Where does AI actually pay?
In six weeks we put a number on the workflows behind your revenue, cost and working capital, and tell you plainly which ones deserve your money.
Six weeks, and what you walk away with.
- 1Week 1
Economics
Where the money is, and what your leaders already believe.
You walk away with- Your leaders' starting beliefs, on paper
- The baseline we measure against
- 2Week 2
Workflows
The work behind those numbers, as it really happens.
You walk away with- A first estimate of what each workflow is worth
- 3Week 3
Redesign
How the best ones change when people and agents share the work.
You walk away with- Every workflow on one map: what it's worth and how ready it is
- A redesign for each one on the shortlist
- 4Week 4
What must be true
The riskiest assumption, tested. Not argued on a slide.
You walk away with- What has to be true for each, and how sure we are
- 5Weeks 5–6
Decision
Your leaders decide: Pursue now, Prove first, Defer or Stop.
You walk away with- A one-page decision for each workflow
- A visual of how each Pursue now workflow will run, redesigned (up to 3)
- A scorecard to measure from day one
An AI idea is one step. We redesign the whole workflow.
Most AI ideas are use cases: one task inside one step. In Week 3 we open up each shortlisted workflow, step by step, and decide what agents run and what your people decide. Then we design the orchestration: how it hands work to and from the workflows around it.
One AI task inside one step. "Flag the exceptions." Useful, but the work around it stays the same.
Every step, start to finish, redesigned: what agents run, what people decide, and where the work passes between them.
Store replenishment exceptions
Illustration · a typical retailerRead it left to right. Agents carry three of the six steps; people keep two decisions. The edges show the orchestration: the workflows that feed this one and the ones it feeds. Each red dot is a hand-off we design: who owns it, what passes, and what stops the agent when the input is wrong, such as stock records below about 95% accurate.
Store replenishment exceptions is one of them. We've mapped about 160 workflows across 18 areas of a retail or consumer-goods business, so Week 1 starts from your version of that map, not a blank page.

We go deepest on Worth and Work, the outer arcs on the circle. For Workforce, Workbench and Watch, we check what they mean for each workflow.
Your priorities
What has your leadership team promised to deliver?
What we ask- Which results matter most over the next two years: margin, availability, growth?
- Where does the leadership team agree, and where not?
What you get, what it takes, and what comes next.
- A call on every workflow: Pursue now, Prove first, Defer or Stop
- What each one is worth, with today's numbers to measure against
- The riskiest assumption tested, and what it showed
- Your workflow, redesigned and visualized: how each Pursue now workflow will run, up to three
- A plan for what the next step needs: people, data, systems, time
Not yet: anything in production. Your team or a partner builds it after the decision, with real data.
- Your time
- About 8 hours of leadership time, plus about 2 hours a week from each workflow owner.
- Your data
- A small sample Read-only, nothing installed. A fuller read-only extract only if a shortlisted workflow's test needs one.
- Our fee
- Fixed, agreed up front Quoted before we start. It depends on how many functions and workflows we look at.
You build it. We stay on to guide it.
Your team or a partner you choose builds the Pursue now workflows with real data, starting from the redesigned workflow visuals. We stay on for design reviews, the value scorecard and the hard calls.
How we work →What leaders ask us first.
What does it cost?+
Find Value is a fixed fee, agreed before we start. It depends on how many functions and workflows we look at.
Will we see what it looks like, or just get a deck?+
You see what it looks like before you decide. For each workflow heading for Pursue now, up to three, we show your workflow, redesigned and visualized: what the agents do, where your people decide and how exceptions surface. It runs on example data shaped like your business, never your own, so there are no extracts and no IT tickets.
Do you have a platform?+
No. AI runs through how we work, so the analysis is faster, but we don't sell software. Our recommended solution sits on top of the systems you already run, and you keep everything we produce.
Do you need all our data?+
No. We start with a small, read-only sample and nothing is installed. If a shortlisted workflow's test needs more, we ask for a fuller read-only extract for that workflow only.
Parts of our company can't move in six weeks. What then?+
We plan for it from Week 1. We map who and what we depend on, run tests on read-only samples so busy IT and data teams don't hold things up, and name anything slow in the decision, with its own timeline.
What if you recommend we stop?+
Then you've saved the quarters a drifting pilot would have used. Stop is a real answer, and we explain why, with the evidence.
Can we start smaller?+
Yes. Many teams start with a leadership session: half a day or a day that gives your leaders a shared view of where AI pays, and a short list of workflows worth a closer look.
