Why Our Process Works

We've refined this methodology across dozens of automation and AI projects. Here's why it consistently delivers results.

⚑

Speed

From discovery to production in weeks, not months. Every step is designed for velocity without sacrificing quality.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Safety

Built-in guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, and rollback protocols at every stage. Legal, IT, and Risk say yes.

πŸ“Š

Measurement

Every pilot is tied to a metric. If it doesn't move a number, it doesn't ship. Clear ROI tracking from day one.

The 7-Step Process

Click on each step to explore the details. Every phase is designed to minimize risk and maximize value.

🎯
Step 1 of 7

Understand What Will Move a Metric

Every engagement starts with clarity. Before building anything, we align on the business outcome, the metric, and the constraints.

"Which workflow, if fixed, would meaningfully move a number you already track?"

During this stage we define:

  • β€’Primary business metric: hours saved, cycle time, error reduction, revenue
  • β€’What's blocking progress today
  • β€’Key dates, freezes, audit windows, compliance constraints
πŸ—ΊοΈ
Step 2 of 7

Map Your Workflow

We walk through the actual steps, people, systems, and handoffs β€” the real workflow, not the one in training manuals.

  • β€’Trigger β†’ Steps β†’ Actors β†’ Systems β†’ Outputs
  • β€’Hand-off points
  • β€’Rework loops
  • β€’Approval bottlenecks
  • β€’"Swivel-chair" work (copy/paste between systems)
πŸ’‘
Step 3 of 7

Identify High-Leverage Opportunities

Once the landscape is clear, we ideate across three categories:

L0 β€” Automations

Deterministic workflows: routing, approvals, reconciliations

L0–L1 β€” AI-Driven

AI handles messy inputs; humans keep approval control

L1–L2 β€” Agentic AI

Multi-step plan β†’ act β†’ observe loops with guardrails

We score mathematically:

Priority = (Impact Γ— Confidence) Γ· (Effort Γ— Risk)

βœ…
Step 4 of 7

Select the Right Pilot

We shortlist the highest-leverage pilot β€” usually one with high impact, low-to-moderate effort, manageable risk, and known data sources.

What you walk away with:

  • πŸ“„ Pilot Specification β€” scope, KPIs, success criteria
  • πŸ“‹ Scored backlog for future phases
  • πŸ“… Delivery window and investment estimate
πŸ”¨
Step 5 of 7

Build in Weeks, Not Months

Our build phase is designed to be fast, safe, and reversible.

1
Sandboxβ€” Synthetic data, validate logic
2
Limited Cohortβ€” 5-20 users, monitor & refine
3
Productionβ€” Full access, observability, alerts
πŸ›‘οΈ
Step 6 of 7

Safety & Compliance

Every solution includes built-in guardrails so Legal, IT, and Risk say yes confidently.

πŸ›‘οΈ Human-in-the-loop
πŸ” Least-privilege access
πŸ”’ Vaulted credentials
πŸ“š RAG with citations
πŸ”΄ Kill-switch protocols
βœ… Eval tests pre/post
πŸ“ˆ
Step 7 of 7

Measure ROI & Scale

Every pilot must earn its place by moving a metric.

⏱️ Hours saved/month
πŸ”„ Cycle time reduction
❌ Error/rework reduction
πŸ’° Financial uplift

40+ hours/month saved β†’ $3,000/month capacity

Breakeven: 8–12 weeks for most pilots

πŸ”„

Optional: Continuous Optimisation Retainer

Once a pilot proves ROI, most clients move into a monthly optimisation and scale phase. This is where value compounds.

β†’Monitoring & alerting
β†’Continuous enhancements
β†’New automations & agents
β†’Monthly ROI roll-ups

Reusable connectors, repeatable approval patterns, and faster builds over time.
