This is one page from a sample report. Yours runs 12-18 pages and covers your processes, not these.

Why this exists

Nobody told you what you are actually buying

Four situations where the audit costs less than building on a hunch.

  • Quotes differ by a factor of ten

    Polish suppliers publish 3,000-15,000 zł to configure an agent and 80,000-250,000 zł for one that writes into an ERP. Without a written scope those numbers cannot be compared. The audit hands you a scope you can send to any builder, not only to me.

  • A free call ends in a quote you cannot check

    One hour on a call and you get an 8,000-20,000 zł quote, the band Polish suppliers publish for configuring an agent with integrations, and you approve it on somebody else's intuition. That is too large a first step for a company that has never bought AI. The audit costs a fraction of it and ends in numbers instead of a promise.

  • Pilots die before production

    Gartner expects more than 40% of agentic AI projects to be cancelled by the end of 2027, and S&P Global counted 42% of companies abandoning most AI initiatives in 2025. The reason is almost always the same: the process was picked before anyone looked at the data. Here the data goes first.

  • You do not know whether your data is enough

    The knowledge sits in inboxes, in PDFs and in two people's heads. A model cannot read what nobody ever wrote down in a readable form. I take samples and tell you plainly how much cleanup comes before the first build.

What you get

Six things in writing, not a deck

The report runs 12-18 pages and is written so you can hand it to a builder, to your board or to a grant adviser.

Processes ranked by payback

I list the processes that genuinely qualify for automation and order them from fastest payback to slowest. Each one carries its volume, today's handling time and its annual cost. It usually comes to between three and eight entries.

A feasibility verdict per process

For every process I write what today's model does reliably, what it does with errors that need checking, and what it will not do at all. I also give the share of cases that will land in manual review. Skip this chapter and you are buying a demo.

A data-readiness verdict

I take samples: emails, PDFs, ERP exports, ticket history. I check format, completeness and whether there is any history worth building on. The answer is one of three: ready, needs a stated number of days of cleanup, or no usable data.

A build quote with a fixed price and a date

For the two top-ranked processes you get an amount, a scope and a delivery date. The price holds for 60 days. You can take it to another builder, because the document is yours, not mine.

A go or no-go recommendation

One page with the answer and the reasoning. I am allowed to write that this is not worth doing yet, and I do write it when the numbers do not add up or the process needs fixing without any model first. In that case you get the conditions under which it becomes worth revisiting.

Legal duties and funding routes

I check which of your ideas fall under the AI Act. The duty to tell a person they are talking to a machine applies from 2 August 2026, and systems placed on the market earlier have until 2 December 2026 to mark AI-generated content. On top of that, the calls that fund this kind of project and what the application demands from the supplier. This is not legal advice, it is a list of duties and dates to confirm with a lawyer.

How it runs

Five working days, four hours of your team

Fully remote. We start Monday, the report lands Friday by 18:00 CET.

  1. Day 0

    Contract, NDA and questionnaire

    We sign the contract and an NDA, and you get a 20-question form about volumes, systems and people. I ask for read-only access where it makes sense, or plain exports. Nothing is connected to production.

  2. Day 1-2

    Interviews with the people doing the work

    Three to five conversations of 45 minutes: a salesperson, someone from support, someone from accounting or the warehouse. I do not ask management how the process looks, I ask the people clicking through it. The real cost usually turns up there.

  3. Day 2-3

    Data and systems

    I take document samples and exports from your ERP or CRM, count volumes, and check whether the API exposes what an automation would need. Comarch, Subiekt, enova, HubSpot, Pipedrive: each has its own limits, and this is where they show.

  4. Day 4

    The numbers

    I cost the process as it runs today, cost it after the build, and name the month it breaks even. Running cost is separate: API, hosting, hours for fixes. If payback lands beyond 12 months, I say so in the report.

  5. Day 5

    Report and a 90-minute walkthrough

    The PDF arrives in the morning, we go through it on a call in the afternoon and I answer questions. The recording stays with you. From that day you have 60 days to decide at the quoted price.

Tiers and prices

Base audit

from€1,150

One company, one department, up to three processes. Built for a business that has never bought AI and wants one solid first step. Invoiced in Poland it is 4,900 zł net.

  • Up to 3 processes mapped
  • 3 interviews of 45 minutes
  • Data and feasibility verdict
  • Fixed quote for one build
  • PDF report and a 90-minute walkthrough
  • Fee credited against the build

Typically: a wholesaler, a law firm, an online store under 30 people.

Extended audit

from€2,100

Several departments, or an implementation that already exists and does not work. I take apart what is running before I price what to add.

  • Up to 8 processes mapped
  • Up to 7 interviews, IT included
  • Teardown of your existing bot or automation
  • Fixed quotes for two builds
  • A 12-month sequencing plan
  • Token and infrastructure cost model

Typically: a manufacturer, a retail chain, a company after a failed pilot.

Group and regulated audit

from€3,500

Several legal entities sharing processes, or a supervised sector: healthcare, finance, HR, public bodies.

  • Processes across several entities
  • Risk classification under the AI Act
  • KRiBSI duties from 28 October 2026
  • AI system register and an Article 4 literacy plan
  • Staged quotes, each with a date
  • Grant-application version of the report

Typically: a holding group, a clinic, a lending company.

The fee is credited in full against the build if we start within 60 days. If the verdict is no-go, I do not refund it, because that answer is exactly what you paid for.

When not to buy it

Four situations where I talk people out of this audit, and I say so before any contract.

  • Fewer than five people and no repeating process: there is nothing to count
  • You already know the one process and you have the budget for it
  • You need a document for a grant application, not for a build
  • You are after training or a workshop for the team, and this is neither

If there is one process and you already know which, skip the audit and go straight to Services

Questions about the audit

  • The audit starts at €1,150 and takes five working days. You get a 12-18 page report: processes ranked by payback, a feasibility verdict for each one, a data-readiness verdict, a build quote with a fixed price and a date, and a one-page go or no-go recommendation. Plus a 90-minute live walkthrough and the recording of it.

  • No, the whole fee is credited against the build if we sign within 60 days of the report. At €1,150 for the audit and €4,250 for the build you pay the difference. If you pick a different builder, the report is still yours and you can shop it around.

  • A free call gives you an opinion, the audit gives you a document with numbers, a price and a date. It is also not a pilot: in those five days I do not build a working system and I do not run a model against live data. A pilot takes weeks, costs several times more, and without an audit it usually tests the wrong process.

  • A no-go verdict comes in writing, along with the conditions that would make the project worth revisiting. That outcome is normal when data is scattered or the process changes every month. The audit costs €1,150 instead of the €6,000-35,000 a full build runs to, on a system that was never going to run.

  • The audit takes about four hours of your team's time in total. That is three to five interviews of 45 minutes with the people who actually run the process, plus pulling document samples and exports. Management is only needed at the start and at the report walkthrough.

  • Sometimes, but do not plan around it. Calls such as PARP Automatyzacja i robotyzacja w MŚP or ARP DIG.IT fund the implementation above all, and advisory work counts as an eligible cost only in some calls and only inside a larger project. I write the report in a form your grant adviser can use in the application, but eligibility is confirmed by that adviser, not by me.

  • Yes, in every tier. I check whether what you are planning falls under the duty to tell a person they are talking to a machine, which applies from 2 August 2026, while systems placed on the market earlier have until 2 December 2026 to mark AI-generated content. The group and regulated tier adds risk classification and the powers of KRiBSI, the Polish supervisor, which can open proceedings and impose fines from 28 October 2026. I do this as a builder, not as a lawyer: you get a list of duties and dates to confirm with counsel.
