An AI readiness audit is a structured assessment of your business's current technology, lead handling, website performance, marketing, and operations — measured against what AI can realistically improve. Most small and mid-size businesses have 3–5 high-ROI AI opportunities they haven't identified. This checklist helps you find them in under 5 minutes, without paying a consultant to tell you.

A martech stack audit (marketing technology stack audit) is a review of the software tools your business uses for marketing, sales, and customer management — your CRM, email platform, ad tools, analytics, website, and automation systems. The goal is to identify gaps, redundancies, and opportunities to reduce cost or improve performance. An AI readiness audit extends this to assess how AI-ready your current stack is.

The checklist itself takes 3–5 minutes. Reading your result and deciding on next steps takes another 2–3 minutes. The free follow-up AI Audit Call with Chris Lewis takes 30 minutes and is entirely optional — but most businesses that take the call walk away with a clear 90-day AI implementation plan they didn't have going in.

Small and mid-size business owners, entrepreneurs, and operators who want to understand where AI can impact their business most. The checklist is calibrated for businesses doing $250K–$10M in annual revenue — not enterprise companies with dedicated IT departments. If you're running a service business, trades company, professional services firm, or local retailer, this audit is built for your context.

A low score (0–17) doesn't mean you're behind — it means you have significant untapped upside. The businesses Thrive Media has helped the most dramatically often started with the lowest scores because there was more room to improve. A low score tells you exactly where to focus first, which is more valuable than not knowing.
