Assessment Phases

1

Generative AI Use Case Discovery

In the initial phase, we identify and prioritize high-impact Generative AI opportunities within your organization. Leveraging process mapping, competitive analysis, and technical deep dives, we develop a clear, actionable use case opportunity matrix aligned with your business objectives.

2

Data Readiness Discovery

We assess your organization’s data landscape to ensure readiness for AI adoption and identify any potential gaps. We perform a comprehensive data inventory, evaluate data quality in terms of accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness, and review data accessibility, integration capabilities, and formats.

3

Compliance & Integration Discovery

All applicable regulatory requirements are assessed, along with your organization’s security and privacy controls. Existing technology infrastructure and integration points are evaluated, API capabilities and system interoperability are reviewed, and a risk assessment with corresponding mitigation strategies is conducted.

4

Model Evaluation

A comprehensive AI model assessment is conducted, with recommendations on the models best suited for the top use cases identified. Our evaluation considers performance and capabilities, cost efficiency, reliability, and consistency, delivering a detailed recommendation supported by evidence and analysis of total cost of ownership.

 

5

Implementation Plan & Recommendation

In this phase, we design the technical architecture and system integration approach for your AI initiative. We define implementation phases, timelines, and critical milestones, and identify the resources, time, and materials required for a proof-of-concept or production-ready deployment.

6

Business Case & ROI Analysis

Expected benefits are quantified, including cost savings and revenue opportunities, with calculated return on investment across multiple scenarios. We develop a TCO model, including ongoing operational costs, success metrics and key performance indicators, and prepare an executive summary with strategic recommendations.

7

Ethical AI Usage

As a conclusion to the assessment, we provide guidance and documentation on the steps required for ethical AI implementation, addressing key principles including Fairness, Explainability, Security, Safety, and Governance.
