AI Workflow Diligence Sprint
Named deliverable Workflow Diligence Readout
From $12,000 · Three calendar weeks after kickoff and receipt of the agreed source material
I follow one workflow from intake to final review. We document who does what, which tools and files are involved, where time is spent, and what happens when the output is wrong. From there, I separate work that should stay deterministic from work where a model may be worth testing. The Readout ranks the opportunities, explains the risks, and defines one pilot closely enough to estimate and decide whether to build. Building and hardening the pilot is a separate engagement.
What you get
- A current-state workflow map
- A time and cost baseline where the available evidence supports one
- A record of the handoffs, review points, and failure consequences
- A breakdown of deterministic, model-assisted, and human-judgment steps
- A risk-and-value ranking of the possible automation points
- One bounded pilot specification with inputs, outputs, acceptance criteria, and stop conditions
- An implementation estimate for that pilot
- A build, narrow, defer, or stop decision memo
Who it's for
Science and engineering teams with a recurring workflow, representative inputs, an internal sponsor, and a real decision about whether automation is worth funding
