AI Workflow Diagnostic

Decide whether one workflow deserves production investment.

A fixed, 10-business-day engagement that establishes the operational baseline, tests the implementation economics and defines the controls required for a bounded production build.

The output

A decision pack, not an AI workshop.

KNIC works with the executive sponsor, process owner, finance and system owners. The engagement ends with evidence strong enough to make a production decision.

Current-state map

The event, people, systems, hand-offs, decisions and exceptions from start to finish.

Finance-owned baseline

Volume, labour, delay, rework, vendor cost and leakage—agreed before savings are discussed.

Failure and control analysis

Wrong-action consequence, approval thresholds, exception owners, privacy and security requirements.

Target economics

The measurable operating change, cost to run it and acceptance period.

Ranked opportunities

What to automate, what to redesign first and what should remain human.

Fixed production scope

A go/no-go recommendation and bounded implementation proposal where the case holds.

The ten-day sequence

Move from hypothesis to a dated decision.

Frame the operation

Agree the workflow boundary, sponsor, process owner, financial owner and decision date.

Baseline the work

Collect volume, effort, elapsed time, exceptions, rework, cost and leakage.

Inspect systems and constraints

Map data, integrations, permissions, security, privacy and operational ownership.

Design the operating envelope

Separate model recommendation from authority to act; define approval, logging, rollback and failure paths.

Recommend go, reshape or stop

Present the economics, risks, acceptance measures and fixed production scope.

Good fit

Material, bounded and decision-ready.

  • A CEO, COO, CFO or technology executive sponsors the work.
  • The workflow plausibly carries $1m+ annual labour, delay, errors, vendor cost or leakage.
  • A process owner and finance owner can supply baseline data.
  • System and security owners can participate.
  • A production decision can be made within 15 days of the final presentation.

Request a triage

Send five facts about one workflow.

Approximate monthly volume; the systems it crosses; who owns the result; what happens when it is late or wrong; and the best available estimate of annual cost or leakage.
