AI Readiness and Vendor Selection for Small Businesses

Independent AI readiness review and platform comparison for small businesses: a clear use case, fair options, realistic running costs and a written recommendation. No vendor commission.

Short answer: before you sign for an AI platform or consultant, spend a few days working out what problem you are solving, whether your business is ready, and what the real running cost will be. Interweb360 does this as a fixed-price, independent review: a clear use case, a shortlist of options compared fairly, and a written recommendation. We take no commission from any vendor.

Why do this before buying

Most AI spending problems start before the build: a vague goal, an over-optimistic cost estimate, or a platform chosen because it was the one in the sales presentation. A short, independent readiness review is the cheapest point at which to catch them.

What you get

  • A defined use case – one or two problems worth solving, with a success measure.
  • A readiness check – data, systems, people and process.
  • A fair comparison of the realistic options (off-the-shelf tools, platform builds, or bespoke), covering fit, data handling, lock-in and cost.
  • A usage-based cost estimate so you see the likely running cost at pilot and at scale.
  • A written recommendation including what to ask suppliers and what to put in the brief.

Who it is for

Small and medium-sized businesses that are considering AI but are not sure where to start, or that have received a proposal and want a second opinion. Particularly relevant if you have been offered a vendor-led deployment.

Pricing

An AI readiness and vendor selection review is a fixed £950 (excluding VAT). You get a written report within 5 working days of kick-off, after a free 30-minute scoping call.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose an AI platform for my business?

Start with the problem, not the product: define what the system must do and how you will measure it, then compare options on fit, real running cost, data handling and how easily you could leave. Be wary of any adviser paid by the platform they recommend.

How much does it cost to run an AI system?

Costs depend mostly on usage: how many requests, how much data, and which model. Many platforms charge by usage, so a pilot that looks cheap can become expensive at scale. We estimate realistic usage before you commit.

Is my business ready for AI?

You are ready when you have a clear, specific problem, data that is accessible and reasonably clean, someone inside the business who will own the result, and a way to measure whether it worked. If not, we will tell you what to fix first, even if that means not buying AI yet.

Should I use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or something else?

It depends on the task, your data and your existing systems. We compare options against your specific use case and give a written recommendation with the reasoning.

Do you take commission from AI vendors?

No. Interweb360 is paid only by you.
