An Augustova AI adoption audit is a fixed scope review, priced at £2,500 to £6,000 and delivered in one to two weeks, that identifies where AI will genuinely pay back in your operation and produces a written roadmap, an ROI model and a prioritised backlog you keep whether or not you build with us. We deliver this for businesses in Camden and across North London.

How this usually starts in Camden
The audit here often finds the highest return sits in administration rather than in the technical work, which is rarely what people expect to be told.
Why Camden businesses ask for this
Camden runs from the knowledge quarter around King's Cross through Euston and Bloomsbury, holding life sciences, education, technology and media within a few streets of each other. Organisations here are frequently research led with very small operational teams behind them.
Research led organisations put every available hour into the work and almost none into the operation around it. The fastest return here is administrative rather than scientific, which is not what people expect to hear.

What you receive
✓A written report on how your operation actually runs, not how the org chart says it does
✓Opportunities ranked by return, each with an indicative price and timeline
✓An ROI model per opportunity, with the assumptions visible so you can argue with them
✓A prioritised backlog specific enough to build from
✓A recommendation on what to do first, and what to leave alone
✓The document itself, yours to take to any supplier including one that is not us
What this does not include
✗A slide deck that describes possibilities without prices
✗A recommendation to build something because we would like to build it
✗Implementation, which is quoted separately once the scope exists
Signs this is the right call
You have a budget for AI and no agreed first project
A supplier has quoted and you have no way to sanity check the number
Several teams are each experimenting and nobody is comparing results
Where projects like this go wrong
Strategy with no price attached
A roadmap without numbers cannot be approved or refused. Every opportunity in the report carries an indicative cost, a timeline and the payback assumption, so the decision can actually be made in the room.
Auditing the process nobody uses
Documented procedure and daily reality diverge, usually quietly. We interview the people doing the work rather than the people who own the diagram, which is where the expensive habits turn up.
The answer is always yes
An adviser paid to find AI opportunities will find them. If the honest recommendation is to fix a process, buy something off the shelf or do nothing this year, that is what the report says.
Common questions
What is an AI readiness or adoption audit?
A fixed scope review of how your operation actually runs. It covers stakeholder interviews, a data audit, a map of the opportunities ranked by return, and a roadmap from proof of concept to production, delivered as a written document rather than a presentation.
What do we actually receive at the end?
A written report and roadmap, an ROI model for each opportunity, a prioritised backlog, and a recommendation on what to do first. It is yours to keep and to take to any supplier, including one that is not us.
Can you tell us what our existing AI features cost to run?
Yes, and this is the part most firms cannot do. We instrument cost down to the individual request, attributed to a customer, a feature and a model, then set spending ceilings that have been watched actually firing in production rather than assumed to work.
How is this different from a strategy deck?
A deck describes what could be done. This produces a scope specific enough to build from, with prices and timelines attached. If the answer is that nothing is worth building yet, that is a valid outcome and it is written down plainly.
