Examples

Is this your project?

These situations provide a concrete indication of the work this service covers.

  1. 01

    A recurring file needs to be validated, transformed, and imported automatically.

  2. 02

    Two systems need to exchange a specific subset of data through an API.

  3. 03

    A team needs a small administrative dashboard or portal.

  4. 04

    A document workflow needs classification or summarization using AI under client rules.

Scope

What can be included

  • Discovery of the current process and measurable outcome
  • Selection of a script, integration, small application, or applied AI
  • Focused prototype when uncertainty warrants it
  • Development, testing, and expected error handling
  • Usage and configuration documentation
  • Handover of code or service according to the agreement

Not included unless agreed

  • Broad digital transformation without a defined boundary
  • Use of sensitive data in a public model without approval
  • A promise that an AI system will always be correct
  • Ongoing support or hosting not included in scope

Handover

Possible deliverables

  • 01Process description and acceptance criteria
  • 02Agreed tool, integration, or automation
  • 03Test cases and validation results
  • 04Operating or handover instructions
  • 05Known limitations, dependencies, and exceptions

Getting started

What we need to scope the work

  • Real example of the process or files
  • Systems to connect and available access
  • Business rules, volumes, and frequency
  • Data, security, and residency constraints
  • Process owner and success criterion

Data, access, and validation

AI is used only when it fits the problem and constraints. Hosting options, data flows, human oversight, limitations, and validation criteria are defined before production use.

Questions

Questions about this service

Do we need to replace our current system?

Not necessarily. A small utility, integration, or focused enhancement can sometimes solve the problem without adding another large platform.

Can you automate an Excel process?

Yes, when the inputs, rules, outputs, and error cases can be defined. A sample helps confirm feasibility.

Can data be kept out of public AI models?

The architecture can be designed around that constraint. Models, providers, processing locations, and retention rules must be assessed and approved for the project.

Next step
