Consulting Services
Every engagement applies the Business-First AI™ methodology — starting with your business problem, not a technology recommendation. AI Product Strategy, Business Analysis, and AI Readiness Assessment for healthcare, SaaS, and fintech teams.
AI Product Strategy
Problem
AI projects fail because technology is chosen before the problem is understood. Teams invest months building AI features no user needs — because no one asked the right questions first.
Approach
- • Discover the real business problem (D1 — Discover)
- • Diagnose data readiness, process maturity, team capability (D2 — Diagnose)
- • Define the AI product vision and use case shortlist (D3 — Define)
- • Design phased roadmap with RICE-scored priorities (D4 — Design)
Deliverables
- • AI Opportunity Map (5–8 prioritised use cases)
- • AI Readiness Scorecard (5 dimensions, 0–5 scale)
- • Use Case Prioritisation Matrix with RICE scores
- • Phased Implementation Roadmap (0–3, 3–9, 9–18 months)
Business Analysis for AI Products
Problem
AI product requirements are different from standard software requirements. Data requirements, model constraints, edge cases, and evaluation criteria need a structured BA approach — not a recycled feature PRD.
Approach
- • Stakeholder discovery and problem definition workshops
- • Requirements elicitation: interviews, workshops, document analysis
- • BPMN process mapping and gap analysis
- • Documentation to engineering-ready standard with sign-off
Deliverables
- • PRD Template for AI Products (Define stage)
- • Business Requirements Document (BRD)
- • BPMN process maps (current-state + future-state)
- • User story map with acceptance criteria
AI Readiness Assessment
Problem
Most organisations jump into AI without knowing if their data, processes, or team are ready. This produces expensive false starts — and destroys leadership confidence in AI before anything has shipped.
Approach
- • Data quality audit across all proposed AI inputs
- • Process maturity review for target automation areas
- • Team capability assessment (skills, tooling, governance)
- • Leadership alignment check on AI investment thesis
Deliverables
- • AI Readiness Scorecard (5 dimensions with numeric scores)
- • Prioritised Blocker List with remediation recommendations
- • 90-day Action Plan before any AI initiative begins
- • Executive summary for leadership alignment
