AI Audit

An AI audit is a structured assessment of an organization's current AI use, capabilities, and readiness. It typically covers: which AI tools are currently in use (including shadow AI), which workflows would benefit most from AI, what the team's current AI literacy level is, what obstacles to adoption exist, and what the highest-value starting points are. An AI audit is useful before beginning a deployment program because it ensures effort is directed at the right use cases rather than the most obvious ones.

A good AI audit takes a few hours with the right framework, not weeks of analysis.
