Most AI projects fail because teams arrive with shovels, not a map.

Friction Audit Lite is a 2-week, evidence-first diagnostic that tells you whether AI will actually deliver ROI in your Jira — and exactly where to start.

What is Friction Audit Lite?

A 2-week diagnostic for engineering and operations teams whose Jira has become a bottleneck instead of a system of record.

We analyze your actual Jira data and workflows, identify where work gets stuck, repeated, or rerouted, and deliver a ranked shortlist of AI-ready opportunities — with conservative ROI estimates and implementation risk.

This is not a demo.
It’s a decision tool.

This is the right first step if:

  • Finding information in Jira feels like archaeology
  • The same problems are solved again and again
  • Senior engineers act as “human routers”
  • You suspect inefficiency but lack hard evidence
  • You don’t want another AI pilot without a business case

If this sounds familiar, the Friction Audit is the fastest way to get clarity.

We only proceed if intake confirms a valid automation opportunity exists. If it doesn’t, you pay nothing.

Once analysis begins, the fee is committed — because so are we.

(No guessing. No demo theater.)

Arti surfaced recurring SAP export errors tied to a misconfigured integration. Fixing that single root cause eliminated hundreds of monthly incidents.

IT Service Manager, Machinery Manufacturer

We thought our bottleneck was process complexity — turns out one engineer was resolving 88% of all module issues. The audit exposed a single-point-of-failure risk we didn’t see.

Head of Engineering, Industrial Software Company

Our request labels were chaos — dozens of inconsistent components and tags. Artiquare helped us rebuild a clean taxonomy, which now drives smarter routing, clearer ownership, and faster onboarding.

Service Operations Lead, Automation Technology Company

We went from 85% dark data to 72% structured coverage in 2 weeks. It’s now powering automated routing, smarter onboarding, and freeing up experts to focus on solving — not sorting — problems.

VP Operations, Automation Technology Provider

Stop Guessing. Start with evidence.

If AI can help your Jira workflows, this audit will prove it.
If it can’t, you’ll know before wasting months.

No slides. No sales pitch. Just a frank assessment of whether we can deliver measurable ROI for you.
