The problem
You bought the Copilot licenses. You’ve read every “AI for business” article. Your team keeps asking what to do next. And your board keeps asking why you haven’t done more.
70% of GenAI pilots never reach production (Gartner, 2024 CIO Survey). The problem isn’t the tech. It’s that no one decided what to build, or why.
You need a prioritized, feasibility-scored list of 5–10 AI use cases with real ROI — and the answer to “which one do we build first.”
The ROI-First AI Audit delivers
- 5–10 high-ROI AI use cases scored by feasibility
- A 90-day action plan with budgets, milestones, and owners
- A board-ready readout your CFO will sign off on
- A clear recommendation for the first build
The ROI-First AI Audit — what’s inside
A structured 3-week process focused on ROI, feasibility, and time-to-value.
Discovery workshops (week 1)
Two 90-minute sessions with your leadership and team leads. We map current workflows, pain points, and existing AI spend.
Data & tooling readiness assessment (week 2)
We evaluate your data, systems, and integration layer to identify what’s AI-ready today, what needs to be fixed first, and where the quick wins are.
Use case identification & scoring (week 2)
5–10 AI use cases scored on our ROI-First framework: business impact, technical feasibility, time-to-value, and risk.
90-day roadmap (week 3)
Ranked action plan with recommended first build (and why), budget estimates per use case, team + tooling requirements, and milestones with success metrics.
Executive readout (week 3)
15-slide board-ready summary. Not 120. Built to be presented and acted on — not filed.
ROI-First scoring framework
- Business impact (cost savings, revenue, CX)
- Technical feasibility (data quality, integration complexity)
- Time-to-value (weeks to first production)
- Risk (compliance, accuracy, change management)
Who it’s for

- • Mid-market and SMB leaders ($5M–$500M revenue)
- • CXOs, CTOs, Heads of Digital/Operations

Why ConverseAI
Most pilots fail on the wrong question, not the wrong model. That’s what this audit is for.
We build what we audit.
Your audit fee is credited toward the first build — big firms can’t do that because they don’t build.
Fixed fee, fixed timeline.
Three weeks, one price. No scope creep or 12-week delays.
Engineers and operators, not junior MBAs.
Your audit is led by people who ship AI, not people who read about it.
India + US delivery economics.
From $999 — under 10% of what Deloitte or BCG quote.

FAQs
What’s an AI readiness assessment?
A structured evaluation of your business, data, tools, and team — designed to identify which AI use cases are worth building, in what order, and with what investment.
How much does an AI readiness audit cost?
Our ROI-First Audit starts at $999 for a single-function scope. Cross-functional audits are $4,999. Enterprise/multi-BU scope is custom. Compare: Deloitte, BCG, and McKinsey quote $75K–$250K for equivalent work.
How long does an AI audit take?
3 weeks from kickoff to executive readout. Longer audits rarely produce better decisions.
How is this different from a Deloitte or BCG audit?
Our audit is three weeks and a fraction of the cost. We’re engineers who ship. Their audits are 8–12 weeks of frameworks and slides. Both can have value — ours is built for companies that need to move.
Do you understand our industry?
We’ve worked across BFSI, healthcare, D2C, B2B SaaS, manufacturing, real estate, and education. If we’re not the right fit for your vertical, we’ll say so upfront.
What if we decide not to build anything after the audit?
That’s fine. You walk away with a roadmap, budget estimates, and clarity — whether you build with us or not.
Does the audit cover data readiness, not just use cases?
Yes. Data quality, integration, permissions, and governance are core to the assessment. Most pilots fail on data, not models.
What frameworks do you use?
Our ROI-First Audit framework — use-case scoring on business impact × technical feasibility × time-to-value × risk. Built from shipping 40+ AI projects. Frameworks are a starting point — your business context is the real input.
How do you handle compliance (DPDP, GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA)?
Flagged as part of the readiness assessment. We note compliance exposure per use case so your legal/InfoSec team can sign off before the build.
