FAQ
Common questions about the Rialtis assessment, our approach, and what to expect before making AI or automation decisions.
The Rialtis assessment is a short, industry-specific evaluation designed to help small and mid-sized businesses understand where AI and automation realistically fit in their operations.
Rather than recommending tools upfront, the assessment focuses on how your business actually works today. The goal is to provide clarity, reduce uncertainty, and support better decision-making before you invest time, money, or effort into new technology.
Yes, but in a practical sense.
Rialtis functions as an AI readiness assessment for small businesses, with a focus on operational fit rather than technical maturity. It looks at workflows, constraints, risk tolerance, and capacity for change, not whether you are “advanced enough” to use AI.
In some cases, the assessment may indicate that now is not the right time to automate certain processes. That outcome is intentional and valid.
Most AI consulting services begin with tools, platforms, or automation workflows. Rialtis begins with your operating reality.
This assessment does not sell software, automation builds, or implementation packages. It is designed to stand alone as a clarity-first evaluation, separate from vendors or tool recommendations.
If implementation guidance is appropriate later, it is optional and grounded in your constraints.
Yes. Each assessment is designed by industry.
While Rialtis uses a consistent decision framework across all businesses, the questions, examples, and recommendations are adapted to reflect how work flows in your specific field. This ensures that guidance feels relevant and realistic rather than generic.
Industries currently supported include healthcare, professional services, home services and trades, local services, and retail or small ecommerce.
No.
Rialtis does not rely on automated scoring or generic AI output. AI is used to support drafting and organization, but every report is shaped by defined logic and reviewed with practical judgment.
This ensures recommendations are explainable, restrained, and grounded in real-world constraints rather than theoretical possibilities.
Sometimes, but not by default.
The assessment focuses first on whether automation makes sense at all and where it might help. If tool recommendations are appropriate, they are contextual and optional, not prescriptive.
In many cases, the most valuable guidance is understanding what not to focus on yet.
That is a common and completely acceptable outcome.
One of the goals of the assessment is to help business owners avoid premature or risky adoption. If your business is better served by stabilizing processes or improving visibility first, the report will reflect that.
Clarity is the product, not adoption.
The assessment itself is short and designed to be completed in about 3-5 minutes.
The resulting report is intentionally focused, highlighting only the most relevant insights and recommendations so you can review it without feeling overwhelmed.
Rialtis AI assessments and reports are designed for owner-led and lean teams who want thoughtful AI guidance without pressure.
They are especially useful for businesses where time is limited, decisions carry risk, and operational efficiency matters, but where rapid experimentation or constant system changes are not realistic.
No.
There is no obligation to adopt tools, change systems, or move forward beyond what feels appropriate for your business. The assessment is designed to support informed decision-making at your pace.
After you complete the assessment, your responses are reviewed using a structured decision framework. You then receive a personalized report that outlines your current operating context, key constraints, prioritized opportunities, and clear next steps. Reports are usually delivered within 48 hours, with rare exceptions during high volume.
Optional implementation guidance may be available if and when it makes sense.
Yes. The assessment is designed specifically with small and mid-sized businesses in mind, including solo operators and lean teams.
Recommendations are scaled to match your size, resources, and capacity for change.
You can begin by selecting the assessment for your industry and completing the intake form. From there, Rialtis handles the analysis and provides a clear, practical report to help you move forward thoughtfully.
