AI readiness assessments
Review your data, current tools, access controls and team capability. Understand what can support a useful pilot and what needs attention first.
You can see the potential of AI. We help you decide where it belongs in your business, what needs to be ready and which first step is worth taking. Independent AI consultancy from Wales, working across the UK.
Talk through your AI plansA new tool appears every week. Someone has tried a chatbot. Another team wants to automate reporting. The difficult part is deciding which ideas solve a real problem and which will become another subscription nobody uses.
Dragon AI starts with the work, the people and the information you already have. We assess AI readiness, compare opportunities and shape a roadmap around your priorities. Sometimes the right answer is a better process or a straightforward integration. That belongs in the conversation too.
Review your data, current tools, access controls and team capability. Understand what can support a useful pilot and what needs attention first.
Walk through recurring work such as document handling, customer enquiries and internal knowledge searches. Identify where AI could make a practical difference.
Compare an existing product, a connected workflow and a custom solution. Consider the full picture: cost, permissions, reliability, maintenance and how people will use it.
Put opportunities in a sensible order. Assign ownership, define a first experiment and make the decision points visible to everyone involved.
Your team has suggested an internal assistant, automated email replies and AI reporting. Each sounds useful, but the data, effort and expected benefit are still unclear.
A ranked shortlist shows the assumptions behind each option. One limited pilot has a named owner, representative tasks and a clear decision about what would justify the next stage.
Observe the current task and record a useful baseline.
Weigh value, feasibility, data readiness and ongoing effort.
Agree a small experiment and the evidence needed to continue.
An illustrative engagement. We agree the actual scope, access and success measures with your business.
The engagement has a clear scope and a tangible handover. We agree the deliverables before work starts.
Discuss the scopeThe relevant tools, information, skills and constraints, with gaps made explicit.
Ideas ranked against criteria agreed with you, including the assumptions and dependencies behind each recommendation.
A sequence of work with owners, decision points and indicative effort to help you plan.
Representative tasks, success measures, boundaries and a sensible first implementation.
A plain-English walkthrough for the people approving the work and the people delivering it.
Talk with the people who know the work and agree the questions the review needs to answer.
Map the workflow, review representative information and check the practical constraints.
Compare options, challenge assumptions and agree a realistic first step.
Hand over the roadmap or scope the pilot with you. Decide how progress will be reviewed.

Let’s talk it through
An AI consultant connects business problems with suitable technology and a plan to use it. Our work can include a readiness review, interviews with your team, opportunity assessment, tool selection and a scoped pilot. The result should help you make a specific decision, rather than leave you with a general presentation about AI.
Usually that is a question to investigate, rather than a starting assumption. An existing product, an API-based solution or a workflow using your current systems may be sufficient. We consider custom development when the job, data and expected value justify it.
We agree what matters before testing: for example, time spent on a task, the quality of a draft, the number of exceptions or the effort needed for review. We then use representative examples and compare the result with how the work happens today. A successful demonstration alone is not the whole business case.
A focused review of one process is different from an organisation-wide roadmap. We agree the people involved, questions to answer, evidence to review and deliverables before pricing the engagement. Any recommended implementation, licences or ongoing support are explained separately.
Yes. Dragon AI also builds business automations, custom software and AI applications, and connects existing systems. We can scope implementation after the strategy work, or provide a clear brief for your existing team or supplier.
We are based in Pontyclun and work with businesses across the UK. Discovery and working sessions can take place remotely. Any on-site sessions are agreed as part of the scope.
