Bedrock AI Activation Method Readiness Assessment

The 5-Layer AI Bedrock Framework is a bespoke method developed specifically to get a 360 view of your AI Goals and Readiness. Think of it as the starting block, and we are about to fire the gun.

Before you add a single tool, you need to know where you actually are and where AI can do the heavy lifting. This is how we do that:

Know what you're actually solving for. This reveals your single highest-leverage entry point.

Layer 2 : Capacity

Know what you can actually build and maintain. Reveals your implementation ceiling (solo setup vs. team-ready system).

Layer 3 : Current State

Map what's already working and what AI would break

This Reveals the exact handoff points where AI slots in without disrupting quality.

Layer 4 : Configuration

Build the right stack for your business model. Reveals your personalised tool stack.

Layer 5 : Continuity

Make it run without you. Reveals your activation roadmap in terms of what to build, automate and what to protect.

It is worth taking time to complete this thoroughly. Data is the real Bedrock in any automation project and majority of time should be spent on getting the foundationssolidly in place before we ever touch any AI.

Let's start with your personal details

How big is your team?

Where are you now with AI in your business?

Never really used the tools

Use the tools casually, no real system

Use AI regularly, but nothing is structured, no IP Brain

Started building something but stuck, or inconsistent

Have a working system but need to scale, or automate

I need buy-in from a partner, board, committee or shareholder

I'm exploring on behalf of someone else

What task or decision costs you the most time/energy/money, happening weekly or more?

Are you optimizing for time saved, money made, or fewer mistakes?Rank them in order of priority.

If you could remove one thing entirely, what would it be?

What made you reach out now? What is the specific thing which triggered it - time, money, frustration or FOMO?

How many hours/week can you realistically dedicate to this project?

What is your timeline for completion?

Do you work better with structured systems or flexible tools?

Who else needs to use this? Are they tech-comfortable or tech-resistant?

Do you have, or can you easily identify an AI Automation Champion in your organisation to drive this project internally?

LAYER 3 : CURRENT STATE

List your top 5 recurring tasks: is each one what a client pays you for, or what you do to deliver what they pay for?

Where do errors, delays, or inconsistencies most often happen?

What's your current tech stack, even the basics? List all the Tools and Subscriptions you use (including Note takers, LLM's, Outlook, Cloud Servers etc.)

How human-centric is your business and current operational requirements?

fully reliant on staff output and know-how

some processes are automated, some aren't

we use some AI already, with staff already trained

we are pretty geared, and use human intervention only for judgment and quality control

I am not sure where I am yet, nothing is documented

How comfortable are you with using and trusting and using LLM's (I work with Claude / Anthropic) for automation and IP Bedrock management

Do you have any existing Claude Projects, Tools, Skills or integrations deployed to your business?

Do you have an AI Policy? State whether you need assistance with its development and implementation

LAYER 4 : CONFIGURATION

Which do you need most: content, client comms, data organisation, research, or internal docs? (list your top 5 and include anything not mentioned here - be as specific as possible)

Integrate with existing tools, or rebuild from scratch? If you already use Claude CoWork or agentic AI, detail it here.

Monthly automaton budget : honestly? Include ongoing maintenance and subscription budgets, respectively

How much are you willing to invest in a Bedrock build & automation project?

Are you seeking a solution based on existing LLM and SaaS products, or a custom built dev solution?

What is your ideal scenario: Ini, and self-managed automation, or fully outsourced Bedrock build, automation and ongoing maintenance?

What is your ideal scenario?

I just want a Readiness Audit and Gap Analysis for now

Training & hand-holding on Bedrock setup and implementation following the gap analysis (I want to learn how to do and maintain it myself)

Outsourced bespoke Bedrock setup up and implementation (I don't want to do it myself)

Outsourced bespoke automation

All of the above with ongoing support

All of the above with only ad hoc support when needed

Staff training on AI Readiness and Change Management

I want a fully custom built AI system and own the source code with ongoing outsourced maintenance.
