Scoped engagement / 03 / Readiness
AI Readiness & Architecture Sprint
A scoped assessment of one prospective AI use case and the architecture, data and operating conditions around it.
AI experimentation often starts before the organisation has agreed what information is suitable, where human review sits, or who will own the capability. A narrower question can prevent premature platform decisions.
Technology leaders, AI sponsors, risk owners and business process owners deciding whether and how to pursue a use case.
A working boundary to refine together, not a predetermined statement of work.
- 01Define one use case, intended users, workflow and decision to be made.
- 02Review the relevant information flows, existing systems and integration constraints.
- 03Surface governance, security, privacy, human oversight and operational ownership questions.
- 04Compare feasible architectural directions at a decision-making level.
- 01A use-case readiness brief with explicit assumptions and unresolved dependencies.
- 02An architecture options view, including integration and control considerations.
- 03A recommended next decision: validate further, redesign the use case, proceed to a controlled experiment or stop.
This does not build or deploy an AI system, certify compliance, or guarantee a viable use case. Sensitive data access and assessment depth are agreed in advance.
