AI Specification Day

From potential to a robust specification. A focused day that describes your larger custom build clearly enough to be built with confidence.

What It Is

A focused day that turns an identified potential into a robust specification. Not a workshop for its own sake, but the foundation on which a larger custom build is delivered without nasty surprises.

Sharpen Scope

We define clearly what belongs to the project and what does not. Goals, user groups and success criteria are captured unambiguously.

Architecture Sketch

We design the technical solution at a high level: data sources, interfaces, AI building blocks, and where the solution will later run.

Effort and Risk

We estimate effort and timeline realistically and name the critical risks openly, before any budget is committed.

Who Is This For?

For mid-market companies and system integrators with a larger, custom AI project that goes beyond a standard quick start and needs a clean specification before delivery begins.

  • The project is custom and larger (a larger, custom build)
  • The AI Potential Analysis confirmed the need; now the robust specification is missing
  • Multiple systems, data sources or teams are involved
  • Before budget approval you need a concrete offer instead of a rough estimate
When You Don't Need This

If you have a clearly scoped use case meant to go live within weeks, you do not need a specification day. That is what the AI Quick Start is for, and it starts without an upfront specification day. The specification day only pays off for larger custom builds.

How It Works

A structured day, prepared and followed up, so that by the evening you hold a decision-ready specification.

1

Preparation

Beforehand we review existing materials, the results of the AI Potential Analysis and the relevant systems. That way we get straight to substance on the day itself.

2

Scope and Requirements

Together we sharpen goals, use cases and boundaries. We prioritize what gets built first and what follows later.

3

Architecture and Effort

We design the solution architecture, estimate effort and timeline, and identify the critical risks and assumptions.

4

Specification and Offer

We condense everything into a robust specification and a concrete offer for the custom build.

The Outcome

By the end of the day you have everything you need to make an informed build decision.

Robust Specification

A clearly scoped document with goals, use cases, requirements and success criteria. The foundation both sides can rely on.

Architecture Sketch

The technical solution at a high level: data sources, interfaces, AI building blocks and how the solution will run in operation.

Effort and Timeline

A realistic estimate of effort and timeline, including named risks and assumptions, transparent rather than sugarcoated.

Concrete Offer

A binding offer for the custom build that serves directly as the basis for budget approval.

Not the right fit?

For a clearly scoped use case meant to go live within weeks, the AI Quickstart is enough, with no upfront specification day. If it's still unclear where AI pays off, the AI Potential Analysis clarifies that first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What most people clarify before the specification day.

A robust specification, an architecture sketch, a realistic estimate of effort and timeline with named risks, and a concrete offer for the build. Enough to decide on the budget in front of your board.
Yes. The specification and the architecture document are yours and vendor-neutral. You can use them to build in-house or with another provider.
Not necessarily. If the project is already clearly defined, you start directly. If you did an AI Potential Analysis beforehand, we credit its fee in full toward the specification day.
For a clearly scoped use case meant to go live within weeks. The AI Quickstart has a scoping day built in and needs no upfront specification day. The specification day only pays off for larger, custom builds.
