The agentic AI diagnostic for SMEs

You are deploying an AI agent that will act on your behalf. Do you know where it stops and you start?

When an AI agent acts outside its intended scope, the gap between what it was authorised to do and what it actually did is your liability, not the vendor's. This diagnostic finds that gap before it costs you.

The problem

Your agent already has a default behaviour. You did not choose it. A default is what runs when no governance decision has been made, and right now that default is your policy.

You have logs that show what the agent did. You do not have a structure that stopped it from doing the wrong thing in the first place.

Your vendor is responsible for the tool. You are responsible for what that tool does inside your business.

What the diagnostic covers

Three dimensions, worked through against your own implementation

Boundaries

Where your agent acts without a defined boundary

Every agentic deployment has two boundaries. The one you authorised, and the one the agent will reach by default when no boundary is set. We map both: what the agent is currently permitted to do, and what it will do on its own when the rule you assumed was there is missing.

Ask yourself

If your agent hit a situation you never planned for, what would it do, and who decided that?

Handoffs

Where control passes between your agent and your team

The risk is rarely the agent acting or a person acting. It sits in the handoff, the moment where neither the agent nor a human clearly owns the decision. We map each of those moments and show what happens to accountability when something goes wrong inside one of them.

Ask yourself

When the agent escalates to a person, is anyone actually required to act, or is it assumed someone will?

Override

What you can do if the agent acts outside scope

Detecting a problem after it has happened and stopping it before it executes are two different capabilities. We assess which one you have. The aim is a structure that prevents unauthorised execution, not a log that explains it once the cost is already incurred.

Ask yourself

Right now, could you stop your agent mid-action, or could you only read about it afterwards?

What you get

Four deliverables, not a comprehensive report

A mapped inventory of every decision point

Every decision point in your current or planned agentic implementation, documented and classified by authority level, so you can see exactly where the agent decides and where a person is meant to.

A gap assessment across the three dimensions

Your implementation rated against boundaries, handoffs, and override and recovery, with each gap scored by urgency so you know what is genuinely exposed and what can wait.

A prioritised remediation sequence

What to fix first, what to address in the next implementation phase, and what your vendor should be accountable for providing rather than you.

A written report built for internal use

Formatted to be presented to your board, your legal counsel, or a future auditor without translation. The document does the explaining for you.

Delivered as a written report within five business days of the session. This is a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement. One deliverable, no retainer, and no ongoing commitment required.

How it works

Four steps. One engagement, one deliverable.

1

Short intake form

You complete a brief intake covering your implementation context, the tools you are using, and your current go-live timeline. A few minutes, before anything is scheduled.

2

90-minute structured session

A focused remote session where the diagnostic questions are worked through against your specific implementation. Not a generic workshop. Your agent, your boundaries, your handoffs.

3

Report within five business days

You receive the full written report inside five business days of the session: the decision-point inventory, the gap assessment, and the remediation sequence.

4

Optional 30-minute debrief

An optional call to walk through the findings and answer questions. Useful if you want to brief a wider team. Not required.

Who this is for

Built for one specific situation

This diagnostic is for SMEs that are evaluating, piloting, or in early deployment of an agentic AI solution and have not yet formally defined their authority boundaries or human oversight structure.

It is built for the governance gap between what an agent is intended to do and what it is currently structured to do. It is not an exercise for businesses still researching whether to use AI, and it is not an IT audit or a cybersecurity assessment.

Regulated sector note

If your business operates in a regulated sector, the report can include a mapping of findings to the relevant frameworks, including the IMDA Model AI Governance Framework, the PDPA, or sector-specific guidelines, without changing the scope or the price.

Pricing

One number. No tiers, no packages.

S$2,800

Fixed scope, fixed price. The full diagnostic: intake, the 90-minute session, and the written report within five business days. No retainer and no follow-on obligation.

If you go on to a larger Aivance engagement within 60 days, the full S$2,800 is credited against it. The diagnostic effectively pays for itself if you decide to go deeper.
