Free tools for enterprise AI programs
17 instruments for the parts of an AI program that get skipped: scoring where you actually stand, writing the policy, evaluating the vendor, modeling the case, and finding the personal data before somebody pastes it into a chatbot.
These are the tools we use on engagements. They are free, they need no account, and they produce something you can put in front of an executive committee rather than a score with no working shown.
Every tool here works with no API key configured. The scoring and the documents are produced in code; where a model is used at all it only polishes wording, and the tool falls back to its own output if the model is unavailable. Nothing you enter is used to train anything.
Governance and risk
The work that has to exist before an AI program can survive an audit, a board question or an incident.
Enterprise AI Readiness Assessment
A weighted score across six dimensions, with a maturity tier and a prioritized roadmap you can put in front of a board.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
Company AI-Use Policy Generator
A tailored acceptable-use policy assembled from a governed clause library, not a template you have to rewrite.
Works with no API key. A model only polishes the wording.
AI Compliance Readiness Audit
Scores your readiness against the AI regulatory frameworks that actually apply to you.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
AI Incident-Response Playbook Generator
A written playbook for AI incidents: detection, containment, disclosure and who decides what.
Works with no API key. A model only polishes the wording.
PII and Secrets Pre-Flight Scanner
Scans text for personal data and credentials before somebody pastes it into a model.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
Vendors and cost
Choosing what to buy, proving it was worth buying, and knowing what it costs to run.
AI Vendor Evaluation Scorecard
Score AI vendors on the same axes, so the comparison survives contact with procurement.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
AI Vendor RFP Generator
Builds an RFP that asks AI vendors the questions most RFPs forget to ask.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
AI ROI and Business-Case Modeler
Builds the financial case for an AI initiative from your numbers, with the assumptions visible.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
AI Cost and Usage Dashboard
Turns model spend and usage into the picture that shows where the money is going.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
Model Bake-off Harness
Runs the same task set across several models and puts the outputs side by side.
Works with no API key. A model only polishes the wording.
Adoption and enablement
Getting AI used well by people whose job is not AI, which is where most programs actually fail.
AI Use-Case Prioritization Matrix
Scores and ranks candidate use cases by value and feasibility, so the first one is the right one.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
Shadow-AI Usage Assessor
Estimates the unsanctioned AI use already happening in your organization, and what it exposes.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
AI Training Curriculum Generator
Builds a role-by-role training curriculum, because a developer and a paralegal need different things.
Works with no API key. A model only polishes the wording.
Custom Internal Assistant Builder
Specifies an internal assistant properly: scope, data sources, guardrails and rollout.
Works with no API key. A model only polishes the wording.
SOP Generator
Turns a described process into a written standard operating procedure.
Works with no API key. A model only polishes the wording.
Prompt Library Manager
Stores, versions and shares the prompts your organization has approved.
Runs entirely in code. No model involved.
AI Center-of-Excellence Toolkit
The charter, operating model and artefacts for standing up an AI CoE that does something.
Works with no API key. A model only polishes the wording.
Why these are free
Because the work they do is the work that should happen before anyone signs a consulting contract. An organization that scores its own readiness, writes its own policy and models its own business case is a better client than one that outsources those judgments, and it knows what it is buying.
If the output tells you that you do not need us yet, that is a real answer and worth having. We would rather you found that out here.
Start with a conversation, not a proposal
Thirty minutes. We will tell you what we would change first, and whether you need us at all.
