What you walk away with

Thirty minutes, three answers

Where the hours go

A map of the repetitive work eating your team's week — the workflows where an agent does the job instead of helping with it.

What's worth automating

The two or three workflows where Installed AI actually pays for itself — and, just as honestly, the ones where it doesn't.

A real number

A scoped quote, priced to the outcome — something you can put next to a salary or an agency retainer and decide with.

From the call to a working system

The audit is step zero of The AI Install — Bardo’s four-stage method: Diagnose (week 1), Design (weeks 1–2), Deploy (weeks 3–6), and Operate (ongoing). Typically live in 4–8 weeks, then Bardo keeps running it. If you don’t go, you keep the map and the number — no hard feelings.

The AI readiness audit: FAQs

What is an AI readiness audit?
A free 30-minute call that maps where AI agents would actually pay for themselves in your business. You walk through where your team's hours go; Bardo identifies the two or three workflows where an installed agent makes sense, and returns a real, scoped quote — not a generic pitch.
Is the 30-minute AI audit really free?
Yes. The audit is free and it is the same first step for every engagement — every Bardo project starts with it. You leave with the workflow map and the quote either way.
What do I need to prepare?
Nothing formal. Knowing where your team's time goes — the repetitive work, the backlogs, the things that always slip — is enough. The call does the rest.
What happens after the audit?
If there's a fit and you want to proceed, the audit flows straight into The AI Install: Diagnose (week 1), Design (weeks 1–2), Deploy (weeks 3–6), and Operate (ongoing). It ends with a working system in your business, not a slide deck. If not, you keep the map and the number.
Do we need technical staff for this?
No. Bardo is built for companies without engineering teams: agents are built around the tools you already use, installed on your systems, and run for you.
Is this a sales call?
It's a working session that ends in a concrete answer: which workflows are worth automating and what that would cost, scoped to your business. Whether to act on it is entirely your call.

Thirty minutes. A real answer.

Where your hours go, what’s worth automating, and what it would cost — scoped to your business, free.
