How much does an AI audit cost?

A fixed-fee AI operations audit from SAO Consultancy costs £1,500 and is delivered in two weeks. There are no hidden fees, no add-ons and no retainers. The price is the same whether you are a small charity or a medium-sized healthcare provider.

What is included in the £1,500 audit?

The audit includes:

• Workflow mapping across every team and system.
• A safe-use assessment of each workflow against safeguarding, GDPR and CQC constraints.
• A prioritised AI roadmap with hours-saved estimates.
• A "do not use AI for this" exclusion list.
• A written report and a one-hour leadership readout.

How does the cost compare to other options?

Many consultancies charge by the day or ask for open-ended retainers that quickly exceed £1,500 a month. A fixed-fee audit means you know the total cost before any work starts, and the deliverable is a document your team owns rather than an ongoing dependency.

What other services are available?

Beyond the audit, SAO Consultancy offers CRM and Workflow Builds from £3,000 (2–4 weeks), Safe-AI Team Training from £950 (half day), AI Governance Packs for £750 (under a week), Vibe Coding workshops at £65 per person, and Operations Governance Scoping from £1,200. All are fixed-fee.

Is an AI audit worth it for a small charity?

If your team spends hours each week on tasks that could be safely automated or assisted by AI, an audit will find those opportunities and give you a roadmap your trustees can approve. Most organisations find the audit pays for itself within the first month of putting it into practice.
