Discovery Sprint

Map your AI and data landscape in two weeks.

You have data accumulating, stakeholders asking about AI, and no clear picture of where to start. This sprint gives you that picture: a prioritized roadmap, rough ROI estimates, and a concrete plan your team can act on immediately.

Before our engagement
Problem

Data is accumulating with no strategy

You're collecting data across systems but nobody owns the plan for using it.

Problem

Leadership is asking about AI

The board or exec team wants an AI strategy and your team doesn't know where to start.

Problem

Vendor pitches are hard to evaluate

Every vendor claims their solution fits. You don't have the framework to tell which claims hold up.

Problem

Past initiatives haven't shipped

You've tried AI projects before. They stalled, went over budget, or never left the proof-of-concept stage.

Problem

No internal AI expertise

Your team is strong in the domain but doesn't have the technical depth to scope AI work properly.

Problem

Assessing scope before a larger commitment

You're a GovCon prime or org lead who needs a clear landscape before committing budget.

What we need from you
We've done this inside AFRL, Kessel Run, the State Department, and USAGM.

This isn't a generic AI readiness assessment. The person running your discovery sprint has spent 15+ years building data infrastructure and AI systems for federal agencies where the stakes are real and the data is messy.

We know what good data infrastructure looks like at the mission-critical level. That perspective shapes every recommendation we make: what's worth building, what's not ready yet, and what vendors are overselling.

Pricing
Fixed fee
$15,000 – $25,000

Price depends on organization size and complexity of your data landscape. Includes all interviews, audit work, deliverables, and a 30-minute follow-up call two weeks after delivery. No hourly billing. No change orders.
