See Where AI Could Actually Help Your Business
A careful look at your workflows that cuts through the hype to show you genuine opportunities for intelligent assistance.
Back to HomeWhat This Analysis Delivers
This service gives you clarity about where AI might genuinely add value to your operations. Rather than promises about transformation, you'll receive an honest assessment of your workflows, documented in a way that helps you make informed decisions about technology investment.
You'll understand which parts of your processes could benefit from intelligent automation, what's realistically achievable with current technology, and what the practical considerations would be. This knowledge lets you approach AI integration thoughtfully, focusing resources where they're most likely to make a meaningful difference.
The outcome is a clear picture of your opportunities, free from vendor hype, that respects both the capabilities and limitations of today's AI tools. You'll know what's worth exploring further and what might be better left as it is.
Understanding Your Current Situation
You're likely facing workflows that feel inefficient, tasks that consume more time than they should, or processes that seem ripe for improvement but you're unsure exactly how to approach them. The landscape of AI solutions feels overwhelming, with vendors making claims that sound both promising and somewhat unbelievable.
Perhaps you've read about businesses transforming their operations with AI, but you're wondering if those stories apply to your situation. There's pressure to do something about digital transformation, yet the path forward isn't obvious. You want to explore possibilities without committing to solutions that might not actually fit your needs.
What's holding many businesses back is the gap between general AI capabilities and specific operational realities. You need someone to bridge that gap, to look at your actual workflows and provide grounded advice about what might genuinely help.
Our Approach to Process Analysis
We begin by observing how work actually moves through your organisation, not how it's supposed to work according to documentation, but how it happens day to day. This means talking with the people who do the work, watching processes unfold, and understanding the informal adaptations that make things function.
We document these workflows in clear visual maps that show decision points, handoffs, bottlenecks, and areas where information gets transformed or duplicated. This creates a shared understanding of your current state that often reveals insights even before we consider automation.
Then we analyse these processes specifically through the lens of what AI can actually do today, not what it might do eventually. We identify activities that involve pattern recognition, data extraction, content generation, or decision support where intelligent tools could provide assistance. For each opportunity, we assess technical feasibility, potential impact, and implementation considerations.
What makes this approach effective is its grounding in reality. We're not selling AI solutions, so our assessment focuses on your needs rather than what we happen to offer. If we think AI isn't the right answer for a particular challenge, we'll tell you that directly.
The Analysis Journey
Working together feels collaborative and thoughtful. We start with conversations about your operations, the challenges you're facing, and what you're hoping to achieve. These discussions help us understand your context and identify which workflows to examine in detail.
During the observation phase, we spend time with your team, watching how work actually happens. People often find this process valuable in itself, as articulating how they work can reveal inefficiencies or opportunities they hadn't consciously recognised. We approach these sessions with curiosity rather than judgment, seeking to understand rather than critique.
As we map your processes, we share our developing understanding with you, checking that we've captured things accurately. This iterative approach ensures the final documentation reflects your reality. When we analyse automation opportunities, we explain our thinking clearly, helping you understand why certain activities might benefit from AI assistance and why others might not.
Throughout the analysis, you'll feel informed and involved. We're not working in isolation to produce a report that appears mysteriously at the end. Instead, we're building understanding together, so the insights feel earned rather than delivered from on high.
Investment Details
per analysis
This investment covers a thorough examination of your chosen workflows, typically one to three significant processes depending on complexity. The value lies both in the clarity you'll gain about automation opportunities and in the documented understanding of how your work actually flows.
Many organisations find that the process mapping itself reveals improvement opportunities that don't require AI at all, making the analysis valuable regardless of whether you proceed with automation. You'll receive detailed workflow diagrams, a written report identifying specific opportunities, and realistic assessments of what implementation would involve.
The pricing reflects the time required to understand your processes properly, typically one to two days of observation and discussion, plus analysis and documentation. More complex workflows or multiple process streams naturally require more time, which is reflected in pricing toward the upper range.
If you're uncertain about scope, we can discuss your situation during an initial conversation to help you understand what level of analysis would be most helpful for your needs.
How We Ensure Quality
Our methodology draws on established process analysis techniques while focusing specifically on AI opportunities. We use visual mapping tools that make complex workflows understandable at a glance, and we structure our analysis around questions that matter to implementation decisions.
Results are measured through the clarity and usefulness of the documentation we produce. You should finish the analysis with a clear understanding of your automation opportunities and confidence about next steps, whether that's pursuing specific projects or deciding AI isn't the right focus for now.
We track progress through defined stages: initial scoping, process observation, documentation review, opportunity analysis, and final reporting. At each stage, you'll know what we're doing and why. The timeline typically spans two to three weeks from engagement to final report, allowing time for observation, analysis, and thoughtful documentation.
What you can expect realistically is honest assessment rather than inflated promises. If we see limited opportunities for AI assistance in your workflows, we'll say so clearly. Our goal is to help you make good decisions, not to manufacture projects.
Working With Confidence
We approach this analysis without any pressure for you to proceed with implementation. Our interest is in providing useful information, not creating dependencies or pushing solutions. If our assessment suggests AI isn't the right answer for your situation, that's a valuable finding that saves you from misguided investment.
Your satisfaction comes from receiving analysis that feels grounded and helpful rather than promotional. We're committed to producing documentation you can actually use, whether that's for internal decision-making, vendor discussions, or long-term planning.
There's no obligation beyond the analysis itself. If you want to explore opportunities further through proof of concept work, we're available for that. If you prefer to take our findings and work with others, that's completely reasonable. If you decide to focus on other priorities, we understand entirely.
We're confident in this approach because it aligns our interests with yours. When we provide genuinely useful analysis, that builds the kind of relationship where future collaboration might make sense. If we don't deliver value, we wouldn't expect or deserve ongoing engagement.
Getting Started Is Simple
The path forward begins with a conversation about your processes and what you're hoping to understand. We'll discuss which workflows might benefit from analysis and what scope would be most helpful given your situation and budget.
Once we've agreed on scope, we arrange time for process observation and team discussions. This typically involves a day or two spread across a week or two, scheduled to minimise disruption to your operations. We coordinate with your team to find times that work for everyone involved.
After observation, we spend time mapping and analysing what we've learned. You'll receive draft documentation to review before we finalise the report, ensuring we've captured things accurately and the findings make sense to you.
When the analysis is complete, we schedule time to walk through the findings together, answering questions and discussing implications. This conversation often proves as valuable as the documentation itself, as it allows for deeper exploration of specific opportunities or concerns.
