Service 01 — Assessment

Know where AI can help — before you spend a dollar.

Q: Who needs to be involved from our side?

Typically an executive sponsor, a few department leaders and whoever manages your IT. If Solvere One already manages your environment, much of the technical discovery is handled by its team.

Q: Do we need to have AI tools already?

No. Many organizations start before buying anything, which is the ideal time. Others are already experimenting and want to make sure they are doing it safely.

Q: What happens after the assessment?

You own the roadmap. Many clients continue into AI Solution Strategy, Secure Implementation and Governance & Training.

We start by evaluating how your organization collects, manages, and uses data today. Before recommending any AI tool, we identify where your real opportunities live — and where gaps in data quality, governance, or security need to be addressed first.

Why readiness comes first

Most AI projects don't fail on the AI. They fail on the data.

AI is only as good — and as safe — as the information it can reach. Skipping readiness is how organizations end up with confident-sounding wrong answers, exposed files, and a pilot nobody trusts.

AI amplifies data problems

Duplicate records, outdated documents and inconsistent definitions don't disappear when you add AI — they get repeated faster, with more confidence, to more people.

ii.

Oversharing becomes visible

AI assistants surface whatever a user technically has access to. Years of loose permissions on shared drives and sites can turn into an instant data exposure.

iii.

The wrong first bet is costly

Choosing the flashiest use case instead of the most valuable one burns budget and momentum. Readiness tells you which bet to make first — and why.

What we measure

Six dimensions of AI readiness.

We score your organization across six dimensions and compare where you are today with where you need to be for the AI opportunities that matter most to you.

Illustrative current stateTarget for AI adoption

Data quality DIM 01Accuracy, completeness, duplication and consistency of the data AI will rely on.

Governance DIM 02Ownership, definitions, retention and the policies that keep data trustworthy over time.

Security & access DIM 03Who can reach what — permissions, oversharing, MFA and where sensitive data such as CUI and PII lives.

Infrastructure DIM 04Cloud tenant configuration, licensing, integrations and whether your platforms can support AI securely.

Skills & culture DIM 05How prepared your people are to use AI well, and how open the organization is to new ways of working.

Use-case clarity DIM 06How clearly you've defined the business problems AI should solve and how success will be measured.

What's included

A complete picture, not a sales report.

Every assessment combines stakeholder interviews with hands-on technical discovery, so recommendations reflect how your organization actually works.

Data inventory & flow mapping

Where your data lives, how it moves between systems, and who relies on it — documented in a clear map.

Data quality scoring

An objective look at accuracy, completeness and consistency in the sources that matter most for AI.

Governance & ownership review

Data owners, definitions, retention and policies — and the gaps that need closing before AI goes live.

Security & access baseline

Permissions, oversharing, MFA coverage and the location of sensitive data such as CUI, PII and financial records.

Platform & licensing readiness

Tenant configuration, licensing, integrations and infrastructure — what's ready, and what needs work.

AI opportunity map & roadmap

Use cases scored by value, effort and risk, sequenced into a practical roadmap with clear next steps.

How it works

Thorough, non-disruptive, and fast to value.

We work around your team's schedule. Most discovery happens behind the scenes, with focused conversations where your people's insight matters most.

Kickoff & interviews

We meet with leadership and key department heads to understand goals, pain points and the decisions AI should support.

Technical discovery

Non-disruptive review of your systems, data stores, permissions and security configuration.

Analysis & scoring

We score all six readiness dimensions and evaluate each candidate use case for value, effort and risk.

Executive readout

A clear presentation of findings, a prioritized roadmap and the specific steps to get AI-ready.

Assessment FAQ

Good questions to ask.

Who needs to be involved from our side?

Typically an executive sponsor, a few department leaders who know where the pain points are, and whoever manages your IT. If Solvere One already manages your environment, much of the technical discovery is handled by our team with minimal demands on yours.

Will the assessment disrupt our operations?

No. Technical discovery is read-only and non-disruptive, and interviews are scheduled around your team. Most organizations barely notice the assessment until the readout.

Do we need to have AI tools already?

Not at all. Many organizations come to us before buying anything — which is the ideal time. Others are already experimenting and want to make sure they are doing it safely. The assessment adds value either way.

What happens after the assessment?

You own the roadmap. Many clients continue with us into AI Solution Strategy, Secure Implementation and Governance & Training — but the findings are yours to act on however you choose.
