ASSESS phase: Validate before you commit
The Assess phase turns early ideas, AI opportunities, product directions and technology questions into clear business decisions. We evaluate value, feasibility, risk, data readiness and technical foundations, so teams know what to build, what to fix and what to prioritise before moving further.
Agentic Sprint
Validate your AI idea in just 10 days.
01.
Frame
DAYS 1–2
- Pick the one use case with real business value
- Define success metrics the board will recognise
- Confirm data access and technical feasibility
02.
Build
DAYS 3–8
- A working agent on your data in your environment
- Reasoning, tool use and memory, not a demo
- Guardrails a human-in-the-loop from day one
03.
Prove
DAYS 9–10
- Measured against the KPIs you set on day one
- A costed roadmap from prototype to production
- A clear, evidence-based build, buy or partner decision
AI & Data Readiness
Once the opportunity is validated, the next question is whether your organisation is ready to support it.
Data Readiness
Is your company’s data available, accessible, and well governed? We determine whether your priority AI use cases have the foundations they need.
Team Skills and AI Literacy
Technical capabilities, AI literacy, roles and ownership are mapped to reveal the skills and organisational gaps that could slow delivery.
Tooling and Infrastructure
Your platforms, architecture, integrations, security and infrastructure are assessed to establish what can support AI delivery today.
Processes and Automation
Workflows, handoffs and existing automation are reviewed to expose inefficiencies, implementation barriers and the strongest opportunities.
AI & Data Strategy
Readiness shows where you are today. Strategy defines where to go next.
How It Works
The result: a prioritised AI strategy, target architecture and delivery roadmap ready for leadership sign-off.
New Product Discovery
With a clear strategy in place, it’s time to shape the solutions that will create measurable value.
How Discovery Works
The result: validated ideas, a clearly defined scope and a product roadmap that supports faster, more predictable delivery.
Tech Due Diligence
Before committing to delivery or investment, uncover the technical risks that could impact business outcomes.
WHAT WE EVALUATE
Every assessment covers the areas that have the biggest impact on your product’s quality, scalability, security, and delivery.
Code Quality & Maintainability
Q assess how clean, consistent, and testable your codebase is, including structure, documentation, and test coverage. This helps identify areas that slow down development, increase bugs, or make onboarding new developers difficult.
Development Processes
Your team’s planning, development, testing, and deployment workflows are analysed to understand how work moves from idea to production. This includes workflows and collaboration practices that impact delivery speed, quality, and consistency.
Infrastructure & Tooling
Your infrastructure, environments, and tooling setup are evaluated — including CI/CD pipelines, deployment processes, and system configuration. This helps identify bottlenecks, inconsistencies, and gaps that impact reliability, scalability, and overall delivery efficiency.
Architecture & Scalability
This is where we evaluate how your system is designed and whether it can support growth, new features, and increasing load. This includes identifying bottlenecks, overly complex solutions, and architectural decisions that limit flexibility.
Security & Risk Exposure
We review potential vulnerabilities, access controls, and compliance risks across your system. The goal is to uncover weak points that could lead to data breaches, downtime, or regulatory issues.
Technical Debt & Complexity
You get a clear view of where quick fixes, outdated solutions, or unnecessary complexity are making your system harder to maintain and slowing your team down. This highlights what needs to be simplified or reworked.
The result: a prioritised action plan that turns technical findings into clear recommendations for reducing risk, improving maintainability and supporting more confident decisions.
