AI ReadinessReadiness snapshot
Find out where you stand.
The readiness snapshot shows you the AI already in use across your business: which tools, on whose accounts and what each one can reach. It is the first step on our route, and the findings are yours to keep whatever you decide to do next.

What you get
Four findings on where AI already sits in your business, written for your leadership team to act on.
- The tools in use Including free accounts, browser extensions and personal subscriptions sitting on your company email address.
- Whose accounts they sit on Which are yours and which are personal, because that difference decides what you can put right and how quickly.
- What each one can reach What a connected account can already open, which is the part most businesses have never been shown.
- Where the gaps sit Against the obligations you already carry: client contracts, insurance conditions and whatever your assessor asks about.
What it asks of you
Five working days, some of your team's time and a fixed fee of £4,600 plus VAT.
What we need
- A short questionnaire, completed by whoever owns technology decisions.
- Engineer access, scoped and time-limited, to look at what is connected.
- A conversation to go through what we found.
What we do not need
- A budget. We do not ask for one before we understand your situation.
- A decision about AI tools. This is not a procurement exercise.
- Your whole leadership team. That comes later, in Govern, where your leadership agrees the rules, and only if you decide to go ahead.
- Anyone to have kept up with AI already. Nobody gets tested on it.
How this works
Nobody gets named as the problem
Your people found ways to get their work done with no guidance, and nothing in this exercise treats that as misconduct. The snapshot records tools and access, and there is no list of names in the output.
Your IT team stays the technical owner throughout, and nothing here implies your existing setup was wrong. Most businesses your size are in exactly this position, including ones with good IT and a written policy for everything else.
Data handling
Where the findings live
The findings stay yours and sit under the same audited controls as our ISO 27001 certification.
- Held under audited controls The findings are handled under the same third-party audited controls behind our ISO 27001 certification.
- Screened before they start Everyone who touches them is BS7858:2019 screened and DBS checked before they touch your systems or your data.
- The output is yours The written output is yours. You decide who sees it inside your business.
- Access does not persist Engineer access is scoped to what the exercise needs and does not persist afterwards.
- Track: our AI rollout It starts with Govern, where your leadership agrees the rules, the tool register gets written and sign-in comes under your company account.Next on the route →
- Or take the findings to your own team Some businesses act on them internally, and the output is written to be useful either way. There is no obligation attached to it.Start from the work →
Common questions
Before you book
Is this free?
No. It is a fixed fee of £4,600 plus VAT, because it is the first scoped piece of work in Govern and it produces a written deliverable. You know the cost before you commit to anything.
Because you pay for it, the output is yours, and we have to make it worth what you paid.
Will this make our IT team look bad?
No. Most IT teams already know AI is in use on accounts they do not manage, and the snapshot usually confirms what they suspected. What they rarely have is the time and an agreed set of rules to deal with it, which is the part we bring.
They stay the technical owner and the escalation point throughout. We add capacity and take the governance workload.
What if we find something serious?
Then you will know, which is the point, and you will know before a client, an insurer or an assessor asks. We will tell you what we found and what we would do about it first.
We do not sit on a finding to save it for a proposal.
Do we have to do anything else afterwards?
No. The snapshot stands on its own and the findings are yours. Most businesses go on into Govern, because the next step is obvious once they can see the picture. Nothing about the exercise assumes it.
How long does it take?
Five working days, for the questionnaire and the access review, ending with one conversation to go through what we found. We agree the start date in the first call, once we know your setup.
We already have Copilot or Gemini. Is this still relevant?
Yes, it often matters more once you have one. Having the tool answers the tool question, while the harder ones come next: what your people are allowed to put into it, what the connected accounts can reach, how you evidence any of that and whether anyone is measuring the value.
