Solution
A repeatable audit process with a standard questionnaire, process review, tool inventory and a clear written roadmap delivered within a fixed timeframe.
Target customer
Owner-led businesses with 10–200 staff.
Role of technology / AI
Software supports intake, analysis and report generation; AI assists in drafting recommendations.
Business model
Fixed-fee audits with optional implementation follow-on.
MVP scope
Questionnaire, interview template, report template and three pilot audits.
Technology stack
Forms, document generation and a simple client portal.
Opportunity
Clear, bounded offer that is easy to buy and builds a pipeline for larger work.
Risks and challenges
Scaling depends on people; perceived as generic if not tailored; pricing pressure.
