AI Consultancy Pricing
AI Readiness & Adoption Pricing
Practical support for adopting AI safely, sensibly and with a clear business purpose.
AI adoption should begin with the needs of the organisation rather than with a particular product.
Our reviews help business owners understand where AI may provide genuine value, what risks need managing and what policies, safeguards and staff guidance should be in place.
Choose a focused initial Snapshot or a more detailed review covering opportunities, data, security, governance and safe adoption.

What we examine
Areas the review may cover
The areas examined depend on the package you choose. The Snapshot focuses on headline opportunities and risks; the fuller reviews go considerably deeper into governance, policy and staff readiness.

Prioritised next steps
Two related but separate services
The AI Readiness & Adoption Review examines how your organisation plans to use AI, the opportunities available and the governance, data and staff safeguards required.
Where a detailed technical investigation of Microsoft 365 licences, permissions, sharing or security configuration is required, we may recommend a separate Microsoft 365 Security & Cost Review.
This AI review does not include a full Microsoft 365 technical audit.
What you receive
Clear priorities for safe and useful AI adoption
The findings are intended for business owners and managers rather than only for technical specialists. Important findings are prioritised so you understand what should happen first.
