Clarity before tools

Make informed AI decisions that actually fit

Many leaders feel pressure to "do something with AI."

Fewer feel confident they understand where AI actually belongs in their organization, where it does not, and what problems are worth solving first.

The WRG AI Audit exists to slow that moment down just enough to make a good decision.

Who this is for

This audit is designed for leaders who:

  • are responsible for people, systems, and real consequences
  • feel growing pressure to adopt AI but distrust the noise
  • have already invested time or money without clear results
  • sense misalignment between tools, workflows, and priorities
  • want to make one sound decision before making ten reactive ones

Most of our early work has been with superintendents and district leadership teams. The audit is equally relevant for executive teams, professional service firms, and education-adjacent organizations navigating similar complexity.

What this audit is

The WRG AI Audit is a clarity-first assessment of how work actually gets done in your organization.

We examine decision points, workflows, communication patterns, existing tools, and leadership constraints.

Then we look carefully at where AI or automation could create leverage, and where it would create confusion, risk, or wasted effort.

The outcome is clarity, not momentum for momentum's sake.

What this audit is not

This is not:

  • a software recommendation
  • a vendor comparison
  • a generic AI readiness checklist
  • a push toward implementation

In many cases, the most valuable outcome is deciding what not to pursue yet.

What actually happens

1

Audit request

You submit a short request outlining your context and current pressures.

2

15-minute clarity conversation

A brief call to confirm fit and scope. This is not a sales call.

3

Focused intake

A short intake designed to surface real operational friction.

4

Analysis and synthesis

We review systems, workflows, and decision patterns through a human-centered lens.

5

Executive-ready report and conversation

You receive a clear, practical summary of what matters, what does not, and what options make sense.

Timeline and investment

Typical timeline: 2 to 4 weeks, depending on scope

Typical investment: $750 to $3,000

Most individual and education-based audits fall in this range. Scope is tailored to your context and may include on-site work when appropriate. Specific options are discussed during the clarity conversation before any engagement is finalized.

What leaders usually decide after the audit

There is no required next step.

After the audit, leaders typically decide one of three things:

  • Do nothing yet, with confidence
  • Make a small, targeted change internally
  • Ask WRG to support deeper strategy or system design

All three are valid outcomes.

The goal is not engagement.
The goal is discernment.

Before you decide anything

These insights reflect how we think about AI before recommending tools, systems, or next steps.
