Example report
See how exposed your business really is
Your report scores five pillars, shows where the risk is concentrated, and ranks what to fix first. A higher score means more exposure. The values below are illustrative.

The five pillars we score
Sixteen questions across five pillars, drawn from real workflow automation and AI agent implementations.
Every disruption risk is an opportunity someone else will take
The processes an AI-enabled competitor could undercut are exactly the ones you could automate first. The report shows both sides.
Manual processes
Quoting, onboarding, scheduling, reporting. Anything a person does the same way every week is the first thing a competitor automates.
Customer experience
Slow responses, out-of-hours gaps and generic follow-ups are where AI-enabled rivals win customers you already have.
AI agents and automation
The fix is usually an integrated automation or agent on your own data, not a generic chatbot. See what that looks like in practice.

No. A high score means more exposure, which is useful to know 12 to 18 months ahead. Most of the risks the report flags are also the cheapest processes to automate, and the recommendations tell you where to start.
