Level 1–2 · 2-week diagnostic
Pilot Autopsy
Your pilots aren't failing because the technology doesn't work. They're failing because nobody owns the decision to ship them. This diagnostic tells you exactly where the operating model is broken — and which 2–3 workflows are worth funding.

The Pattern We See
Most mid-market organisations are running 5+ pilots. Almost none reach production.
The blocker isn't the technology. It's the operating model.
No Exec Owner
Nobody with delivery authority who can fund and deliver
No Metrics
Board wants updates but success is undefined
No Guardrails
Risk engaged too late, everything slows down
No Workflow Map
Use cases chosen without mapping real processes
No Kill Criteria
Pilots run indefinitely, becoming permanent
No Cadence
Momentum dies after initial excitement
The Pilot Autopsy diagnoses exactly which gaps are blocking you—and gives you a clear path to fix them.

The 4-Pillar Assessment
Most organisations score poorly on 3+ pillars.
That's why pilots never reach production.
Ownership & Authority
Most score poorlyDo you have a named exec who can fund and deliver—without escalating to the board?
Guardrails & Governance
Common gapCan teams move fast within clear boundaries, or does risk block everything?
Workflow Readiness
Common gapAre processes mapped and measurable, or are use cases still abstract ideas?
Metrics & Cadence
Most score poorlyCan you track progress and deliver iteratively, or do pilots stall indefinitely?

Is This Right For You?
Right fit / Not a fit
The Pilot Autopsy is for you if:
- You're at Level 1 on the AI Maturity Spectrum — experimenting, but nothing in operational workflows yet
- You're running multiple AI pilots but nothing is reaching production
- You suspect there are gaps in ownership, governance, or metrics—but you're not sure which
- You want to diagnose readiness before committing to a full program
- You need a clear, board-ready assessment of where you stand
- Your leadership team is willing to engage for interviews and workflow mapping
This is not for you if:
- You're still brainstorming use cases (you need strategy consulting, not diagnosis)
- You already know exactly what's broken and just need help fixing it (go straight to the program)
- Your execs can't commit to interviews and a 2-hour workflow session
- You're looking for technical implementation (we don't build systems)
After The Autopsy
Three clear paths forward
At the end of the Pilot Autopsy, you'll have clarity on exactly what needs to happen next.
Fund and Execute
If your readiness scores Green or Amber, you may be ready to move straight to execution with your internal team. We'll give you the roadmap.
Decision Discipline Program™
If there are critical gaps (Red scores), the next step is the full Decision Discipline Program to fix the operating model.
Park and Redesign
If the assessment reveals fundamental structural issues, we'll recommend pausing AI initiatives until those blockers are addressed.
