AI Readiness Assessment · Australia
Find out which workflow
to automate first.
In two hours.
An AI readiness assessment tells you whether your business is ready for AI, which workflows are worth automating, and what the highest-ROI starting point is. NOYS delivers a practical assessment — a 2-hour working session with a written brief at the end — not a strategy deck. Cost: $750. Credits toward the build if you proceed.
Six things the assessment covers
Every workflow in your business is scored against these six criteria. The highest-scoring workflow becomes the recommendation.
Workflow volume
Which tasks happen most often — measured in occurrences per week, not perceived importance. Volume is the first filter.
Human effort per task
How many minutes per occurrence, and what percentage of that is genuine judgement vs repetitive handling.
Automation suitability
Whether the task input is consistent enough for AI to handle reliably — structured data, standard formats, predictable requests.
Tool connectivity
Whether the systems involved in the workflow have APIs or integration points that an AI agent can connect to.
Risk profile
What happens if the AI makes an error — and whether human review at the output stage reduces that risk to acceptable.
ROI estimate
Minutes saved per week × hourly rate × 52 weeks = annual value. We calculate this for every workflow we assess.

AI readiness assessment — common questions
- What is an AI readiness assessment?
- An AI readiness assessment evaluates a business's workflows, data, and operations to determine which processes are suitable for AI automation and which are not. A good AI readiness assessment produces a ranked list of automation opportunities with estimated time savings, a recommended starting point, and a technical brief for what would need to be built. NOYS's $750 Map is an AI readiness assessment focused on practical implementation — not a strategy report.
- How long does an AI readiness assessment take?
- The NOYS AI readiness assessment (Map) is a 2-hour working session. We document your workflows in the first 45 minutes, score them by automation value in the second 45 minutes, and spend the final 30 minutes reviewing the prioritised list and answering questions. The written brief is delivered within 72 hours of the session.
- What does an AI readiness assessment cost in Australia?
- NOYS charges $750 for an AI readiness assessment (Map session). Enterprise AI readiness assessments from large consultancies range from $5,000 to $50,000 and typically produce a strategy document rather than a build brief. The NOYS $750 Map produces a practical brief — not a deck — and the fee credits toward the implementation if you proceed.
- What does an AI readiness assessment look at?
- NOYS's AI readiness assessment reviews: the tasks your team performs more than 20 times per week, which tasks involve reading, writing, or sorting information, which tasks require copying data between systems, the tools your business currently uses (email, CRM, accounting software, practice management), and any workflows that consistently create bottlenecks, errors, or delays. From this we identify which workflows have the best combination of volume, effort, and automation suitability.
- Is my business ready for AI?
- Most Australian SMEs are ready for at least one AI automation. The typical readiness signals are: a task that happens more than 20 times per week, involves handling information (reading emails, extracting data from documents, drafting standard responses), and currently requires a human's attention even though the decision is predictable. If your team spends time on any of these, you're ready for AI. The Map session identifies exactly where to start.
