AI Signal Audit

The Signal Audit is the research method WalterSignal is named after. Most AI projects fail because the wrong work was automated. The audit maps your workflows, surveys the AI landscape against them, and returns a written report naming three pilots worth running, in order.

It is built for insurance agents, small-firm lawyers, med spas, financial advisors, and dental or specialty medical practices that need to know what to do before buying another tool.

What you get

A decision document, not a pitch deck.

Workflow map across the process under review

AI opportunity register with risks and dependencies

Prioritized shortlist of three pilots

Risk and governance notes for the owner and workflow lead

Recommended 90-day sequence

PDF report plus a 60-minute walkthrough

What to ignore

Ideas that sound impressive but lack data, workflow ownership, or a business case get ruled out in writing.

What to build

The report names three pilots with tools, dependencies, risks, and success criteria.

What to run

If a pilot is worth operating after launch, the audit explains the governance and maintenance load before the build starts.
