AI Modernization

Made for: Organizations ready to make AI the default across the business — software company or not

Modernization in three tracks: the software you build, the way your teams work, and the way the business runs. Take one, or take the arc — we find where AI pays off, build the systems that prove it, and install the practice that keeps them improving.

HOW IT WORKS

AI Modernization is the whole arc in one engagement: we find where AI pays off in your business, build the systems that prove it, and install the practice that keeps them improving after we leave. It runs in three tracks, the software you build, the way your teams deliver, and the way the business runs, and you can take one track or all three in sequence.

Every program starts with a short assessment that ends in a sequenced roadmap, then runs quarter by quarter on a days-per-week cadence: a small number of systems shipped into production each quarter, each with an owner on your side and a measure that says whether it works. The handoff is planned from day one. Modernization is done when your team runs and extends the systems without us.

THREE TRACKS · TAKE ONE, OR TAKE THE ARC

Software

for companies that build software

AI engineered into the systems you already have: codebases made AI-ready, capabilities shipped, evals attached.

Delivery

for product teams

The way you build, rebuilt around AI tooling — installed into how your team already ships.

Operations

for everyone else, including businesses that don't build software at all

Your processes, run with AI and measured like operations: agents and automation across departments, humans in the loop.

Modernization Assessment

A short, senior-led diagnostic that ends in a sequenced roadmap of where AI pays off for you and what to build first. The fee credits toward the program.

  • Duration2–3 weeks
  • ScopeOne track, or the whole business
  • FormatSenior-led, on-site or remote
  • FeeFixed, credited toward the program
You leave with

A roadmap your leadership can fund and your team can start on Monday: what to build, in what order, what it depends on, and what it is worth.

What you get
  • Sequenced roadmap: the systems to build, in order, with dependencies and an owner for each
  • Opportunity map of the track or business, scored on value, effort, and risk
  • A specification for the first build, ready to start
  • Practice gaps: the tooling, skills, and rituals your team needs to run what gets built
  • A written readout you can circulate; the fee credits toward the program
How it runs
  1. 01Discover

    Interviews with the people who own the work and the people who pay for it, and a walk through the systems, data, and tools you actually have.

  2. 02Map

    Where time and money go today, where AI could change that, and what would have to be true for it to stick.

  3. 03Sequence

    Candidate systems scored on value, effort, risk, and dependencies; the first build chosen and specified.

  4. 04Readout

    A working session with leadership: the roadmap, the case for it, and a decision on whether and where to start.

Choose this if you know AI matters here but not where to start, or you need a plan leadership will fund.

quarterly · days per week

Modernization Program

The full arc, delivered quarter by quarter: systems shipped into production, the practice to run them installed, and a handoff planned from the first week.

  • CadenceQuarterly commitment
  • PresenceSet days per week, embedded with your team
  • ScopeOne, two, or all three tracks
  • Ends whenYour team runs it without us
You leave with

AI as the default in the tracks you chose: running systems with owners and metrics, and a team that keeps improving them without us.

What you get
  • Production systems shipped each quarter, each with an owner and a metric
  • Evaluation harnesses and operational dashboards in your infrastructure
  • Decisions and architecture documented in your repositories
  • Working practices installed with the teams that use them
  • A handoff plan from week one, with the exit date agreed
How it runs
  1. 01Quarter plan

    From the roadmap: the two to four systems this quarter ships, each with an owner on your side and a measure of done.

  2. 02Build and ship

    Weekly delivery into production, with an evaluation harness or operational metric attached to every system.

  3. 03Install the practice

    The tooling, rituals, and measurements your team uses to run and extend the systems: evals in CI, dashboards, decision records.

  4. 04Review and re-plan

    End-of-quarter review against the measures; the next quarter is planned, re-sequenced, or wound down.

Choose this after an assessment, or when you already know the roadmap and want it delivered.
