AI Opportunity Sprint

There is revenue in your business you have not been able to reach.

The Sprint finds it. £999, fixed, and the written AI Transformation Roadmap is in your hands within a week of our conversation, naming each opportunity and what it would take.

The feeling

You probably know it already. The business runs and the team is busy, and money still gets left behind: the quote that goes out late, the leads nobody goes back to once the first email fails. You suspect AI could reach some of it. Then the doubts arrive: not technical enough, too new, too confusing, changing too fast. So it sits on the someday list, and the revenue stays where it is.

The Sprint closes the gap between suspecting and knowing. It examines how your business actually works, and you get the answer in writing.

What a Sprint is

A focused examination of how your business runs, done with you rather than to you. We look at the work itself: what gets done and where it drags. Then we write the Roadmap. Nothing is built during a Sprint, and nothing else is sold during one. If you want help with a next stage afterwards, that is a separate conversation.

Where the revenue hides

Six patterns are what a Sprint goes looking for: jobs rebuilt from scratch every time they recur; information typed twice because two systems do not talk to each other; work that stops and waits on one person; knowledge that lives only in someone’s head; work you turn down for lack of capacity; and subscriptions you already pay for but use shallowly. That last one is worth checking first, because the spend has already happened.

None of these takes new technology to spot. It takes someone going looking, who knows what AI can now do well enough to say which ones are worth acting on. That is the work.

Who it is for

Owner-led firms with a team and real workflows, where the person reading this decides. If that is you, and you want a straight answer on where AI fits before committing to anything bigger, the Sprint was built for exactly that.

If you already have an idea of what you want to do, it is still worth starting here. We would look at how that idea connects to everything else we find, and whether it is the right thing to do first.

If a Sprint is not worth running in your business, we will say so on the call, before you have paid anything.

How it runs

You get the invoice and a questionnaire on day one. The questionnaire takes about twenty minutes, and half-finished is fine; the gaps become the agenda. Then we talk for an hour or so about how the work actually happens, in your order. After that conversation the clock starts: the Roadmap is in your hands within a week of it.

What you receive

The AI Transformation Roadmap, delivered as a PDF, yours to keep. It names the opportunities we found, grouped by the part of the business they sit in, each with what it would be worth to you and what it would take to get there. It also says where we would leave AI alone. Every item is ranked high or lower priority with the reason given, so you can argue with the ranking rather than take it on faith. And the figures in it are your figures: nothing goes in the Roadmap that we did not see or were not told.

Illustrative. Not client data.

An extract in the Roadmap’s own form. The business is composite and the figures are omitted, because nothing goes in a Roadmap that we did not see or were not told.
High priority · Sales and quoting
Quotes rebuilt from scratch for every enquiry
The same specification is retyped from the last similar job. Ranked high because the work recurs weekly, the inputs already exist in writing, and nothing new has to be bought to act on it.
Lower priority · Client onboarding
The same details typed into two systems
Ranked below the quoting work because the volume is smaller and one of the two systems is due to be replaced. Worth revisiting once that decision is made.
Where we would leave AI alone
The first conversation with a new client
The judgement made in that conversation is the thing the client is buying, and it is the part of the process nobody has complained about.
£999

Fixed. The scope is agreed in writing before we start. No day rate and no scope creep.

If the Roadmap surfaces one workflow that saves your team a few hours a week, it has paid for itself.

Afterwards

The Roadmap stands on its own. If you want help putting an opportunity into practice, implementation and ongoing Concierge support are scoped separately, as is training for your team. Nothing about the Sprint’s price depends on you buying anything after it.

Questions

Is a Sprint the same as an AI audit?

Yes. You may have heard people talk about AI audits, and that is essentially what a Sprint is. We call it a Sprint because the priority is getting you value quickly: the Roadmap arrives within a week of our conversation.

Why not just ask a chatbot?

You can, and it may well produce something plausible. A Sprint is different because a person does it with you: the conversation can surface things that never make it into a prompt, and Alistair makes the ranking and gives the reasons for it. The evidence comes from inside your business, and someone is accountable for what the Roadmap says.

How is this different from a big consultancy’s AI assessment?

It is direct and quick, and the person you speak to is the person who does the work. You are not paying for a team of analysts or a deck.

What do you need from us?

Twenty minutes on the questionnaire and an hour or so in conversation. Share documents if you find it easy to; we do not need access to your systems to run the Sprint.

Do we need to be technical?

No. The questionnaire and the conversation are about the business. Tools appear in the Roadmap as examples of how an opportunity could be done; the tool is never the offer.

What if we disagree with the ranking?

Good. The Roadmap gives the reason for every ranking precisely so you can argue with it. Where you know something we did not see, the ranking should move.

The call is a conversation about whether a Sprint is worth running in your business. If it is not, we will say so.
