How do I compare AI model costs?+
Use the LLM Pricing Comparison. Answer three quick questions about your use case, expected token volume and quality requirements. The tool calculates annual cost for each model and ranks them by value for your workload β no sign-up needed.
Which is the cheapest AI model for business use?+
It depends on the task. For simple classification and summarisation, open-source models on your own infrastructure can cost close to zero. For complex reasoning, frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google vary by 5-10Γ. The LLM Pricing Comparison filters by task type to show you the best-value options.
What is an AI readiness assessment?+
An AI readiness assessment scores your organisationβs ability to successfully adopt AI. Ours evaluates five pillars: strategy and leadership, data readiness, technology infrastructure, team skills, and governance and risk. You get a score for each pillar, a benchmark against peers, and a prioritised action plan.
How long does the AI readiness assessment take?+
About 10 minutes. 35 questions, presented one at a time. You donβt need to prepare anything in advance β answer based on your current knowledge. Results are emailed to you immediately after you finish.
What is shadow AI?+
Shadow AI refers to AI tools employees use in their day-to-day work without the knowledge or formal approval of IT, security or management. Common examples include AI writing assistants, image generators and productivity tools employees sign up for personally using company data.
Why does shadow AI matter for my business?+
Because the tools may be processing confidential business data, customer information or IP on external servers with terms of service you have never reviewed. In regulated industries this can create GDPR, HIPAA or SOC 2 exposures. The Shadow AI Audit identifies every tool in use and assigns a risk tier to each.
How do I find out what AI tools my team is using?+
Use the Shadow AI Audit. Discover tools by uploading an expense export, searching by name, picking an industry starter list, or connecting Google Workspace to surface apps your employees have already authorised. The audit walks you through 12 governance questions to produce a risk scorecard.
Are these tools really free?+
Yes. All three tools are free without signing up. If you want a full generated report β PDF, CEO summary, DPIA or per-vendor questionnaires β you can sign in to unlock those. The core results are always free.
Do I need to sign up or create an account?+
No. You only create an account if you want to save your results, share them with your team or unlock the extended report features.
What does my AI readiness score mean?+
The score sits between 0 and 100 across five pillars. Above 70 in a pillar means you are ready to move forward there. Below 40 signals a gap to address before launching an AI initiative. The report tells you which three actions will shift the score fastest this quarter.
What is AI governance and why does it matter?+
AI governance is the set of policies, processes and controls that determine how AI tools are approved, monitored and managed. Good AI governance prevents data breaches, regulatory fines and reputational damage β and makes it easier to scale AI adoption confidently once the foundations are in place.
How do I present AI risk to my board?+
The Shadow AI Audit generates a board-ready summary listing the tools in use, their risk tiers and the recommended actions. Sign in after completing the audit to download the one-page executive summary β plain English, no technical jargon.
