Twelve questions, about two minutes, no login. You will see where you stand, what makes sense first, and which AI agents fit the way you work. ## What you will know afterwards - Where your business stands across 4 dimensions - Which use cases fit the way you work - Which next steps would actually make a difference for you ## The twelve questions How many people does your business employ? What is your role in the business? Is there a clear goal for using AI? Who decides on introducing new tools? Which tasks cost your team the most time? How often does the most complex of those tasks run? Are those processes documented in writing anywhere? How does your team use AI tools today? Is there someone who could look after an AI project internally? Do those processes involve personal data? Are there internal rules for using AI? When would you like to start? ## Your result: Where your business stands ### Strategy Whether using AI has a goal and someone decides on it. *Foundation* There is no shared goal yet. That is normal, but it makes every tool decision arbitrary. *Building* The direction is visible but not committed to. Half a day of clarity saves months. *Ready* The goal and the decision path are clear. You can start on something concrete right away. ### Processes Whether the processes involved run often enough and are written down. *Foundation* Your processes live in your team’s heads. Writing them down comes before automating them. *Building* The main steps are known, the details are not. For a first agent that is usually enough. *Ready* Frequent, documented processes. That is the best possible starting point for an AI agent. ### Team Whether someone in the business works with AI and can carry a project. *Foundation* AI has not reached day-to-day work yet. Start small and visible, not with the biggest project. *Building* Some people already work with it. That knowledge can be turned into the standard. *Ready* Your team is practised and can carry a project. That shortens the rollout considerably. ### Governance Whether rules exist and it is clear which data is involved. *Foundation* Without rules, tools appear that nobody knows about. A one-page policy is enough to start. *Building* Rules exist but are not known everywhere. Close that gap before you roll out. *Ready* Clear rules and an awareness of sensitive data. You can take on delicate processes too. ### These examples take priority #### Enquiries and email A customer support agent answers recurring enquiries by email and chat and hands only the complex cases to your team. #### Quotes and documents A back-office agent drafts standard documents from your templates and data, so your team only reviews and approves. #### Data between systems An operations agent connects your systems, moves data and keeps it in sync instead of someone retyping it. #### Reports and analyses A business analyst agent produces up-to-date reports from your data and answers questions about them. #### Appointments and jobs An operations agent schedules appointments and jobs by your rules and flags conflicts before they become problems. #### Invoices and receipts A back-office agent reads receipts, reconciles them with your systems and surfaces only the discrepancies. #### Customer support A customer support agent takes standard requests over chat, email and phone and escalates the rest to your team. ### Your next steps #### Commit to one goal Half a day with your leadership: one goal, one accountable person, three candidates to start with. #### Write down your costliest process Who does what, with which tool, how often. One page is enough, and it is the basis for any automation. #### Name one person Someone in-house looks after the project and gets time in their calendar for it, not just a title. #### Write down the rules A one-page policy: which tools are allowed and which data must not go into them. ## The fastest way to a request Tell us about your task and we will tell you honestly whether and how AI can help with it. ### How can we help?
