One useful task. A decision you can stand behind.

For a small team with a specific workflow: test the whole contribution before introducing a new system. The first step is a scoped, paid pilot, agreed around your task.

01

Agree the useful end

Choose one task or new user capability, the people involved and the current alternative. Define what a person must be able to do with the result. Scope, budget and the decision at the end are agreed before starting.

02

Use permitted sources

Identify which documents and systems may be used, who can access them and which provider would process them. A document appearing in a chat is not a permission model. Unclear access is a reason to resolve the source boundary first.

03

Test the difficult cases

Use complete, incomplete and contradictory inputs. For the workshop example, missing calendar availability must stay unknown. Decide who checks accuracy, when an answer needs help and how a person can continue if the system fails.

04

Include people and integration

A draft alone is not the whole job. The pilot includes the agreed route to review and use the result, any scoped connection to existing tools, and showing the responsible people how to work with it. It does not assume autonomous customer actions.

05

Know what you are paying for

The scope separates setup, data preparation, integration, provider usage and ongoing care. No standard price or turnaround is promised here. Before a paid engagement, you receive the agreed scope, budget, checks and responsibilities.

06

Make an evidence-based decision

Review actual quality, use, corrections and total effort against today’s approach. Introduce the useful parts, change the experiment, hand it over or stop. A finding that an existing feature works better is a valid outcome.

Back & Build: operating partnership

One task is a good start.

  1. 01

    Describe your task

    Answer a few short questions about your team’s day-to-day work.

  2. 02

    Start with a small test

    If we work together, we agree on a clear task and a budget for a paid trial.

  3. 03

    Decide what comes next

    See whether it helps in practice. Then decide whether to use it, improve it or stop.

Good questions.

Before you add AI to the job.

Will we need new software?

Not necessarily. We first look at what you already use. An existing feature or a better connection between your tools may be enough.

What runs automatically, and what does not?

We agree that together. Repeated steps can follow clear rules. Your team can review important replies or commitments before they are sent.

What does a first test cost?

That depends on the task and the information you already have. Before starting, we agree what to test, the price and any ongoing costs that could follow.

What happens to our data?

Before working together, we agree which information can be used, who gets access and which providers are involved. Please do not enter confidential information or customer data here.

What if it does not help?

You do not have to take it further. We look at usefulness, effort and errors together. You decide whether to improve it, keep your current approach or stop the test.
