Prioritise. Sequence. Build.

Roadmap

Turn multiple AI opportunities into a sequenced build plan — with architecture decisions locked

You've validated one opportunity. Or maybe you have a backlog of five. Now the question is: what do we build first, in what order, and what architecture supports all of it?

Roadmap takes 3–4 weeks to turn a list of possibilities into a sequenced build plan — with shared infrastructure decisions, quick wins identified, and a clear path from first PoV to production scale.

Not a strategy deck. A build plan you can execute.

What It Is

A 3–4 week engagement that prioritises your AI opportunities against technical feasibility, business impact, and dependencies — then sequences them into a phased build plan.

You get architecture decisions that hold across multiple use cases, not one-off solutions that don't connect.

The output isn't a report. It's a plan your team can start executing the week after we finish.

What You Get

Everything documented. Yours to keep. Ready to hand to any team — internal or external.

Prioritised Opportunity Backlog

Ranked by impact, feasibility, and dependencies — not just gut feel

Sequenced Build Plan

12–24 month phased roadmap with clear milestones

Architecture Blueprint

Shared infrastructure, reusable components, integration patterns

Quick Wins Identified

What can ship in 8–12 weeks vs. what needs longer investment

Dependency Map

What blocks what. What unlocks what.

Resource & Team Model

Who you need, when, and what skills to build internally

Decision Package

Clear recommendation on where to start — ready for leadership sign-off

Our Process

How It Works

By week 2, you have a ranked backlog. By week 4, you have an executable plan.

Week 1

Discovery

We map all opportunities, stakeholders, data landscape, and existing initiatives.

  • Opportunity inventory
  • Stakeholder alignment
  • Data landscape review
Week 2

Prioritisation

We score against impact, feasibility, dependencies. Identify quick wins.

  • Impact/feasibility scoring
  • Dependency analysis
  • Quick wins identified
Week 3

Architecture

We design shared infrastructure, lock integration patterns, define reusable components.

  • Infrastructure design
  • Integration patterns
  • Reusable components spec
Week 4

Sequencing

We build the phased plan, align with leadership, finalise the decision package.

  • 12–24 month plan
  • Leadership alignment
  • Decision package

Roadmap vs AI Strategy

Clear "build this first, then this" — no vague timelines.

What Comes Before

Roadmap works best when you've already validated at least one opportunity. If you're not sure, we'll tell you in the first call.

No idea where to start

Discovery Sprint

One validated opportunity

Proof of Value

Multiple opportunities, unclear sequence

Roadmap

Already built 2-3 PoVs, need to scale

Production & Scale

What Happens After

Roadmap de-risks everything that comes after. You're not guessing what to build — you know.

Clear first priority

Move to Proof of Value - working agent in 8-12 weeks

Multiple parallel tracks

Start 2 PoVs on shared architecture

Infrastructure work needed first

Scoped platform sprint before first PoV

Organisational blockers identified

Address governance, data access, team structure before building

Your Time Investment

Focused sessions. No death by workshop. Your team stays productive.

Executive sponsor

3–4 hours

Kickoff, prioritisation session, final alignment

Technical leads

6–8 hours

Architecture sessions, integration context

Domain experts

4–6 hours

Opportunity walkthroughs, success criteria

Data / IT

What We Don't Do

Industry Standard
Produce strategy decks that sit on shelves
Rank opportunities without technical validation
Design architecture in isolation
Disappear after handing over a PDF
Promise everything is feasible
Treat this as a sales exercise

Every deliverable leads to a build
Feasibility checked before prioritisation
Built for your stack, your constraints
We're here to build what we planned
If something won't work, we say so
