Start by knowing where the value is.
Identify where AI, automation, process improvement and Farsight DS can create the greatest business value, and sequence the work accordingly.
What this is for.
Most organizations approaching AI begin with a technology question and end up with a pilot that works and changes nothing. The useful question is narrower: which of our processes are expensive, repetitive, decision-heavy or error-prone enough that changing them would matter, and which of those are ready to be changed?
The assessment answers that question with evidence. We examine the processes, the systems, the data, the documents, the handoffs, the controls and the decisions, and we quantify where effort is going and what it is producing.
The output is a prioritized roadmap — sequenced by value and readiness — not a readiness score. A score tells you how you compare. A roadmap tells you what to do on Monday.
What we look at.
What actually happens.
Process discovery
Walk the processes as they are actually performed, not as they are documented — including the spreadsheets and the workarounds.
Systems and data review
What each system holds, what is reliably populated, what is exported to somewhere else, and where the same data is entered twice.
Effort quantification
Where time is actually spent on recurring knowledge work, and what that costs.
Decision mapping
The decisions that matter, who makes them, on what information, and how late that information arrives.
Opportunity scoring
Each opportunity scored on value, feasibility, readiness and risk, so sequencing is defensible.
Roadmap construction
A phased plan with dependencies, owners and expected outcomes at each step.
What you own.
Prioritized opportunity roadmap
Sequenced by value and readiness, with dependencies made explicit.
Process and systems map
How work and information actually move, including the undocumented paths.
Quantified effort baseline
What the current process costs, so improvement can be measured rather than claimed.
AI suitability assessment
Which opportunities suit AI, which suit automation, and which need the process fixed first.
Recommended first engagement
A specific, bounded starting point with a defined outcome.
Frequently asked questions.
What do we get at the end of the assessment?
A prioritized roadmap sequenced by value and readiness, a map of how work and information actually move, a quantified effort baseline, an assessment of which opportunities suit AI, and a recommended first engagement.
Is this an AI readiness score?
No. A score tells you how you compare; a roadmap tells you what to do next. The output is the roadmap.
What does the assessment look at?
Processes as they are actually performed — including the spreadsheets and workarounds — along with the systems, data, documents, handoffs, controls and decisions around them.
How do we get started?
Book a 30-minute strategy session. We map how your systems connect and identify where the first engagement would create the most value.
