From diagnostic to delivery

Every AI implementation engagement starts with a Discovery & Governance Sprint. From there, the next step is clear: a Pilot Build (3-7 days), an Implementation Pilot (4-6 weeks), or Fractional CAIO support.

Discovery & Governance Sprint

A paid diagnostic to assess your AI readiness, identify high-value use cases, and receive a Go/No-Go Brief (with an implementation roadmap).

Deliverables (what you leave with):

  • Ranked use-case shortlist (value × feasibility × risk)
  • Data and risk boundaries (what can and cannot be used)
  • Governance model (decision rights, guardrails, approvals)
  • Pilot specification + success metrics + evaluation plan
  • 90-day implementation roadmap (what to do next, in what order)

Investment: £2,000–£3,500 (most engagements: £2,750)

Timeline: 1 week from intake to delivery
