WORKFLOW
AUDITS
Three levels of intelligence. One goal — to find where AI can save you time, money and effort.
We map your existing workflows, identify where AI is already at work (whether you know it or not), and surface the friction, the opportunity and the transformation potential — for any organisation, any sector.
Choose Your Depth of Intelligence
Every organisation is different. Start with a Snapshot to get quick clarity, go deeper with Pain & Pleasure, or commission a full Deep Dive transformation roadmap.
A focused, rapid assessment of your current workflows. We spend time with your team, map the key processes, and deliver a clear-eyed view of where AI is already operating, where it should be, and where it’s creating risk — without the overwhelm of a full audit.
Our signature audit. We go beyond the surface to map both the friction points in your workflows and the genuine opportunity — the places where AI could transform output, reduce stress and unlock creativity. Named for what it reveals: the pain of inefficiency and the pleasure of what’s possible.
A comprehensive, immersive audit designed for organisations ready to make AI a structural part of how they work. We embed with your teams, analyse every layer of your operation, and deliver a full transformation intelligence report — with implementation guidance, governance frameworks and a phased roadmap.

How Every Audit Works
A consistent, rigorous methodology — adapted to your sector and the depth of audit you choose.
We start with a structured conversation. Understand your organisation, your goals, your current tools, and what success looks like for you.
We walk through your workflows — in person, remotely or via structured questionnaires. We watch how work actually happens, not just how it’s supposed to.
We apply our AI intelligence framework — scoring friction, opportunity, risk and readiness across every mapped workflow area.
Findings are distilled into clear, actionable intelligence. No jargon. No consultant-speak. Just honest insight your team can act on.
We present the findings, answer questions, and help you decide your next move — whether that’s quick wins, a roadmap, or a deeper engagement.
Built for Media. Ready for Any Sector.
Our audit methodology was forged in newsrooms and media organisations — where pace, accuracy and resource pressure make AI decisions high-stakes. It translates powerfully to any sector.
Editorial workflows, newsgathering, production pipelines, audience intelligence — we know where the AI opportunity sits in a newsroom.
Core SectorPitching, monitoring, content production, crisis management — PR teams are drowning in repetitive tasks AI can transform.
High ImpactDocument review, research, client communication, compliance — legal workflows have enormous AI leverage potential.
TailoredAdmin burden, patient communication, reporting, triage support — health organisations face unique AI opportunities and risks.
TailoredMarking, lesson planning, communications, accessibility — AI is reshaping education faster than most institutions can track.
TailoredGrant writing, impact reporting, donor communications, fieldwork — mission-driven organisations need AI to stretch every resource further.
TailoredReporting, risk analysis, client communication, compliance documentation — financial workflows are ripe for intelligent automation.
TailoredIf you have workflows, we can audit them. Our framework adapts to any sector, any size, any level of AI maturity.
BespokeMost organisations don’t have an AI problem. They have a clarity problem. They don’t know what they have, what they need, or where to start. That’s exactly what an audit resolves.
