Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the audit cost?

Standard 2-week audit has fixed pricing. Larger enterprises may need custom quotes. Contact us for specifics.

What if we're not ready to implement after?

That's fine. The audit gives you a roadmap for when timing and budget align. Many clients use it for planning and stakeholder buy-in.

Do we need technical expertise?

No. We translate everything into business terms. Recommendations are practical and built for your existing team.

What industries do you work with?

Finance, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, professional services—operational AI principles apply universally.
