AI audit
AI audit: know what to automate before you invest.
A useful AI audit does not sell a model. It prioritizes measurable processes, guardrails (HITL, allowlist) and a 90-day roadmap your team can run. From €1,500, after a free 20-40 minute call.

Who it's for
- Leaders and ops with many AI ideas and no ranked plan
- Teams with Shadow IT (ChatGPT, copilots) and no policy
- SMEs that want a first agent or pipeline without a 6-month tunnel
- Orgs that need a deliverable fit for leadership review
Not for
- Want a “let’s see” site chatbot with no process or owner
- Need pure AI Act legal audit with no ops track
- Build already scoped (go to agent scoping instead)
Four axes. One actionable deliverable.
A
Maturity & Shadow IT
- · Existing AI usage (tools, volume, risk)
- · Team skills and blockers
- · Simple maturity scoring by team
B
Processes & frictions
- · Map of time-heavy tasks
- · Volumes and measurable success criteria
- · Impact / feasibility / HITL risk matrix
C
Guardrails & data
- · Data, GDPR, tool access
- · Where humans stay decision-makers (allowlist)
- · Risks of auto-publish or auto-write too early
D
90-day roadmap
- · 3-5 prioritized cases (quick wins + structural)
- · Indicative budgets and prerequisites
- · Go / no-go criteria and recommended stack
Deliverables
- AI maturity report (leadership summary)
- Prioritized use-case matrix (impact / feasibility / HITL)
- Stack & integration recommendations
- Allowlist sketch for the first agent or pipeline
- 90-day roadmap with milestones
- Internal reuse-ready readout deck
Typical timeline: 1-3 weeks depending on teams covered

FAQ
What is an AI audit for an SME?
An actionable diagnostic: where you stand (maturity and Shadow IT), which processes deserve an agent or automation, with which guardrails, and in which order (90-day roadmap). Not catalogue training or a gadget PoC.
How much does an AI audit cost?
At kengdev: from €1,500 excl. VAT. Price depends on scope (processes / teams, workshops). Quote is fixed after the free scoping call.
Do we need to already use AI?
No. The audit also maps informal usage (ChatGPT, copilots) to secure it. If there is nothing yet, we start from measurable business frictions.
How is this different from a pure compliance audit?
We cover data and risk, but the core is operational: process, HITL, allowlist, stack and ROI prioritization. For pure AI Act legal work, a specialized firm remains a good complement.
What happens after the audit?
You leave with the deliverables, no lock-in. You can execute in-house, with us (agent, automation, platform) or another vendor. Selection criteria are in the report.
Where does the engagement run?
Based in Bordeaux, work across France remote or on-site as needed. Workshops can be hybrid.
