Assessment

Find where AI will pay.

When AI could help but it is not yet clear where, we work alongside your team to find out. You receive a prioritized roadmap and a written proposal for the first build. The roadmap is yours to keep, whether or not we continue.

Duration
Two to three weeks
You receive
A prioritized roadmap

Deliverables

What you receive.

  1. 01

    A clear account of how your operation runs today, across the five areas below.

  2. 02

    Every AI opportunity we find, tested against its value and its feasibility.

  3. 03

    A prioritized, phased roadmap, with a one-page brief on each opportunity.

  4. 04

    A written proposal for the highest-value build.

How it runs

Two to three weeks, alongside your team.

  1. 01

    Inside the operation

    Finance, operations, and front-line teams

    We learn how the work actually moves: who touches it, where it waits, and which systems and records it depends on.

  2. 02

    Every opportunity tested

    Value against feasibility

    Each place AI could help is weighed against what it would return and what it would take. Where an off-the-shelf tool would do the job, we say so.

  3. 03

    Findings and roadmap

    Walked through together

    We walk you through the findings and hand over the written roadmap, with a proposal for the highest-value build.

The method

Five areas, assessed as they actually run.

Where an area is not yet ready, the roadmap sets out what needs to change before a build begins.

Data
What exists, where it lives, and whether a system can read it without someone re-keying it.
Process
How the work actually moves today, who touches it, and where it waits.
Systems
The ERP, the spreadsheets, and the inboxes: what a build must connect to and what it could replace.
People
Who owns each workflow, who would review what a system flags, and what they need to trust it.
Payoff
What each problem costs in money or hours, measured against what a system would take to run.
The roadmap

What the roadmap looks like.

Every opportunity is rated on value and feasibility, then sequenced so the largest return comes first. An illustrative example:

#PhaseOpportunityValueFeasibilityWhen
01First build
Invoice Intelligence

Every vendor invoice read to the cent and checked against the agreed price, so overbilling and price increases are caught before they are paid.

HighReadyPhase 1
02Core build
Operations dashboard

One live view of the numbers the business runs on: overtime, delivery status, quality escapes, and scrap. Exceptions surfaced and routed to their owners.

HighMediumPhase 2
03Expand
Quality and rework patterns

Corrective actions and rework tickets read for recurring causes, by part, department, and shift.

MediumMediumLater

Illustrative example, not a client’s roadmap. Each roadmap includes a one-page brief on every opportunity and a proposal for Phase 1.

What follows

After the Assessment.

  1. 01

    Implementation

    When you are ready

    The first build on the roadmap, delivered as an Implementation. How Implementation works

  2. 02

    The next system

    Phase by phase

    Once the first system is in production, the next opportunity on the roadmap follows the same path, scoped and proposed on its own.

Next step

Start with a conversation.

A discovery call is a short conversation about your business and where AI could make a measurable difference. If there is a fit, we follow with a written proposal.
