The diagnosis
Understand first. Then invest.
A paid diagnosis as the way in, with a baseline measurement that steers everything after it.
The diagnosis is where every engagement starts. It establishes where your organisation stands and what the next sensible step is — before a euro goes to technology.
What the diagnosis establishes
- Where your organisation stands with AI today.
- Which initiatives are already running, and what they have returned so far.
- Which processes genuinely hold room for improvement.
- Why existing pilots are not landing in daily work.
- Which opportunities deserve priority, and which do not.
- What has to be measured to be able to show progress.
- What the next practical intervention should be.
The baseline
No baseline. No progress you can prove.
The diagnosis produces the starting point that everything after it steers on.

Follow-up
What demonstrably moved
Which indicators apply differs per engagement. We agree them in advance, with you.
Why it is paid and not free
A free scan costs you nothing and usually returns about as much: a presentation with general observations that nobody commits to. A paid engagement obliges us to a judgement you can check, and gives you the standing to dispute it. It is also the more honest way to begin: you buy a bounded piece of research, not an engagement you are not ready for.
Scope and investment
- Duration
- Three weeks, from kick-off to the presentation to your board.
- What it asks of you
- Six to ten conversations of an hour, half a day of observation per process, and a sponsor available twice for an hour. Fifteen to twenty hours in total, spread over three weeks.
- What you receive
- A recorded baseline, three processes with reasoned prioritisation and the grounds for leaving the rest alone, the conditions for adoption per process, and a proposal for the next intervention — presented and defended to your board.
- Investment
- A fixed price with a named outcome, not a day rate that runs on. We name the figure in the first conversation, once the scope is clear, and put it in writing beforehand.
The price covers one organisation or one business unit. If the question spans several units, we set the scope in advance and price accordingly — not afterwards on time spent.
