AI Data Readiness Assessment
85% of AI projects fail because of data — not technology. We assess your Microsoft data estate and build a clear roadmap to AI readiness.
The Challenge
Your organisation has invested in AI and data tools, but the results aren't there yet:
- ✗You've invested in Copilot licenses but adoption is low — your data is disorganised, outdated, or has permission issues
- ✗AI pilot projects keep stalling because the underlying data quality isn't there
- ✗You know data governance matters but don't know where to start or what 'good' looks like
- ✗Leadership is asking about AI ROI but you can't demonstrate value because the foundations aren't in place
- ✗42% of companies abandoned most AI initiatives in 2025 — you don't want to be next

Before investing another pound in AI tools, ensure your data foundations are solid. An AI Data Readiness Assessment gives you a clear, honest picture of where you stand and what needs to happen before AI can deliver real value.
What We Assess
1. Data Availability & Discovery
Can your AI tools find and access the data they need? We audit data sources, catalogues, and discoverability across your Microsoft estate.
2. Data Quality & Integrity
Is your data accurate, complete, consistent, and timely? We profile your key datasets and quantify quality issues that will undermine AI results.
3. Data Governance & Security
Permissions, sensitivity labels, DLP policies, and compliance. We assess your governance posture using Microsoft Purview and M365 security tools.
4. Infrastructure & Architecture
Is your data platform AI-ready? We evaluate your Microsoft Fabric, Azure, and M365 architecture against AI-readiness benchmarks.
5. Organisation & Culture
Does your team have the AI literacy and processes to adopt? We assess data culture, skills gaps, and change readiness.
