Every week, a small business owner reads another headline about AI transforming their industry. And every week, the same question comes up: "Where do we even start?"

The answer isn't a tool. It's not a chatbot. It's not a subscription to the latest AI platform. The answer is understanding where you actually are — before you spend a dollar on where you want to be.

That's what an AI Readiness Assessment does.

What We Look At

An ATG Readiness Assessment is a structured evaluation of four areas:

1. Current Workflows

We map your existing processes — how work flows through your team, where data lives, and where manual effort dominates. Most businesses are surprised by how much time gets burned on repetitive tasks they've normalized.

2. Data Maturity

AI runs on data. We look at what data you collect, how it's stored, how clean it is, and whether it's accessible. A business with good data and no AI will outperform a business with bad data and the best AI money can buy.

3. Team Readiness

Technology doesn't fail — adoption does. We assess how your team currently uses technology, their comfort level with new tools, and what training would be needed. The best implementation in the world is worthless if nobody uses it.

4. Opportunity Mapping

Based on what we find, we identify the highest-ROI opportunities for AI in your specific business. Not generic recommendations — specific, prioritized actions with estimated impact and implementation cost.

What You Get

The deliverable is an 8–12 page report covering:

  • Current state analysis
  • Opportunity map with ROI estimates
  • Risk flags and concerns
  • Recommended implementation roadmap
  • Estimated timeline and budget

It's designed to give you — or your leadership team — everything you need to make an informed decision about whether and how to move forward with AI.

Who It's For

The Readiness Assessment is built for small businesses with 5–100 employees who know AI is relevant but aren't sure what to do about it. If you've been pitched by three vendors and still can't tell what's real from what's hype, this is your starting point.

What It Costs

ATG Readiness Assessments start at $750 for a standard engagement. The assessment pays for itself by preventing you from spending $5,000–$50,000 on the wrong tool.
