Trusted by Fortune 1000 and Mid-Market Innovators | PE Operating Partners: we’ll confirm scope (3–5 PortCos) and Week 1 inputs for the Portfolio Decision Sprint.

The Smartest First Step Toward Measurable AI Progress

Before committing to a full engagement, executive teams need a clear picture of where they stand. In this 30-minute Executive Diagnostic, we’ll assess readiness, surface the primary blocker to ROI, and recommend the lowest-risk next step.

What we’ll cover

  • Where you are today: maturity, constraints, and decision urgency
  • What’s blocking ROI: data, integration, governance, change capacity, or alignment
  • What to do next: the recommended first move + what we’d validate to de-risk it

What you’ll get after the call

  • AI Readiness Snapshot (1 page): current state + key constraints
  • Clear next-step options: matched to your goals and bandwidth
  • A recommended starting engagement (if fit): what we’d do first and why

This brief call clarifies your organization’s starting point and the most effective next step. You’ll gain actionable insight, not a sales pitch.

Recommend Next Step
