01 · Fit

When this is the right call.

Use this when

  • A workflow has enough value and urgency to improve in the next quarter.
  • The team can provide a process owner, users, source material, and system access.
  • Leadership wants production adoption, not a disconnected demo.
  • The workflow needs review rules, training, and value measurement before scale.

Not a fit if

  • The use case is not chosen and leadership still needs discovery.
  • The team cannot support process-owner interviews or user testing.
  • The goal is fully autonomous decisions in sensitive workflows.
  • The company wants a tool reseller rather than vendor-agnostic implementation.

02 · In practice

The inquiry becomes a named workflow.

Each step moves from a manual, error-prone task to a reviewed, measurable one.

/01

Pilot to production

A freshly taped grid of blank calendar cards on a job-site trailer wall, hard hats on hooks below and the first card terracotta in the morning door light.

The workflow has owners, review rules, training, logs, and operating review.

/02

Internal copilot

Three paper trays in a row on an office counter, full to empty, a red routing slip on the first stack in warm afternoon light.

The assistant is bounded by approved sources, permissions, and review standards.

/03

Operations reporting

A workshop machine with its cover open and tools laid in strict order on a canvas cloth beside it, one terracotta-handled screwdriver among them.

Inputs are summarized, exceptions are flagged, and owners review the result weekly.

Compare and decide

Price, compare, then commit.

Blueprint first

Use when the workflow, vendor, or governance path is not yet clear.

$15,000-$25,000

Implementation Sprint

Use when one or two workflows are ready to build and launch.

$35,000-$90,000+

Workflow Automation

Use for a narrower automation with clear owners and lower complexity.

$20,000-$60,000

Managed Support

Use after launch to monitor quality, adoption, cost, and vendor changes.

$3,000-$12,000/mo

Questions leaders ask

What should an AI implementation consultant deliver?

They should deliver a working workflow, not just a recommendation: owner map, source rules, build or configuration, review path, training, rollout plan, and measurement cadence.

How long should AI implementation take?

A focused first workflow usually fits a 30- to 90-day sprint. Broader programs should be sequenced into smaller launches.

What comes before implementation?

If the use case is unclear, start with an AI Opportunity Score, QuickStart Audit, or AI Transformation Blueprint before building.

What makes implementation fail?

Most failures come from tool-first scope, unclear owners, weak source material, missing review rules, or no adoption cadence after launch.
