Built for leaders ready to move.
The audit delivers the most value when your organization has documented workflows and leadership buy-in for operational improvement.
Who This Is For
SMB & Mid-Market
Companies with $1M–$50M revenue considering AI adoption but uncertain where to start or how to prioritize.

Documented Workflows
Most valuable when your team has documented processes, SOPs, or repeatable workflows that can be analyzed and optimized.

What does the AI Operations Audit include?
A comprehensive 14-day assessment of your operations to identify AI implementation opportunities. Deliverables: 15-20 page workflow audit, prioritized AI opportunity matrix, phased implementation roadmap, vendor shortlist with comparisons, ROI projections per recommendation, and an executive presentation deck.
How much does the AI Operations Audit cost?
$1,500 to $5,000 depending on company complexity. The fee is fully credited toward implementation if you engage NextCTL within 90 days. Companies that don't engage us still walk away with a complete implementation strategy they can execute themselves or with another vendor.
How long does the audit take?
14 calendar days. Days 1-3: stakeholder interviews, system access, baseline data. Days 4-7: workflow analysis and opportunity identification. Days 8-10: ROI modeling and vendor research. Days 11-12: roadmap development. Day 13: internal QA. Day 14: client presentation.
Do I have to engage NextCTL after the audit?
No. The audit is designed as standalone strategic value. About 60% of audit clients choose to engage us for implementation. The other 40% implement with internal teams or other vendors. Either way, you walk away with a complete strategy.
Who should consider this audit?
SMB and mid-market companies ($1M-$50M revenue) considering AI adoption but uncertain where to start. Decision-makers should include the CEO, COO, or operations leader. The audit is most valuable when your team has documented workflows that can be analyzed.
How does the implementation credit work?
100% of your audit fee is credited toward any NextCTL implementation contract signed within 90 days of audit delivery. So if you pay $3,000 for an audit and engage us for an $18,000 AI Voice Agent build, you pay $15,000 for the buildthe audit is effectively free.
What if my business isn't ready for AI?
That's a valid finding. Sometimes the audit recommendation is "not yethere's what to do first." Common pre-AI work: data hygiene, process documentation, integration cleanup. We tell you the truth about readiness, not just sell you an implementation.
