AI Alignment Check

Things should feel clearer by now.
They do not.

The Alignment Check gives you a clear, independent read on where AI genuinely fits in your business before you spend, build, or commit in the wrong direction.

Something feels off inside the business. Things that should be faster are not. Decisions that should be clearer are not. AI keeps coming up as the answer, but nobody has shown you what that means for a business like yours.

Two-week fixed-price engagement · £4,500 · Starts with a free 15-minute Clarity Call

The Alignment Check is where that changes. In two weeks, you get a clear independent read on where AI can create genuine value in your specific business, what to ignore for now, and what should happen first before anything gets committed in the wrong direction.

Who this is for

Founder-led businesses and professional service firms ready to make a clear decision.

This engagement is for founder-led businesses and professional service firms that are ready to make a clear decision before time, money, or people get committed in the wrong place.

This answers an internal question: where should AI fit inside this business before anything gets wasted? If the question is external – whether buyers are still finding and understanding you the way they used to – that is the AI visibility pathway. Some businesses need one. Some need both. If you are not sure which applies, the free Clarity Call is a good place to start.

The Clarity Call is a short diagnostic conversation. If the Alignment Check is not the right fit right now, I will point you in the right direction instead.

Why this matters

The AI Alignment Check identifies where AI can create the greatest commercial value in your business.

What to ignore for now and what should happen next before time, money, or
people are committed in the wrong direction. That is the only question this
engagement is designed to answer.

The expensive mistake is not doing nothing. It is spending on the wrong thing first.

2

The Clarity Call takes place

A short diagnostic conversation to understand where your business is with AI and whether there is a strong enough fit to go further. If there is, we discuss what the right next step looks like. If it is not the right fit, that will come up in the conversation.

3

A deeper conversation if the fit is clear

We map the opportunity properly, look at where AI can create genuine value in your business, and work out together whether the alignment check is the right next step.

4

Investment confirmed — work begins

If you decide to move forward, the investment is £4,500 for the full two-week engagement. The work begins once that is confirmed.

5

Two-week assessment

The business is assessed across the areas that matter. Where AI can create genuine commercial value. Where the risks and gaps are. What the highest-priority opportunity is. What the strategic observations tell us about next steps.

6

Report and strategy session

The written report and findings are delivered, followed by a session to review everything together and discuss what happens next. If you want support taking the next step, that conversation starts here.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI readiness assessment?

It's an honest look at how prepared your business actually is to use AI in a way that makes a real difference. I look at your workflows, your team, how you currently use AI if at all, and where the friction sits. The output is a clear picture of what AI would actually improve, what it wouldn't, and what needs to be true before any implementation makes sense.

What does the Alignment Check include?

A review of your current workflows and AI usage. An assessment of where AI can create genuine value and where the blockers are. The single highest-priority opportunity identified. A ranked view of quick wins. A clear list of what to deprioritise or leave alone. And a plain-English 90-day roadmap. There's also a session to walk through the findings together.

How do you decide what to prioritise?

By looking at effort relative to likely impact, given your team, your processes, and your appetite for change. The goal isn't to find the most impressive AI use case. It's to find the one that will actually make a difference in the next 90 days without creating more work than it solves.

We're already using AI tools. Is this still useful?

Often more so. Most businesses using AI are doing it in several different directions at once with no clear thread running through it. The assessment helps you understand what's actually working, what isn't, and what a more joined-up approach would look like.

What if the assessment finds we're not ready for AI yet?

That's a legitimate outcome. One of the most useful things I can surface is that implementation would be premature right now — and here's what would need to be true first. That clarity is worth having before spending money in the wrong direction.

What do I receive at the end?

A written report covering key findings, identified opportunities, prioritised recommendations, and a 90-day roadmap. The engagement also includes a session to go through the findings and agree what happens next.

How does it start?

With a free 15-minute Clarity Call. That's always the first step. It's an honest conversation about where things are. If I think the Alignment Check is the right fit, I'll say so. If it isn't, I'll tell you that too. No obligation on either side.

why this approach

Most businesses looking at AI are not short of opinions.

They are short of an honest, independent read on what any of it means for their specific situation.

Not a framework. Not a tool recommendation. A clear answer on where AI genuinely fits before anything gets built or bought.

What most do not have is an independent assessment of what any of it means for their specific business before a decision gets made.

Every engagement follows the same approach:
diagnose, prioritise, roadmap, and oversight. That sequence exists because the most valuable moment in any AI initiative is not when something gets built. It is when the right thing gets chosen.

The expensive mistake is not doing nothing.
It is spending on the wrong thing first.
Two weeks changes that.
