For B2B SaaS data teams · AI Stack Audit

A clear verdict on your AI readiness.
Two weeks. $15,000.

Before your team spends another quarter on AI -- know whether your stack can support it. A scored assessment across 5 dimensions. If you're ready, we scope the first build. If not, you get exactly what to fix and in what order.

You get dedicated senior capacity for the full duration of the audit. Series B client: dbt + Terraform foundation unblocked 2 agent deployments in 3 months.

The problem

AI on bad data doesn't fail loudly.
It fails quietly.

96%

of organizations admit their data isn't truly ready for AI -- but most are deploying anyway. Gartner, 248 data management leaders

7%

of enterprises say their data is completely ready for AI. The other 93% are guessing. Cloudera / HBR, 2026

$0

ROI on the AI strategy deck sitting in your Google Drive. 42% of companies abandoned most AI initiatives in 2025. A scored verdict is not a presentation. S&P Global, 2025

95% of AI pilots never made it to production in 2025 -- not because the technology failed, but because they were deployed on unstable ground. The question isn't whether AI works. It's whether your data can hold the weight.

What you get

The AI Stack Audit: 5 dimensions. 1 score. 90-day roadmap.

The audit scores your readiness across the 5 dimensions that determine whether AI agents will succeed or stall in your organization. Every score is backed by evidence from your actual systems -- not a questionnaire.

01

Data Foundation

Is your data warehouse structured, tested, and documented? Do you have a transformation layer (dbt or equivalent)? Can your data models support AI workloads?

Warehouse + dbt + data models
02

Infrastructure Maturity

Is your cloud infrastructure code-managed (Terraform)? Do you have CI/CD pipelines? Can you provision and tear down environments reliably?

Terraform + CI/CD + cloud governance
03

Data Quality

How reliable is your data? Do you have automated testing? What's your data freshness SLA? Are metric definitions consistent across teams?

Testing + freshness + consistency
04

Org Readiness

Does your team have the skills to maintain AI agents post-deployment? Is there executive sponsorship? Are stakeholders aligned on AI use cases?

Skills + sponsorship + alignment
05

Use-Case Viability

Which of your AI ambitions are realistic given your current stack. Use cases are prioritized by feasibility, impact, and data readiness. You'll know which to build now, which to defer, and which to drop entirely.

Feasibility + impact + prioritization
Deliverables

What you walk away with

AI Readiness Scorecard

A scored assessment (1-5) across all 5 dimensions. Clear, objective, backed by evidence from your actual systems. No hand-waving.

Gap Analysis

Specific gaps identified in each dimension with severity ratings. You'll know exactly what's blocking your AI ambitions and how critical each gap is.

90-Day Roadmap

A prioritized, actionable plan: what to fix first, what it costs, and what AI capabilities each fix unlocks. Scoped, priced, and sequenced.

Use-Case Prioritization

Your AI wish list ranked by feasibility and impact. You'll know which agents are buildable now, which need foundation work, and which aren't worth it.

Honest Verdict

If your stack is ready: the next step is scoping the first build. If it's not: you get a sequenced list of exactly what to fix, in what order, with time and cost estimates. A clear path either way -- no upsell pressure.

Executive Summary

A board-ready summary you can present to leadership. Plain language, business impact framing, clear next steps. Built for decision-makers, not engineers.

Timeline

2 weeks. Start to finish.

Not a 3-day workshop that generates more workshops. A scored assessment of your actual systems, delivered in two weeks.

Week 1

Assess

  • Kickoff call with stakeholders
  • Access to data warehouse, pipelines, infrastructure
  • Audit data models, test coverage, pipeline reliability
  • Review infrastructure (IaC, CI/CD, cloud governance)
  • Stakeholder interviews (data team, leadership)
Week 2

Score & Deliver

  • Score all 5 dimensions (1-5 scale)
  • Identify and severity-rank gaps
  • Prioritize AI use cases by feasibility
  • Build 90-day roadmap with cost estimates
  • Present findings to leadership -- with a clear verdict and the path forward
The alternatives

You've probably considered these options.

A large consulting firm

They scope it with a senior partner, build it with a junior analyst, and hand off a deck when the engagement ends. "The consultants had already moved on to their next client" -- that's not a hypothetical, it's what data teams report, consistently. The audit is delivered by the same practitioner who assessed your stack. No hand-offs.

An internal review

Your team knows the stack best. They also have three other projects, no external authority with the board, and no structured scoring methodology. The audit gets started, paused, and tabled. You need a verdict, not a long weekend with a spreadsheet.

Waiting for a better time

The board question doesn't go away. 42% of companies abandoned AI initiatives in 2025 -- not because they lacked ambition, but because they committed before checking whether the foundation could hold it. Two weeks now is cheaper than six months of stalled engineering later.

Who it's for

Is this you?

This is for you if:

  • Your board is asking about AI and you don't have a clear answer
  • You want AI agents but suspect your data isn't ready
  • You've tried AI initiatives that stalled or underdelivered
  • You're a company with $5M-$200M revenue
  • You have a cloud data warehouse (or plan to adopt one)
  • You need a clear, honest assessment -- not a sales pitch

This is NOT for you if:

  • You're pre-seed with no data infrastructure at all
  • You already have a mature 10+ person data + AI team
  • You're looking for someone to build a software product
  • You need hourly consulting, not a fixed-scope engagement
  • You don't believe AI is relevant to your business
In practice

What it looks like when it works.

Head of Data, Series A B2B SaaS

"The diagnostic confirmed the data foundation was there. We scoped the automation in week 3. The Monday reporting workflow that had taken 3 hours every week was running automatically in 5 days."

VP Analytics, Series B SaaS

"Two agent deployments had been blocked for a quarter -- the team knew something was wrong with the data layer but not what. The diagnostic named the specific gaps. Six weeks of foundation work later, both agents were in production."

Book my discovery call

That's less than one month of a mid-level data hire. And you'll know exactly where you stand in 2 weeks.

A failed AI initiative costs 6+ months of engineering time. The audit tells you whether you're set up to succeed before you commit that time.

Every other firm makes you fill out a form to find out if you can afford them. The price is $15,000. It's on this page. More on how this compares to alternatives.

After the audit

A roadmap only matters if someone owns the first 90 days.

The audit can end cleanly with your team owning the roadmap. If your team is already overloaded, MLDeep can stay on as the implementation owner: a monthly retainer scoped on the fit call, 3-month minimum, one active build lane at a time.

Month 1

Foundation repair or first build

  • Turn the top audit finding into a scoped build lane
  • Close the highest-risk data, dbt, reporting, or workflow gap
  • Document decisions and handoff as work ships
Months 2-3

Production execution

  • Build the next workflow, agent, or data foundation improvement
  • Keep one accountable senior technical owner on the backlog
  • Decide whether to renew, pause, or hand off in week 10
