The A.I.RTM Framework · AI Readiness, scored

Know exactly where you stand on AI.

A.I.R stands for AI Readiness. For distributors and manufacturers, we score your readiness across six pillars within your organization. You'll get an honest assessment of where your organization is on its readiness to implement AI.

The framework

Six pillars. One score.

01
Data Readiness

Is your data clean, centralized, and accessible?

02
Technology Infrastructure

Can your current stack support AI?

03
Process & Workflow

Where are the manual bottlenecks eating time and margin?

04
People & Culture

Is your team ready, and is leadership bought in?

05
Governance & Risk

Do you have policies in place, or is AI running unsanctioned?

06
Strategic Alignment

Does AI connect to where the business is actually going?

Where most consultants miss
Process before tools.
Why this is different

Your ERP is not your process.

A great ERP installed on top of a broken process just makes the broken parts faster. The A.I.R Framework looks at your process first, then scores how well your systems actually support it. AI comes last, where it improves what already works instead of hiding what doesn't.

That's why the recommendations actually fit your business instead of describing some generic distributor that doesn't exist.

Common questions

What owners actually ask.

Do I need the Diagnostic before the Roadmap? +

Yes. The Diagnostic is built into the Roadmap as pre-work. It gives us a scored baseline before the discovery call so we spend that hour on what matters most.

What if I want a custom build, not a vendor selection? +

We start at the application layer with sanctioned, market-ready tools because that's where most distributors and manufacturers get the fastest return. If a custom build is the right answer for your business, we'll scope it with you and bring in the right development partners to execute it.

What happens after the Roadmap? +

The Roadmap hands you an executable, prioritized plan with named owners. From there, most owners move into an advisory. The findings set the agenda. You choose the depth of involvement. The Roadmap stands on its own, and the work it surfaces is almost always bigger than what one internal team can run in parallel with the day job.
