How work actually moves
The daily routines, the tools, the steps nobody wrote down — captured in the employee's own words, not a form.
See exactly where your company is losing time.
A voice AI agent interviews your team and scores where you lose hours to manual work. You get back a prioritized roadmap: what to automate, what to build, and in what order.
Most companies know AI belongs somewhere. The Report tells you where, in what order, and what has to hold first.
-
A voice agent, not a survey.
Instead of questionnaires or shadowing, a proprietary voice AI agent runs structured interviews across departments, about 40 minutes each. The voice format captures the follow-up detail, handoff failures, and daily frustrations that written forms lose.
-
Scored, not guessed.
Every finding is rated by severity, frequency, and annual cost. "Where is the time going" stops being a hunch and becomes a ranked number — so the biggest drains are obvious before you spend a dollar.
-
The start of a conversation, not a PDF.
You don't get a file and a handshake. We walk the findings with you, put real numbers on them; hours saved, ROI, the opportunities worth chasing first; and turn them into the order of operations: what to automate, what to build AI for, and what has to hold first. The Report is where the AI strategy conversation starts.
What the Report surfaces
Data re-keyed by hand
Where your team retypes the same information between systems that were supposed to talk to each other.
Handoff failures
The status updates chased across tools and the work that stalls in the gap between two departments.
Preventable errors
The manual-entry mistakes that create rework and risk today, and can be cut to near zero.
Recovered hours
The 2 to 8 hours per employee per day that AI and automation can hand back to higher-value work.
Room to grow
The capacity to grow revenue without growing headcount at the same rate — profit with less.
A voice conversation, not a survey.
The agent walks each employee through how their work really happens, roughly 40 minutes, adapting its follow-ups to the answers. No forms to fill in, no scheduling for your team to manage.
How it works.
A few weeks from first interview to a roadmap you own.
-
The voice agent interviews your team.
A voice AI agent runs structured interviews across departments, roughly 40 minutes each, asking about daily routines, tools, handoffs, and the problems nobody else on the team fully sees. The voice format captures nuance that forms and written surveys miss.
-
We score every finding.
Each finding is rated by severity, frequency, and annual cost, so the highest-cost drains rise to the top. "Readiness" becomes a number, and the number carries a dollar figure you can weigh against the fix.
-
You get a prioritized roadmap.
What to automate, what to build AI for, and in what order — with the operational fixes that have to land first. It feeds straight into AI Foundations when it makes sense to go deeper.
This is for you if:
- You're a mid-market company ($5M–$50M) and manual work is quietly eating your margins.
- You know AI belongs somewhere, but not where or in what order.
- You want a baseline in dollars before you spend on tools or headcount.
This is not for you if:
- You already have a clear, owned AI strategy in motion.
- You just need hands to build something already scoped.
- You're not willing to change how the team works.
Using Phos’ AI Operations Audit was a unique experience. The AI agent is absolutely mind blowing; the level of questions it asks is incredible. But the best thing was the output. Phos has helped us put together a plan and now, finally, we know how to use AI to transform our organization.

FAQs
What is an AI Readiness Report?
The AI Readiness Report is an operations diagnostic for mid-market companies that maps where you lose time to manual work, where human error is creating risk, and where AI can help you scale without adding headcount. A voice AI agent interviews your team, findings are scored by severity, frequency, and annual cost, and you get a prioritized roadmap: what to automate, what to build AI for, and in what order.
How is it different from a typical consulting assessment?
Instead of questionnaires or shadowing, a proprietary voice AI agent conducts structured interviews with employees across departments, roughly 40 minutes each. The voice format captures the handoff failures and recurring frustrations that surveys and consultant interviews miss. And it ends in a scored, prioritized roadmap you own — not a slide deck that hands off to someone else.
How much time can AI actually give back?
Across early engagements in financial services, logistics, aviation, and retail, companies are losing between 2 and 8 hours per employee per day to work AI and automation can handle — re-keying data, preparing reports by hand, chasing status updates, correcting avoidable errors. At a 300-person company, the low end of that range is more than 62,000 recovered hours a year, reaching into the millions in operational value once error rates, turnaround, and headcount are factored in.
Who is the AI Readiness Report for?
Mid-market companies ($5M–$50M in annual revenue) that run on manual, repetitive work and want to know where AI pays off before they spend. The Report is the entry point to the firm's four-phase engagement model: AI Foundations, Training, Private AI Workspace, and AI-Native Operations.
What happens after the Report?
You own the roadmap and act on it in priority order, starting with the highest-cost drains. If it makes sense to go further, the Report feeds directly into AI Foundations — the phase where the priorities become a written strategy, a roadmap, and the SOPs your AI tools need to be useful.
How much does the AI Readiness Report cost?
It's available now as a standalone engagement for mid-market companies. The investment scales with the size of your team and the scope of the interviews, so we give you a specific number once we understand both. The fastest way to a number is a conversation.
