How it works
Most teams start with Discovery. If it makes sense, we continue into the build.
Discovery
decision point
Co-buildDiscover & Define
4 weeksFind realistic AI wins in 4 weeks
I learn how work actually happens, surface friction people have normalized, and define the smallest AI changes that would make a real difference.
- →A clear picture of the real workflow (including exceptions and handoffs)
- →Prioritized "How might we…?" opportunities tied to real moments of friction
- →Adoption risks + change plan (trust, approvals, privacy, training)
- →A build plan your team can say "yes" to
Develop & Deliver
6 monthsShip adopted workflows, then hand off
I build production workflows in your stack, alongside the people who use them. The goal is tools + confidence, not dependency on me.
- →Production workflows in your stack (with auditability + least-privilege access)
- →Tools that support decisions—without hiding the "why"
- →Safety + quality: evals, monitoring, and clear escalation paths
- →Train-the-trainer so your team can extend it without me
