AI Readiness and Strategy
We assess your systems and data for AI readiness, draft an AI use policy for your adoption, and deliver a sequenced plan with costs.
Where this work starts
Your agency has an AI policy, or is about to need one. Judges are already using these tools, staff are asking what is allowed, and the people who have to answer are doing it without a technical picture of what the agency actually runs.
The published guidance tells you what good governance looks like. It does not tell you which of your systems can support it, where your data is too inconsistent to use, or which of the tools already in the building are exposing records they should not.
- Written for
- The AI executive
- The executive sponsor
- IT and security
What we do about it
- Assess
- your systems, integrations, and data quality against the work you want AI to do
- Document
- where records live, how they move, and which of them can safely reach a model
- Draft
- the AI use policy, the approved-tool list, and the vetting rubric for new tools
- Design
- disclosure and audit procedures your general counsel and presiding judge can sign
- Train
- staff by role, from the clerk at the counter to the bench
- Sequence
- the work, so the first project is the one most likely to succeed in public
We recommend, draft, build, and operate. Your agency decides, adopts, and approves.
How the engagement runs
Each phase names what we need from your team and ends at a decision that belongs to your agency. Stopping at a gate is a normal outcome, and the work done up to it is still yours.

What your agency owns at the end
Every artifact is yours, in editable source. The policy is written to be adopted under your own name, and the roadmap is written so another firm could execute it.
Deliverables are handed over in editable source. There is no license to renew, no exit fee, and nothing that stops working if the engagement ends.
What it costs
This line is bought through the engagements below. Each one publishes a committed starting price, and its page lists what moves the price above that starting point.
Readiness and Modernization Roadmap
We interview your staff, review your systems and data, and deliver a modernization plan your agency can act on: what to do first, what it costs, and what it depends on.
- Price
- From $18,000
- Timeline
- 6 to 8 weeks
The safe first step
The readiness assessment is free, takes about 20 minutes, and returns a scored report you keep. It creates no obligation, no call, and no follow-up.
