Why start with an audit before any AI investment ?
The majority of AI projects that fail share the same starting point: a decision made without prior diagnosis. We buy a Copilot license because a competitor uses it. We deploy ChatGPT in the company without a governance framework. We automate a process that was not the right one. The AI audit is the only step that ensures you invest in the right place.
A Quantum Consulting audit is not a generic report. It's an immersion in your real processes, with your real tools, your real constraints (budgetary, technical, regulatory). We map what can be improved by AI, estimate the ROI of each opportunity, and benchmark available models (Claude from Anthropic, GPT-4o from OpenAI, Mistral AI, Meta Llama, Google Gemini) to identify which one best fits your context.
After an audit, you have a strategic asset: a prioritized AI roadmap for 12 months, with estimates of gains, model recommendations and a realistic deployment sequence. No FOMO, no unnecessary expenses. Only what generates value in your organization.
The 3 proposed audit levels
Flash Audit (2 days)
Focus on 1 to 2 targeted processes. Ideal for validating an opportunity before committing a larger budget.
- Analysis of 2 priority processes
- Benchmark of adapted AI models
- ROI estimation and deployment timeframe
- Executive feedback session (1h)
- Synthetic report 8-12 pages
Complete Audit (2 weeks)
Exhaustive mapping of your organization. The reference audit for a structured AI transformation over 12 months.
- Interviews with all key teams
- Complete mapping of data flows
- Analysis of 8 to 15 candidate processes
- Prioritized 12-month roadmap
- Presentation to the management committee
Technical IT Audit
For IT teams: assessment of the existing architecture, available APIs and sovereignty constraints for an on-premise or private cloud AI deployment.
- Audit of existing IT infrastructure
- Evaluation Mistral AI, Meta Llama on-premise
- Target architecture and migration plan
- Risk analysis and compliance plan
- Complete technical documentation
What a Quantum Consulting audit covers
Process mapping
Identification and modeling of all your manual or semi-automated workflows. Detection of friction points, repetitive tasks and bottlenecks eligible for AI.
Automation potential
Evaluation of the level of automation possible for each process: from simple assistance to complete autonomy of an AI agent. Estimation of time recovered per team.
Benchmark of LLM models
Comparison of available AI models according to your constraints: Claude (Anthropic) for reasoning, GPT-4o (OpenAI) for multimodal, Mistral AI for European sovereignty, Meta Llama for on-premise.
Governance & compliance GDPR
Analysis of risks related to data use in AI models. Recommendations on contractual clauses, data location, and affected persons' rights.
AI models evaluated during the audit
How an audit is conducted
Framing call (30 min, free)
Exchange to understand your sector, your challenges, your AI maturity and your constraints. After that, we propose the type of audit adapted to your situation.
Field immersion
Interviews with your teams, observation of real processes, analysis of your existing tools. We work with your data, not with theoretical cases.
Analysis & modeling
Mapping of flows, evaluation of automation potential, benchmark of relevant AI models for each identified use case. ROI estimation for each opportunity.
Reporting back to your management
Presentation of results in a working session with your management committee. Exchanges, questions, adjustments of priorities. Deliverables handed over at the end of the session.
12-month roadmap
Sequencing of AI initiatives by priority and estimated ROI, with indicative budget and necessary resources for each step. Exploitable deliverable from the next day.
Frequently asked questions about our AI audits
How much does an AI audit cost?
A Flash audit starts at €2,500 excl. tax. A complete audit for an SME with 20 to 100 employees ranges from €5,000 to €10,000 excl. tax depending on the scope. Each mission includes a detailed and transparent quote before starting. Partial financing possible via business consulting schemes depending on your region.
Do you need a planned implementation budget in advance?
No: it is precisely the role of the audit to give you the figures to build your implementation budget. The identified opportunities can be implemented gradually, starting with quick wins with low investment. No significant funding is required to start.
