AI Opportunity Sprint

AI Opportunity Sprint: your 90-day plan, in two weeks

An AI opportunity assessment, run as a two-week engagement, that maps where AI has real leverage in your business — and leaves you with a prioritized 90-day plan, a clear-eyed read on what's real vs. noise, and a vendor shortlist built around your business, not ours. The discipline Fortune 500s buy from tier-1 consultancies, priced for the middle market.

What you get

Four deliverables. One clear plan.

01

Opportunity map

Every workflow, decision, and system where AI could meaningfully move the needle, ranked by impact and feasibility.

02

90-day action plan

What to ship first, second, third, with specific metrics and milestones.

03

Vendor shortlist

The 2–3 tools that fit your use case, with honest trade-offs (cost, lock-in, maturity).

04

Executive readout

A single presentation your leadership team can walk into any executive meeting with.

How the two weeks unfold

Week one: diagnostic. Week two: plan.

Week one
Diagnostic

We work with your leadership team to understand where the business actually spends its time, money, and attention — and where AI has real leverage versus where it's noise.

Week two
Plan

We translate the diagnostic into a prioritized 90-day roadmap, a vendor shortlist, and an executive readout your leadership team can walk into any executive meeting with.

You're involved where it matters. We handle the rest.

FAQ

Common questions about the Sprint

If yours isn't here, the scoping call is the fastest way to get specifics for your situation.

How is this different from a McKinsey or Deloitte engagement?
Same discipline — prioritization, opportunity mapping, vendor diligence — compressed from 90 days to two weeks and priced for the middle market. You get an operator in the room, not a team of associates. And you walk out with a plan you can actually run, not a 200-slide deck.
What do you need from our team during the two weeks?
Access to leadership for working sessions (usually 4–6 hours a week total), visibility into the workflows and systems we're evaluating, and introductions to any vendors already in the mix. Everything else sits on our side.
Do you recommend building in-house or buying off the shelf?
It depends on the use case, your team, and your timeline. The Sprint surfaces honest build-vs-buy trade-offs for each opportunity on the map. Sometimes the answer is buy. Sometimes it's build. Usually it's a mix — and the sequencing matters more than the binary call.
What if we don't have clean data — is that a blocker?
No. The Sprint factors data readiness into the feasibility score for each opportunity. Some of the best early wins sit in workflows that don't require pristine data. For the ones that do, the plan sequences the data work alongside the AI work — not before it.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Mutual NDA is standard before the scoping call if you want.
