30-day AI diagnostic: the gain in hard numbers before you invest
Before you spend a euro on AI, you know what it will return. In 30 days: your processes mapped and, for every priority use case, a return in hard euros — a payback measured in months, not promises. You leave with an investment decision, actionable with or without me.
This is for you if…
- You run an SME, a mid-cap or a professional firm, and your teams lose hours to repetitive work: data entry, inbound documents, reporting, reconciliations.
- Your day-to-day runs on Microsoft 365, SQL Server or line-of-business apps — and your data is usable.
- You've been sold AI in promises, never in euros or payback time.
- You want a documented investment decision, not yet another proof of concept that ends up in a drawer.
What you receive
-
Process map
Where the hours go, on which documents, in which tools — in writing, validated with your teams.
-
Impact × effort matrix
Every use case positioned: expected gain, complexity, data prerequisites. Bad ideas are ruled out, in writing.
-
Costed 90-day roadmap
The priority cases sequenced, each with its estimated return in euros and payback time.
-
One brief per priority case
Scope, technical feasibility on your IT system, prerequisites, cost estimate — enough to tender or build, with or without me.
The process, week by week
Three fixed milestones: kick-off, a mid-point review, and a final presentation at day 30. You always know where things stand.
-
Map (weeks 1-2)
Workshops with leadership, then with operational teams: we follow the hours, the documents and the tools — not the received wisdom. On site or remote.
Deliverable: process map and the full list of candidate use cases.
-
Quantify (week 3)
For each candidate case: the current cost of the process, the estimated cost after automation, and the implementation complexity on your actual IT system.
Deliverable: impact × effort matrix, return in hard euros per case.
-
Decide (week 4)
Final presentation to leadership: a sequenced 90-day roadmap, ruled-out cases with reasons, and a clear next step. You decide with full information.
Deliverable: costed roadmap + detailed briefs for the priority cases.
Investment
A poorly scoped AI project burns tens of thousands of euros — in pointless development, dormant licences and burnt-out teams. The diagnostic exists so that money is never spent in the wrong place.
Investment
One fixed, all-in fee
Agreed in writing before work starts, with no commitment beyond the 30 days. French SMEs: eligible for Bpifrance funding (Diag Data IA).
Guarantee: if the diagnostic surfaces no opportunity with a payback under 12 months, I refund half the fee.
Frequently asked questions
We haven't done anything with AI yet. Is it too early?
Quite the opposite — it's the best moment, and the most common situation. The diagnostic exists precisely to tell you where to start, and above all where not to start. It requires no AI prerequisites: only real processes and usable data.
What happens after the 30 days?
You own the roadmap, and it's actionable with any provider — or in-house. If you continue with me, each case moves to fixed-fee implementation: scope, price and acceptance criteria agreed before work starts.
We already have Copilot. Why a diagnostic?
Copilot speeds up your teams inside Office; it doesn't redesign a process and doesn't reach into your line-of-business apps. The diagnostic quantifies exactly what Copilot doesn't cover — and tells you when Copilot is the right answer.
