Know exactly where Claude creates value before you commit to building anything.
A fixed-fee, one to two week engagement that ends with four things in your hands: a prioritised use-case map, a readiness review, a governance model and a costed implementation plan. Whatever you decide next, the deliverables are yours to keep.
of organisations are investing in AI, but only 1% feel their investment has reached maturity. The gap is almost never the technology. It is skipped foundations.
of AI projects never reach production. The assessment exists to make sure yours is in the other 13%, by starting with the right use case on ready foundations.
from kickoff to a board-ready plan. Fixed fee. No open-ended discovery, no drift, no commitment beyond the assessment itself.
The assessment is the same disciplined first step whichever Anthropic first-party solution you are exploring, Financial Services, Small Business, Legal, Healthcare or Security. We tailor the depth and the compliance focus to your sector, but the promise is constant: you finish with a clear, costed, governed plan and the confidence that your first build will reach production.
1.
A prioritised use-case map
Your highest-value Claude opportunities from the relevant first-party solution, ranked by business impact and feasibility for your specific organisation. We tell you not just what is possible, but what to do first and why.
Built from workshops with your team, scored against impact, data-readiness and risk. Usually three to six candidate use cases, with one clear recommendation.
2.
A readiness review
An honest, documented assessment of whether your data, systems and processes can support Claude acting reliably. We tell you what is ready now and exactly what needs closing first. No false confidence, no surprises in month two.
Covers data quality, system connectivity through MCP, and where applicable an organisational readiness score across the dimensions that determine success.
3.
A governance model
Access control, audit, human-in-the-loop oversight and the compliance architecture your sector requires, designed for your environment. A document your risk, compliance or legal function can review and sign before anything is built.
Sector-specific: a HIPAA architecture and BAA review for healthcare, a bar-compliance model for legal, a token-cost and triage design for security, an approval-gate design for finance.
4.
A fixed-fee implementation plan
A costed, scoped Statement of Work for your first use case, with a defined go-live date and success metrics agreed up front. Ready to take straight to budget approval. You know what it costs and what it delivers before you say yes.
Fixed fee, not time-and-materials. The success metrics in the SOW are the ones we measure the implementation against. No ambiguity, no scope creep.
Four deliverables. All yours to keep, whatever you decide next.
These are not slides that summarise a conversation. They are working documents your team can act on, take to your board, or hand to another partner if you choose. The value is in your hands before any further commitment.

We learn how your work actually gets done
Workshops with the people who do the work and the leaders who sponsor the change. We map the workflows, surface the pain points, and identify where Claude would create the most value with the least risk.
- Stakeholder workshops across the function and its leadership
- Data and systems readiness review
- Use-case identification and scoring
We hand you a plan you can act on
We design the governance model, scope the first use case, model the cost, and package everything into the four deliverables. We present them to your team and walk you through the recommended path to production.
- Governance and compliance architecture design
- First use-case scoping and cost model
- Findings presentation and implementation SOW
Fixed fee, scoped by sector. No surprises.
The assessment is always a fixed fee agreed before we begin. The range reflects the depth of compliance and architecture work each sector requires. We confirm your exact fee on the scoping call.
| Solution Area | Assessment Fee | What Drives the Range |
|---|---|---|
| Financial Services | $8,000 to $10,000 | Workflow complexity and number of source systems to review. |
| Small Business (Setup and Go) | $2,500 to $4,500 | A lighter, faster track: scoping call plus a five-day setup, not a two-week assessment. |
| Legal | $18,000 to $28,000 | Bar-compliance governance model and legal-tech stack compatibility review. |
| Healthcare & Life Sciences | $25,000 to $40,000 | HIPAA architecture, PHI flow mapping and Compliance Officer sign-off. |
| Security | $18,000 to $28,000 | SDLC integration design, triage workflow and token-cost modelling. |
The implementation that follows is quoted separately in the assessment’s fixed-fee SOW, so you decide on the next step with full cost visibility. There is no obligation to proceed.
The assessment is insurance against an expensive AI mistake.
The most expensive AI projects are the ones that build the wrong thing, on data that was not ready, without governance, and then stall before production. The assessment costs a fraction of an implementation and removes exactly those risks.
You build the right thing first
We identify the use case with the best ratio of value to feasibility, so your first build is the one most likely to succeed and to justify the next.
You know your foundations are ready
No discovering mid-build that the data cannot support the agent. The readiness review surfaces the gaps while they are still cheap to close.
Your risk function is on board early
The governance model is designed and signed before the build, not bolted on after. Compliance becomes an enabler rather than a late veto.
Start with a 30-minute scoping call.
Tell us a little about your organisation and where you think Claude could help. We will be in touch within two business days to schedule a scoping call and confirm your fixed-fee assessment.
What happens next
We reach out within two business days to schedule a 30-minute scoping call at a time that suits you.
On the call we confirm scope and send a fixed-fee assessment proposal within 48 hours.
The assessment runs one to two weeks and ends with all four deliverables in your hands.
