The Before Build Assessment — Ordis Advisory
03

The Before Build Assessment

A fixed-fee engagement. Defined scope, defined deliverable, defined price, set to match the size and complexity of your business. The easy first yes, and the foundation for everything that comes after.

1

Objectives

Interviews with owners and leadership to establish what the business is actually trying to achieve, and where they already sense an opportunity.

60–90 MIN PER LEADER
2

Validate

A second, shorter round with the people doing the work day to day. The gap between how leadership describes a process and how it actually runs is usually where the opportunity sits.

30–45 MIN, ROUND TWO
3

Deliver

A prioritized list of AI opportunities, ranked by impact and costed against effort, plus a roadmap of what to do first, what to defer, and what to stop.

The alternative isn’t “no AI”

Do nothing

Competitors compound the advantage, and the shadow adoption already happening inside the business stays unmanaged.

Let staff experiment

Unaligned, ungoverned, and invisible on the P&L. Risk with nothing to show for it, whether or not you’re in a regulated industry.

Hire a dev shop

They build what’s asked for. Nobody is checking whether it should be built at all.

A large consultancy

Priced for a business ten times this size, and the output is a strategy deck with no operator behind it.

Ordis Advisory

An operator’s judgment on which two things are worth doing, and which eight aren’t.
