AI Audit Workflow for Small Teams: Score Risk, Value, and Readiness
A practical AI audit system for ranking opportunities and reducing rollout risk.
AI Audit Workflow for Small Teams: Score Risk, Value, and Readiness
AI projects fail when teams jump into implementation without a baseline risk and readiness check.
Start with an operational baseline
Run the AI Readiness Audit and document:
- current process quality
- data reliability
- owner accountability
- known compliance risks
This creates a practical starting point.
Score opportunities with risk and value together
Evaluate each candidate workflow on two axes:
- business value
- implementation risk
High value and low-to-medium risk should move first.
Pair audit output with maturity scoring
Use AI Maturity Assessment to calibrate rollout pace and governance depth.
Convert shortlisted opportunities into ROI decisions
Before kickoff, model expected gains with Automation ROI Calculator.
The point of an audit is not documentation. It is better sequencing.
