The $5,000 Signal Audit

Find the AI workflows worth building, before you build anything.

A fixed-price diagnostic for mid-market B2B teams. In 14 to 30 days we map your process, set a data baseline, and hand you a technical blueprint.

Many AI projects stall before they pay off

It’s rarely the model. These are common reasons, and they can all be dealt with before anything is built.

  • No agreed definition of “working”

    If nobody sets the success measure up front, nobody can say afterward whether the project worked.

  • Not connected to your systems

    A demo that can't read from or write to your CRM, ERP or inbox stays a demo.

  • The people who use it weren't asked

    Tools built without the daily users get worked around, or quietly dropped.

What you get from a Signal Audit

One fixed price, 14 to 30 days, four deliverables. You can build from the blueprint with your own team or with us.

  1. 01

    A process map

    How the work really flows today in the area you choose, including the handoffs and manual steps.

  2. 02

    A data baseline

    Today's volumes, times and error rates, measured with you where the data exists, so later AI work can be judged against real numbers.

  3. 03

    A ranked shortlist

    The workflows worth automating, ranked by effort and likely value, with the reasoning shown.

  4. 04

    A technical blueprint

    For the top candidate: how it would be built, which systems it touches, where a person approves, and an estimate to build it.

Best fit

Mid-market B2B teams, for example in software, financial services, health technology and logistics, who want to know where AI is worth the effort before committing to a build.

Not included

  • Building production systems
  • Modernizing legacy systems
  • Cleaning or restructuring your data
  • Ongoing support or monitoring

Those are separate, scoped quotes.

How it works

Three steps over two to four weeks.

  1. Step 1

    Kickoff and access

    We agree the area to look at, who we talk to, and what read-only access we need. Nothing is changed in your systems.

  2. Step 2

    Map and measure

    We follow the work, talk to the people doing it, and measure the baseline numbers.

  3. Step 3

    Blueprint and review

    We walk you through the shortlist and the blueprint, and answer questions. Then you decide what to do next.

What the blueprint describes

How a workflow would connect to your systems, where the AI model sits, and which steps a person must approve.

Your AI workflow
  • Your systems
  • AI model
  • Human approval

A human in the loop, by design

AI that can act on your systems needs limits. This is how we design them, and we agree the details with you in writing.

  • A person approves high-stakes steps

    Before a workflow sends a mass message, issues a refund, or changes a record that is hard to undo, it pauses and waits for a named person to approve.

  • Least-privilege access

    Each workflow gets only the access it needs. Credentials are scoped and kept in environment variables, never in code or documents.

  • AI doesn't deploy itself

    AI-drafted workflows are built and tested in a separate environment. They don't edit or publish to production on their own.

  • Failures are visible

    If a step fails, a person is alerted. Nothing is allowed to fail silently.

  • Your data stays yours

    We'll agree in writing that your data isn't used to train models, and tell you which model providers would process it before you sign anything.

  • Measured, not assumed

    AI output varies, so acceptance is set up front as a measurable threshold on a test set, not a promise of perfect results.

About ISO/IEC 42001

Tray is not certified to ISO/IEC 42001 and does not claim compliance with it. It is a standard for AI management systems, and some security teams ask about it. If yours does, tell us early. We’ll say plainly what we can and can’t show.

One fixed price to start

Signal Audit

$5,000

Fixed price, 14 to 30 days.

  • Process map, data baseline, ranked shortlist and technical blueprint
  • If you go on to build with us, the audit fee is credited toward the build

Builds and ongoing management are quoted after the audit, once we both know the scope.

FAQs. Short answers about the Signal Audit.

What exactly is the Signal Audit?
A fixed-price, 14 to 30 day diagnostic. You get a process map, a data baseline, a ranked shortlist of workflows worth automating, and a technical blueprint for the top one.
Who is it for?
Mid-market B2B teams that want to know where AI is worth the effort before they commit to a build. It isn't a fit for very small or purely local businesses.
Can't our IT team do this?
Possibly. Many teams can build a prototype. The audit helps when you want an outside view on what is worth building, how to measure it, and where a person should stay in charge. Your team can build from the blueprint.
We already have ChatGPT Enterprise or Copilot.
Chat tools help one person with one task at a time. Workflows that run in the background and touch your systems carry different risks. The audit tells you whether you need one.
Do you promise a return?
No. The audit measures where you are today and shows where AI might help. What a build would deliver depends on your business, so we set measurable targets and don't promise results.
What happens to our data?
The audit uses read-only access. We'll agree in writing that your data isn't used to train models, and tell you which model providers would process it before you sign.
Are you ISO 42001 certified?
No, and we don't claim compliance. If your security team requires it, tell us early so we can say plainly what we can and can't show.
What if we want to build after the audit?
We quote the build separately once the scope is clear. If you build with us, the audit fee is credited toward it. You can also take the blueprint elsewhere.
Who is Tray?
Tray is new and run by its founder, and I'd rather say so plainly than pretend to be bigger. Work is done remotely, at times that suit your time zone.

Run by the founder. Plain about what it can do.

Tray helps mid-market B2B teams work out which AI automations are worth building, before they spend on building them.

Tray is new and run by its founder, working remotely. We’d rather say so plainly than pretend to be bigger. We’ll tell you what we can and can’t do before you spend anything.

I’m Trayvon, the person who runs your audit.

Tray is new, so I’m not going to pretend I have a long client list. Instead you buy one small, fixed-price audit and judge Tray on what it delivers. You’ll deal with me directly.

I’m based in Abuja, Nigeria, and I run audits remotely.
