01
Business case + opportunity ranking
Every opportunity in your business, sorted by ROI. Current-state pain mapped. Stakeholders. Risks. Change management. Success metrics — all in one executive-ready document.
Foundation · Custom AI Blueprint
Stop guessing. Start with the math.
A 2–6 week engagement where an AI Solutions Architect and an AI Engineer plug into your operation, map where AI can actually create value, and hand you a build-ready plan — with or without us.
The plan, the math, and the architecture — yours to keep.
Every Custom AI Project starts here, but the Blueprint stands on its own. You leave with a complete plan you can hand to any engineering team — including your own.
2–6 weeks
Architect + engineer embedded
3-way ROI
Conservative · expected · aggressive
Build-ready
Spec, architecture, work breakdown
What's actually in your hands
at the end.
Five documents and (often) a working artifact. Each one battle-tested across 60+ deployments.
02
A three-scenario ROI model
Conservative, expected, and aggressive projections with the math shown. No black-box outputs. Your CFO can pressure-test every number.
03
A comprehensive requirements spec
User journeys per persona, functional + non-functional requirements, UX flows, integration points, data + privacy constraints, and acceptance criteria. Everything a build team needs.
04
The technical architecture package
C4 system diagrams, BPMN workflow diagrams, end-to-end data flows, API specs, the data model, and the infrastructure topology. Production-grade artifacts, not napkins.
05
A work breakdown + sprint plan
Phases with entry and exit criteria, milestones with dependencies, sprint-level work packages traceable back to the spec, a resource plan, a risk register, and a communication cadence.
06
Often: a working POC or wiki
For the highest-ROI opportunity, we usually ship something real — a working proof-of-concept, an internal wiki, or a minimum viable build. Real proof, not slides.
How the Blueprint runs.
Two to six weeks. Two senior practitioners embedded in your operation. Weekly readouts, never radio silence.
01
Diagnose
Week 1+
We embed with your operators — not just leadership. We trace workflows at the task level, map where data lives and where it dies, and identify every opportunity AI could affect.
- Operator shadowing
- Workflow tracing
- Data + tool inventory
- Opportunity catalog
02
Model the math
Week 2–3+
Every viable opportunity gets ROI modeled three ways. We pressure-test assumptions with your finance team. We rank by impact, not novelty. By end of this phase, the highest-leverage build is obvious — and defensible.
- Three-scenario ROI
- Finance pressure-test
- Ranked opportunities
- Success metrics
03
Design the system
Week 3–5+
For the prioritized opportunity, we design the full system — requirements, UX flows, integrations, the technical architecture, the data model. The spec is detailed enough to hand to any competent engineering team.
- Full requirements spec
- C4 + BPMN diagrams
- API + data model
- Acceptance criteria
04
Plan the build
Week 5–6+
Work breakdown structure, sprint plan, resource allocation, risk register, and communication cadence. You leave with a build-ready plan and (usually) a working POC for the top opportunity.
- Sprint-level plan
- Resource + risk plan
- Working POC or wiki
- Build-ready handoff
Is this the right fit?
Right for you if...
- You've identified one or more areas where AI might create real value, but want the math before committing.
- You're willing to invest mid-five-figures to de-risk a much larger build downstream.
- You want a deliverable that can stand alone — even if you decide to build it elsewhere.
- Your operators are willing to spend a few hours on workflow mapping with our team.
Maybe not yet if...
- You haven't yet aligned your exec team on AI — start with the Workshop first.
- You're hoping for a quick three-page memo or a sales deck.
- You're looking for tool recommendations, not a custom plan.
