understanding where they can create a real advantage.

That is what the AI Audit is for: through focused interviews with you and your team, I analyse the processes of every single business area in detail to pinpoint which activities are consuming more time and budget than they should, and then identify the AI solutions that remove the bottlenecks I find.

Discovery

In-depth analysis of your current processes

Focused 45–60 minute interviews with you and your area managers, to map processes, bottlenecks and missed opportunities. It runs over 2–3 weeks, with a flexible number of interviews so it adapts fully to the complexity of your company.

Analysis & priorities

From confusion to a precise plan

For every bottleneck I find, I identify the specific AI solution that removes it, then rank each solution by business impact and by the effort required to implement it. So you get a clear view of how to proceed: only what is worth doing, when it is worth doing it, in the right order.

Deliverables

A roadmap and a concrete action plan

You get a complete analysis package on your company: the map of the opportunities identified, the recommended roadmap and an extended analysis of each solution, with the expected returns.

Frequently asked questions

What you are probably wondering

Two to three weeks, depending on the complexity of the company, with 45–90 minute interview sessions. You do not need to prepare anything: I guide you and your team with targeted questions to surface the right opportunities.

It depends on the size of the solution and its technical requirements. When the AI Audit is delivered you get precise indications of the time and cost required for each implementation.

Yes: that is by far the most common case. AI solutions start from processes, not from technology, and every solution includes training for whoever will be using it.

Nowhere — it stays with you. An NDA is signed before we start, covering the data exchanged during our work together, and every implementation follows the best practices set out by the GDPR and the AI Act.

No. The analysis is built to be actionable by anyone: your team, an external vendor, or me.
