What does an AI readiness assessment cover?

Three things: your data, your workflows and your team's skills. Over one week we work out which processes AI can realistically take on, what each is costing you today, and what the return would be — then rank the opportunities in a proposal with estimated ROIs.

How much does an AI audit cost?

£3,000, fixed. That buys the full one-week programme: three calls with our most experienced leaders and a research and proposal package with estimated ROIs. No cost creep, and no obligation to build anything with us afterwards.

What if the audit finds AI isn't worth it for us?

Then we'll say so. Part of the job is telling you where AI isn't worth the investment — a roadmap that flatters every idea would be worthless. You still leave with a clear picture of what to fix first, even if the answer is 'not AI, not yet'.

What happens after the assessment?

That's your call. Some clients take the roadmap and act on it themselves; most ask us to build the top opportunity. Follow-on builds start from £8,000, scoped and agreed at a fixed price before anything starts.

How do you judge whether we are ready for AI?

If your team is spending hours on repetitive admin — re-keying data, chasing approvals, copying information between spreadsheets and emails — you're ready. You don't need existing systems, technical knowledge, or a “digital strategy” in place; the assessment exists to find the one clear, repetitive process that's costing you most.

AI Readiness Assessment & AI Audit UK

Every step, with a team who's done it before

You've heard AI could save you time, but nobody's shown you where — or whether it's worth the spend at all. The readiness assessment answers that in a week: your data, workflows and team skills mapped, every opportunity given a number, and a straight 'not yet' where that's the honest call.

First call

A no-cost call to check the assessment fits — we look for the repetitive admin that's costing you most, and if there's nothing worth a week's audit, we'll say so before you pay a penny.
The week, fixed

You commit to a fixed £3,000 for a one-week programme — three calls with our most experienced leaders, your data and workflows mapped — agreed before we start, with no obligation to build anything afterwards.
The proposal

We rank each candidate process by payback — what it costs you today, what automating it saves — and hand you a research and proposal package with estimated ROIs, so the decision is arithmetic, not faith.
Your call

The roadmap is yours to keep and act on however you like. Most clients ask us to build the top opportunity — follow-on builds start from £8,000, fixed price — but you're never obliged to build with us to use what you've learned.

From audit to working system

Each of these began as the question you're asking — where would AI actually pay off here? For an energy supplier, the answer became a 5x lift in lead capacity in 3 months; for a trader, a model built on their own spreadsheet; for a travel app, AI that reads booking documents so nobody re-types them.

SBU

CodeLeap automated the full sales cycle for a client in the UK energy sector, from lead capture through to signed contract, increasing lead generation capacity by 5x in 3 months.

Market prediction platform

We built a machine-learning platform for a financial analysis firm — supervised models that read the trend patterns and oscillators their analyst used to label by hand, a daily pipeline that writes the results into their working spreadsheet, and predictions served through an API.

An iOS and Android app that keeps everything about a group trip or event — travel, accommodation, agenda, guests and to-dos — in one place, built end to end by CodeLeap for a UK startup.

Our approach

How the week actually runs — the method we apply and the tools we use, so you know what £3,000 buys before you book the first call.

ROI-first shortlisting

Every candidate process gets a number for what it costs you today and what automating it would save — the list is ranked by payback, not novelty.
Process mapping

We sit with the people doing the work and map where the hours actually go — the re-keying, the chasing, the spreadsheets nobody admits to.
Data audit

AI is only as good as the data you feed it, so we check what you hold, where it lives and whether it's usable before recommending anything.
Team skills review

A system nobody uses saves nobody anything — we gauge who'd run each automation and what training they'd need.
OpenAI & Claude

Where a quick prototype settles an argument, we test ideas on the OpenAI models we've shipped with, and on the Claude API where it fits better.
Estimated ROIs

The proposal puts a £ figure and a payback period against each opportunity, so the decision is arithmetic, not faith.
An honest 'not yet'

If AI isn't worth it for you right now, the proposal says so — that answer costs the same and saves you far more.
And much more

This is what comes up most often, not a limit. Bring us something that isn't on this list and we'll get up to speed on it — working with something new is the job, not an obstacle.
