You’ve used ChatGPT personally. You suspect AI matters for the company. You don’t know where to start — and the last consultant who promised a “roadmap” gave you a slide deck nobody read. Our 30-day Readiness assessment is built for the opposite outcome: a tight report your operations team can execute against, with the cost of being wrong already priced in.
Every Partnerial engagement runs on a six-stage playbook drawn from twelve established frameworks: COM-B for behavioral diagnosis, Diffusion of Innovations for champion selection, Nudge for default-path design, ADKAR for sequencing change, Kotter for short wins, and Implementation Science to measure whether any of it actually worked. We don’t invent the science. We apply it to AI rollouts in small businesses, where almost no one rigorous is doing the work.
Workflow shadowing, 4–6 staff interviews, light data inventory. We watch the actual work. We don’t ask leading questions.
COM-B diagnosis (where will adoption break — capability, opportunity, or motivation?). AI opportunity ranking. Vendor-landscape scan.
Draft the Readiness Report. Internal review. 90-minute readout with your team. Final report delivered. Done.
Common fits include accounting and insurance firms, engineering and other consulting practices, light manufacturers, and 3PLs — but the methodology applies anywhere a small business has repeatable workflows worth saving. If you’re a 5-person shop or a 500-person enterprise, we’re probably not the right fit. Honest is faster than polite.
If the Readiness Report doesn’t deliver at least three actionable AI opportunities you’d consider funding, we refund 50%. We’re not interested in selling you a deliverable you can’t use.
The 30-day Readiness is an assessment — not implementation. It does not include vendor procurement, custom builds, or pilot execution. If the report surfaces a strong pilot opportunity, the natural next step is the Pilot That Sticks 90-day engagement — which we’ll quote separately based on the pilot’s scope.
