The event, people, systems, hand-offs, decisions and exceptions from start to finish.
AI Workflow Diagnostic
Decide whether one workflow deserves production investment.
A fixed, 10-business-day engagement that establishes the operational baseline, tests the implementation economics and defines the controls required for a bounded production build.
The output
A decision pack, not an AI workshop.
KNIC works with the executive sponsor, process owner, finance and system owners. The engagement ends with evidence strong enough to make a production decision.
Volume, labour, delay, rework, vendor cost and leakage—agreed before savings are discussed.
Wrong-action consequence, approval thresholds, exception owners, privacy and security requirements.
The measurable operating change, cost to run it and acceptance period.
What to automate, what to redesign first and what should remain human.
A go/no-go recommendation and bounded implementation proposal where the case holds.
The ten-day sequence
Move from hypothesis to a dated decision.
Frame the operation
Agree the workflow boundary, sponsor, process owner, financial owner and decision date.
Baseline the work
Collect volume, effort, elapsed time, exceptions, rework, cost and leakage.
Inspect systems and constraints
Map data, integrations, permissions, security, privacy and operational ownership.
Design the operating envelope
Separate model recommendation from authority to act; define approval, logging, rollback and failure paths.
Recommend go, reshape or stop
Present the economics, risks, acceptance measures and fixed production scope.
Good fit
Material, bounded and decision-ready.
- A CEO, COO, CFO or technology executive sponsors the work.
- The workflow plausibly carries $1m+ annual labour, delay, errors, vendor cost or leakage.
- A process owner and finance owner can supply baseline data.
- System and security owners can participate.
- A production decision can be made within 15 days of the final presentation.
Request a triage
Send five facts about one workflow.
Approximate monthly volume; the systems it crosses; who owns the result; what happens when it is late or wrong; and the best available estimate of annual cost or leakage.
