The Engagement

Your team is using AI. But is it producing clean output — or is drift compounding underneath the surface? The AI Workflow Audit answers that question with data. We assess your team's AI-assisted workflows, classify every output against the 6 known failure modes, and quantify what drift is costing you in rework hours and dollars.

You receive an 8–12 page audit report with an executive summary, AI tool inventory, failure mode breakdown with artifact-specific examples, dollar cost estimate, gap analysis, and a prioritized list of what to fix first. The engagement closes with a 30-minute delivery call and a written next-step recommendation within 24 hours.

The assessment methodology was validated across 10 production systems and $75M+ in generated revenue. The benchmark rework rate under CEM is 3.7% — compared to the industry standard of 20–40%.

What You Get

Drift Tax Audit Report (PDF)
8–12 pages covering executive summary, AI tool inventory, failure mode breakdown with artifact-specific examples, cost estimate, gap analysis, and prioritized recommendations.
30-Minute Delivery Call
Findings walkthrough covering top failure modes, dollar cost estimate, and one clear recommended next step.
Follow-Up Recommendation
Written recommendation within 24 hours with the specific next engagement, scope, and what you get.

What Gets Analyzed

Fabrication
Facts, data, citations, or logic that AI invented and can't be verified against source material.
Instruction Non-Compliance
AI ignored part of the prompt, changed scope, or missed explicit constraints you set.
Context Loss
AI lost track of earlier instructions, reversed prior decisions, or treated established context as new.
Data Truncation
AI silently shortened, summarized, or dropped data when the prompt required completeness.
Autonomous Overreach
AI added content, changed structure, or expanded scope without being asked.
Misdirection
AI presented incomplete or wrong output as complete and correct — no signal that something was off.

How It Works

01

Intake Call

We review your AI environment — which tools, which teams, which workflows, and where rework is showing up. You provide 3–5 AI output artifacts showing prompt, AI output, and final version.

Day 1
02

Drift Tax Mapping

Every artifact is classified against the 6 failure modes. Each failure instance is logged by type, severity, and estimated rework time. Costs are extrapolated to monthly and annual figures.

Days 2–3
03

Report & Delivery

Written report prepared with findings, dollar estimates, and prioritized recommendations. Delivered via PDF with a 30-minute walkthrough call.

Days 4–5

Before We Start

To get the most out of this engagement, come prepared with:

01

3–5 examples of AI-generated work your team has shipped — the original prompt, what AI produced, and what the final version looked like after review

02

Access to team leads who use AI in their daily workflows

03

Approximate fully-loaded hourly cost per team member (or we'll use a standard benchmark)

Who It's For

Teams actively using AI tools without structured methodology

Leaders who need to quantify AI ROI for budget decisions

Organizations experiencing inconsistent AI output quality

Companies evaluating whether to adopt CEM
