Clarity on your current position

Confidence in your priorities

A practical plan forward

AI Readiness Review

Make confident decisions about AI before investing in tools, systems or training

AI offers architectural practices enormous possibilities. The difficulty is knowing which are genuinely relevant, where to begin and whether the practice is ready to use them effectively.

The AI Readiness Review is a structured, independent assessment that helps architectural practices and built-environment consultancies understand their current position, identify where AI could create meaningful value and decide what should happen next.

It is not a generic list of AI tools or a sales pitch for a particular platform.

Clarity first. Systems follow. AI comes later.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Your practice may already be experimenting with AI, but experimentation is not the same as having a clear plan.

You may find that:

Different people are using different tools without a shared approach or clear leadership oversight.
Useful experiments are taking place, but the learning is not being shared and priorities remain unclear.
Existing workflows are inconsistent, overly dependent on particular individuals or involve duplicated information and manual handovers.
Nobody clearly owns AI adoption or the decisions surrounding it.
There are concerns about confidentiality, accuracy, professional responsibility or inappropriate use.
Technology providers are offering solutions, but you are unsure which are genuinely relevant or whether they could create additional complexity.

If so, the first step may not be choosing an AI tool. It may be understanding how the practice currently operates, what needs to improve and whether AI has a meaningful role to play.

An example of what the review could uncover

A practice may initially believe it needs a new AI-powered customer relationship management system.

However, the review might reveal that the real problem is inconsistent recording of enquiries, unclear ownership and the absence of an agreed follow-up process. Introducing another system could simply transfer that confusion into a more expensive tool.

More appropriate first steps might be to:

Understand the current process.
Agree what information should be captured and who is responsible.
Remove unnecessary duplication.
Define what a future system needs to achieve.
Only then evaluate the available technology and AI options.

This is the principle behind the AI Readiness Review: understand the real problem before selecting the solution.

This is an illustrative example rather than a published client case study.

What does the review examine?

The review considers seven connected areas that influence whether AI adoption is likely to succeed.

Business objectives

What the practice wants to achieve, what is making that difficult and what successful improvement would look like.

Current AI use

How AI is already being used, formally or informally, and what has been learned so far.

Workflows and opportunities

Where repetition, delays, errors, duplication or information bottlenecks create opportunities for improvement.

People and capability

The team’s knowledge, confidence and attitudes, together with any training or support required.

Information and technology

The systems and information on which potential AI applications may depend, including accessibility, consistency and security.

Governance and risk

The policies, safeguards and human oversight needed to address confidentiality, accuracy and professional responsibility.

Leadership and ownership

Who is responsible for AI-related decisions, how priorities will be agreed and whether the practice can maintain progress.

The emphasis is on business development, marketing, administration and operational workflows—not architectural design, image production or specialist technical implementation.

What will you receive?

At the end of the AI Readiness Review, you will receive:

A tailored readiness profile across the seven assessment areas.
Identification of up to three priority opportunities where AI could add meaningful value.
The principal gaps, constraints and risks, including areas requiring greater process, information or organisational clarity.
Practical recommendations based on your practice’s current position.
A prioritised 90-day action plan showing what to address now, what to investigate next and where ownership should sit.
A concise written findings report and a 60-minute conversation to discuss the assessment, answer questions and agree the most appropriate next steps.

You will leave with a clearer understanding of your current position, where AI may be worth exploring and what should happen next.

Opportunities will be assessed at a strategic level. Detailed workflow redesign, technical implementation and full financial business cases are outside the scope of the review.

How does it work?

1. Complimentary suitability conversation

We begin with a 20–30-minute, no-obligation conversation to understand what has prompted your interest and confirm whether the AI Readiness Review is appropriate for your practice.

2. Preparation and structured review

If you proceed, you will complete a short preliminary questionnaire and provide any relevant background information.

This is followed by a 90-minute online conversation examining your objectives, current AI use, workflows, people, information, governance and internal ownership. One or two people with relevant operational, business-development or technology responsibilities may join the practice leader where useful.

3. Analysis and recommendations

I will assess the practice across the seven readiness areas, identify the most important opportunities, gaps and risks, and translate these into practical recommendations and a prioritised 90-day action plan.

4. Findings review and final report

We will meet for 60 minutes to discuss the assessment, test the recommendations and agree the most appropriate priorities. Any reasonable factual clarifications will then be incorporated into the final report.

The review will normally be completed within two working weeks of the structured review conversation. The primary client contact should expect to commit approximately three hours in total, including the initial suitability call.

Introductory fee

The complete AI Readiness Review is currently available at an introductory fixed fee of £450.

This is an introductory price rather than a reduced version of the review. The intended standard fee is £750.

The fee covers the complete review described above, including preparation, the structured review conversation, analysis, written findings, a prioritised 90-day action plan and the 60-minute findings conversation.

Payment is made in full before the review begins.

Clients may be invited to provide candid feedback. Any testimonial or public case study would be requested separately and used only with your permission.

Additional work outside the agreed scope would be discussed separately, with no obligation to purchase further support.

What people say about my approach

“A really worthwhile session with practical advice that made AI feel much less overwhelming. I came away with a much clearer idea of where to start and what to focus on before introducing AI into our practice.”

Ali Sanduk
Senior Architectural Technologist

Resolution Intelligence webinar attendee

“This webinar provided useful information on how to introduce AI into your practice… My main takeaway was his point about getting things in order before introducing AI, rather than the other way around – a very important point!”

Jesse Dupre
Delve Architects
Resolution Intelligence webinar attendee

“I found Jamie’s approach to AI adoption both practical and refreshing. The point about understanding processes before introducing AI really resonated with me. I came away with some great ideas and would definitely recommend the webinar to colleagues.”

Who is the review for?

The AI Readiness Review has been developed primarily for:

UK architectural practices and built-environment consultancies, particularly those with approximately 10–50 people.
Practice leaders who recognise AI’s potential but lack a clear adoption plan.
Practices where employees are already experimenting with AI without a coordinated approach.
Leadership teams that want to identify worthwhile opportunities before investing in tools, systems or training.
Practices exploring AI within operational, administrative, marketing or business-development workflows.

You do not need to understand AI, have an existing AI strategy or have selected any technology. The review provides a thoughtful and commercially grounded starting point.

Who is it not for?

The AI Readiness Review is unlikely to be suitable if you are looking solely for:

A generic list of AI tools or a predetermined platform recommendation.
Immediate software configuration, development or systems integration.
A comprehensive legal, regulatory, data-protection or cybersecurity audit.
Detailed redesign and documentation of individual workflows.
AI-generated architectural design, visualisation or imagery.
Guaranteed improvements or a shortcut that avoids examining existing processes, information and responsibilities.

The review may identify a need for further technical support, training, policy development or implementation. These services are not included within AIRR and would be discussed separately.

Why work with me?

I’m Jamie Wilkes, founder of Resolution Intelligence.

I have spent more than 20 years working with architectural practices and built-environment businesses. That experience has taught me that the visible request is not always the real problem—and that another tool rarely resolves unclear workflows, information, responsibilities or decisions.

My work now focuses on helping practices understand how they operate, what they are trying to improve and where AI could make a meaningful contribution. I combine practical industry experience with ongoing MBA studies covering digital transformation, organisational strategy, AI adoption and business improvement.

I am not affiliated with a particular AI platform and do not begin with a predetermined technology solution. My role is to understand your situation, identify what matters and help you decide what should happen next.

My approach is straightforward:

Understand the problem.
Understand the workflow.
Then decide whether AI belongs in it
