Cortex IT checklist
5 signals your process is ready for AI automation
Five minutes to find out whether your process is ready for an AI pilot. Five pages, no filler.
Who it's for
- Owners and managing directors — when a process already hurts, but it isn't obvious whether it's ready for a pilot right now.
- IT directors and CTOs — when you need to judge your data and infrastructure before talking to vendors.
- Commercial directors — when you want to know where AI pays off quickly and where the budget quietly disappears.
What's inside
A working guide for judging whether your processes and IT infrastructure are ready for AI — before you start negotiating with developers.
- Readiness across 5 metrics: concrete criteria for data, processes and IT systems, plus the red flags that signal a budget about to be wasted.
- Technical requirements for data: the minimum volumes and formats needed to launch retrieval search (RAG), speech analytics or computer vision.
- A self-assessment table: a short test that places your company in a green, yellow or red zone and points to the sensible next step.
The result: you'll know whether to start an AI project now, how to prepare the company for it, and where the money goes to waste at the start.
