02 / Find a useful starting point

Understand the work.
Find the opportunity.

Look closely at one part of your business. Identify where AI or a simpler process could help, then choose a practical first experiment with a clear way to judge it.

Discuss an opportunity review

The useful output

What you
leave with.

A view of the current process

Map the people, inputs, decisions, systems and handovers involved in the agreed area of the business.

An opportunity map

Separate tasks that could benefit from AI from those better served by process changes or straightforward automation.

A prioritised shortlist

Compare likely value, effort, data availability and the consequences of getting something wrong.

A first-experiment brief

Define a small test, a process owner, a baseline and the evidence needed to make the next decision.

An example question

Where does the
week actually go?

A team spends hours assembling updates, preparing invoices and sorting enquiries. The first step is to see the work clearly, then decide which opportunity deserves a closer look.

A useful review makes
four things clear.

The problem worth solving.
The evidence and assumptions.
The smallest worthwhile test.
The decision that comes after it.

How it works

A clear path
through the work.

See the work

Walk through a real example with the people doing it.

Compare possibilities

Make the assumptions, dependencies and trade-offs visible.

Choose a first test

Recommend a manageable experiment and measures of success.

A good starting point

What we need
from you.

Access to a process owner and people who do the work.
A walkthrough of the current process and its constraints.
Approved examples and any existing baseline measures.

Clear scope, from the start.

The review is a decision tool. Its recommendations depend on the information available. Estimated benefits remain assumptions until tested; there is no commitment to an implementation or a guaranteed saving.

We agree the scope, responsibilities, timing and costs before work begins.

Your next step

Let’s make the
next decision clearer.
