AI-Readiness Diagnostic · $6,000
Know what AI changes for your business before committing further resources.
OM examines one business unit or core offer, tests the assumptions behind its customer value, pricing, and delivery, and identifies the decisions leadership needs to make next. You receive an evidence-based diagnostic, the most important business-model exposures, and a prioritised agenda for action.
The conversation confirms scope and sponsor. Nothing is purchased on this site; engagements begin with an agreed statement of work.
Self-report vs. evidence
The free assessment reflects your answers. The diagnostic examines your business.
Free self-assessment
Twelve questions, about four minutes. A directional profile and one area worth investigating, based entirely on what you report. It does not verify your economics.
Take the free assessment →Paid diagnostic · $6,000
Two weeks of structured work with your data, your leadership interviews, and a focused external read. Findings are evidenced, uncertainties are named, and the output is a decision agenda you can act on with or without further OM work.
Who it is for
A CEO, founder, or business-unit leader with a live concern about customer relevance, pricing pressure, delivery economics, or the returns from current AI initiatives — and a consequential investment or organisational decision ahead that deserves a clearer diagnosis first.
How it works
Fit conversation
A short call to confirm the boundary, the sponsor, and whether a diagnostic is the right instrument. It is not a free bespoke diagnostic.
Kickoff
45 minutes to fix the boundary, the decision in question, and the evidence available.
Evidence
Interviews, review of the agreed source material, and a focused look at competing or substitute offers.
Readout
A 60-minute leadership session on findings, uncertainties, and the decision agenda, followed by one correction round.
Two weeks from receipt of the agreed inputs and interview availability. Delays in client inputs move the schedule.
What you receive
Current-State Business Model Read
Offer, customer value, pricing, delivery, and the principal constraints as they stand today.
Exposure and Opportunity Map
Up to three priorities with the evidence behind them, the assumptions they rest on, and the questions still open.
Economic Baseline
Relevant existing measures and directional scenarios where the inputs support them. Missing data is named, not estimated away.
Preserve / Decommission / Re-author Hypotheses
Initial recommendations for the agreed business boundary.
Executive Decision Agenda
The decisions to make, who needs to be in the room, and a recommendation to proceed, defer, investigate further, or stop.
What we examine
- Whether the customer outcome and the offer remain relevant.
- How the business creates, delivers, and captures value.
- How machine capability and human judgment are currently allocated.
- Whether feedback improves the next cycle of work.
- Pricing, cost-to-serve, and AI costs, to the extent the data supports.
- Ownership, decision rights, and organisational constraints around the priority issue.
These are lenses applied inside the agreed boundary — not six separate audits.
Scope
- One business unit or one coherent offer, and its delivery model.
- One executive sponsor and up to three stakeholder interviews, up to 45 minutes each.
- A 45-minute kickoff to define the boundary, the decision, and the available evidence.
- Review of up to five agreed existing source items: offer and pricing sheet, unit-level P&L, delivery map, current AI initiative list, customer feedback summary.
- A focused desk review of up to three relevant competitors or substitutes, using public information.
- A 60-minute leadership readout.
- One consolidated factual-correction round within five business days of the readout.
Not included
- Primary customer research and full market studies.
- Technical, security, or compliance audits, and data cleanup.
- A fully specified future operating model or implementation work.
- A company-wide transformation roadmap.
- A quantified ROI commitment.
The readout explains the findings. Cross-functional negotiation of the future model belongs in a leadership workshop or a transformation partnership.
Price and completion
$6,000 fixed fee. Two weeks.
Delivery is complete after the readout and the agreed correction round. Leadership understands the priority problem, its evidence and uncertainties, and the next decision. Continuing with OM is optional — an explicit recommendation to defer or stop is a valid outcome.
