AI Readiness Check

A four-figure check prevents a five-figure mistake.

Before you put €15,000 to €50,000 into an AI project, I spend 1–2 weeks with your real data and systems to find out whether it holds — and commit to a verdict in writing. If you build afterwards, the fee is credited in full. If the verdict is “don’t build this”, the check just saved you a multiple of its price.

100% credited: commission the build within 3 months and I deduct the full check fee from the project price. The check then effectively costs you nothing.
The deliverable

A report you can base a budget decision on

Not a slide deck: a document leadership reads and the IT team can verify.

Both outcomes are a win: a go starts the build with the fee credited; a no-go stops the project before it turns five-figure. The “Roadmap & fixed-price offer” chapter is part of the Complete package.
Why paid

Because you are buying a verdict, not a sales call

The free intro call sorts your idea — gladly and without obligation. The analysis behind it is engineering: I examine your actual data and systems and commit myself in writing. Because you pay for it, “don’t build this” is an admissible answer — and exactly that is what makes a “go” carry weight.

A good fit if …

  • You have a concrete process in mind — order intake, document review, support, reporting.
  • Your data lives in real systems: ERP, document management, email, databases.
  • You want a production system — and can take a reasoned “no” if that is the answer.

Not a fit if …

  • You are looking for a free proof of concept, or slides for the next board meeting.
  • You need a large team in-house for many months — projects that don’t fit into one engineer’s hands get a reasoned no.
  • You want AI for the press release rather than for a process.

Confidentiality: on request I sign an NDA before the kickoff. Everything else procurement and IT need is under Procurement & IT.
