The AI Readiness Audit

Your firm, organized and written down.

You walk away with your firm on paper: six reports, each reviewed by a licensed attorney and legal engineer, and a plain plan for what to do first. Whatever AI you buy next finally has something real to work with — the score is just the byproduct.

What you walk away with

Six reports you can act on.

Not a slide deck. Six working documents, tailored to your firm and reviewed by a licensed attorney and legal engineer.

It’s your own knowledge, drawn out of your team’s heads and organized into something you can act on — yours to keep, whether or not you ever build a thing.

01

AI Priority Roadmap

Your firm’s readiness score across 7 key dimensions. Strengths and gaps, at a glance.

02

Executive Summary

Your overall readiness band, top findings, and key recommendations.

03

Ranked AI opportunities specific to your practice areas, with ROI estimates.

04

Tech Stack Analysis

What your current tools can and cannot do, plus what is missing.

05

Bespoke Tool Recommendations

Vendor-neutral AI tool picks matched to your practice, budget, and readiness.

06

30-Day Action Plan

Prioritized steps with milestones and quick wins to start immediately.

Yours to keep. You receive a license to use the deliverables for your firm’s internal purposes. The tool picks are vendor-neutral and built to work with the systems you already trust. No lock-in.

The audit documents and recommends. Building the SOPs, working skills, and automations it points to is a separate, optional next step. See how implementation works.

Seven areas we assess. One number.

Your answers are scored across seven areas by our proprietary model, then rolled into a single Composite Readiness Score out of 100.

Readiness dial: 68 out of 100, Scale-ready
Scale-ready Foundation-first 0–39 Pilot-ready 40–59 Scale-ready 60–79 Agent-ready 80–100
  • Technology Infrastructure area 01

  • Team Comfort & AI Readiness area 03
  • Security Requirements area 04
  • Data Management Practices area 05
  • Compliance Posture area 06
  • Strategic Objectives area 07

Together, the seven areas roll into your Composite Readiness Score.

Your score lands in one of four bands. Each band comes with a plain answer about what to do next.

Foundation-first  0–39

Get the process and the files in order before any AI. We’ll say so plainly.

Pilot-ready  40–59

Small, low-risk pilots, with a human reviewing everything that comes out.

Scale-ready  60–79

Several workflows at once, with your tools lightly connected to each other.

Agent-ready  80–100

Advanced automation, with monitoring, and the guardrails already written down.

Strong instincts, thin documentation. Start with two small pilots and a human check on every output.

Two real firms, names removed. They show what a result looks like. They are not a prediction of your number.

The part that matters most

What’s safe to try now. What to wait on.

Your report sorts AI work into four classes and gives each one a straight answer. No maybes.

  • Help with your own drafts and summaries

    Usually safe first
  • Routine steps handled for you

    Safe once it’s written down
  • Drafts for clients You approve every single one. Nothing auto-sends. Ever.

    Never auto-sends
  • Letting AI act on its own And we’ll tell you when that changes.

    Not yet

Whatever your score, four things always stay human.

Anything a client reads Anything filed with a court Settlement language Deadlines

No score changes this. These are not on the table, and they never will be.

One workflow, written down.

During the Discovery Interview, every workflow Lantair maps gets broken into seven parts: the trigger, the inputs, the rules, the vocabulary, the checks, the work itself, and the output. That structure is what would make a workflow usable by a person or a machine once it is built.

Here’s a demand-letter workflow in that format, shortened; a full map carries every rule your team applies.

triggerAttorney marks the file “ready for demand.”
inputsMedical records, bills summary, lost-wage documentation, client statement.
rulesIf damages exceed policy limits, the attorney reviews before drafting begins.
vocabulary“Specials” means documented economic damages — medical bills plus lost wages. Nothing else.
checksThe attorney reads every demand before it leaves the building.
workAssemble the facts, total the damages, draft the letter in the firm’s format.
outputA draft demand letter, waiting in the attorney’s review queue.

Illustrative: a shortened example of the format, not a real client’s workflow.

Every decision rule you carry in your head is a specification waiting to be written down.

Four steps. Then it’s yours.

  1. Discovery Interview

    A conversational, AI-assisted session, 30 to 90 minutes depending on firm size, guided by Lantair. It gets how your firm runs out of your team’s heads and onto the record.

  2. Analysis & Scoring

    Your responses are scored across the seven areas by our proprietary model, producing your Composite Readiness Score.

  3. Deliverable Production

    Six reports, each reviewed by a licensed attorney and legal engineer, tailored to your firm.

  4. Walkthrough & Next Steps

    A live 60-minute review of the findings with Christian and Meagan, with clear recommendations. You leave knowing exactly what to do first.

Timeline: about 30 business days from start to final delivery, subject to scheduling.

After that, implementation is optional. The audit stands on its own, and you can take it to any implementer. If you continue with us, 40% of your audit fee is credited toward the work. See how implementation works.

Christian Brown Dual-licensed attorney, 13+ years. Ran AI due diligence at a ~$20B AUM fintech.
Meagan Brown Co-founder. Change management and adoption: the half everyone else skips. “Not a product problem, but a human one.”
