AI Strategy & Roadmap

A clear view of where AI gives your business the most leverage — and an ordered plan for building it, based on your existing stack, team, and priorities.

What It Is

Start With the Right Problem

Most businesses exploring AI don't have a technology problem. They have a prioritization problem. There are 50 things AI could do — but 3-5 of them will drive 80% of the value. The strategy engagement identifies those 3-5, validates the ROI case for each, and produces a sequenced implementation plan.

We draw on direct experience building AI systems for 600+ sites, across content, automation, SEO, and agent use cases. Our strategy sessions are grounded in what actually works in production — not theoretical frameworks.

What the Strategy Engagement Produces

A concrete plan, not a deck full of theory.

01

AI Opportunity Map

Every process in scope assessed for automation potential, estimated ROI, and implementation complexity — scored and ranked.

02

Build vs. Buy Analysis

For each high-priority opportunity: should you use an off-the-shelf tool, build on an existing platform, or build custom? With cost estimates for each path.

03

90-Day Implementation Roadmap

Sequenced plan for the first 3 months: what to build first, in what order, with what dependencies. Realistic timelines, not aspirational ones.

04

Stack Assessment

Review of your current tech stack for AI readiness: API access, data quality, integration points, and blockers that need to be resolved before building.

05

ROI Projections

Time-and-cost savings estimates for each automation opportunity, based on your current headcount and process volumes. Benchmarked against real delivery timelines.

06

Risk & Dependency Map

What might fail, what has hard dependencies, and what to pilot before committing. Surfaces the gotchas before you hit them mid-build.

Common Questions

Typically 2-3 weeks from kickoff to final roadmap delivery. This includes discovery interviews, analysis, draft review, and final presentation.

No — though we find it useful to include one technical stakeholder and one business stakeholder. We translate between the two in our analysis.

You can implement the roadmap internally, with another partner, or engage us to build. Many clients engage us for implementation directly following the strategy — but there's no obligation.

No. We document what we find honestly, including cases where the right answer is to use a SaaS tool rather than build custom. The goal is a useful roadmap, not a maximized project scope.
