Data and AI readiness assessment
An AI roadmap that can say "not yet"
In two to three weeks, the engineers who would build it tell you which of your AI ideas your data and your AWS estate can carry today, what has to be fixed first, what it costs to run, and in what order.
Built for teams already running on AWS
The assessment is for a CTO, VP Engineering or founder who owns the decision and can act on a roadmap in the next 6 to 12 months. Three situations we see most often:
The pilot works in the sandbox
Your Bedrock or SageMaker pilot works on the demo data. The board is asking when it ships. Nobody has written down what stands between the two.
The data lives in six places
The use cases are clear. The data behind them sits in separate systems with no catalog and no owner, and every AI plan stalls on that layer.
Governance is blocking scale
PHI, GDPR data or customer contracts mean you cannot hand an AI system data you cannot govern.
Not the right fit
If your production workloads are not on AWS yet, this is a different conversation, and we will say so on the call.
If nobody on your side can act on the roadmap in the next 6 to 12 months, it is too early.
Three weeks, about five sessions, one readout
Read-only access to your estate. No production credentials, no agents installed, no change to anything.
Week 1
Discovery
Interviews with your sponsor, platform lead and data owner. A read-only look at the AWS estate and the data landscape. We write down what the status quo costs you in your own numbers.
Output
Prioritised list of use cases or infrastructure priorities, with the patterns they map to
Week 2
Patterns and architecture
Gap analysis per pattern, target architecture, sequencing. One working session with your engineers to check the design against what they know about the systems.
Output
Scorecard and architecture recommendation, validated by your team
Week 3
Business case and readout
Run cost, payback, the roadmap with its gates. Then a live readout to your sponsor, where the report is presented and questioned, not emailed.
Output
The full report and a roadmap you can start on the following week
What we need from you
- About five sessions of 60 to 120 minutes over the three weeks
- Read-only access to the AWS estate and architecture documentation
- The executive sponsor present at the readout
What happens after
The roadmap is yours. If you build the first quick win with us, that is a separate piece of work, priced from the roadmap, not bundled into it. If your team builds it, the architecture is specific enough to hand over.
Managed operations can appear as an option in the third phase of the roadmap when a governed AWS foundation is what the plan needs. It is an option on a page, never the ask on the call.
Who does the work
The same engineers who write the assessment build the systems. AWS reviewed the AI systems we delivered for the AI Services Competency, with the case studies public and the customers on the record.
