Begin with the task and the people behind it. Explore an AI opportunity by examining the workflow, available data, constraints, and alternatives before choosing a solution. The useful next step is to make the requirements, alternatives, and acceptance examples specific enough to discuss.
- AI opportunity reviews
- Product planning
- Integration decisions
02DEFINE THE RIGHT SCOPE
Built around
what matters.
These are useful starting points for a scope discussion, not a fixed package of deliverables.
Feasibility questions
Review the data, system access, evaluation, and operational dependencies that affect the approach.
Decision support
Compare practical options and define what should be learned before a larger commitment.
03MAKE THE IDEA TANGIBLE
See the interface.
Explore the details.
Interface examples that show the service in context. Mockups use sample content; portfolio images are identified.

02Shape & Demonstrate
+
Use the need → options → evidence → direction sequence to examine the important states, handoffs, and exceptions. Review a focused prototype or technical example before committing to all implementation details.
03Build & Validate
+
Implement the agreed scope and check representative journeys, integration boundaries, accessibility, and failure behavior. Review the work against the acceptance examples defined for this AI Consulting engagement.
04Release & Evolve
+
Agree on release requirements, access, documentation, and operational responsibilities. Future maintenance and improvements are scoped around the actual product and the engagement terms.
05MAKE THE BOUNDARIES CLEAR
Good decisions
need context.
Scope and implementation choices depend on your existing systems, access, users, and constraints.
