PRODUCT 02 / AI READINESS SPRINT

Find the first move.
Before you fund the wrong one.

A focused 15-working-day engagement for manufacturers with paper-heavy workflows, fragmented data, or no clear AI use case.

The right answer may be better records or a simpler workflow before AI. The sprint is designed to make that decision honestly.

Five moves.
One useful decision.

Each phase reduces uncertainty. The work ends with a recommendation your team can implement—not another deck that sits still.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Agree the sponsor, target workflow, access, and the decision the sprint must enable.

  2. 02

    Discover

    Interview the people doing the work, walk the real process, and inspect the data that already exists.

  3. 03

    Diagnose

    Separate the root cause from the symptoms and rank possible fixes by value, feasibility, and speed.

  4. 04

    Draft

    Design the first practical solution—better data, a simpler workflow, or a bounded AI pilot.

  5. 05

    Handover

    Train the owner, define success, document the decision, and set the next checkpoint.

Evidence your team
can act on.

OUTPUT 01

Current-state diagnosis

A documented view of how the workflow actually runs, including bottlenecks, dependencies, and data gaps.

OUTPUT 02

Ranked opportunities

A short list prioritised by business value, feasibility, readiness, and time to visible evidence.

OUTPUT 03

Implementation-ready first move

One practical design, success measure, owner, and next decision—not a vague transformation roadmap.

AI is an option.
Not the answer by default.

A useful sprint distinguishes three paths: build a bounded AI pilot, repair the underlying workflow first, or stop because the value is not there yet.
