AI is only useful when it is pointed at the right problem. We look at how your team works, find the repetitive and error-prone tasks, and rank the opportunities by value, effort and risk, so you invest in what works.

## What it looks at

- **Process discovery**: Where your team spends time on manual, repetitive work such as data entry, approvals, reporting and follow-ups.
- **Opportunity scoring**: Each idea rated for business value, effort and risk, so quick wins are separated from long shots.
- **Data & tool readiness**: Whether your data, Microsoft 365 setup and existing systems are ready for tools like Copilot and Power Automate.
- **Governance & responsible use**: Privacy, security and accuracy considerations, and clear guidelines for how your team uses AI.

## What we commonly find

- **Staff are already using AI without guidance**: Team members paste customer or financial information into public AI tools, with no policy on what is safe to share.
- **Permissions are looser than anyone realises**: Copilot can surface whatever a user is able to access, so overshared files and loose permissions turn into information appearing where it shouldn't.
- **Effort goes into the wrong tasks**: Projects start with exciting ideas rather than the tasks that cost the most time, so the promised savings never show up.
- **Data is scattered and has no owner**: AI is only as good as the information behind it. Files spread across drives and inboxes, with nobody responsible, produce poor results.

## What you get

- Ranked shortlist of automation and AI opportunities
- Quick-win pilot proposal with expected benefits
- Data and security readiness findings
- Estimated time savings and return on investment
- Phased roadmap and usage guidelines for your team

## Ideal if

- Businesses curious about AI but unsure where to begin
- Teams buried in repetitive admin and manual approvals
- Organisations planning a Microsoft Copilot rollout
- Leaders who want results from AI, not experiments

## Frequently asked questions

### What is an AI and automation assessment?

It is a review of how your team works that identifies where AI and workflow automation will save the most time, ranks the opportunities by value, effort and risk, and gives you a plan to start with the best ones.

### Do we need to be using Microsoft Copilot already?

No. We assess opportunities across your tools and processes, and if Copilot is on your list, we check that your data and permissions are ready for it first.

### Is it safe to use AI with our business data?

It can be, with the right controls. We review privacy, security and accuracy risks and provide clear guidelines on what your team can and can't do with AI tools.

### Will this lead to a large project?

Not necessarily. We recommend starting with a small pilot on the highest-value opportunity, so you can see real results before deciding whether to do more.
