WHAT WE AUDIT

The 4 Pillars of AI Readiness

Data Architecture & Pipeline Readiness

Assessment of data quality, ETL/ELT pipelines, vector indexing readiness, unstructured data availability, and data sanitation processes.

Vector Store Compatibility
Real-Time Data Streaming
Clean Unstructured Data Ingestion
Data Governance & Lineage

Infrastructure & Compute Scalability

Evaluation of cloud hosting setup (AWS, GCP, Azure), GPU orchestration capabilities, latency benchmarks, and microservice containerization.

vLLM / Inference Engine Readiness
Multi-Region Cloud Redundancy
Kubernetes / Container Setup
API Throughput Capacity

Security, Privacy & Compliance

Audit of SOC2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR alignment, PII masking layers, RBAC policies, and model guardrails against hallucination/prompt injection.

PII Redaction Engine
Zero Third-Party Training Guarantees
Audit Trail Telemetry
Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC)

Model & Agentic Workflow Design

Review of current internal use cases to determine optimal AI model selection (commercial APIs vs. fine-tuned open-weight models) and agent tool integration.

Fine-Tuning vs. RAG Fit
Agent Tooling Scoping
Cost per Inference Optimization
Human-in-the-Loop Checkpoints

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is involved in an AI Readiness Assessment?

Our AI Readiness Assessment involves technical workshops with your engineering, data, and business leads, combined with codebase and architecture reviews to produce a comprehensive readiness scorecard.

How long does the assessment take?

Typically 1 to 2 weeks from initial kickoff to executive presentation of deliverables.

Who should participate from our organization?

We recommend key stakeholders from CTO/VP of Engineering, Data Lead, Product Lead, and Compliance/Security Officer roles.

Is there any commitment to build after the assessment?

No. The AI Readiness Assessment is a standalone engineering deliverable. You receive full ownership of all blueprints, scorecards, and roadmap documentation.
