Decide where AI pays, in writing.

An AI strategy diagnostic. In 2 to 4 weeks: where AI creates value in your business, what it is worth and what to do first.

Who It Is For

For executive committees with more AI ideas than decisions.

In our experience, most large companies have run AI pilots, and few have decided which uses matter most. The diagnostic is for the people who must agree on that order: the executive committee, the business heads and the risk teams.

  • Executive committees deciding where AI budget goes
  • Business heads with AI ideas and no ranking between them
  • Risk and compliance teams who approve the plan before anything is built
What We Do

A written plan, built from the work as it is done today.

01

Interviews across the business

We speak with the people who run the work, from finance and operations to sales, service and IT. We record where time goes and which decisions are slow. Every AI idea starts from a task that exists today.

02

Every idea sized

Each AI idea is sized by value, effort and risk, in hours and euros. Value is measured against the work it changes, not against the whole budget. Ideas that cannot be measured are set aside, with the reason written down.

03

Governance designed with your risk teams

We set out who owns each decision AI touches, and what is allowed. The design is reviewed with your risk teams for the EU AI Act and DORA. It is ready before the first system is built, not after.

04

A ranked plan, with owners

The plan ranks every use and gives each one an owner, an order and a measure of success. Your executive committee can approve it as written. The first use is chosen so it can reach production, not only a demo.

How an Engagement Runs

Two to four weeks, from interviews to a decision.

01

Scope

One session with the sponsor to set the scope, the teams to meet and the decisions the plan must support.

02

Interviews

Interviews across the business and IT, with the data and systems each idea depends on.

03

Sizing and risk review

Every idea sized in hours and euros, then reviewed with compliance for risk and regulation.

04

Decision

The ranked plan presented to your executive committee, with the first use ready to start.

What You Hold at the End

A plan your executive committee can approve.

  • Every AI idea sized by value, effort and risk
  • A ranked plan your executive committee can approve, with owners
  • A governance model reviewed with your risk teams
  • The first use defined: scope, team, data and measure of success
  • The limits in writing: what AI should not do yet, and why
Built for Regulated Companies

Governance comes before the first system.

  • Governance designed with your risk teams for the EU AI Act and DORA
  • The EU AI Act risk level of each use assessed with your compliance team
  • GDPR reviewed for every use that touches personal data
  • Every use designed to run on your servers or your cloud

A plan is a first step. It is worth something when the first use reaches production, which is why the same team stays to build it.
