Find the automation work worth doing first.

AI pressure creates bad priorities.

Leaders are being told to do something with AI. Teams try tools, vendors pitch platforms, and small experiments multiply. None of that answers the business question: which workflow creates enough friction to justify a system?

The Audit starts with the work, the people, and a measurable baseline.

You leave with a decision, not a deck full of possibilities.

• A current-state map for up to three candidate workflows.
• A baseline using available time, volume, delay, error, cost, or conversion data.
• A ranked opportunity score covering impact, feasibility, risk, adoption, and time to value.
• One recommended first system with scope boundaries and human decision points.
• A 90-day roadmap with indicative cost and sequence.
• An executive readout and editable files your team owns.

Ten business days from access to decision.

• Kickoff: confirm the business goal, area of focus, and available evidence.
• Workflow interviews: speak with the people who do and manage the work.
• Opportunity analysis: map friction, value, feasibility, risk, and human judgment.
• Recommendation: present the first build, the reason, and the next 90 days.

The Audit is a fit when

• You have several ideas and need a defensible priority.
• A workflow crosses people or systems and no one sees the full picture.
• Leadership wants a return and risk view before funding a build.
• Previous AI experiments did not become reliable operations.

Clear limits keep the answer useful.

The fixed Audit is $2,500 CAD and covers one business area, up to three workflows, up to four stakeholder interviews, and one recommended system brief. It does not include production implementation, software fees, organisation-wide mapping, or formal legal and security review.

If the kickoff shows that the available process and data cannot support a useful audit, we stop before interviews and refund the unearned balance.

When several systems need one ongoing owner, consider Fractional CAO leadership instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a free automation audit?

No. It is a paid diagnostic with interviews, workflow maps, a baseline, an opportunity score, and a build recommendation your team can use whether or not Flowgrammer implements it.

Do you recommend tools during the Audit?

Only after the workflow, business rules, data, and risks are clear. Tool selection supports the system; it does not define the opportunity.

What do you need from us?

A leader who can define the goal, the people who know the work, available process material, and timely access to the information required for the baseline.

How long does the Audit take?

Ten business days from kickoff and access, ending with an executive readout and a 90-day roadmap.
