AI Value & Production Readiness Sprint
In 10 business days, TTD will tell you which AI opportunities are worth funding, what will block safe production, and what to do over the next 90 days.
Many organisations have AI pilots and Copilot licences, but no clear answer to three questions: which AI opportunities are worth funding, what will stop them reaching production safely, and what to do next. Our free AI Readiness Assessment gives you a quick, self-reported starting point.
The Sprint goes further. Over 10 business days, TTD works with one business unit to test that self-reported view against stakeholder interviews and real evidence, then turns it into a funded, prioritised plan. The scope is fixed, and the price is fixed and agreed up front.
Who It’s For
Built for organisations that have started with AI and now need to make defensible decisions.
Regulated Organisations
Organisations of roughly 200 to 2,000 employees in regulated sectors, where AI decisions need to stand up to risk, audit and compliance scrutiny.
Already Experimenting
Teams already running AI pilots or rolling out Microsoft Copilot who need to decide what to scale, what to fix and what to stop.
Leaders Who Need a Decision
Executives, technology and risk leaders who need a clear proceed / prepare / pause recommendation and a business case they can take to the board.
What’s Included
A fixed scope, so you know exactly what you will get.
Scope & Inputs
- One business unit
- Up to five stakeholder interviews: executive, technology, operations and risk
- Review of up to eight supporting artefacts
- Your completed AI Readiness Assessment as the self-reported baseline
- Methodology mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001
Deliverables
- Self-reported vs TTD-verified readiness score
- Stakeholder alignment and evidence-confidence analysis
- Three AI use cases ranked by value, feasibility and risk
- One quantified business case
- Data, integration, security and governance gap map
- Microsoft Foundry-aligned target architecture
- Proceed / prepare / pause decision
- Prioritised 90-day roadmap
- Executive presentation and readout
How the 10 Days Run
Days 1–2
Kickoff and evidence
Confirm scope and the business unit, collect up to eight supporting artefacts, and baseline your self-reported AI Readiness Assessment.
Days 3–5
Interviews and verification
Up to five stakeholder interviews across executive, technology, operations and risk. Test answers against evidence to produce a TTD-verified score.
Days 6–8
Use cases, business case and architecture
Rank three use cases by value, feasibility and risk, quantify one business case, map gaps and design a Microsoft Foundry-aligned target architecture.
Days 9–10
Decision and readout
Agree a proceed / prepare / pause decision, finalise the prioritised 90-day roadmap and present the findings to your executive team.
Outcomes
What you walk away with at the end of the Sprint.
Know What to Fund
A ranked shortlist of three use cases and a quantified business case for the strongest one, so investment goes where the value is.
Know What Will Block Production
A clear map of the data, integration, security and governance gaps that would stop AI reaching production safely.
Know What to Do Next
A proceed / prepare / pause decision and a prioritised 90-day roadmap your team can start on straight away.
A Score You Can Defend
Your self-reported score set alongside a TTD-verified score, with stakeholder alignment and evidence-confidence analysis.
A Target Architecture
A Microsoft Foundry-aligned target architecture that fits your existing Microsoft estate and governance requirements.
Governance-Ready Findings
Findings mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, ready to feed into your risk and compliance processes.
