After the first scoping meeting, we tell you how long the AI Roadmap will take and what it costs.
First step · AI Compass Audit
Where is AI worth introducing in your company, and in what order?
What will you say when the board asks where the company stands with AI?
We review the whole company and tell you in which of its processes AI is worth using, what to start with, and roughly what effort and risk this involves. If it does not pay off somewhere, or simpler automation is enough, we write that down too. So instead of a list of ideas, you can put a decision-ready AI Roadmap in front of the board, one you can also defend.
Who it is for, and when it is worth it
When you are expected to deliver an AI strategy, but nobody knows what pays off
Management is being pushed to have an AI plan, while employees are already using AI tools without approval.
Who it is for
CEOs, CIOs and CFOs at large enterprises where AI affects several areas at once.
When it is worth it
When a successful pilot has stalled because management did not decide on the order, or when every area wants its own AI tool.
What we need from you
A responsible senior executive and a workshop of about three hours per area. For area managers, this means about half a day to a day of work each in total.
What it is not for
It does not implement anything, does not choose a platform or vendor, and gives no legal advice. If you would like to assess the manual work of a mid-sized company, the Situation Assessment is the right fit.
Does this sound familiar?
When AI is on everyone’s agenda, but there is no order
We hear these sentences from CEOs, CIOs and digital leaders.
Control
Responsibility without authority
“I can initiate a lot and enforce little.”
Head of innovation and digital, large enterprise
Diverging demands
Every area wants its own AI tool
“Every area wants something different, and I have to integrate it.”
CIO, large enterprise
In front of the board
There is no finished AI plan to present
“The board will ask what we are doing with AI.”
CEO, large enterprise
The budget
Nothing to back up the budget with
“In every planning round I have to defend my budget all over again.”
Head of innovation and digital, large enterprise
If something goes wrong
Nobody can see who uses which AI tool
“If something goes wrong, IT gets the blame.”
CIO, large enterprise
Data security
Company data ends up in public AI tools
“There shouldn’t be a data leak on my watch.”
CEO, large enterprise
Does this sound familiar?
If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk through what the AI Compass Audit would show at your company.
What you get at the end
An AI Roadmap you can put in front of the board
At the end you do not get a generic strategy, but the order of feasible steps, with the order of magnitude of the resources needed. For the quick wins, we also work out the first step, with an owner and a metric.
If you order it together with Data & AI Governance, you also get an oversight proposal package: a risk class, controls and an owner for every proposed use.
- 01A classified process list: where AI pays off, where simpler automation is enough, and what is not worth touching now
- 02One-page opportunity cards: the expected benefit from the company’s own figures, with a cautious estimate
- 03A risk rating for every opportunity: data protection, the AI Act
- 04A priority matrix based on five criteria: business value, feasibility, time and resources, risk, strategic fit
- 05AI Roadmap: order, dependencies, prerequisites and the order of magnitude of resources, with worked-out first steps for the quick wins
- 06Management summary and presentation
How it runs
4-12 weeks, depending on the number of processes
01
Process list and screening
We start from the existing process map, and if there is none, we capture the processes through interviews. On two processes, we check how well the description matches the daily work. The first result, the classified process list, is ready after 2-3 weeks.
02
Survey and workshops
Employees fill in a 10-15 minute survey. For each area, we hold a workshop of about three hours with the area manager and two to four colleagues.
03
Opportunity cards
Every opportunity goes on a one-page card with standard fields: how much it brings, how big its risk is, how much time and resources it needs, and where it should run.
04
Ranking and AI Roadmap
We rank in a priority matrix, hand over the AI Roadmap, and present it to management.
Price
A price after the first scoping meeting
We calculate the fee based on working days. We give you the price once we can see at the first scoping meeting how many processes we need to review. We invoice by milestone, after the result has been accepted, and after the first milestone you can exit without giving a reason.
Frequently asked questions
What leaders usually ask about the AI Compass Audit
Why is there no fixed price?
Because we calculate the fee based on working days, and the amount of work depends on how many processes we need to review. We give you the price after the first scoping meeting.
Who do we need to involve from the company?
A responsible senior executive, the area manager and two to four colleagues per area for the workshop, and employees for a 10-15 minute survey. For area managers, this means about half a day to a day of work each in total.
Does it also deal with AI tools used without approval?
The audit classifies the risk of the proposed uses, according to data protection rules and the AI Act. The rules for AI use, such as the internal policy, are not provided by the audit but by Data & AI Governance. We do not give legal advice.
Do you implement anything during the audit?
No. At the end of the audit you receive the AI Roadmap and the worked-out first steps for the quick wins. Implementation starts with a separate decision, and can be carried out with any vendor.
Do you have references?
We publish named cases with the client’s permission.

Not the right fit? You can also start this way
AI Pilot
If you already know which specific problem you would test AI on, and with what measurable goal.
Situation Assessment
If you would first like to assess where most time goes on manual work. HUF 199,000 + VAT.
Which one should you start with?
The four options side by side: which one is right in which situation.
