Five steps, a stopping point at the end of the second, and a named deliverable at each one. At no point do you pay for an unverifiable promise.
Five steps, each closed by named deliverables. The first two form the audit and end with a GO / NO-GO decision. Until it is passed, build amounts are estimates only: nothing is signed, nothing is committed.
The audit led by Ailix Consulting ends with a GO / NO-GO decision. It rests on three questions: does the data you need exist, and is it usable? is the target process stable enough to automate? does the expected gain cover the cost of running it in production? When one of the three has no answer, the conclusion is NO-GO, the project stops there, and all you have committed is the price of the audit.
The process relies on knowledge that is written down nowhere, or on files whose freshness nobody can vouch for. An AI agent plugged into that answers wrong with confidence, and the error surfaces in production. Ailix Consulting says so during the audit.
Automating a process that is being redesigned means freezing an organization that has not finished deciding. Ailix Consulting then recommends stabilizing first, and gives you the criterion that will show the moment has come.
A demo takes a few days to build. What costs money is integration with your existing tools, security, monitoring and handover to your teams. When the annual gain does not absorb that, the answer is no, however impressive the demo would be.
No step ends without a document you keep. That is what makes stopping at the second one possible: whatever has been produced is already yours.
Identify the real sources of ROI, name the sponsor, set the perimeter and qualify the risks before any technical commitment.
DeliverablesAudit report and costed roadmap.
Formalize the rules of the game: business processes, data sources, access rights, compliance constraints and quality criteria.
DeliverablesOne specification per selected mission, and the scoping note for your executive committee.
You decide to commit to the build, or you stop here. The deliverables of the first two steps remain yours.
Build in code: AI agents, RAG systems, automations and business tools, with human validations where the previous step decided. Nothing critical depends on a platform you do not own the code of. Automations remain exportable and hosted on your side.
DeliverableThe system running in your environment.
Put the solution to the test: performance, security, hallucination control, real adoption by your teams, maintainability.
DeliverableEvaluation sets for the answers, a security and access review, and a third-party check of maintainability.
Document the proof and move to production: measured ROI, traced decisions, logs, a 5-year continuity plan.
DeliverableThe code and its documentation, the handover plan and the 5-year continuity plan.
Ailix Consulting publishes no timeline commitment: the calendar depends on the perimeter, is set during the audit and appears in the costed roadmap. Its only timeline commitments are about access: a one-hour diagnostic, a reply within 24 h. During the mission, every step ends with named deliverables, and the technical project lead reports on progress, priorities and what has gone into service.
