Everyone's telling you to adopt AI. Nobody's telling you what can go wrong.

Mid-market companies with 50–500 employees face enormous pressure to integrate AI. But without governance, risk frameworks, or clarity, they're gambling with their operations, reputation, and compliance.

Data quality is unknown. You can't build AI on data you don't understand. Most companies don't know what state their data is in.
Security and compliance gaps. HIPAA, SOX, industry regulations—deploying AI without guardrails is a liability event waiting to happen.
No way to prioritize. Dozens of AI use cases, no framework for deciding which ones are worth the investment and which will burn cash.
Vendor overwhelm. Every vendor promises transformation. Without an independent assessment, you're buying their pitch, not what your company actually needs.

AI Readiness & Risk Assessment

A 4-week, fixed-scope engagement that gives your leadership team the clarity and confidence to make informed AI decisions. No jargon. No open-ended retainers. Five concrete deliverables.

Deliverables 5
DELIVERABLE 01

AI Risk Scorecard

Graded assessment across five risk dimensions: data quality, security posture, regulatory exposure, workforce readiness, and vendor dependency. Your leadership team sees exactly where you stand.

DELIVERABLE 02

Use Case Prioritization Matrix

Your top 5–10 AI use cases mapped against feasibility, estimated ROI, and risk level. Stop guessing which projects to fund. Start with the ones that will actually move the needle.

DELIVERABLE 03

Governance Framework Blueprint

Data handling policies, model oversight protocols, bias monitoring procedures, and incident response plans—tailored to your industry. Not a generic template. A blueprint built for how your company operates.

DELIVERABLE 04

Implementation Roadmap

A phased plan across 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months. Includes technology recommendations, resource requirements, and budget ranges your CFO can actually work with.

DELIVERABLE 05

Executive Brief

A 2-page C-suite summary that distills the entire engagement into clear findings, recommendations, and next steps. Designed for your board room, not your IT department.

Built for mid-market companies who can't afford to get AI wrong.

We work with companies in the Southeast US that have 50–500 employees and are evaluating AI adoption but need confidence before committing budget.

Manufacturing

Predictive maintenance, quality control automation, supply chain optimization—high stakes where AI failures cost real money on the floor.

Healthcare

Patient data sensitivity, HIPAA compliance, clinical decision support. AI governance isn't optional in healthcare—it's a regulatory requirement.

Financial Services

Fraud detection, risk modeling, customer analytics. Regulators are watching. Your AI deployment needs to be auditable from day one.

You're a good fit if:

  • You have 50–500 employees
  • You're evaluating AI but haven't committed yet
  • Your board or investors are asking about AI strategy
  • You've been pitched by AI vendors and need independent advice
  • You're in a regulated industry
  • You need something concrete to present to your leadership team

We start where others skip.

  • Risk-first, not hype-first

    We don't sell AI implementation. We help you understand what could go wrong before you spend a dollar on tools or vendors.

  • Fixed scope, clear deliverables

    4 weeks. 5 deliverables. One price. No open-ended retainers, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.

  • Transparent pricing

    $25K–$75K depending on company size and complexity. Published on our website because we don't believe in hiding the number.

  • Mid-market focused

    Enterprise consultants charge enterprise prices. We serve the 50–500 employee segment that gets overlooked by the big firms.
