Possibilities Session

You leave a 90-minute working session with three AI opportunities taken from your own business, ranked by effort and impact, one recommended first move, and a two-page summary you can put in front of your leadership team. It carries no costing and no commitment.

Sound familiar?

Everyone tells us we should be doing something with AI. Our board asks about it, competitors say they are already doing it, and a few people on my team have tried ChatGPT. But I cannot tell which of the dozen ideas floating around are worth doing first, or what is realistic for a company our size. I do not want to pay a consultancy for a sixty-slide deck to find that out, and I do not want to start the wrong project because it was the loudest one.

What you leave with

  • Two-page summary

    Format: PDF, sent within two working days

    How we know it’s acceptableThree opportunities each with a description, an effort and impact rating and one line of reasoning; one recommended first move; one ‘not yet’; a ‘what we did not assess’ note. You reply confirming it matches what was discussed.

  • Follow-up email

    Format: Plain text, one email, within five working days

    How we know it’s acceptableNames the next programme and its published band. No attachments, no sequence.

  • Intake form responses

    Format: Online form, completed before the session

    How we know it’s acceptableRequired fields complete before the session runs. Includes your own before figure.

Also included

  • Three AI opportunities specific to your business, each described in plain language: what it would do, for whom, and in which part of the business.
  • An effort and impact read on each (low, medium or high, with one line of reasoning).
  • One recommended first move, and what it would take to start it.
  • One thing we advise them not to do yet, and why.
  • A short ‘what we did not assess’ note covering data readiness, security, cost and governance, so the summary is not mistaken for a plan.

How it runs

90 minutes

  1. Before the session

    Qualify and book

    We send an intake form and confirm the session is a good fit.

    OutAccepted or declined, and the completed intake form.

  2. 48 hours before

    Prepare

    We read your intake form and prepare questions for your industry.

    OutA one-page prep note with three or four hypotheses to test, not conclusions.

  3. The session

    90 minutes

    10 minutes on goals and framing. 30 minutes mapping where time, errors and cost hurt. 30 minutes turning a long list into three. 20 minutes rating effort and impact and agreeing a first move. Hard stops on each block.

    OutThree ranked opportunities and a first move agreed in the room.

  4. Within two working days

    Summary

    OutThe two-page written summary.

  5. Within five working days

    Follow-up

    One email naming the next programme and its band. No sequence.

Is this right for you?

This is for you if

  • Buyerthe person who owns the business outcome AI would have to move, and who can spend 90 minutes without asking for budget.
  • Also has to say yeswhoever owns the data and systems involved, because without them the intake answers will be guesses. In a larger company, the CTO or head of IT, who may ask why an outside firm is involved, so involve them early.
  • Also has to say yesWho is usually missing: the budget holder for whatever comes next. The session is free, so nobody blocks it, but a summary that never reaches the person with budget goes nowhere.

When this isn't the right fit

  • You already have an AI roadmap. If another firm or your own team has set a strategy, you need execution. The Agent Opportunity Blueprint or a build sprint is the better door.
  • Nobody attending can act on the answer. If everyone will have to take it upstairs, the summary goes nowhere. Bring a decision-maker, or someone who speaks for priorities.
  • You want a quote for an idea you have already chosen. The session is directional and carries no costing. The Agent Opportunity Blueprint, the AI Opportunity Sprint or a build sprint is the right start.
  • You want to go deep on one use case. Ninety minutes spreads across several options. One use case in depth is a paid diagnostic.

What’s included, and what isn’t

In scope

  • one 90-minute remote session
  • up to five client attendees
  • one facilitator and one note-taker
  • review of the intake form beforehand
  • a two-page summary within two working days
  • one follow-up email within five working days

Out of scope

  • any costing, quote or proposal
  • ROI figures
  • review of client data, code or systems
  • vendor or tool selection
  • a governance, security or compliance assessment
  • a second session
  • a slide deck
  • on-site delivery
  • The summary names the next programme but does not scope it.

Before we start

Before day one

  • The intake form is returned and complete on the required fields.
  • A decision-maker, or someone who can speak for priorities, is attending, and the budget holder is attending or has agreed to read the summary.
  • No more than five attendees, on a video call with screen share.
  • You have agreed in writing that the output is directional, not a quote.
  • Consent for note-taking, and for recording if we record, is recorded.

What we’ll need from your team

  • A decision-maker or budget holder: 90 minutes in the session and about 30 minutes to read the summary.
  • One to three domain leads (operations, finance, customer service or similar): 90 minutes each in the session.
  • One person to complete the intake form: about 45 minutes in total.
  • Nothing across multiple weeks. No one on your side needs more than about three hours in total.

After we hand over

How success is measured

  • You bring one number: the hours per week your top process takes today. It is the before figure.

What comes next

  • 1 week · $8K–$15KAgent Opportunity Blueprintif the first move is automating a named workflow.
  • 2–3 weeks · $18K–$30KAI Opportunity Sprintif several opportunities span functions, or you need a board-ready case.
  • 3 weeks · $20K–$35KAI Feature Sprintif the first move is a single feature in their product and it is already well defined.
  • 60 minutes · FreeAgent Reliability Scorecardif you already run something live.
  • Nothing.If the client has no process clarity or no data, the honest answer is ‘come back when you do’. That is a finding and the summary says so.

Questions buyers ask us

  • Partly, and we would like to work with you. But the summary is yours. You can give it to any vendor or use it in-house. If it is not useful without a second meeting with us, we have failed.

  • Correct, which is why it is directional and why we ask for an intake form first. We will not cost anything or promise a return. What 90 minutes can do is stop you funding the wrong first project.

  • Good, bring it. The value is ranking it against what is realistic and what we have seen work. If your list is already ranked and costed, you do not need this and we will tell you so.

  • This is a fair objection. Every summary must include one thing we advise against doing yet, and the recommended first move is allowed to be ‘fix the process first’ or ‘use an off-the-shelf tool’. If we cannot write one honest ‘not yet’, we have not done the job.

  • The session is free and the next-step programmes publish their bands on the website. The summary names the one it points to with its band, so there are no surprises.
