AI Workflow Audit
Fixed-scope diagnostic for one or two workflows. We tell you whether to keep them on closed APIs, move them to open-weight or private cloud, simplify them, or stop using AI for them — in one written recommendation.
- Price: €2,000 fixed
- Scope: 1–2 workflows
- Output: written decision report
- Best for: EU teams using or evaluating AI in sensitive, costly, or blocked workflows
What sits in the report
Seven sections. One written report. The go / no-go recommendation is named in one sentence on page one.
Workflow map
Every manual, software, and AI step in the workflow you scope. Inputs, outputs, hand-offs, where humans still belong.
AI usefulness review
Where AI actually moves the needle, and where a rule, template, or removed step would do the job for less cost and risk.
Data sensitivity assessment
What data flows through each step, what can leave your perimeter, what cannot. Plain language for legal and security review.
Closed API vs open-weight vs private deployment comparison
Side-by-side on your workflow. Assumptions written down so you can challenge them.
Cost, risk, and speed model
Fully loaded cost, residual risk, and latency per option at your stated volume.
Go / no-go recommendation
One sentence on page one: keep on API, move private, simplify, or stop using AI for it. A written argument behind it.
Practical implementation path
If the recommendation is to change architecture, the report names the first three concrete steps — not a slide deck.
This is not implementation
Sobrn does not build or deploy systems during the audit. The audit tells you whether implementation is worth doing, what architecture fits, and what trade-offs to expect.
If, after reading the report, you want help implementing — that is a separate scope and price. We will quote it plainly, or refer you on if a different practice is a better fit. We do not resell GPUs, hosting, cloud credits, or model subscriptions.
You should not buy this if
Self-filter now — it saves both of us time.
- You do not have a specific workflow in mind.
- You only want general AI brainstorming.
- You want someone to build a chatbot immediately.
- You are not ready to share basic workflow and data context.
- You need a full compliance / legal assessment (we touch data sensitivity, not formal DPIA sign-off).
Four steps from fit call to report
Fit call (30 min)
You book a slot; we talk through the workflow, current tools, and what is prompting the review. Founder-led. No pitch deck.
Scoped proposal
Plain language: scope (one or two workflows), inputs, timeline, price. You decide.
Audit (2–3 weeks)
We map the workflow, benchmark on your data where applicable, and model cost / risk / speed across the four options.
Written report + walkthrough
Recommendation on page one. Walkthrough call. The report is yours; we do not gate-keep conclusions.

Questions buyers ask before they commit
Is private deployment cheaper than closed APIs?
It depends on volume, latency targets, and ops capacity. For many low-volume workflows, closed APIs are cheaper fully loaded. We model your specific case so you decide on numbers, not slogans.
Do you always recommend moving off closed APIs?
No. Roughly a third of the workflows we look at do not justify changing architecture; we say so in writing. The report supports four conclusions: keep on API, move private, simplify, or stop using AI for it.
What if AI is not the right tool for our workflow at all?
We will say so. “Simplify” covers replacing AI with a rule, template, or removed step where that is the honest answer. We do not stretch a problem to fit a model.
Do you build the system after the audit?
Not during the audit. The audit tells you whether implementation is worth doing, what architecture fits, and what trade-offs to expect. If you want help implementing afterwards, that is a separate scope and price.
Can we sign an NDA before sharing details?
Yes. Mutual NDA on request before kick-off; we can sign earlier if counsel requires it before you share sensitive architecture.
Do you work outside the EU?
No. Engagements are limited to EU and EEA buyers and processing.
Why one or two workflows, not more?
Depth beats breadth. One workflow audited honestly is more useful than ten skimmed. Two tightly related workflows fit the fixed price; broader scopes are quoted separately.

30 minutes. Founder-led. We will tell you quickly whether the audit is worth your money.
