Consultation
PRICED AFTER THE CONSULTATION · REFUNDED WITH THE PILOT

A process audit you can base a decision on

A proper audit is not an hour-long chat. It's access to data, interviews with your team and costing the process from the inside. That's why it's paid — and why the result is something you can put in front of the board, not just a sales conversation. We don't quote up front, because it depends on how much there is to examine.

What it costs

We quote after the consultation

The workload depends on how much there is to examine — so we agree the scope and the price on a free 30-minute call.

What affects the price
  • the number of processes to examine
  • the number of systems and whether they have APIs
  • how available data and people are on your side
  • whether the compliance layer is needed
What is certain
  • a fixed price given before we start
  • no hourly billing along the way
  • the amount comes back in full with the pilot
  • the report is yours whatever you decide

Why it's paid

Because it takes access and time

A data sample, interviews with the people who know the process from the inside, a review of your systems. That can't be done in an hour.

Because it filters

Companies that order a paid audit are genuinely considering a change. That lets us give them as much attention as the work deserves.

Because the result is yours

You get a document with numbers and a plan — useful even if you build the implementation yourselves or with someone else.

Exactly what you get

  • A process map

    The path of a case step by step, with timings and the points where work is duplicated.

  • The numbers on your data

    What handling the process costs today and what realistically remains after automation — with stated assumptions you can challenge.

  • A feasibility assessment

    What can be automated given your systems and data quality, and what needs tidying up first.

  • Pilot scope and price

    A concrete plan for the first implementation with a fixed price and date — ready for a decision.

  • The compliance layer

    The solution's classification under the AI Act and the UODO checklist completed for this process.

How it runs

WEEK 1

Workshop and access

Two meetings of about 2 hours each with the people who know the process. We agree the access scope and the data sample.

WEEK 2

Analysis

We cost the process, check data quality in your systems and assess integration feasibility.

WEEK 2–3

Report and recommendation

We walk through the findings in a meeting and hand over the document with the pilot quote.

A typical audit of one process takes 2–3 weeks. For a larger scope we set the schedule during the consultation.

Funding

Advisory work of this kind is sometimes covered by PARP funding programmes (including FERS 1.3, up to around 85% of the cost of a development service). We'll check during the consultation whether your company qualifies — if it does, the real cost of the audit drops to a few hundred złoty.

Scope and call availability change over time; we always confirm them individually before signing a contract.

Start with a free consultation

We don't sell audits without talking first. 30 minutes to check whether there's anything worth auditing at all — then you decide.

Questions about the audit

How much does a process audit cost?

We don't have a single rate, because the workload depends on the number of processes, the number of systems and how available the data is. We agree the scope and a fixed price during the free 30-minute consultation and give you both before work starts. We deduct the full amount from the price of the pilot if you decide to run it with us.

Why isn't the audit free?

Because it takes 2–3 weeks and requires access to your data and your team's time. A free hour-long call won't produce something you can base an investment decision on — so we separated the two: the conversation is free, the audit is paid.

What if the audit shows automation doesn't pay off?

We'll say so plainly and point out what would have to change for it to pay off. The report is yours, and we don't propose a pilot we can't defend with numbers.

Do we have to give access to production systems?

No. In most cases a data sample and read-only accounts are enough, scoped to what we agree before we start.

How long does the audit take?

An audit of one process usually takes 2–3 weeks from the kick-off workshop. For a broader scope we set the schedule during the consultation.
