Find the municipal workflows where AI will save the most time first.
The AI Readiness Assessment is a half-day workshop for any municipal department. It identifies repetitive operations, scores AI opportunities, defines human review requirements, and produces a practical implementation roadmap.
- Department interviews for clerk, court, tax, finance, public safety, DPW, administration, planning, utilities, and other teams.
- Use-case scoring by impact, effort, compliance risk, data sensitivity, and first-value timing.
- Final report within five business days with recommendations, approvals, pilot scope, and ROI estimates.
