Before you spend anything building AI, find out whether your business is ready, where it would pay back, and what the first step actually costs. Fixed price, written report, no obligation to go further.

An AI readiness assessment is a structured review of whether your business can actually put AI to work, and where doing so would be worth the money.
It looks at four things: the processes costing you the most time, the data you already hold and whether it can support what you want, the systems AI would need to connect to, and what your team can realistically operate once the project is finished.
The result is a written report with a ranked list of opportunities, an honest view of what's blocking each one, and a costed first step.
It is deliberately small. One to three weeks, fixed price, and you can stop at the end and still have something worth having.
Sixteen percent of Irish SMEs say that's exactly what holds them back, and a further thirty percent say fear of getting it wrong.
Each recommended their own product. You want a view from someone selling none of them.
Something was built, it impressed people briefly, and nobody uses it now. Usually the use case was wrong rather than the technology.
Someone has to put numbers in front of the board before this gets approved.
Most businesses assume it isn't. Usually it's better than they think for some uses and worse for others, and the difference matters.
Where time actually goes in your business, which tasks repeat, and which of them AI could take on.
What data you hold, what condition it's in, and whether it can support the uses you have in mind. This is where most AI projects quietly fail.
What AI would need to connect to, including your CRM, ERP, finance systems and Microsoft 365, and how hard each connection would be.
Who would own the system after launch, what skills exist already, and what training would be needed.
What your obligations are under the EU AI Act and GDPR for the uses you're considering, and what has to be in place before anything goes live.
Every option ranked by business value, feasibility and time to return, so the priority order is clear rather than a matter of opinion.
A written report covering:

The blockers standing in the way of each opportunity, named plainly
Indicative costs and expected returns for the top options
A recommended first step with a fixed price
A governance checklist covering your EU AI Act obligations
Written for your board as much as your IT team. The report is yours whether you go further with us or not.
The assessment is written by the people who would have to deliver it, which keeps it realistic about what's achievable.
We are one of Ireland's first companies to achieve ISO 42001:2023 certification, the international standard for AI management, alongside ISO 27001:2022 for information security.
We don't resell any AI platform, so the recommendation follows your business.
350+ projects delivered, 45+ AI solutions deployed, 150+ engineers on the team.
Sometimes the honest answer is to fix the data first, or change a process instead. You keep the report either way.
Enterprise Ireland's “Access Advice: Digital Discovery” grant offers up to 80% funding to a maximum of €5,000 to hire an expert to take a first or next step in AI. An AI feasibility study of this kind is what the grant is designed for.
Eligibility is set by Enterprise Ireland, and your Development Adviser is the authority on it. We help eligible clients through the application as part of the engagement.
Figures correct as of September 2026.
A 30-minute conversation about your business, not a sales pitch. We'll tell you honestly whether an AI assessment is what you need, and what it would cost.
A structured review of whether your business can support AI and where it would pay back. It covers your processes, data, systems, team and governance obligations, and produces a ranked list of opportunities with a costed first step.
The assessment answers “are we ready, and what’s it worth?” over one to three weeks. Strategy consulting takes the longer view, producing a 12 to 18 month roadmap. Most businesses start here. See our AI strategy consulting page
A fixed fee, scoped on the first call so you know the price before committing. For eligible Irish businesses, Enterprise Ireland funding may cover up to 80% to a maximum grant of €5,000.
One to three weeks from first call to delivered report, including discovery and a half-day workshop.
No. Assessing what you have is the point. Most businesses come to us with messy spreadsheets, inboxes and PDFs, and we only recommend tidying what a specific use actually needs.
Then we say so, and explain what would need to change. You keep the report and the analysis. We’d rather tell you now than after you’ve spent the budget.
No. The report is yours to act on with us, with your own team, or with someone else.
Yes. We deliver across Ireland and the UK, mostly remote with on-site sessions where the work needs them.
