We start where the work happens.
Not in a workshop. We sit with the people doing the job — the agents answering the same ticket forty times a week, the clerk re-keying invoices into two systems. We count the volume, sample the hard cases, and ask what a wrong answer actually costs you.
More often than not, what arrives labelled as an AI problem turns out to be three process problems and one AI problem. Knowing which is which before you spend anything is the whole point of this phase.
What you get
- Workflow map and volume baseline
- Opportunities ranked by payoff and risk
- Indicative cost and timeline per option
- A written recommendation — including what to skip
Stop here and you keep the analysis. Some clients do, and go build it themselves. That's a fine outcome.
