Consulting · The AI Opportunity Audit
Practical · Evidence-led · No fluff

Two weeks. £750.
A straight answer on where AI pays in your business.

Most owners know AI matters. Fewer can tell the hype from the use case that pays for itself in a month. The AI Opportunity Audit finds out which is which. In your business, not in theory.

What happens

02What you get

Four things, none of them a 40-page report you'll never read.

03What that looks like: a worked example

Everything below is illustrative, for a fictional company. Your numbers will be your own.

Reading: leadership is bought-in and the team is willing, but nobody has been shown how to use the tools properly, and there are no ground rules. Five staff were already pasting resident details into free AI tools after long shifts. Fix governance and skills first; the time savings then land safely.

Top three quick wins

Care planning

Care plan first drafts & reviews

~9 hrs/wk
est. £8,400/yr at £18/hr

First drafts and review updates assembled from assessment notes by an AI assistant. A senior carer checks and signs off every plan. Minutes, not an evening.

Daily records

Daily notes & handover summaries

~5 hrs/wk
est. £4,700/yr

Shift notes turned into clean daily records and handover summaries, reviewed before filing. Ends the end-of-shift write-up pile.

Finance

Local authority invoicing

~11 days DSO
cash-flow, not headcount

Invoices matched to commissioned hours and polite, escalating reminders drafted and scheduled automatically, for councils and private payers alike.

90-day roadmap (excerpt)

Weeks 1-2

AI ground rules agreed and shared (one page, not a policy tome). Approved tools list issued and one rule made absolute: nothing identifying a resident goes into a free or personal AI account. The unofficial AI use comes in from the cold.

Weeks 3-6

Care-plan drafting assistant live with the deputy manager and senior carers, every output human-checked. Measured against the baseline captured in this audit.

Weeks 7-12

Daily-notes summarising rolled out across shifts; invoice reminders switched on in the existing accounts package. Re-score readiness before the next CQC touchpoint, target 70+.

04The deal, plainly

£750Fixed · No day rates · No surprises

Included

  • Everything in sections 01 and 02
  • One playback session, plus one round of minor amendments
  • Yours to keep and share: deck, scorecard, roadmap

Not included (by design)

  • Implementation, builds or integrations. That's follow-on work if you want it
  • Vendor procurement or negotiations
  • Bespoke policy writing (available separately)
The bridge: book an Implementation Sprint within 60 days of your playback and £375 (half the audit fee) is credited against it. The audit effectively pays for half of itself if you act on it.

Proof, not promises.

A 20-minute call to see if the audit fits. If it doesn't, I'll say so. I'd rather keep the fortnight.
