Secure AI Workflow Assessment

You know AI could take work off your team. You don’t know which work is safe to hand over.

That is the honest blocker for most businesses — not the technology. Which tasks are safe, what happens to confidential documents, and whether the output can be trusted without someone checking every line.

We answer those three questions for one workflow in your business, in writing, in two weeks — whether or not you hire us to build anything.

The problem

The paperwork problem nobody has time to fix

It arrives everywhere

Email attachments, a shared drive, a folder on someone’s desktop, occasionally the post. Anything that assumes your documents are already tidily filed will not help you.

Someone re-types it

The same figures keyed into a second system, then a third. Slow, nobody’s favourite part of the job, and where the expensive mistakes happen.

Then it waits

For an approval, a missing page, a reply to a chasing email. The cost is rarely the handling time — it is the waiting, and what gets missed entirely.

“We already have Copilot.”
Those tools answer questions about documents that are already organised. They do not do intake, extraction, rule-checking, routing, or approval queues — they are a chat box, not a workflow. The useful question is what percentage of your documents are actually in the tidy system today. The answer is usually lower than people expect.

What you get

Seven documents about one workflow of your choosing

The output is worth having even if you never hire us. That is the point of it being paid.

  1. 01

    Process map

    One workflow from arrival to completion: every system it touches, every handoff, every place information is re-entered, every point where it waits.

  2. 02

    Baseline measurement

    Volume per month, hands-on time per case, cycle time, exception rate, and the cost of rework or delay. Numbers, not impressions.

  3. 03

    Data classification

    Which information is confidential, what cannot leave your approved systems, and which existing contracts or retention obligations apply.

  4. 04

    Control plan

    Exactly where AI would sit, what it could access, what it could never access, what requires a person’s approval, and how deletion works.

  5. 05

    Automation scope

    What should be automated first, and explicitly what should not be automated, and why.

  6. 06

    ROI model

    Projected time and cost recovered, with every assumption shown so you can challenge it.

  7. 07

    Implementation proposal

    Fixed scope, fixed price, timeline, and written acceptance criteria. Yours to take to anyone.

What we need from you

  • Three to four hours in total — the person who owns the process, plus two people who actually do the work.
  • Sample documents. Redacted, if you prefer.
  • A read-only look at the systems involved. No changes, no installation.

What it costs

$2,500

Fixed, for two weeks to a fixed scope.

Credited in full against implementation if you proceed within 90 days. If you don’t, you keep the documents and owe nothing further.

Fit

Who this is for — and who it isn’t

We would rather tell you early that this isn’t a fit than take the fee and find out together.

  • Twenty to two hundred and fifty people, with operations that run on paperwork.

    Smaller than that, and the maths rarely works yet.

  • A repetitive workflow built on email, PDFs, forms, or data typed in twice.

    A one-off project, or work that is different every time.

  • Documents you would not paste into a public chatbot.

    Nothing confidential involved — you may not need us.

  • Someone in the conversation who can approve spending.

    Research with no budget behind it.

Where we stop

What we will not tell you

Most of this industry sells certainty it cannot deliver. Here is what we refuse to claim, so you can hold us to it.

No accuracy percentage

Anyone quoting a figure before seeing your documents is guessing. We measure it on your paperwork, and show you where it is weakest.

Not “fully automated”

Some steps should keep a person deciding, and the assessment names which ones and why. Removing the wrong human is how automation becomes expensive.

No compliance badge

We hold no certification and will not imply one. What we will do is describe the controls precisely and state the residual risk plainly.

Next step

Start with a conversation

Thirty minutes, no charge, no slides. We ask how a document actually moves through your business and where it gets stuck.

If there is a problem worth solving, we will propose the assessment. If there isn’t, we will say so — that is a useful answer too, and it costs you half an hour.

The questions on this form are the same ones we would ask on the call. Answering them here means we arrive already understanding your situation.

A few words is enough — invoices, certificates, applications, delivery notes, whatever it is.

An estimate is fine. We are only trying to tell a small problem from a large one.

Optional.

We use what you send here to prepare for the call and nothing else. No newsletter, no list, no third parties.
