The 30-Day AI Readiness Programme: an AI audit for SMEs.
A 30-day AI audit of your business. We map how work really gets done, find where AI will save time and money and hand you a costed roadmap. Fixed price, agreed before we start.
Most AI projects fail because nobody mapped the business first.
Buying an AI tool before you understand your own processes is like fitting a new engine without lifting the bonnet. It might run. It probably will not run well.
Our programme is built on Know Your Domain, the method we have used for years to help businesses take control of their digital teams, systems and ad spend. We have rebuilt every step around AI. The audit that once took 90 days now takes 30, because AI does the heavy lifting.
You finish with a clear picture of how your business runs, where AI fits and what it is worth. Then you decide on AI implementation: what to build, with us or anyone else.
Is this right for you?
- You run an SME and your team is stretched
- You know AI could help but not where to start
- You want facts and a plan, not a sales pitch for software
- You use tools like Shopify, Google Ads, Meta, Xero or Microsoft 365
- You want to stay in control of your data and your people
Six steps. Four weeks. AI doing the heavy lifting.
Each step uses AI to gather and analyse information faster than any consultant could by hand. Our team checks every finding and turns it into decisions you can act on.
Discovery Phase
Talk to our AI assistant any time, 24/7, or ask it to call you. Our team then reviews the conversation, researches your website, ads, reviews and competitors with AI and follows up in person.
You get: A straight answer on whether AI can help and where.
Deep Dive
Your team record short walkthroughs of how they work, or answer a guided questionnaire. AI turns these into clear process maps and lists every tool and data source you use.
You get: A map of how your business really runs.
MatchFlow
AI scores every task for time, cost and repeatability, then sorts it into three groups: automate fully, AI-assisted or keep human. People stay where judgement matters.
You get: The hours a week AI could free up, role by role.
Split-Forensics
An AI-assisted audit of your ad accounts, website, SEO, AI search visibility, data, access control and software subscriptions.
You get: Wasted spend, risks and gaps, in plain English.
Precise-Ops
We turn the findings into a prioritised AI roadmap: quick wins first, then bigger builds, each with a cost and an estimated payback.
You get: A costed plan you can act on, with or without us.
Deployment Plan
We walk you through the findings and the roadmap, then agree which builds to start with. Building is a separate, fixed-price stage, so you only commit when the numbers stack up.
You get: A clear decision on what to build first.
Everything you need to make AI pay.
Six deliverables, all yours to keep, whoever builds the roadmap.
Process maps
Clear diagrams of how work really flows through your business, who does what and where it gets stuck.
Time-saving scorecard
Every task scored and grouped: automate fully, AI-assisted or keep human, with the hours each change could free.
Digital audit
Your ads, website, SEO, AI search visibility, data, access control and subscriptions, checked for waste and risk.
Costed AI roadmap
Prioritised actions with costs, timescales and estimated payback, quick wins first.
Data and access check
Who has access to what, where your data lives and what needs tightening before AI touches it.
Deployment plan
An agreed order of builds with fixed quotes, so you know exactly what happens next and what it costs.
What changes in 30 days.
The questions the original Know Your Domain programme answered still matter. AI simply answers them faster and goes further.
| Before | After 30 days |
|---|---|
| Not sure what your team spends their time on | A clear map of every key process and who owns it |
| “We should be using AI” with no idea where | A ranked list of AI opportunities with costs and payback |
| Not sure if your ads and website are working | A stat-by-stat view of what earns and what wastes |
| Knowledge and logins scattered across staff | Processes documented and access under your control |
| AI as a talking point | A costed plan with the first builds agreed |
Fixed price. Agreed before we start.
The price depends on the size of your business and the number of processes in scope. We agree it during the Discovery Phase, in writing, before any work begins. No hidden costs. After the 30 days, you choose what happens next.
Plan in hand
Take your roadmap and run with it. We stay in touch for advice when you need it.
Build and support
We build the roadmap with you at fixed prices, then keep it running on a monthly support plan with 30 days notice.
Go deeper
Larger or more complex businesses can extend the audit beyond 30 days to map more of the business.
Programme questions.
How much of my team’s time does it take?
Very little. Most people record two or three short walkthroughs of how they work, or answer a guided questionnaire. AI does the transcribing and mapping, so nobody spends days in workshops.
Do you build anything during the 30 days?
No. The programme is an audit. It gives you the facts, the roadmap and fixed quotes for AI implementation. That way you only commit to building once you have seen the numbers.
Do we have to use you to build the roadmap?
No. The roadmap is yours. Many clients ask us to build it because we already know the business, but you are free to use your own team or another supplier.
Is 30 days really enough?
For most SMEs, yes. AI speeds up the research and analysis that used to take months. Larger businesses or those wanting more processes mapped can extend the programme.
What happens after the audit?
AI implementation, in the order your roadmap sets out. Quick wins come first, so you see a return early. Each build is quoted at a fixed price before it starts and tested with your team before it goes live. Ongoing support then keeps everything working and improving.
