AI readiness assessment: measure one workflow before you build
What a workflow-level AI readiness assessment covers, what Svolta's Workflow Baseline costs, and the evidence you should receive before funding a build.

30 minutes with the team that would run the engagement. Bring one workflow, its volume, and the systems it touches.
If the fit is real, Workflow Baseline covers one workflow for $2,995 AUD ex GST. A $14,995 Launch includes all scoping expenses.
If we are not the right team, we say so on the call. No follow-on sequence.
An AI readiness assessment should answer whether one operational workflow is ready to enter production, not assign your whole company a maturity score. The useful output is a defined workflow, a primary KPI, a visible measurement method, current-state evidence, an exception boundary, and a fixed scope for the first Launch.
What a proper readiness assessment covers
The useful version is process measurement first and technology second. A Business Analyst works with the process owner and the people running one bottleneck, using system history where possible and a structured sample where it is not. Workflow Baseline covers:
- Process mapping. How the work moves today: the queues, the handoffs, the re-keying, the Friday reconciliation nobody planned. Named tools, named roles, named volumes.
- KPI and evidence method. Start event, end event, measurement window, sample size, assumptions, and owner.
- Current-state evidence. Volume, cycle time, touch time, rework, and error types where the records support them.
- A Launch scope. The production thin slice, systems, human approvals, exception path, fixed per-workflow price, acceptance boundary, and recommended Workflow Run boundary.
What Workflow Baseline costs
Svolta’s Workflow Baseline is $2,995 AUD ex GST per workflow and usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. If that workflow proceeds to Launch, the $14,995 AUD Launch total includes all scoping expenses. The alternative is often a free vendor assessment that exists to sell a platform or a broad strategy programme that never reaches a measurable production boundary.
What you get at the end
A Baseline Pack you keep. It contains the map, KPI, method, current-state evidence, problem-cost assumptions, system and access requirements, exception boundary, and fixed Launch scope. Your internal team or another partner can build against the same pack.
Workflow Baseline or free fit call first?
Start with the free 30-minute fit call. Bring one workflow, its weekly volume, the systems it touches, and the person accountable for the result. We tell you whether it is measurable and whether Workflow Baseline is worth running. If the volume, access, or ownership is missing, we say so.
What happens after
If the evidence supports a build, Workflow Launch puts the signed thin slice into production with human-reviewed exceptions, quality checks, source records, a capacity dashboard, training, and 30-day stabilisation. Workflow Run then keeps the accepted system supported and gives approved improvements a clear monthly boundary.

Svolta's Workflow Baseline is $2,995 AUD ex GST per workflow and usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. It measures one bottleneck and ends in a fixed Launch scope you keep. If that workflow proceeds to Launch, the $14,995 AUD Launch total includes all scoping expenses.
Workflow Baseline includes the process boundary, normal and exception paths, primary KPI, measurement window and method, current-state evidence, problem-cost assumptions, system and access needs, human approvals, and a fixed Launch scope. It is a decision-ready pack, not a maturity scorecard.
