Four honest answers

  1. 1

    Configure

    Set up what you already own to do the job.

  2. 2

    Buy

    Choose a product that fits, on terms you have checked.

  3. 3

    Build

    Custom work, only where nothing off the shelf will do.

  4. 4

    Wait

    Hold off when the case is not there yet. That is a result too.

Four honest answers. Waiting is one of them.

What you walk away with: your AI strategy and roadmap

A plan you can act on, whoever builds it.

AI opportunities, ranked

Where AI can save time or make money in your business, ranked by value, feasibility, data readiness and risk.

A build ready package for each problem we solve

The full plan for one problem: requirements, acceptance criteria (the tests it must pass), a data map and a test plan. Any developer can quote against it.

Targets set up front

The KPIs, an ROI model and a promise sheet, which lists the results any build must hit.

An adoption plan

Who will use it, what changes in their day, and the training that gets them to the target.

Why plan with us

A plan from people with nothing to sell you.

A real choice

Configure what you have, buy, build or wait. “Not yet” is always one of the options.

Targets before spending

We set the KPIs and how to measure them before anyone buys or builds.

Any developer can quote it

Your package goes to any developer you choose, so bids compare like for like.

Fixed fee, fixed dates

Quoted in writing after a briefing. No hourly billing.

What you get

Know where AI pays off

Ranked opportunities with the evidence behind them

  • AI opportunities, ranked

    Every idea scored on value, feasibility, data readiness and risk, so the best bets rise to the top.

  • A clear answer for each one

    Configure what you have, buy, build or wait, with the reasons and the alternatives we weighed.

  • An ROI model

    The expected return per opportunity, with the assumptions written out so your finance team can challenge them.

Get ready to build

A package any developer can quote against

  • A build ready package for each problem we solve

    Requirements, acceptance criteria, a data map and a test plan for one problem.

  • A data and integration map

    What data the solution needs, where it lives, and what it connects to.

  • Risk and security notes

    Where the solution could go wrong, and what to put in place before it does.

Set the targets up front

So everyone agrees what success is

  • KPIs and how to measure them

    The numbers the AI must move, and exactly how they will be counted.

  • A promise sheet

    The results any build must hit, so you can hold a vendor or developer to them.

  • A baseline

    Today’s numbers, before AI, so you can see what changed later.

Plan for the people

So the AI actually gets used

  • An adoption plan

    Who will use it, and what changes in their day.

  • A training plan

    What each group needs to learn to reach the target.

  • A written report and a live presentation

    Findings in writing, then a walk through with your leadership team.

Your options

$23,500 to $95,000, by scope. Your fixed fee, scope and dates come in writing after a briefing. Payment in stages: under $10,000 at signing; $10,000 to $50,000 half at signing and half at the readout or go-live; over $50,000 in three payments (40%, 40%, 20%).

Blueprint options

  • Focused

    1 department, up to 3 use cases assessed, 1 build ready package

    4 to 5 weeks
  • Standard

    Up to 3 departments, 5 to 8 use cases assessed, 2 build ready packages

    5 to 6 weeks
  • Enterprise

    4 or more departments or several sites, 3 build ready packages

    6 to 8 weeks

Timeline from kickoff to the finished plan. Bars sit on a 0 to 8 week scale.

Each package is the full plan for one problem we solve, never a second version of the same plan.

Between the plan and go-live

Your Blueprint ends with a build ready package. If you want help getting from there to launch, we can help you compare bids from builders and check the build at each stage. Ask us on your call.

The fine print

  • Fixed fees and dates in writing. No hourly billing.
  • We agree the targets and how to measure them up front.
  • We don’t build it. Your package goes to any developer you choose.
  • We take no money from any AI vendor or developer, and we tell you if a partner introduced us.

Questions we hear

Is this an AI strategy and roadmap?

Yes. The AI Blueprint is an independent AI strategy and roadmap for your company: your AI opportunities ranked, a build ready package for each problem we solve, targets set up front and a plan for adoption. It is written so any developer can quote from it.

What’s a build ready package?

The full plan for one problem we solve: requirements, acceptance criteria, a data map and a test plan. Any developer can quote against it, so bids compare like for like.

What if the answer is wait?

Then we say so and show you why. Waiting is a real recommendation.

Do you build it too?

No. We sell no AI and build nothing for clients, so our plan has no stake in the answer. Once it’s built, AI Implementation can take it live.

Which option fits us?

It depends on how much of the business we study and how many problems we solve. Focused covers one department; Enterprise covers four or more departments or several sites. The free intro call sorts it out.

Can our own developer quote from it?

Yes. That’s the point of the package: any developer, in house or outside, can quote and build from it.

What happens after the Blueprint?

You take the package to the developer or vendor you choose. When it’s built, AI Implementation can take it live, and the promise sheet shows whether it hit its targets.

That’s every detail. Questions left? Ask us in person.
