Solution · 01 · STR · ONE-OFF ENGAGEMENT

AI Strategy & Discovery.

Workflow audits, AI readiness assessment, and a technical roadmap your board will sign off on. A fixed-scope engagement for teams that know they need AI but don't know where to start.

Book a discovery call See deliverables

What you get — 01

Six artefacts, signed off.

Every engagement ends with a shared doc folder your team and your board can actually use. No abstract frameworks — specific, referenceable output.

Deliverable · 01

Workflow audit

Every process on the ops side, timed and ranked by automation potential. Where AI helps, where it doesn't.

Deliverable · 02

AI readiness score

Data maturity, stack compatibility, team capability. A single number plus the underlying dimensions.

Deliverable · 03

ROI model

Spreadsheet with assumptions, sensitivity analysis, and payback periods — not magic-number claims.

Deliverable · 04

Vendor shortlist

Three to five tools, scored on fit, cost, and risk. Where build-vs-buy actually makes sense.

Deliverable · 05

Technical roadmap

Sequenced build plan across 2–4 quarters. Dependencies, staffing, milestones, and kill criteria for each initiative.

Deliverable · 06

Risk register

Security, compliance, and vendor risks you'll want on file before the board meeting. With mitigations.

Timeline — 02

Three weeks, end to end.

We don't believe in month-long discovery phases. Tight scope, tight calendar, real output.

Week 0–1

Audit

Interviews with ops leads, data walkthrough, stack review. We shadow the work.

Week 1–2

Map

Workflows ranked by automation potential. Build-vs-buy calls. Vendor research.

Week 2

Score

ROI model, readiness assessment, risk register. Board-ready numbers.

Week 3

Roadmap

Final presentation, sequenced plan, quarterly milestones. You walk away with a plan — paid or not.

Best for — 03

Teams at an inflection point.

"We know we need AI"

But the options are overwhelming and your team doesn't have cycles to explore.

Most common

Failed POCs

You've tried two vendors and nothing shipped. Board is losing patience.

Reset

M&A due diligence

You're buying or being bought, and the AI story needs to hold up.

High stakes

New CTO / CEO

You took the job with a mandate to modernize — and 90 days to show a plan.

Questions — 04

Common asks before we start.

Discovery isn't a billable warm-up — it's the work. Here's what people want to know before signing.

Is this just a slide deck?

No. You get working docs — spreadsheets, markdown roadmaps, a risk register — that your team can actually use. Plus a 60-minute board-ready presentation.

Q·01

What if the answer is "don't build AI yet"?

Then that's the recommendation. We've told clients to wait 12 months because their data wasn't ready. You pay us to tell the truth, not to sell more work.

Q·02

Does it roll into a build engagement?

Often, but never by default. The roadmap is vendor-neutral — you can take it to us, to another implementer, or to an in-house team.

Q·03

Who do you need from our side?

One exec sponsor, one ops lead, and read-access to the systems we're auditing. ~4 hours of interview time across the three weeks.

Q·04

Already know what to build?

Ready for a real roadmap?

30-minute discovery call. We'll scope the engagement, confirm the timeline, and send a fixed-fee proposal within 48 hours.
