- Approach
A proven cadence,
engineered for the budget cycle.
Two structured engagements: a four-week audit that produces a board-ready roadmap, and a four-week build that ships the first workflow into production.
Let's Talk- Approach
A 28-day cadence,
engineered for the budget cycle.
Five phases, fixed scope, principal-led every day. We compress what most firms run as a quarter into a single sprint - so value compounds while the budget cycle is still open.
Intake
Define the problem, target outcome, and scope under a one-page charter.
Design
Architect a minimal, scalable solution and confirm the integration surface.
Build
Working pilot with the core automation, ready for staged validation.
Deploy
Harden the pilot for production with monitoring, controls, and runbooks.
Hypercare
Knowledge transfer, two-week hypercare, and verified-impact reporting.
Before any build, we run a four-week AI Value Creation Audit that ranks every opportunity in your business by ROI and feasibility.
- Audit methodology
The AI Value Creation Audit.
Four weeks. Five phases. One outcome: a board-ready, quantified roadmap of where AI moves your P&L - and which two or three projects to ship first.
Week 1
Discovery & Alignment
Understand business priorities and current operating reality.
- Executive workshop (60–90 min) to align on goals
- Review strategic objectives across growth, cost, efficiency, and risk
- Identify 2–3 pain points with the highest revenue or cost impact
Deliverables
- Business priorities map
- List of critical processes for audit
Week 1–2
Current State & AI Readiness
Baseline today's operations and assess readiness to adopt AI.
- Process-owner interviews across sales, ops, finance, and HR
- Assess tech stack and document key workflows
- Collect metrics: hours, error rates, cycle times, cost
Deliverables
- Process inventory with effort and cost
- AI readiness scorecard
Week 2–3
Opportunity Mapping
Match every workflow against AI capability to surface value drivers.
- Evaluate workflows for automation, augmentation, and analytics
- Classify each opportunity: Automate, Augment, Intelligence
- Score opportunities on Value vs. Feasibility
Deliverables
- AI Opportunity Matrix
- Ranked list of 5–10 opportunities
Week 3
Value Quantification
Build a defensible business case for each top opportunity.
- Calculate hours saved, cost reduction, and revenue uplift
- Estimate investment: licenses, build, integration
- Define payback timelines - quick wins vs. strategic plays
Deliverables
- Business case per opportunity
- ROI estimates with payback period
Week 4
Roadmap & Next Steps
Provide an actionable, prioritized plan.
- Sequence quick wins for 90-day implementation
- Define longer-term initiatives aligned to strategy
