A fixed-price audit of your business systems and processes. Five working days. One clear output: a prioritised map of automation opportunities and the sequence to build them in.
The full £995 is credited toward any AI Build Sprint or AI Systems Partner engagement if you proceed within 90 days.
They build a chatbot because a competitor has one. Not because it solves a real bottleneck. Six months later it handles 4% of enquiries and the team still answers the phone manually.
They automate a process that didn't need automating. The real time drain — the one that costs 15 hours a week across the team — is two steps earlier, and nobody thought to look there.
Systems that don't talk to each other compound the problem. CRM, project management, invoicing, email — each one is manual at the boundary between systems. That's where the hours go.
AI spend happens before the map exists. Subscriptions, consultants, half-built tools. None of it connects because no one established what the target architecture actually was.
Mode maps your current operational stack — every system, every manual handoff, every tool. We identify where time is being spent on work that a well-designed automation could handle. Then we rank opportunities by impact and implementation effort.
The output is not a slide deck on what AI could theoretically do for businesses like yours. It is a specific document about your business: what to automate first, what to automate next, and what to leave alone.
Marketing, sales, operations, customer service, reporting — the audit spans all of it. Five working days from first conversation to final report.
The full £995 is credited toward any Mode AI engagement. Proceed with an AI Build Sprint or AI Systems Partner within 90 days and the Pre-flight cost is deducted from your first invoice. Net cost: nothing.
A 60-minute structured session to walk through your current tools, team size, business functions and where you feel the most friction. No preparation required from you beyond showing up.
Mode maps your full operational stack. Systems, tools, manual processes, integration gaps, team workflows. The Mode Engine runs across your tech stack to build a complete picture before analysis begins.
Opportunities identified, ranked and sequenced. ROI estimated per automation. Build complexity assessed. Quick wins separated from longer-horizon builds. The report is written in plain English.
The AI Pre-flight Report delivered. Written to be immediately actionable — whether you proceed with Mode or implement independently. The first automation on the list can usually be started the same week.
The Pre-flight works whether you have existing automation in place or none at all. If you've already started building, we map what's there, identify what's missing, and correct the sequence. If you're starting from scratch, we establish the right foundation before a single build begins.
£995 + VAT. Five working days. One document that tells you exactly what to automate and in what order. Credited in full toward any AI engagement you proceed with.
Or go straight to the build if you already know what you need.
