Mapping & prioritisation
AI audit: we map your real ROI opportunities — not wishful thinking.
Four out of five AI projects fail because they should never have started. An AI audit focuses your budget on the use case that puts you 18 months ahead — with an executable roadmap and numbers you can defend in the boardroom.

Why run an AI audit before launching an AI agent project
Four out of five AI projects fail because they should never have started. Too technical, poorly scoped, no real user, no owner. That is exactly what an AI audit is for: avoid spending €80,000 on an agent nobody asked for, and put budget on the case that puts you 18 months ahead.
At Katalyx we do not run audits to produce PowerPoint. We run them to give you an executable roadmap the following week, with numbers you can defend in the boardroom and a pilot ready to start.
What a Katalyx AI audit includes (precise deliverables)
Four axes: technical, business, data, compliance. Six tangible deliverables including a quantified 12-month roadmap.
Concretely, you get:
- 01Process mapping: 12–30 candidate processes, scored by hours recoverable, technical complexity, and risk.
- 02Prioritised shortlist: 3–5 AI agent use cases, each with problem, target solution, estimated gain, and implementation cost.
- 03ROI business case: 12–36 month financial model, conservative / realistic / ambitious scenarios, payback period.
- 0412-month roadmap: quarter by quarter, dependencies, milestones, resources, total and quarterly budget.
- 05Data & compliance audit: data quality available, GDPR / AI Act fit, leakage risks, recommended governance.
- 06Experimentation plan: protocol for the first POC to launch within 30 days (KPIs, scope, team, duration, go/no-go criteria).
A 5-day method — structured and closed-ended
The audit runs over 5 working days across 3 calendar weeks. We deliberately keep it short: an audit that runs too long becomes a report that sits in a drawer.
- D1
Framing and alignment
3-hour workshop with the CEO plus 2 business directors. We qualify ambition, list constraints (budget, GDPR, calendar), and identify sponsors. You sign the NDA; we get access to the tools.
- D2 → D3
Business and data discovery
8–12 thirty-minute interviews with end users (sales, ops, support, HR depending on scope). Parallel data audit: quality, accessibility, governance. Detection of high-potential processes.
- D4
Scoring, costing, and compliance
We score the 12–30 candidates on the Katalyx grid (8 criteria). We filter the shortlist to 3–5 cases. GDPR / AI Act compliance review. Build the ROI business case.
- D5
Readout and commitment
90-minute readout to the executive committee (on-site or video). Present roadmap, business case, POC plan. You leave with a clear decision: who owns what, from when, with which budget.
Which companies is Katalyx’s AI Agents audit for
Katalyx’s AI audit is calibrated for French SMEs and mid-market firms (15–1,500 employees) with a clear opportunity and room to experiment without betting the company. If you are an 8-person startup with no recurring revenue, this is not for you (we will suggest a free 2-hour workshop instead).
You are in the right place if:
- You generate more than €1.5M in revenue and have identified at least one critical repetitive process (support, quoting, qualification, reporting).
- You have already tried ChatGPT internally but have not crossed into industrialised projects.
- You have an executive sponsor (CEO, COO, CTO, CDO) who decides and unlocks budgets without four committees.
- You want a partner who delivers a real agent within 90 days — not a consultancy selling six months of framing.
Pricing and guarantees
The standard Katalyx AI audit is €4,900 excl. VAT (fixed fee, 5 days, 6 deliverables). For companies with more than 250 employees or multi-BU scopes, expect €7,900–€12,000 excl. VAT. No surprises: firm quote before signature.
Our guarantee is simple. If within 60 days of the readout you have not validated at least one actionable use case, we refund the audit in full. To date, never claimed.

« Très belle collaboration avec l'équipe Katalyx sur le développement d'iZola. Projet exigeant techniquement (KYC biométrique, signature électronique, scoring), tenue des délais, qualité du code, et surtout un vrai dialogue produit du début à la fin. Un mot pour Victor, notre chef de projet : disponibilité, rigueur, écoute, et cette capacité rare à anticiper les sujets avant qu'ils deviennent des problèmes. Une vraie différence sur un projet de cette ampleur. Merci à toute l'équipe — on continue l'aventure ensemble. À recommander. »

« Katalyx nous a accompagné avec une approche très structurée pour développer de nouvelles solutions. Leur compréhension de nos enjeux stratégiques et leur capacité à transformer une idée en plan d’action concret font vraiment la différence.

« J’ai eu l’occasion d’échanger à plusieurs reprises avec Enguerrand dans un cadre entrepreneurial. Ce qui m’a marqué, c’est sa capacité à penser “stratégie” avant d’agir, à chercher des solutions concrètes plutôt que des promesses. Son approche est jeune, mais déjà structurée et tournée vers le développement de solutions qui font sens pour les entrepreneurs. Un bel état d’esprit, beaucoup de clarté et une vraie orientation résultat. »
Six questions before you sign.
The objections we hear most often. If yours is missing, raise it in the first call — we prefer straight talk to endless slides.
What is the difference between an AI audit and a POC?
An AI audit maps and prioritises use cases: that is strategy. A POC (Proof of Concept) builds and tests one specific case over about two weeks: that is execution. The audit lasts 5 days; the POC about 10. Many clients run both in sequence: audit to decide, POC to validate, industrialisation to produce.
Do you work with large enterprises?
Our core focus remains SMEs and mid-market (15–1,500 employees). We also support business units or departments in large groups that want to move fast, but our method is calibrated for velocity — not 30-person committees.
How long until the readout?
21 calendar days as standard, from day 1 of framing. We can accelerate to 14 days for urgent missions (+20% fee).
Are you independent from vendors?
Yes. We take no vendor commission. We recommend OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Microsoft, n8n, Make, or others — depending on your case. Our audits are neutral and auditable.
Confidentiality and NDA?
Standard Katalyx NDA signed before day 1. User interviews are anonymised in the report. No client data is reused or leaves the EU.
What happens after the audit if we do not continue with Katalyx?
You leave with all deliverables, usable by your internal team or another provider. No exclusivity clause. Our interest is aligned: we want your AI project to succeed, whoever you work with.
