AI Sanity Check
A trusted checkpoint before you build with AI.
This is a single, standardized review designed to answer one question: do you actually need AI for this decision?
If the answer is “not yet” (or “not at all”), you’ll leave with practical alternatives and a clear next move—without a pitch deck.
The single offer
One structured working session + a short written summary you can share internally.
- Outcome
- A clear recommendation: AI, automation without AI, or do nothing yet.
- Scope
- The decision you’re trying to make—not a broad transformation program.
- Tone
- Practical, vendor-agnostic, and written for busy teams.
What this is
- A short, disciplined review of the decision and its constraints
- A check for simpler fixes (process, tooling, data, policy) first
- Clarity on risks, failure modes, and what “success” would mean
What this isn’t
- A sales call, demo, or “AI strategy” workshop
- A model recommendation or vendor bake-off
- A commitment to build anything
What we look for
Decision clarity
What you’re choosing, by when, and what “good” looks like.
Data reality
Whether the inputs exist, are usable, and can be governed.
Workflow fit
Where automation would live, and who it would affect.
Risk + controls
Safety, compliance, and how you’d catch mistakes early.
How it works
- 1) You tell us the decision. A few sentences is enough.
- 2) We run the check. We’ll map constraints, alternatives, and the minimum viable proof.
- 3) You get a short write-up. Clear recommendation, risks, and next steps (including “pause” when appropriate).
Common decisions this helps with
- “Should we add AI to this workflow, or tighten the process first?”
- “Do we need a chatbot here, or just better search and documentation?”
- “Is this a good candidate for automation, or too high-risk?”
- “What’s the smallest proof we can run without disrupting operations?”
