For companies already using AI · 3–4 weeks · fixed price
Find the money before you build the robot.
The AI Business Scan is a fast, fixed-price assessment that shows exactly where AI will make or save you money. You get a prioritized, ROI-driven list of AI opportunities, so you know what to build, why it matters and where to start. Then we build the first workflow with you.
Not another chatbot. A business process that can do work.
An agentic workflow is an end-to-end process in which AI can understand approved context, use connected tools, perform multiple steps and route important decisions to a human.
The goal is not autonomy for its own sake. It is faster, more reliable execution of a defined business outcome.
This route is designed for companies that
- already use AI tools in parts of the business
- have several possible use cases but no objective priority
- need a business case before committing to implementation
- want to automate a meaningful workflow, not add another assistant
- need security, integration, adoption and measurement from the start
The six pillars
We look at the same six dimensions, everywhere.
For every function and process, we assess the same six pillars to understand where AI can create value and what it takes to implement it safely. Good AI is not just about the model. It works when business, process, technology, data, people and control work together.
Business
Where the value comes from: model, revenue, customers, growth constraints, owner priorities.
Process
How the work actually gets done: steps, owners, manual work, handoffs, rework, exceptions.
Technology
What the business runs on: CRM and ERP, project tools, comms, storage, reporting, custom software.
Data
What AI can actually work with: where it lives, access, quality, flows, structure and formats.
People
Where knowledge and judgment live: who does what, specialist knowledge, key-person risk.
Risk
Where AI needs guardrails: sensitive data, access, human approval, auditability, reversibility.
Phase 1 · AI Business Scan

The same backbone every credible assessment uses, and exactly where your team is involved. About six hours of your own time in total.
Set the goals
Business goals, metrics to improve and what success should look like.
Map business processes
Interview the people doing the work and map key workflows, time and cost.
Map tools and data
Map the tools and systems that matter and where key knowledge lives.
Prioritize use cases
Score opportunities across the six pillars and rank the strongest.
Build the business case
Estimate value, cost and payback, and define the right AI setup.
Decide what to build first
Review findings, choose the first build and agree clear next steps.
Eight deliverables you own, whether or not you build with us
What to build first
Every opportunity is scored 1 to 5 across the six pillars.
One clear criterion per pillar, priced with your own numbers, for a total out of 30. One rule: critical security or implementation risks must be resolved before anything gets built.
Phase 2 · First AI build
Turn the decision into a working process.
The selected workflow is designed, integrated, tested and prepared for real users. A typical first build takes about four to six weeks after access, scope and dependencies are confirmed. Fixed scope, fixed price.
- Detailed workflow and human/AI responsibility map
- Required integrations with approved systems
- Configured agentic workflow
- Permission and approval controls
- Test cases and evaluation criteria
- Logging and monitoring appropriate to the use case
- User documentation and enablement
- Launch plan and success metrics measured against the Scan estimates
Security & confidentiality
Your data stays yours.
The AI Business Scan can usually start without access to your production systems or sensitive data.
No production access required
Interviews, documentation, screen sharing and sample data are usually enough.
Confidential by default
Your business information is used only for the agreed assessment and handled confidentially.
Minimum access only when needed
If access is needed, we use the minimum permissions and read-only wherever possible.
Security built in
Access, sensitive data, human approval and key risks are designed into the AI plan from the start.
Phase 3 · Operate & expand
The workflow goes live. We keep improving it with you.
AI systems need ownership after deployment. On a monthly retainer, a senior AI team keeps the system running, adds the next highest-value opportunities and reuses the same core setup as your business changes.

Potential value was modeled from discovery inputs and agreed assumptions. Actual results depend on implementation, adoption and operating conditions.

Next step
Choose the first AI workflow with evidence, not guesswork.
Thirty minutes is enough to size the work and put a fixed price on it. Even a company that never builds anything leaves with a costed, prioritized plan it owns.
