Data & AI Opportunity Audit

Know exactly what to fix, build, automate, or ignore. In two to four weeks.

For founders who know their data and AI are getting messy but can’t yet see where it’s costing them. A short, focused review that ends with a clear, ranked plan, not a longer to-do list.

What’s usually broken

The data exists, but no two teams agree on the numbers. There’s a list of AI ideas and no clear way to rank them. And the biggest call, what to build first, keeps getting made on gut feel. You don’t need more tools. You need to know which two or three moves actually matter.

Data before AI

AI only works on top of data you can trust.

I start with the business decision, then check whether the data, metrics and operating logic underneath it are strong enough to support AI.

01

Business question

What decision needs to get better?

02

Data foundation

Clean events, definitions and ownership

03

Trusted signal

Metrics and models people believe

04

Decision system

Rules, scores and actions that repeat

05

AI leverage

Automate once the logic is sound

FoundationAI comes last because it amplifies the decision logic already underneath it.Leverage
What you get

Every idea sorted by value and readiness.

You don’t leave with a list of AI ideas. You leave knowing what to build now, what to set up for later, and what to drop.

High business valueLow value
Strategic bets
Worth it, but not ready. Set up the basics first.
Build now
Worth it and ready. Start here.
Ignore / park
Low value and not ready. Easy to say no.
Quick wins
Easy, but low value. Do it only if it’s cheap.
Low readinessHigh readiness
What I do in those weeks
Short interviews with the people who own growth, product, and the data.
A scan of your actual data, metrics, and definitions, where they agree and where they don’t.
List every AI and data idea, then rank each one by value and readiness.
Write up the ranked plan and walk your leadership team through it.
What you walk away with
A written report on the two or three most useful things to do next.
Your AI ideas sorted on the priority matrix.
An honest read on where your numbers stop being trustworthy.
One 90-minute session with your leadership team to agree on the plan.
What this is not
Not a dashboard build or a tooling project.
Not a fifty-page deck you’ll never reread.
Not a vendor or model recommendation in disguise.
When founders call me for this
“We have a dozen AI ideas and no idea which one to build.”
“Every team reports a different number and I can’t tell who’s right.”
“We’re about to hire a data lead and want to scope the role first.”
