Once it's AI-assisted01/The problem
The hard part of an AI programme is not the models. It is deciding what to build, what to buy, what to run in-house, and what to leave alone — and getting that wrong costs a year and a budget before anyone notices.
02/How it works
The operating model
What enters, what the system does with it, and what reaches you.
Check
Audit
Where the manual effort actually sits, what data exists and in what condition, and what your compliance position genuinely requires as opposed to what everyone assumes.
System
Prioritise
Every candidate scored on value against effort and risk. Some of them we will recommend you do not do, which is usually the most valuable part of the engagement.
System
Design
A concrete target architecture with the on-prem-versus-cloud decision made per component rather than as a blanket policy.
System
Cost
Real numbers: build cost, run cost at your volumes, and the break-even point where owning a fine-tuned model beats paying per token.
Outcome
Roadmap
Sequenced so the first thing delivered pays for the second. You can hand the document to another firm if you would rather — it is yours.
