# See where AI will actually earn, before you spend a single euro. > A two-week, fixed-price AI audit: a process map, a use-case ranking, a return-and-cost estimate, and a GDPR / EU AI Act compliance review. A concrete report at the end. - **Canonical URL:** https://appwave.dev/en/services/ai-audit - **Language:** en --- In two weeks we map your processes, work out where AI pays off, estimate the return and the cost, and check every recommendation against GDPR and the EU AI Act. You leave with a plan, not a folder for the shelf. - Fixed price - Two weeks - A concrete report at the end The audit is analysis only - any implementation is a separate, deliberate decision on your side. ## What an AI audit is An AI audit works out, before anything gets built, which processes in a company are genuinely worth automating, what they cost today, and how long the investment takes to return. It ends with a map of processes carrying real numbers and a recommendation that sometimes reads "leave this one alone". AppWave runs the audit as a separately paid service, so its conclusion does not depend on whether you buy anything afterwards. ## No buying a pig in a poke. No deploying blind. The most expensive AI projects are the ones aimed at the wrong place. An audit costs a fraction of a misspent technology budget that never returns. ### No buying a pig in a poke You know what you're getting into before you sign anything for implementation - with concrete numbers, not a salesperson's promises. ### No deploying blind Numbers and priorities first, technology second. You start with what pays off the most. ### No legal risk Every recommendation passes a GDPR and EU AI Act filter before it ever reaches the plan. A misplaced AI budget usually never returns. See the scale of a sensible engagement in the calculator → ## Four concrete things at the end of the audit. Not generalities - ready material you can make a decision on. ### An AI process map We come in, watch the process live and map out where you lose time. - The process seen on site - Bottlenecks named outright ### A prioritised use-case list Each idea scored for savings, cost and risk. - Ranked by fastest return - A clear "start here" ### Return estimate and quote How much you recover and what it costs, given in numbers. - Savings in hours and money - Implementation cost range ### GDPR compliance review Whether the planned solutions are legal, before you invest in them. - Legal risks flagged early - Recommendations ready for compliance ## Numbers you can check before you ever contact us. No savings percentages pulled out of thin air. What stands below is only what you can verify in the calculator and in the contract. | Value | What it is | How we know | | --- | --- | --- | | from 3,875 PLN/mo | Start with no setup fee | Build, care and fixes in one monthly figure, with no setup fee. Custom implementations on the Polish market typically start at 8,000-30,000 PLN of setup alone, paid upfront, with maintenance billed separately. | | Separate | Paid audit, detached from the sale | You pay for the answer, not for an introduction to a pitch. "Do not do this" is as legitimate a result as any other. | | 45 min | Free call before the audit | No strings. If it becomes clear you do not need an audit, we say so on that call. | Prices and response times come from the calculator and the standing service agreement, so you can verify them before we ever speak. We publish no savings percentages here because they depend on the process; we calculate them for you during the audit. ## Two weeks, from the first call to the report. A clear, four-stage process with a concrete result at the end. ### Day 1 — Call and scope A short meeting where we learn your context and decide which processes we put under the lens. ### Week 1 — Visit and mapping We come to you, watch the work live and map the processes as they really are, not as the theory says. ### Week 2 — Analysis, quote, compliance We calculate savings, prioritise use cases, estimate cost and check every recommendation against GDPR and the EU AI Act. ### At the end — Report and presentation You get a finished report and we walk through it live. You leave with a concrete plan, not a folder for the shelf. ## Numbers, not promises and compliance built in from the start. Three things that set our audit apart from an online survey. ### We come to you We don't audit by questionnaire. We watch what your working day really looks like, because the process on paper rarely matches reality. ### Compliance isn't a footnote GDPR and the EU AI Act are part of every recommendation from the start, not a paragraph tacked on at the end of the report. ### Numbers, not promises Every use case gets a concrete return and cost estimate. You know exactly where you stand before we build anything. ## The risk sits with us, not with you. The Working Implementation Guarantee If the audit finds no process that pays back within a sensible horizon, we will say so plainly and will not propose an implementation. We can promise this because we start with a process audit and turn down projects where we cannot see a return. Saying no before we start costs both sides less than fixing things afterwards. - The code and the repository are yours from day one, copyright included. - Scope and price are agreed before we start. We do not add line items along the way. - After the rollout you keep the same person you talked to at the beginning. ## Common questions about the GDPR-compliant AI audit. ### Which processes do you most often audit? Most often those around data entry, report generation and customer service, plus any repetitive activities that eat up employees' time. ### Does the audit require deploying technology straight away? No. The audit is analysis first. When it's done you get recommendations that may include simple organisational changes as well as AI proposals where it genuinely pays off. ### Is the AI audit GDPR compliant? Yes. We run the audit with GDPR in mind - we analyse what data is processed, where it's stored and how it can be secured, and we build compliance into every recommendation. ### How much does the AI audit cost? The audit has a fixed price, set by the number of processes and the depth of analysis. After an initial call we give you a concrete quote - no surprises at the end. ### Is the audit just a way to sell us a project? It is the fairest question anyone asks about this service. That is why the audit is paid for separately and ends with a document that stays with you whatever you decide next. If the numbers say no process returns the cost of an implementation, that is the audit result, and we write it down as such. ### Where should a company start with AI? With a process that hurts, not with a tool that was in the news. In EY’s 2026 study, 49 percent of Polish companies called their AI implementation disappointing and 17 percent would not repeat the decision. The usual cause is not technical: the company buys a tool before deciding what problem it should solve and how anyone would know it had. ### How much does implementing AI cost? Subscription tools generally run 200-2,000 PLN a month, while custom implementations on the Polish market start at 8,000-30,000 PLN of setup alone, with maintenance billed on top. With us, the build, the care and the fixes sit inside one figure from 3,875 PLN a month, with no setup fee.
