Assessment Progress0 of 4 Questions Completed

Informational Guide: This self-assessment is an objective maturity indicator for planning purposes. It does not constitute legal, regulatory (e.g. UK GDPR, FCA, NHS DTAC), or technical architecture certification. Final feasibility depends on detailed technical discovery.

1. What is the primary format of your operational data?

AI pipelines require structured, accessible inputs to operate predictably.

Unstructured or DisconnectedPhysical documents, scanned PDFs, static notes, or isolated desktop spreadsheets.

Centralized Files & Cloud DocumentsShared cloud drives (Google Drive / OneDrive), structured spreadsheets, and documented records.

Relational Databases & Documented APIsSQL databases, cloud data warehouses, or documented REST/GraphQL endpoints with defined schemas.

2. How are your current operational workflows executed?

Automating workflows requires stable business rules and escalation pathways.

Primarily Manual HandlingTeam members manually copy data between systems, send email reminders, and handle approvals informally.

Semi-Automated / Single-Trigger ToolsBasic trigger alerts or standard no-code connectors for simple point-to-point notifications.

Documented Business Rules & High VolumeStandard operating procedures with defined exception pathways and predictable volume.

3. What is the scope of systems that need to exchange data?

Custom AI and automation deliver value when integrated into core operational platforms.

Isolated Standalone ToolA single task or team utility that operates independently without connecting to other platforms.

Standard Cloud Platforms (2–3 tools)Modern SaaS platforms (e.g. CRM, ticketing, or billing) with standard webhook support.

Enterprise Multi-System EnvironmentCore ERP (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics), CRM (Salesforce), legacy databases, and line-of-business applications.

4. What is the estimated weekly manual effort spent on these workflows?

Engineering custom AI delivers higher return on investment when manual friction is substantial.

Low Volume (< 10 hours/week)Routine tasks take under 10 hours per week across the team.

Moderate Volume (10 – 40 hours/week)Administrative tasks consume significant team time and create occasional bottlenecks.

High-Volume Drag (> 40 hours/week)Repetitive data entry, ticket triage, or document verification creates significant delay and costs.
