## What this solves

### Building the wrong thing first

Automation candidates ranked by ROI, effort and risk — budget goes where it pays back.

### AI plans built on guesses

An AI-readiness audit grounds the roadmap in your real data, tooling and constraints.

### Processes that exist only in heads

We document how work actually flows — including the exceptions everyone forgets.

## What you get

How work really flows through your company — documented and quantified.

### AI-readiness audit

Data, tooling and risk assessed against what AI realistically delivers today.
