The form takes ten minutes. No charge and no obligation. Sensitive code can wait for the NDA that comes with the scope.
Rather talk than type? Let’s talk.
Got it. The two-day clock just started.
The answer comes from phil@innovationtheory.com. Add it to your contacts, and if you haven’t heard anything by day two, check spam before you write us off.
What happens now
Phil and the team read what you sent. A person reads what you send and answers for it. Within two days you get your answer in writing: what holds, what doesn’t, and what it’s worth spending next. If we need longer, you’ll hear from us before day two.
A free AI readiness assessment is Innovation Theory’s first step for any project, AI or not: you send what you have, an idea, a deck, a demo or a system already running, say where it hurts, and within two days you get a straight answer in writing. It costs $0, needs no NDA to start, and code is welcome but never required. Never send credentials. The answer says what holds, what does not, and what it is worth spending next, which is sometimes nothing, and it is yours to keep.
Whether a business is ready for AI depends on the job, not the company: work that repeats, data someone can reach, and a person who owns the result. Send the job you have in mind and the free assessment answers it in writing within two days: where AI fits, where it does not, and what it is worth spending next. Sometimes the answer is not yet, and that answer is free too.
Automate first the workflow that repeats every week, follows rules a person could write down, and costs real hours when it slips. Rare, judgment-heavy work goes last. If you have a list, send it with the free assessment, and the written answer says which one to start with, which to leave alone, and why.
No. The free assessment runs on context: what it does, what built it, where it hurts. If you want us to look at code, send it and we will. It’s never required. Sensitive code can wait for the NDA that comes with the scope.
Phil and the team do. No subcontractors, no outsourced reviewers. The assessment does not rely on AI: the reading and the judgment are ours. Nothing you send is used to train anything.
The free assessment takes an idea, a roadmap or a page of notes. Nothing has to be built yet. You’ll hear what proving it would take, and whether it looks worth proving, before anyone spends a dollar building it.
An inherited system is exactly what the free assessment is for. A lot of this work arrives after the original builder has gone. We tell you what the system does, what it needs, and who should own it.
The NDA arrives with the scope, signed before any sensitive code moves. The free assessment is designed not to need one: you keep the sensitive parts, and you still get your answer. If your situation needs paper sooner, say so in the form and we’ll sort it out.
Plain language you could forward to a board, not a pitch. It includes a straight read on what it will really cost to go live and keep running, and where we can help. If you need it signed and bounded for the record, that’s what the AI Opportunity Audit is for: a separate $5,000 step with evidence, ranked findings, go or no-go, in writing. If the honest answer is that you don’t need us, that’s the answer you get.
The assessment is $0, always, and it isn’t a coupon for the next thing. If the answer is stop, or ship it yourself, or don’t build it at all, that’s the whole transaction. When something is worth proving, the AI Opportunity Audit is $5,000 and takes up to five business days, priced to stand alone: yours to take anywhere, including to someone else’s build team.
The form takes a few minutes, and only your name and email are required. The answer comes back within two days of sending it. If something makes us need longer, you hear that before the deadline, not after it.
We do not judge how the system got here. Our recommendations follow the evidence, including when the answer is no.
