Data Readiness Audit

Find out what you're really working with.

This is where almost every engagement starts. I assess your current data environment — systems, pipelines, integrations, and the technical debt sitting quietly underneath all of it — and tell you, in plain terms, what's standing between you and a usable AI-ready foundation.

What you get

  • A clear-eyed map of your current data ecosystem
  • Identification of legacy systems and technical debt creating risk
  • A practical, prioritized view of what to fix first — and what can wait

Best for: Firms who suspect their data foundation has problems but don't yet know the shape or size of them.

02 — FOCUSED INVESTIGATION

Legacy & Technical Debt Forensics

For the systems nobody wants to open.

Every organization has at least one system that "just works" — until it doesn't, and nobody left on staff remembers why it was built that way. This engagement is a focused, judgment-free investigation into those systems: what they're doing, what depends on them, and what risk they're quietly carrying.

What you get

  • An inventory of legacy systems and undocumented dependencies
  • A risk assessment — what breaks, and what it would take to fix it
  • Documentation your team can actually use going forward

Best for: Firms with specific legacy systems or data sources that feel like a liability, even if no one can quite say why.

03 — THE PATH FORWARD

AI-Readiness Strategy & Roadmap

A plan that fits your company — not a vendor's pitch deck.

Once you know where you stand, the next question is how to move forward — and how fast. I build a phased roadmap that accounts for your budget, your existing IT staff, your company culture, and how much change your organization can absorb at once. Often, that means starting with a small dataset as a proof of concept, so you can build internal buy-in before committing to a wider rollout.

What you get

  • A build-vs-buy, cloud-vs-on-premise recommendation grounded in your constraints
  • A phased rollout plan, sequenced for low risk and early wins
  • A proof-of-concept approach to ease internal adoption
What this isn't: I advise and architect — your team or chosen vendors build. I don't take on implementation work.

Best for: Firms who have clarity on the problem and need a credible, vendor-agnostic plan to act on it.
