AI Audit

AI Audit · Business + AI Consultant

Your business needs a Chief AI Officer. Here is how to get one without hiring one.

In 2024 only 26% of large companies had a Chief AI Officer. In 2026 it's 76%. The role didn't exist five years ago. Today every CEO is being asked about it on every earnings call. SMB operators don't have the budget to hire a CAIO — but the gap between "our team has AI skills" (86% of employees) and "our team actually uses AI" (25%) is exactly the same in a 12-person business as it is in a 12,000-person business. ASI 360 closes that gap on a tiered ladder — from $500 to $10,000 — with a real audit deliverable at every tier.

The CAIO gap

76% of public-company CEOs are hiring a Chief AI Officer this year. The same hiring pressure exists for SMBs, but the budget doesn't.

The adoption gap

86% of employees say they have AI skills. Only 25% use AI in their daily work. The bottleneck is leadership willing to connect the two.

Domain + AI fluency

The rarest hire in 2026 is someone who already knows your industry AND speaks AI fluently. ASI 360 has 25 years of integration domain depth across hospitality, retail, multifamily, and security.

The AI Audit ladder

Five tiers. Pick the depth your business actually needs.

Every tier produces a written deliverable. Every tier credits 100% forward against the next tier up or against a Standard build. No tier is a sales call disguised as a discovery.

What you actually get

Every tier produces a written deliverable in 48 hours

No slide decks. No 40-page consulting proposals. Real plans you can act on or hand to another vendor.

Software-tier deliverable

Tiers 1-3 ($500, $1,000, $2,500) produce a written audit covering:

Sales funnel + lead flow analysis
Existing tech stack map + overlap audit
Top AI use cases ranked by ROI
Tool stack recommendations (vendor-agnostic)
12-agent shortlist (Deep Dive tier only)
30 / 60 / 90-day roadmap

Physical-tier deliverable

Tiers 4-5 ($5,000, $10,000) ADD physical-world data via Sentinel hardware:

Camera-based footfall + heat-map analysis
POS reconciliation against camera-counted bodies
Phone call intel + missed-call attribution
Ad spend → front-door check-in tying
Live AI agent pilot (1 or 2 agents)
Sentinel devices loaner or buy-to-keep

Why this works for SMBs

You don't need to hire a $250K CAIO. You need 90 minutes of one.

Fractional CAIO model

Hire Don directly for the audit. 25 years of systems-integration domain depth plus current AI fluency — the rarest combination in the market right now. No junior associates, no PowerPoint, no upsell bait.

Pilot before you commit

Tiers 4 and 5 ship live AI agent pilots inside the audit window. You see the agent work on your actual data before you commit to a Standard build. Either it pays for itself in 30-60 days or we kill it.

Real numbers, not vibes

Every deliverable includes hard math: per-AI-tool monthly cost, estimated hours saved, dollar value of the recovered time. You leave with a quantified case to take to your team or your investors.

Regulated-industry safe

Healthcare, finance, defense, government? The audit specifically covers compliance constraints (HIPAA, SOC2, PCI, FedRAMP) and recommends AI tooling that fits. Domain + AI fluency inside a constraint is the most-defensible hire in the market.

An anonymized $2,500 Deep Dive outcome

A Bay Area hospitality group with 3 locations

Going in: the owner thought he needed "more marketing." The Deep Dive surfaced something different.

$28K/yr — paying for 6 SaaS tools that overlapped; canceled 3
$19K/yr — missing 14-22 reservation calls per week per location; recovered with the Inside Sales Agent
$11K/yr — manual ops-reporting overtime, automated with the Operations Agent
$5K/yr — payment processor margin renegotiation

Total recurring waste identified: ~$63K/yr. Implementation budget recommended: $20K Standard build + $1,500/mo retainer. Net to the owner inside year one: ~$25K positive cash flow plus an integrated stack he previously couldn't have afforded the headcount to build. ROI on the audit alone: 25x.

25x ROI

A $2,500 Deep Dive that surfaced $63K of annual leakage. Most operators see similar ratios at the Deep Dive tier or higher.
