AI Readiness Assessment & Enterprise AI Strategy

A structured assessment of where artificial intelligence will repay investment in your organisation, and where it will not. We examine data estate, process maturity, regulatory exposure and internal capability, and return a sequenced roadmap with costed options rather than a list of possibilities.

Architecture and stack

How we build it

Architectural position

Assessment engagements are deliberately technology-neutral. We do not recommend a platform until the use-case portfolio is agreed.

Representative technologies

Technology selection follows the requirement. This list is representative of engagements in this service line, not a constraint we impose on yours.

Service assurance

SLA, compliance and governance

Engagements in this service line are delivered under the Gold service tier by default, against the compliance obligations below. Both are set in the engagement contract, not by this page.

Default tier

Gold — 99.9% availability target, P1 response within 1 hour, coverage 24 × 5 plus on-call.

Compliance scope

Governance

Written architecture decision records, weekly delivery reporting, and a documented handover comprising runbooks, source and credential transfer at engagement close.

Intellectual property

Client-commissioned work product vests in the client on payment. Source escrow available on request.

Service level tiers, availability targets and response commitments
Tier	Availability target	P1 response	P1 resolution target	Coverage	Service credits
Platinum	99.95%	15 minutes	4 hours	24 × 7 × 365	Yes
Gold	99.9%	1 hour	8 hours	24 × 5 plus on-call	Yes
Silver	99.5%	4 hours	2 business days	09:00–18:00 EAT	No

Publication gate G-05 — outstanding

These values illustrate the structure of the table. Each figure must be confirmed by whoever will be contractually bound by it, and the availability targets must be achievable on the underlying cloud provider SLAs before publication. Publishing a 99.95% target on infrastructure whose own composite SLA is lower creates an obligation that cannot be met.
