For Industrial & manufacturing

We get paid
when you do.

No retainers. No hourly billing. No payment without results. Our entire engagement model is designed to align our incentives completely with your success — starting with a fixed-fee assessment that stands on its own.

01Engagement Model

Two phases. One principle.

Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee assessment. What comes after is structured entirely around what you decide to build together — and priced only on what we deliver.

Discovery Assessment

A four-week deep dive into your organization. Every engagement starts here, no exceptions. At the end, you have a standalone, actionable AI roadmap — whether or not you proceed further.

  • Full organizational and process audit
  • AI readiness evaluation by department
  • Prioritized opportunity matrix
  • Proposed Statement of Work

Milestone-Based Engagement

Scope and fee are defined together during the assessment. The engagement is structured entirely as milestone-based payments. Each payment triggers only when a defined outcome is achieved and verified — not submitted, but delivered.

  • Scope defined collaboratively post-assessment
  • Milestones tied to specific, measurable outcomes
  • Payment on verified delivery — not on submission
  • No milestone achieved means no payment owed
02Assessment Detail

What happens in the four weeks.

Each week has a defined focus, a concrete set of activities, and a deliverable you receive at the end of it. No black boxes. You see everything as it is built.

  • End-to-end mapping of your organization's core business processes
  • Inventory of current tools, systems, and data infrastructure
  • Documentation of where human time and effort is most heavily concentrated
Deliverable

Comprehensive process inventory

Week 02

AI Readiness & Gap Analysis

  • Assessment of data quality, availability, and accessibility per process
  • Analysis of integration complexity and technical prerequisites
  • Benchmarking against what peer organizations are already deploying
Deliverable

AI readiness scorecard by process and department

  • Quantification of value per process — time saved, cost reduced, revenue enabled
  • Separation of quick wins from strategic long-term plays

  • Definition of specific, measurable milestones for each workstream
  • Proposed engagement structure, timeline, and milestone payment schedule
  • Executive readout and presentation of full findings
Deliverable

A mutually agreed Statement of Work ready for signature — or a standalone findings report if you choose not to proceed

03How It Works

Milestone payments, explained.

The statement of work defines what we build together. Payment is tied entirely to whether we deliver it.

01

Defined together

Milestones are written collaboratively during the assessment. You know exactly what we're committing to before any engagement begins.

02

Triggered by verified outcomes

Payment is due only when a milestone outcome has been achieved and confirmed — not when work is submitted, but when results are real.

03

No outcome, no payment

If we don't hit the milestone, we don't get paid. No exceptions. No workarounds. That's what alignment actually means.

“If we don’t hit the milestone, we don’t get paid. No exceptions, no workarounds, no renegotiation. That is what it means to be aligned.”

04The Assessment Alone

A complete roadmap, even if you stop here.

The $25,000 assessment is not a sales motion. Whether or not you proceed to a Statement of Work, you leave with a full picture of where you stand and what to build next — developed by practitioners who have deployed these systems at scale.

Prioritized AI roadmap

A ranked list of the highest-value opportunities in your organization, with implementation feasibility scored.

Quantified opportunity model

Projected ROI ranges for each opportunity — time saved, cost reduced, revenue enabled, risk mitigated.

AI readiness scorecard

A clear-eyed view of your data infrastructure, system integrations, and technical prerequisites by department.

Change management map

An honest assessment of the organizational and human factors that will shape adoption success.

Peer benchmarking

Context on what organizations in your space are already deploying and where you sit relative to them.

Practitioner perspective

Analysis built by a team that has actually deployed these systems — not a slide deck of general AI trends.

Clients who complete the assessment and choose not to proceed to a Statement of Work retain full ownership of all findings, analysis, and recommendations — with no obligation and no follow-on pressure.
