    Find the opportunities worth pursuing

    An opportunity score gives you a consistent basis for deciding where to spend discovery, sales or advisory time.

    Portfolio sorting:Rank every client and prospect by opportunity score to see which relationships deserve more of your attention
    Prospect prioritisation:Focus business development on companies where public signals suggest a more relevant AI discussion
    Client conversations:Walk into a meeting with an independent, evidence-based starting point and questions to test with the client
    Advisory positioning:Identify common opportunity themes across your portfolio to shape new service offerings around real demand
    Investment screening:Evaluate acquisition targets or portfolio companies for AI-driven growth potential using consistent criteria

    What the score measures

    Each opportunity score is built from four weighted factors, assessed against a sector baseline for that industry.

    Operational Efficiency

    How much can AI reduce costs, speed up processes, or eliminate manual work in the company's operations?

    Competitive Advantage

    Can AI help the company differentiate its products, services, or customer experience from competitors?

    Revenue Potential

    Are there opportunities to create new AI-enabled products, services, or business models that generate additional revenue?

    Solution Availability

    Are proven AI solutions available for the company's industry and use cases, or would custom development be required?

    Opportunity and disruption together

    AI Risks scores every company on both dimensions simultaneously. A company can face high disruption risk and have high opportunity potential at the same time. Knowing which quadrant a client sits in shapes the conversation you need to have.

    Low Opportunity
    High Opportunity
    High Disruption Risk
    Urgent attention needed
    Vulnerable to displacement. Limited ability to adopt AI as a defence. Prioritise risk mitigation conversations.
    High-value advisory opportunity
    Under threat from AI disruption but well placed to adopt AI themselves. Your most commercially interesting clients.
    Low Disruption Risk
    Low priority
    Relatively insulated from AI disruption and limited opportunity to benefit. Monitor rather than actively pursue.
    Strong growth potential
    Well positioned to benefit from AI adoption without immediate threat pressure. Good candidates for proactive advisory work.

    What is an AI Opportunity Assessment?

    An AI opportunity assessment evaluates a company's potential to benefit from adopting artificial intelligence and automation technologies. It examines factors including operational efficiency gains, competitive differentiation potential, new revenue streams, and the availability of proven AI solutions for the company's sector.

    Unlike disruption risk assessment, which focuses on the threat AI poses to an existing business model, opportunity assessment identifies upside potential. Companies with high opportunity scores are well-positioned to gain competitive advantages, reduce operating costs, or create new revenue through AI adoption.

    AI Risks generates opportunity scores using real-time web research into the company, its industry, and relevant AI developments. Each score is benchmarked against a sector baseline so comparisons across your portfolio are consistent and meaningful.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is the opportunity score calculated?

    The opportunity score (0 to 10) is produced by AI analysis of the company's industry, business model, operations, and competitive position, combined with real-time web search for recent developments. It is then calibrated against a sector baseline to ensure consistency across analyses.

    Can a company have both high disruption risk and high opportunity?

    Yes, and it is common. A company facing significant AI disruption risk may also have high opportunity if it can successfully adopt AI itself. The dual scoring approach captures this nuance, giving you a more complete picture than a single metric.

    How current is the analysis?

    Every analysis uses real-time web search to incorporate the latest information about the company, its industry, and relevant AI developments. You can re-run analyses at any point to reflect market changes.

    How many companies can I analyse at once?

    You can submit a batch of companies in a single job. Results come through as each analysis completes, so you do not need to wait for the full batch before reviewing scores.
