# NocodeAssistant — AI Readiness Audit **URL:** https://www.nocodeassistant.agency/ai-audit/ **Rating:** 4.9/5 on G2 (9 reviews) NocodeAssistant is a specialist AI automation agency for SMBs. The AI Readiness Audit maps your operations, ranks the AI tools that actually apply, and tells you what to build, in a plain-language report delivered in 5 business days. $999, credited in full toward any build, refunded if we don't find automation worth more than the fee. **Not a compliance audit.** This isn't a compliance or model-governance audit, the kind that checks an AI system already in production for bias or regulatory risk. It's simpler: we look at your operations and tell you which automations are worth building, and which aren't. ## What is the AI Readiness Audit? A paid, structured audit of your business operations: a 90-minute discovery call followed by 5 days of analysis, ending in a written report and a 30-minute walkthrough. It tells you exactly which AI tools fit your operations, what they cost, what to build first, and what to skip. ## What you get - 90-minute discovery call to map your operations - Every process worth automating, ranked by payoff - Build-vs-buy, cost, and timeline for your top 3 - A written report to share with leadership - 30-minute walkthrough of every finding - Refund if nothing's worth more than the fee ## How much does an AI audit cost? Enterprise consultancies charge $10,000 and up for an open-ended engagement with no fixed end date. Free online quizzes and vendor "AI readiness scorecards" are worth roughly what they cost. Ours is $999, fixed, credited in full toward any build with us. Delivered in 5 business days from your intake call. Refunded if the audit doesn't find automation opportunities worth more than the fee: worst case, you get a free answer. ## Who it's for - Running a 15–80 person company where manual work feels like it should be automated, but you don't know where to start or what to trust - Been pitched AI tools by vendors and can't tell what's real from demo magic - Already built something (an agent, a workflow, an automation) that isn't working as expected We turn down roughly a third of requests. Not a fit if you already have a technical team with a defined AI roadmap, you're looking for a free consultation, or you've already decided what to build. ## The six questions the AI readiness audit answers This is the readiness check behind every report: the same six questions, every time, applied to your specific operations. 1. Are your processes stable enough to automate, or still changing month to month? 2. Where does manual work actually live: which steps, which people, how many hours a week? 3. What's already in your stack, and is it being used, or half-adopted and ignored? 4. Do the systems you'd need to connect actually expose the data, or is it locked in someone's inbox? 5. Does your team have the bandwidth to adopt something new right now? 6. For each gap: is the fix worth more than it costs to build? ## Client results One client was about to spend $28,000 on an AI document-processing tool. The audit found the real bottleneck was a manual transfer between ops and finance, not documents. We recommended a $4,000 workflow automation instead, done in four weeks. Not every audit leads to a build. One 40-person e-commerce company's ops weren't stable enough to automate yet; they spent 6 months fixing processes first, then came back. A 25-person SaaS startup had three automations that each worked but didn't talk to each other: the audit mapped the entire system so everything connects. When the answer is a build, the scopes and fixed prices are on our [AI automation page](/ai-automation-agency/). ## What clients say > "We were impressed with the ideas and they helped us shape our product and simplify it." — Neha Yadav, Manager, TBO ## FAQ **Do I need to know anything about AI going in?** No. The audit is designed for ops leads and founders who understand their business operations, not AI tools. The less you know about AI, often the more useful the audit is. **We already use some automation tools. Is the audit still relevant?** Yes, often more so. We audit what you have alongside the gaps that exist, since automation that works in isolation without connecting to the rest of operations is a common finding. **Who needs to be on the discovery call?** Ideally your COO or ops lead, whoever knows how the business actually runs, not how it's supposed to run on paper. **What happens if you find that we shouldn't build anything right now?** We say so in the report. Sometimes a company's ops are too early-stage for AI tools. The $999 is for an honest assessment, not a justification for the next engagement. **Is the $999 applied toward a build if we work together after?** Yes, in full. Build with us and the audit was free. If the audit doesn't find automation worth more than the fee, we refund it instead, and "don't build anything yet" still goes in the report when that's the honest answer. **What does an AI readiness assessment include?** The same six questions on every engagement: are your processes stable enough to automate, where does the manual work actually live, what's already in your stack and is it being used, can the systems you'd need actually connect, does your team have the bandwidth to adopt something new, and is each fix worth more than it costs. We apply those to your specific operations and write up what we find. **Is this a compliance audit?** No. If you need bias testing, model-risk review, or regulatory sign-off on an AI system you've already built, that's a different service: talk to a firm that specializes in AI governance. This audit answers a narrower question: which automations are worth building in your operations, and which aren't. ## Book a call [Get my audit report](/go/intro-call?cta_label=ai-audit-hero): $999, delivered in five days, credited toward your build.
