Who is AI Readiness Assessment for?

AI Readiness Assessment is a good fit for before a large AI or digital investment, after a failed or stalled AI pilot, due diligence for investors and funders and public-sector digital transformation. We work with SMEs, startups, enterprises, NGOs and public-sector teams.

What results can we expect from AI Readiness Assessment?

Typical outcomes are a readiness score across 5 pillars, top gaps ranked by risk and cost and quick wins you can start this month. We agree measurable success metrics before any build starts and report on them weekly.

How much does AI Readiness Assessment cost?

Strategy sprint from KES 60,000 (≈ $465). Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute consultation, after which we send a fixed quote in Kenya shillings (or USD if you prefer). You can pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card, in instalments if that suits your cash flow, and we offer startup and NGO rates.

How long does AI Readiness Assessment take?

Strategy sprint: 2–4 weeks. We share progress in weekly demos, so you see working results early rather than waiting for a big reveal at the end.

What technology do you use for AI Readiness Assessment?

We commonly use Maturity model, Data profiling, Stakeholder interviews and Scorecards. We choose tools that fit your existing systems, budget and data-protection needs rather than forcing one stack.

Is the free consultation the same thing?

The free consultation is a 30-minute call that spots quick wins. The full readiness assessment is a deeper paid review with a written scorecard.

Will you need access to our systems?

Read-only access helps, but we can also work from interviews and sample exports.
