Pilot to Production Sprint

Your AI pilot, live with real users in six weeks.

The demo impressed everyone. Months later, it is still only a demo. Pick one AI or agent workflow that's stuck there. In six weeks we agree what good looks like, test it on real cases, connect it to your systems, try hard to break it, and put it in front of a small group of real users. Then your business owner decides whether to widen it, extend it or stop.

6 weeks from start. Founder-reviewed. Fixed fee, agreed before work starts.

What you can decide at the end

Take one stuck AI pilot out of the demo room and into daily use by real people, in six weeks.

Fit

Who this is for, and who it is not for.

It is for

  • Leaders with an AI or agent pilot that works well in demos but hasn't reached real users
  • Companies where security, engineering and the business all have to say yes
  • Teams that want a fixed six weeks instead of a build with no end date
  • Owners who want to keep the system and its tests afterwards

It is not for

  • Open-ended platform builds. The sprint takes one clearly defined workflow
  • Camera and vision work, which starts with a Vision Line Check because images and hardware need testing first
  • Companies without a business owner ready to make the call at the end

Before we start

What we need from you before day one.

One clearly defined workflow, agreed in writing.

A business owner with the authority to decide.

Data access in week one.

A security contact available throughout.

If these aren't in place, the six weeks end with a system ready to release, not a live release. You'll hear that before we start, not in week six.

Week by week

Pilot to Production Sprint, week by week.

  1. Week 1: Define success

    What you see
    Workflow agreed with the business owner, with three to five measures of success written down
    What we do
    Today's numbers measured, data access set up, and the security contact briefed
    By the end
    Success measures and starting numbers signed off
  2. Week 2: Build the test set

    What you see
    Pass marks agreed with the business owner
    What we do
    Test set built from real cases, and a risk log started
    By the end
    Test set and pass marks agreed
  3. Week 3: Build

    What you see
    Weekly demo on real data
    What we do
    First working version built on real data
    By the end
    Working version on real data
  4. Week 4: Connect

    What you see
    Demo inside your own systems
    What we do
    Connected to your systems, with limits set on what it may do on its own for each action, and monitoring switched on
    By the end
    Connected and monitored
  5. Week 5: Try to break it

    What you see
    Release review with the business owner, security and engineering
    What we do
    Release tests and deliberate attacks, including prompt injection, where someone hides instructions to trick the AI. Runbook and rollback plan written
    By the end
    Tests passed, or the gaps listed
  6. Week 6: Go live

    What you see
    Release to a small group of named users, then the decision meeting
    What we do
    Live use monitored, and the decision recorded with the results behind it
    By the end
    The business owner's decision, recorded with the results

Deliverables

What you receive at the end.

  1. The working system, in your environment and your code repositories
  2. The success measures and test results
  3. A test suite you can rerun whenever you like
  4. Results from the break-it tests, including prompt injection
  5. A monitoring dashboard
  6. A runbook and a rollback plan
  7. The final decision, with the results behind it

Who needs to agree

What each person who signs off gets from this step.

For the managing director or chief executive

Six weeks, one workflow, real users. Then your business owner widens it, extends it or stops it, with the results on the table.

For the operations head

The business owner gives about two hours a week to agree measures, watch demos and decide at the end. Your team supplies real cases and looks at what went wrong.

For the IT and plant systems head

Built in your environment and repositories from week one, under your access rules. Monitoring, a runbook and a rollback plan are in place before any user touches it.

For the CFO

Judged against the success measures your business owner signs off in week one, with today's numbers as the starting point.

For risk and information security

Your security contact is involved from week one. Break-it tests, prompt-injection tests and approval logs all come before release.

Commercial

A fixed price for the six weeks, agreed in writing before we start.

The scope names the fee, what you receive and the start window before any work begins.

Questions

What buyers ask before they write to us.

Why six weeks?

Long enough to build, test and launch one clearly defined workflow properly. Short enough that the work doesn't keep growing. Bigger systems are split into sprints, one after another, and you decide after each one.

What counts as one workflow?

One process with a clear start and finish, one business owner, known inputs and a result you can measure. For example, drafting replies to one type of customer enquiry for an agent to check and send.

Who owns the code?

You do. It's built in your own code repositories from week one.

What if our data isn't ready?

Week one will show it. Then we either narrow the workflow to what the data can support, or finish with a system ready to launch and a written list of what has to change first.

Is this only for generative AI?

No. It works for any AI step inside one clearly defined workflow, including sorting items into categories, pulling data out of documents and forecasting. Camera inspection starts with a Vision Line Check instead, because images and hardware need testing first.

What follows

Even if you stop, you keep the tests, the data and the code.

If it's a go, your team runs the system with the runbook, the test suite and the decision record, all written so they can.

If you stop, the findings and the reasons carry over to your next AI idea, so the six weeks still count.
