AI Readiness Sprint
Ten business days to map one costly workflow, decide where AI helps and where people stay in charge, and leave with a pilot you could start next month.
- From CAD 6,500, fixed before we start
- 10 business days
- 50% to start, 50% at readout
- English or French
Six things you keep
Workflow map
Current state end to end: steps, handoffs, systems, volumes and where time goes.
Intake and status schema
The fields and states a system would read and write, agreed with the people who do the work.
Exception taxonomy and decision rights
What goes wrong, how often, and who is allowed to decide each case.
Review-first prototype spec
Exactly what AI drafts, what a person approves, and what is never automated.
Pilot and measurement brief
Scope, baseline, success metric, stop conditions and a fixed-fee build quote.
Executive readout
Findings and a clear build / don't-build recommendation, with one round of revisions.
How the ten days run
- Days 1–2 · Map
Interviews and walkthroughs with the people who do the work.
- Days 3–5 · Diagnose
Volumes, exceptions, systems access and decision rights.
- Days 6–8 · Design
Prototype spec, schema and pilot brief.
- Days 9–10 · Readout
Executive readout, recommendation and revision.
Good fit / Not a fit
Good fit
- One workflow costs your team hours every week
- The work runs through email, spreadsheets, PDFs or a line-of-business system
- Someone senior can own the decision to pilot
Not a fit
- You want a chatbot on your website
- You need a platform migration or an ERP rollout
- There is no one who can give 3–4 hours across the ten days
- 4 yearsbuilding fraud, dispute and pricing systems inside FlightHub
- 22 daysfrom first commit to live billing on The Lineup, a paid ML product I built and run
- EN / FRdiscovery, delivery and documentation in English or French
If the answer is build
The pilot is quoted as a fixed fee in the pilot brief, scoped to one workflow and one team, with a handoff and runbook at the end. No retainer is required.
