HachiAI AI Opportunity Score
A free, directional self-assessment that ranks your best AI candidates and gauges readiness in minutes. Start here if you want a fast read on where to look.
Take the free Score ↗Turn your strongest AI opportunity into a build-ready plan.
The HachiAI AI Opportunity Assessment is the paid step of Compass™. We map your real workflows, systems, volumes, controls, readiness, and economics, then turn your strongest qualified opportunity into a costed Intelligent Digital Worker deployment plan you can hand to a build team. Where an IDW is not the right fit, the same evidence routes to a custom Forge build, readiness work, a later sequence, or a decision to hold.
It is built for leadership teams past the curiosity stage that need to decide what to deploy first, and defend the decision to a board or a P&L. Our case studies show the same plan in production across finance and operations.
Compass is a fixed engagement fee, scoped on a short call, with 50% credited toward your first deployment. To size the return for your own volumes first, use the ROI calculator.
What you get
A decision-ready plan for your first deployment.
Six deliverables define the opportunity, priority, economics, first 90 days, deployment pipeline, and broader rollout path, each built from your operating data rather than generic benchmarks.

HachiAI Compass™
An evidence-based assessment of your workflows, systems, controls, readiness, and economics that produces a prioritized business case and a costed deployment plan you can act on.
Request the Assessment ↓Six outputs built from your operations, not generic benchmarks.
Most teams already have a list of AI ideas. The harder question is which opportunity should move first, whether the business is ready to deploy it, and whether the expected value justifies the investment. Each output answers a leadership question and gives you the evidence to decide: deploy now, defer, or sequence the next workflow.
01
Enterprise AI Opportunity Heatmap
What could AI do across the business, and what is it worth?An evidence-based inventory of AI opportunities across your functions, each workflow family carrying its own value estimate, feasibility read, and readiness read, so nothing ranks on theoretical value alone.
- Opportunities identified across core functions
- Annual value potential estimated by workflow and function
- Business impact, feasibility, and readiness rated for each opportunity
- Workflow types grouped by automation pattern and recommended solution path
XOpportunities identified
$XAnnual value potential
X%Productivity impact
XHigh-value workflows
| Function | Count | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Finance | X | $X |
| Supply Chain | X | $X |
| Operations | X | $X |
| Customer Service | X | $X |
Illustrative example. The final heatmap uses your workflows, operating data, and validated assumptions.
02
AI Use Case Prioritization Matrix
What should we do first, and what can wait?Every opportunity is plotted by business value, implementation complexity, and readiness, so the deployment sequence is grounded in expected value, effort, risk, and dependencies, not appetite.
High-value opportunities ready to move first
Strategic opportunities that need preparation or dependency work
Lower-priority opportunities to sequence later
Long-term initiatives to revisit after foundational gaps are addressed
Illustrative labels. The final matrix uses your workflows, scoring criteria, and leadership priorities.
03
AI Investment Portfolio Dashboard
What is the business case, and when do we get paid back?The economics in one view: estimated investment, annual benefit, ROI, payback, and three-year value across the recommended portfolio, shown as ranges with the assumptions, confidence, and sensitivity behind them, not point estimates alone.
- Estimated investment and benefit by use case
- ROI and payback range for the recommended first deployment
- Benefit drivers, assumptions, confidence, and sensitivity
- Portfolio view for funding and sequencing decisions

90-Day Quick Win Plan
What can we deploy in the first 90 days?A practical plan in three 30-day waves, each with defined scope, named owners, dependencies, controls, acceptance criteria, and an expected-value estimate.
Days 1 to 30
confirm workflow design, data, integrations, controls, and acceptance criteria
Days 31 to 60
build and validate the first production workflow
Days 61 to 90
deploy, stabilize, measure results, and define the next expansion
Owners, dependencies, investment, and expected value attached to each wave
05
AI Transformation Pipeline
How do opportunities become running operations?A gated path from opportunity discovery to production operation, keeping value, feasibility, risk, readiness, and governance visible before investment increases. Operated IDWs are the common endpoint, with named owners and evidence required to move each opportunity forward.

Each stage has explicit value, feasibility, readiness, risk, and governance gates.
06
Enterprise AI Roadmap
What does the broader rollout look like?A phased roadmap across strategy, use cases, data, technology, people, governance, and measurement, so your first deployment becomes a path to durable operating capability, not a one-off pilot.
Foundation: priorities, readiness, architecture, and governance
First deployment: build, launch, measure, and prove value
Expansion: multiple workflows, controls, reporting, and operating ownership
Scale: portfolio governance and a durable AI operating model.
Workstreams, owners, dependencies, and milestones carried across every phase.
What to expect from Compass™.
What the engagement asks of your team, and what you walk away with.
Typical duration:
2 to 3 weeks.
Who participates:
an executive sponsor, the process owners, and finance, IT, security, and data representatives as needed. You do not need to arrive with a finalized use case. Identifying and prioritizing the right opportunity is part of the work, and the strongest outcomes come from ongoing engagement with leadership and process owners as findings are validated and recommendations take shape.
Inputs we ask for:
workflow volumes, staffing effort, cycle times, error and rework rates, process documents, systems, controls, and available cost data.
How it ends:
an executive readout with the recommended first move, the economics, the 90-day plan, the risks, and your next-step options.
At the end, you choose. Deploy a proven IDW, commission a custom Forge build, address readiness gaps first, sequence the opportunity for later, or stop. Compass is a decision mechanism, not an automatic implementation sale.

Questions leaders ask before the Assessment.
What is the AI Opportunity Assessment?
A short, productized engagement that turns your AI Opportunity Score into a costed deployment map: the workflows ready now, their projected ROI, and the build sequence. The common recommendation is a costed IDW deployment plan, but the same evidence can route to a custom Forge build, readiness work, a later sequence, or a decision to hold. It is paid, and 50% of the fee is credited toward your first deployment.
How is it different from the free Score?
The Score is a free, directional self-assessment that ranks your best candidates in minutes. Compass is the paid, evidence-based engagement: we work from your operating data, workflows, controls, and economics to produce a prioritized business case and a costed deployment plan you can defend to a board.
When do we pay?
Compass is a fixed engagement fee, scoped on a short call, with 50% credited toward your first deployment. For the deployment itself, IDW fees start only after the worker is live and meeting the scope and acceptance criteria we sign off together, so you see measurable results before you pay for them. (See what one IDW is worth in your business on the ROI calculator.)
How long until it's live?
Most IDWs reach production in 8 to 14 weeks for qualified use cases. We start with one high-ROI workflow, map how the work actually moves, build and test on your real data, then deploy and run it, so you reach production value in months, not a multi-year program.
