AI & Automation Validation Programme
A prototype-led programme for practices that want evidence before committing to a larger automation project.
Decision supported: Can this priority workflow be automated reliably enough to justify a production implementation?
- Investment
- £6,950 + VAT
- Delivery
- 3-week validation programme
- Timeline
- Usually 15-20 working days
- Scope
- Up to 4 workflows, 50 samples, 10 opportunities and 1 prototype use case
Fit
Who it is for.
Practices ready to investigate a meaningful automation initiative but needing evidence that a proposed use case will work with real drawings, files and operating constraints.
Main outcome
A limited non-production proof of concept, validation evidence and a recommended production-phase scope.
Included
What is included.
Kick-off and validation design
A 90-minute kick-off, evidence and data-handling plan, initial prototype success criteria and defined decision gates.
Cross-team discovery
Up to eight 45-minute interviews to capture operational needs, exceptions, quality safeguards and implementation constraints.
Workflow and readiness assessment
Current-state maps for up to four workflows and an evidence-based audit of up to 50 representative files or samples.
Opportunity portfolio
A prioritised matrix of up to ten automation opportunities, with a documented decision to select one prototype candidate.
Proof-of-concept validation
One limited, non-production proof of concept using representative inputs, agreed test cases, recorded results and reviewer feedback.
Business case and roadmap
A 20-30 page report, capacity-release scenarios, target-state outline, 12-month roadmap and 90-minute leadership workshop.
Client inputs
What your practice needs to provide.
Executive sponsor, process owner and client-side coordinator
Up to eight relevant contributors and appropriate reviewers
Up to 50 representative, approved samples for assessment and testing
A secure method for sharing evidence and agreed data-handling expectations
Timely participation in prototype selection, test review and final workshop
Engagement flow
How the engagement works.
01
Mobilise around a test
We set a decision question, success measures, representative evidence set and data-handling approach.
02
Discover and assess
We map the most relevant workflows, audit the underlying evidence and rank the opportunity portfolio.
03
Select and validate
We choose one evidence-led use case and build a limited, non-production proof of concept against agreed criteria.
04
Decide and plan
We present validation findings, constraints, capacity-release scenarios and a 12-month roadmap with a recommended next phase.
Handover
What you receive at the end.
Executive summary and investment recommendation
Up to four current-state workflow maps
Drawing, file and data-readiness assessment
Opportunity matrix - up to ten opportunities
Prototype brief, test plan and validation evidence
Prototype demonstration with known constraints and review requirements
Conservative, expected and optimistic capacity-release scenarios
Target-state solution outline and 12-month roadmap
Recommended production-phase scope and next steps
Boundaries
Scope boundaries and exclusions.
The prototype is non-production: no deployment, integration, support, service-level commitment or user training
One prototype use case only; additional use cases are separately scoped
No guarantee of accuracy, savings or automation rate; findings are based on representative evidence
No complete historic drawing or BIM remediation
No formal legal, cyber-security, data-protection or procurement assurance
The prototype is a limited feasibility exercise. It is not production software and does not include live integrations, deployment, user support, monitoring, data migration, security certification or guaranteed production outcomes.
Success
What success looks like.
A validated answer to a practical automation question
Clear evidence of what works, what does not and where human review remains necessary
A scoped, lower-risk route into production implementation
Payment terms: 50% booking payment to confirm mobilisation; 30% due at prototype selection; 20% due before the final leadership workshop. Remote delivery is included. On-site sessions can be quoted separately.
Questions
Package-specific FAQ.
Is the prototype production software?
No. It is a limited feasibility exercise.
How many prototype use cases are included?
One prototype use case.
Does this guarantee accuracy or savings?
No. Findings are based on representative evidence and review observations.
