The short version
What is an AI audit?
The Wex Advisory AI audit is a free report that shows a small business where AI can save it time and money, ranked by estimated annual savings. You give it your website and a few details. It researches your business, scores you on five dimensions of AI maturity, and emails you a PDF with the specific workflows worth automating, the tools to do it with, and the labor math behind every number.
I built it because most small businesses know they should be using AI and have no idea where to start. What helps is a short, ranked list of the things costing you the most hours, with a dollar figure next to each.
Readiness
An AI readiness assessment, plus what to do about it
An AI readiness assessment answers a simple question: is this business ready to use AI, and where should it start? The audit answers both. AI Readiness is one of the five scores in the report, benchmarked against businesses in your industry.
A score on its own doesn’t tell you what to do on Monday. So the report ties it to the specific workflows worth automating, what each one is worth a year, and the order to do them in. If you would rather have someone build the top items for you, that is the work I do as an AI consultant for small business.
What you get
What’s in the report
The same structure as the sample above, built on your business instead of someone else’s.
- Executive summary
- Total estimated annual savings as a conservative and best case, which opportunities are quick wins, and why the timing matters for your business.
- AI maturity scorecard
- Five scores (AI Readiness, Data Visibility, Overall Maturity, Automation Opportunity and Revenue Acceleration) compared against industry peers.
- Opportunities ranked by annual savings
- For each one: the current manual process, what the automated version looks like, the savings calculation with each input labeled as yours or an estimate, complexity, timeline, estimated build hours and cost, payback period and recommended tools.
- Implementation plan
- A phased roadmap so you know what to do first, what to do next, and what can wait.
- What to do this week
- A short list of concrete next steps you can take before spending anything.
- Methodology and data sources
- How every number was calculated and where the inputs came from, so nothing in the report is a black box.
How it works
Four steps, most of them automatic
Tell me about the business
Enter your website URL and company name, then your industry, team size and the part of the job you would happily never do again, with roughly how many hours a week it takes if you know. Add your name and a work email. About two to three minutes.
The research runs
The audit crawls several pages of your website, reads public job postings, reviews and news about the company, and pulls web traffic estimates. It looks for signals that work is being done by hand, like roles hired for repetitive tasks or no booking or CRM tool in sight.
The analysis runs
It classifies your business model and departments, benchmarks you against industry averages, and scores five dimensions of AI maturity. Then it estimates hours, loaded rates and an automation ceiling for each workflow it finds, and ranks them by annual savings.
The PDF lands in your inbox
You get the full report by email. Read it, forward it to your partner or ops lead, or book a free 30-minute numbers review to check it against your real numbers.
Time and cost
How long it takes and what it costs
It costs nothing. There is no credit card, no account to create and no paid tier hiding behind the free one. Filling in the form takes about two to three minutes. The research and analysis run on their own after that, and the PDF usually arrives within minutes.
Who it’s for
A free AI audit for small businesses
It is built for owners and operators of small and mid-sized businesses, roughly 1 to 200 people, without a dedicated IT or ops team. Service firms, property managers, law firms, retailers and e-commerce brands all fit. The tasks that eat the most time (follow-ups, intake, scheduling, reporting, billing) look similar across industries, and the report is written in plain language for the person running the business.
The tool recommendations are sized for small budgets. The audit is set up to skip enterprise platforms you would never buy and point you at tools a small team can actually afford and run.
It is probably not for you if you are a large enterprise looking for an AI governance program. I’ll say that upfront.
Sample output
About the sample on this page
Everything you scrolled through above is real output from the production audit, run on a multi-site service business with 11 to 50 staff. The company name, industry and identifying details are changed to protect the client, and the workflows are described in general terms. The hours, rates, scores and savings are the report’s own numbers. It found five workflows run by hand, from scheduling and booking to recurring billing and renewals, adding up to 206 staff-hours a month. Ranked by annual savings, those five came to $216,124 a year in estimated savings, with $130,944 of it in quick wins that pay back inside six months. It also flagged three gaps: no CRM, no booking automation, and no onboarding workflow at any site.
Your report will look different, because it is built from your website, your job postings and the problem you tell it about.
