AI Department Audit
A work-week snapshot, a task map and the math: what to automate, what to keep human, how many hours get freed up. You make the adoption decision based on numbers.
Managers hear about AI everywhere. Competitors are adopting something, staff are overloaded, hiring keeps getting more expensive. But between "we need AI" and "AI adopted" sits a question nobody answers: which specific tasks in your department should go to AI, and which should not.
Top-down adoption without an audit always ends the same way: a tool gets bought, employees don't use it, zero effect. The cause: nobody looked at what people's workday actually consists of. The audit starts exactly there.
The work is built on documenting the department's processes, and observations are turned into a calculation. Stages:
Before the start: how management presents the audit to staff. Skip this step and people game the data, making the whole calculation worthless.
Each employee logs their tasks for a week: what, how often, how many minutes. Simple format, 5 minutes a day.
All tasks consolidated and broken into sub-processes. You see what people actually do and where the duplication is.
Each sub-process: automatable / partially / no. With reasoning: cost, risk, error criticality.
Hours per month per role, implementation cost, payback period. Numbers you can take to the director.
What to implement first, second, and what to leave alone. A report walkthrough with the manager is included.
The next step after the audit is an automation specification: technical requirements for specific agents under the ANSS standard. The audit stands on its own: you can take the report to any contractor.
Prices are net, excluding VAT.
The audit's output is a map of freed-up capacity. How to use it is your decision: cut headcount, take on more orders, or unburden your people.
Data is collected with employees' knowledge. The audit is presented to the team as reinforcement. That's not a formality: covert observation produces distorted data and a useless calculation.
If the first week shows there's nothing worth automating in the department, this will be said directly, and only the express stage is paid.
