70% of AI initiatives fail because they’re launched on weak foundations. The AI Pre-Flight Check is Phase Zero of transformation — a structured diagnostic that gives you the clarity and confidence to invest in AI pilots built for measurable ROI.
A 20-minute call to determine if the executive briefing is right for you.
Executives are under pressure to “implement AI,” but most organizations don’t know if their systems, data, and workflows can actually support it. Without a readiness assessment, AI pilots stall, waste spend, and erode confidence. The AI Pre-Flight Check solves this by:
Before investing in pilots, we take a structured approach to evaluate your current systems and readiness across six critical dimensions:
Full inventory of platforms, tools, and integrations to identify redundancies, outdated systems, and gaps.
Review quality, accessibility, compliance, and ownership of data sources across the business.
Evaluate API openness, middleware, and real-time data capabilities to support automation.
Use our AI-Readiness Matrix to classify each platform as AI-Ready, Upgrade Needed, or Replace.
Map key operational workflows and highlight quick-win opportunities for AI.
Provide integration architecture, standardization opportunities, and a phased roadmap.

Strategy that sounds good
Accountability:
No skin in the game once decks are done
Speed to Action:
4–6 week sprint to working strategy
Who Does the Work:
Senior strategists and founders in every engagement
Output:
Actionable roadmap + prioritized AI use cases
Platform Bias:

Results:
Strategy that actually gets built
Accountability:
Embedded partner mentality—we stay until it works
Here’s what you’ll walk away with at the end of the Pre-Flight Check engagement:
A detailed platform-by-platform breakdown showing the strengths, weaknesses, and AI potential of your current systems.
A visual representation of your technology and data landscape to highlight dependencies and integration points.
A clear summary of redundancies, bottlenecks, and integration gaps that could block AI adoption.
A phased action plan outlining both short-term wins and long-term initiatives, complete with timeline and budget estimates.
An executive-level briefing for decision-makers paired with a detailed appendix for IT teams.
Best for: Executives who want to reduce AI risk, validate readiness, and build a clear foundation before committing budget to pilots or large-scale initiatives.
Fix foundations before investing: no wasted spend, no failed pilots.
