ZeroIndex
00 / Audit
AI Audit.
A 2–3 week, fixed-fee assessment of where AI actually pays off in your business — and where it doesn’t. You leave with a prioritized, costed roadmap and an opinionated build-or-buy call. Not a sales deck.
Why an audit
Most teams are stuck between AI hype and AI paralysis.
Pilots stall. Tools get bought and abandoned. Nobody can say which use cases are real ROI and which are noise. You don’t need another demo — you need a prioritized, costed plan grounded in how your team actually works, and an honest answer about what isn’t worth doing. That’s the audit.
What you get
What you walk away with.
01 / Ranked shortlist
Prioritized by impact × effort
Every opportunity scored on impact versus effort, so the high-return, low-risk wins are obvious — and the distractions are named.
02 / Deep dives
Three solutions, costed
For your best three opportunities, a concrete solution sketch and a real ROI estimate — in hours and dollars saved.
03 / Readiness check
Honest gap analysis
A clear-eyed look at your data, tools, process, and risk — so there are no surprises when it’s time to build.
04 / Roadmap
A phased plan
Quick wins first, larger bets later — with effort and cost ranges for each step, and an opinionated build-or-buy call.
05 / Readout
Live readout & report
A 60-minute walkthrough with your team, plus a written report you own and can act on with anyone — including another vendor.
Use cases
Where teams usually start.
The kinds of opportunities an audit tends to surface — high-volume, repetitive work where AI pays off fast.
00 / Documents
Document-heavy work
Contracts, invoices, forms, and reports — reading, extracting, and checking the paperwork that eats your team’s hours.
01 / Triage
Email & request triage
Classifying, routing, and drafting responses to the steady inflow of requests, tickets, and inbound that someone sorts by hand today.
02 / Knowledge
Scattered knowledge
Turning policies, manuals, and past work spread across drives and inboxes into answers your team can find in seconds.
How it works
Two to three weeks, fully remote.
The only ask of your team is a few short interviews.
00 / Week 1
Kickoff & interviews
Align on goals, then talk to the people who do the work to map how things run today.
01 / Weeks 2–3
Analysis & ROI modeling
Score the opportunities, model the returns, and build the phased roadmap.
02 / Readout
Walkthrough & report
A live readout with your team and a written report you keep — yours to act on with anyone.
Investment
Fixed fee. No hourly surprises.
One agreed price for the whole engagement — and it’s 100% credited toward implementation if you build with ZeroIndex within 60 days. The audit de-risks the decision before you commit to a build.
