BOOKING Q3 2026
Discovery Audit.
Two weeks to decide if AI is worth building.
A diagnostic on a stuck or unstarted AI initiative. You walk in with a question. You walk out with an architecture review, a risk register, and a prioritized roadmap you can hand to your engineering team or use to scope a build. Nothing more. Nothing less.
// 01
Who this is for.
The Discovery Audit is built for one specific buyer state. If you do not see yourself in the left column, the engagement is not for you, and we will say so on the call.
●FIT
- ✓You are a Head of Data, VP Engineering, COO, CIO, or Legal owner at a 50 to 2,000 person organization.
- ✓Annual revenue is above CAD 2M and AI is on a board, executive, or compliance roadmap for the next two quarters.
- ✓You have a specific initiative in mind. A stuck pilot. A failed vendor evaluation. A compliance question you do not have the in-house architecture to answer.
- ✓You operate in a regulated industry (healthcare, finance, insurance, public sector, energy) or an operationally complex SME (logistics, manufacturing, supply chain).
- ✓You can give us 4 to 6 hours of access to the right people inside two weeks.
○NOT FIT
- ✕You want a generic "AI strategy workshop" with no scoped initiative behind it. Buy a book.
- ✕You are a pre-revenue startup looking for free architecture help. We respect the hustle and we cannot subsidize it.
- ✕You need a chatbot for your website. That is productized work, go to agency.elogik.ai.
- ✕Your decision-makers are not in the room for the two working sessions. The audit cannot land without them.
- ✕You expect a proof-of-concept inside the engagement. The audit ends in a roadmap, not a running system. Pilot Build is the next offer for that.

What you get.
Four artifacts. Each one is owned by you, formatted to hand off internally, and structured so an outside vendor can pick it up later without rework.
02 / 04
Risk register.
Top 8 to 12 risks scored on likelihood and impact, mapped to your compliance framework (PIPEDA, HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR as applicable). Each risk has an owner suggestion and a mitigation track.

03 / 04
Prioritized roadmap.
3 to 6 initiatives sequenced by dependency and ROI. Each one carries an effort estimate (founder hours, contractor hours, your team hours) and a no-build alternative where one exists.

Working sessions and drafting.
Two working sessions, 90 minutes each, with your decision-makers. First session walks the as-is architecture and risk surface. Second session walks the proposed roadmap and gets your feedback. Drafting happens in parallel.

Out of scope.
If any of the following appears in your audit question, we need to scope it as a separate engagement or hand off to a peer firm. We will say so on the call and quote separately.
// EXPLICITLY NOT INCLUDED
- ×Writing or shipping production code.
- ×Implementing the roadmap. That is Pilot Build (Offer 02) or Fractional Retainer (Offer 03).
- ×Formal compliance certification or audit attestation. That is regulator work, not ours.
- ×Vendor selection RFPs. We will name vendors we trust; the procurement work is yours.
- ×Custom model training, fine-tuning, or evaluation harnesses.
- ×Change management, organizational design, or stakeholder facilitation beyond the two working sessions.
- ×Ongoing support after delivery. The audit ends when artifacts land. Retainer is a separate offer.
- ×Pre-sales workshops for your customers. Different motion, different price.

Pricing, in detail.
Posted, not negotiated past a 10% margin in either direction. Lower end if the audit question is narrow. Higher end if multiple workloads or regulated data classes are in scope.
// PRICE BAND, FLAT
CAD 4,500 to 8,000
Scoped on call. Lower end is one workload, one data class. Higher end is multi-workload or regulated data class in scope (PHI, PII, payment).

Frequently asked.
The questions that have come up most often from buyers in the last twelve months. If yours is not here, ask on the call.
Can the audit run under an NDA?
Yes. Mutual NDA signed before the Discovery Call if you prefer. We work under NDAs as a default with regulated buyers. Sample NDA available on request, or we sign yours if standard.
What does "regulated data class in scope" mean for pricing?
If the audit touches PHI, PII at scale, or payment data, the work expands to cover the compliance posture for that data class (mapping, retention, access control). That moves price into the upper half of the band, not above it. SOC 2, HIPAA, and PIPEDA are the three frameworks we have the most depth in.
Why is there a deposit if you offer a refund guarantee?
The deposit reserves the engagement window and pays for the discovery week before the first working session. The refund guarantee is on the first working session: if we do not show you something useful inside that 90 minutes, you keep the deposit and we cancel the rest at no further cost. It is the cheapest possible way for you to test our fit.
Do you sign IP assignment language?
Yes. The four deliverables are assigned to you on final payment. We retain rights to redacted methodology (frameworks, templates, anonymized patterns) for internal teaching and writing. We do not retain anything client-identifiable. Our standard MSA covers this and is available on request.
What happens after the audit?
Three paths. You take the roadmap to your internal team and execute. You scope a Pilot Build (Offer 02) with us to ship the highest-priority initiative. You move to a Fractional Retainer (Offer 03) for ongoing architecture and review hours. No pressure on the call to commit to any of them. About 40% of audits convert to a paid follow-on within 60 days.
