What an AI assessment actually does
An AI assessment is a structured audit that maps every workflow in your business, identifies which ones are worth automating, and produces a sequenced build plan with cost estimates for each.
Most businesses skip this step and buy tools first. The result is fragmented software, duplicate data entry, and automation that only covers 20% of the problem. An assessment runs before any software purchase.
Before you commit to any build, a live demo agent runs against a workflow like yours, so you see the work happening instead of reading about it. You leave with a dollar-cost ranking of every automation candidate and a build order you can act on immediately or in six months.
Three deliverables in two weeks
- 1.Workflow audit — every process mapped, inefficiencies flagged
- 2.Dollar-cost ranking — each automation scored by ROI, time saved, and build complexity
- 3.Roadmap with exact quotes — a prioritized build sequence with dollar costs and timelines
Tech-stack compatibility, risk, and ownership analysis feed into deliverables 1–3 rather than appearing as separate line items. See full assessment details.
This assessment is built for 4-to-15 person businesses
The AI Workflow Assessment is structured for owner-led professional services firms — law practices, accounting firms, architecture studios, consulting groups — and trades operations with 4 to 15 staff. These are businesses where the owner makes the technology call, the workflows are documented enough to audit, and the budget to implement something real is already allocated.
If you run a 2-to-3 person firm and are not yet billing at a rate that supports a $7,500+ build, the assessment is still useful — you get the roadmap. Whether you build with DeployLabs or use it to brief another contractor is your call.
If you run an enterprise or are dealing with procurement committees, this is not the right fit. Our process requires direct access to the owner or operations lead.
$2,500 CAD — credited toward your build
The assessment fee is $2,500 CAD. If you proceed to a build, that $2,500 credits in full against the project cost — you do not pay for the assessment twice.
Market rate for comparable AI scoping and planning work runs $3,000 to $12,000 at comparable firms (Advantech ITS). The assessment is priced at the floor of that range because the assessment earns the build engagement — the scoping work itself is not the business. View full pricing.

How is this different from a free consultation?+
The scoping call (free, 30 minutes) confirms whether your business and workflows are a fit for the assessment. The AI Workflow Assessment is the paid engagement — two weeks of structured analysis and three deliverables: systems review, dollar-mapped workflows, and a build roadmap with exact quotes. They are sequential: scoping call first, assessment only if we both agree it is the right next step.
How long does the assessment take?+
Two weeks from the kickoff call. We schedule a workflow walkthrough in week one, run the analysis and cost every automation in week two, and deliver everything at the end of week two.
What happens after the assessment?+
You receive the three deliverables and own all of them outright. From there, you choose: proceed to a build with DeployLabs (the $2,500 credit applies), take the roadmap to another contractor, or implement internally. There is no obligation to continue and no retainer requirement.
Do I need to know anything about AI before the assessment?+
No. The assessment is designed for business owners who understand their operations but have not implemented AI before. We ask about your workflows. Tech stack details are secondary — if you use email and spreadsheets, that is enough context for us to work with.

We confirm whether the assessment makes sense for your business before you commit. If it does not, we will tell you — and point you to something that does.
