Step 01

Find the Signal

Map the AI landscape, data readiness, and organizational gaps before making a single investment.

What Happens in This Phase

  • Stakeholder interviews across leadership, engineering, and operations to surface competing priorities and hidden assumptions
  • Data landscape mapping: what exists, what is accessible, what is reliable — and what gaps will block AI adoption
  • AI capability audit: current tools, integrations, vendor contracts, and internal skill gaps across the organization
  • Competitive analysis: where peers are investing, what is producing returns, and where the market is heading
  • Challenge articulation: naming the real problems behind the AI interest, not just the symptoms leadership reports

Organizational Gaps

The distance between AI ambition and execution capability — in skills, processes, and decision-making structures.

Vendor Noise vs. Reality

Which vendor claims hold up under scrutiny and which are marketing dressed as strategy. Honest capability assessment.
