Not ready to talk yet? Take the five-minute self-service assessment
What an AI readiness assessment is.
An AI readiness assessment tells you whether your business can get real value from AI right now, and where to start if it can. Ours is a free 30-minute call with Mitchell Moses. He asks how your team spends its week and which AI tools you already pay for. Then he gives you a straight answer before the call ends.
Most readiness checks online are quizzes that score you on a scale. This one is a conversation about one real decision, so the answer fits your business. You're usually ready when one workflow eats hours every week and someone on the team owns it. You're usually early when nobody can name the work AI would take over. Both answers are useful, and we tell you which one you're hearing.
Pick your topic.
Pick the closest one. It tells you what we'll cover and what to bring.
We'll ask
- How your team spends a normal week
- Which AI tools you already pay for
- Where leadership wants AI to show up
Bring
A short list of the work that takes the most time each week.
Where this usually leads
Usually the workflow audit, so we can put real numbers on where to start.
We'll ask
- Each step of the workflow, start to finish
- How many hours it takes and who does it
- What has to stay with a person
Bring
One example of the work, like a report, an email thread or a spreadsheet you can describe.
Where this usually leads
Usually a build: we scope it, give you a fixed price, and train the people who use it.
We'll ask
- What problem the tool is meant to solve
- What you would pay and for how many people
- What you already have that might do the job
Bring
The quote, proposal or link to the tool you are weighing.
Where this usually leads
Often monthly advisory, so you have someone to check decisions like this before you buy.
We'll ask
- Which tools your team has today
- Who uses them and who doesn’t
- What a good week would look like after training
Bring
A rough headcount and the roles on the team.
Where this usually leads
Usually team workshops, built around your people’s real work.
We'll ask
- What is prompting you to look at AI now
- Where the week feels slowest
- What a win would look like in 90 days
Bring
Nothing. Just how your business works today.
Where this usually leads
We figure out the first step together. Sometimes the answer is to wait, and we say that.

Who it's for.
The free AI readiness assessment is for small and mid-size businesses deciding where AI should go first.
A good fit
- 01Owners and leaders of small and mid-size businesses who already pay for AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
- 02Teams with one workflow that eats hours every week, like weekly reporting or client intake.
- 03Anyone weighing an AI tool or vendor who wants a second opinion before paying for it.
- 04Leaders who owe their board or partners a clear answer on where AI fits.
Probably a different page
- 01You want a free build or a working demo. The call is advice, and builds start at $6,000.
- 02You need a security review or a technical audit of an AI system you already run.
How it works.
Four steps, and the first two take a minute.
- 01Pick a time. Choose a 30-minute slot in the calendar at the bottom of this page. There is nothing to fill in or upload.
- 02Pick your topic. Use the topic list above so you know what we will ask and what to bring.
- 03Talk it through. Mitchell asks how your team works today and where the hours go, then gives you a straight answer on the call.
- 04Keep the plan. You leave with your next actions in priority order. If a paid step fits, you hear the price on the call. If nothing fits, we say so.
You talk to the founder.
I'm Mitchell Moses. I spent 8 years building enterprise systems and I work on real AI builds every day. Every first call is with me, so the advice you get comes from the person who leads your work. Our team takes it from there.
A conversation, not a sales demo.
The free call is a conversation. We don't need access to your systems or files. Reviewing your real data, timing your workflows or testing integrations is the paid workflow audit, and its fee comes off your build or first month of advisory.
If you want help after.
Nothing is required after the call. When a next step fits, it is one of these, with the price up front.
- 01Workflow audit. $2,500 for one workflow, credited toward a build. We time every step and rank where AI pays off.
- 02Builds. From $6,000, fixed price, built inside the tools your team already uses.
- 03Monthly AI advisory. From $2,500 a month for a standing advisor who meets with your leadership team.
- 04Team workshops. $950, $1,500 or $2,750, built around your team's real work.
Free AI readiness assessment questions.
Is the AI readiness assessment really free?
Yes. The 30-minute call costs nothing and comes with no obligation. You keep the next actions whether we work together or not.
What does an AI readiness assessment cover?
It covers where your team's hours go each week and which of that work AI can take on safely. You also hear what should stay with a person, and which next step fits, if any.
How do I know if my business is ready for AI?
Look for one workflow that eats hours every week and has an owner on your team. If nobody can name the work AI would take over yet, you're early, and the call tells you what to do first.
How is this different from the self-service AI assessment?
The self-service assessment is a five-minute questionnaire you take on your own, and it returns an instant starting-point profile. The free AI readiness assessment is a live call with Mitchell about your real decision. Take the self-service assessment.
How is this different from the AI Value Readiness Assessment?
The free call looks at one decision in 30 minutes. The AI Value Readiness Assessment is paid, consultant-led work on 3 to 5 AI use cases, and it ends with an executive decision brief and a 90-day plan. See the AI Value Readiness Assessment.
How is it different from the $2,500 workflow audit?
The free call is a conversation and needs no access to anything. The audit is paid work where we time every step of one workflow and rank where AI pays off. The $2,500 fee is credited toward a build. See what an AI audit costs.
Do I need to share files or logins?
No. We don't need access to your systems or files. A rough idea of the hours the work takes is enough.
Who runs the call?
Mitchell Moses, our founder. He spent 8 years building enterprise systems and works on AI builds every day. OperatorZero is a Claude partner and an OpenAI select partner, and we still tell you when another tool fits better.
What if AI isn't worth it for us yet?
Then we say so on the call and tell you why. Sometimes the right next step is to wait.
Will you try to sell me something?
You hear a price only when a paid step fits your situation. Either way, the next actions are yours to keep.
