In three weeks, know exactly what AI is worth to you.
A fixed-scope diagnosis of your operations and your team. You leave with a ranked, budgeted plan of what to automate, what to skip, and the skills your people need, so you never spend a euro on the wrong project.
A free 30-minute call to take an objective read of where you stand on AI today. If it isn't the right moment for you, we say so.
You go from "AI should help"
to a plan you can act on.
You stop guessing
You get a clear, ranked list of where AI genuinely helps in your business, and where it doesn't. No more deciding on hype or on a vendor's pitch.
You protect your budget
Most of the value is what we tell you not to do. Catching one bad project before it starts saves far more than the Sprint costs. Think of it as insurance against an expensive mistake.
You know your team is ready
We don't just assess the tech. We read whether your people can actually adopt it, and what upskilling it will take. A plan your team can't run is worthless, so we make sure yours can.
Everyone audits the tech.
We audit the tech and the team.
The reason 95% of AI pilots fail isn't the technology, it's that teams never adopt it. So a diagnosis that only looks at use cases and tools is only half an answer. Ours reads both.
- Lists tools and use cases
- Assumes the team will just "figure it out"
- Hands you a slide deck of possibilities
- Ends when the report is delivered
- Success = a long list of ideas
- Ranks use cases by expected return, and kills the weak ones in writing
- Reads your team's readiness and skills gap as part of the diagnosis
- Hands you a budgeted plan you can act on, not a wish list
- Points you to the right next step: build, upskill, or wait
- Success = the right decision, including "not yet"
It starts with an honest look
at where you stand.
Nobody should commit to a three-week engagement off a first conversation, and nobody should sell you one either. So we start with two short sessions, and neither of them commits you to anything.
The fit call
An objective read of your situation: what you've already tried, where your teams actually lose time, how ready they are, and what's realistically within reach. You leave with a clearer picture whether or not you ever work with us.
The scoping session
If the Sprint looks like the right move, we go deeper on the operational detail: scope, teams involved, access, timing. That's what turns a conversation into a firm, precise proposal you can approve or decline.
Nothing begins until you've seen and approved the full proposal. If the Sprint isn't the right investment for you, we say so rather than sell it.
A clear method,
not a black box.
Map
We get inside how your teams actually work and where the hours go.
- Interviews with the teams and the sponsor
- Workflows and time-sinks mapped
- A first read of your team's AI readiness
Rank
We turn what we found into a ranked shortlist, and start killing the weak ideas.
- Use cases scored by expected return and effort
- A written no-go list, with the reasoning
- The skills gap for each surviving use case
Plan
We hand you a decision you can act on, with orders of magnitude and a clear order.
- A prioritised roadmap with a budget range per solution
- The upskilling your team needs, mapped
- A clear recommendation: build, train, both, or wait
Three concrete deliverables.
Zero fluff.
Your workflows, mapped
A clear picture of where your teams lose time today, agreed with you.
A ranked recommendation
What to automate first, what to upskill, and what to leave alone, in writing.
A budgeted roadmap
The next steps in order, each with a price range, so you know what to set aside per solution before you commit.
One Sprint. Then the path
that actually fits you.
The Verdict Sprint is the shared starting point for everything we do. Where it takes you depends only on what the diagnosis finds, not on what we'd prefer to sell.
Training & AI Adoption
We build your team's AI skills on the real use cases the Sprint surfaced, and hand you programmes you keep.
See Training & Adoption →AI Automation
We build the automation the Sprint ranked highest, on your data, and train the team that will run it.
See AI Automation →The honest questions,
answered honestly.
How much does the Verdict Sprint cost?
Does the Sprint give me a detailed automation budget?
Why would I pay for an audit that might say no?
What's the difference with a free consultation elsewhere?
Do I have to commit to a bigger project after?
Who runs it?
