01 Getting started does not have to be a large AI project
You do not have to swap out your IT landscape or launch a transformation programme that runs for months.
02 What is realistic in four weeks
One workflow that takes over a recurring process and runs in production — not half the back office. Four weeks is a target, not a commitment.
03 Week 1: pin the process down
We watch the process at work once and write down what comes in, who touches it and where it gets stuck.
04 Week 1: collect real documents
We need real cases, not sample documents — samples do not teach you the edge case. Our rule of thumb: about twenty.
05 Week 2: build the workflow
The workflow is built step by step: trigger, processing, approval, filing.
06 Week 2: set the point of approval
We define where a person confirms before anything is posted, sent or filed.
07 Week 3: test on real cases
The workflow runs on the same cases as today and is checked alongside them, not instead of them.
08 Week 3: sharpen it
Whatever the workflow files wrongly is corrected — this step is the difference between a demo and production.
09 Week 4: go live
The workflow takes over the process, approval stays with a person, and we keep watching afterwards.
10 What we need from you
Time with the person who runs the process today, access to the systems involved, and real example documents.
11 Where it usually slows down
Access that is not set up yet, and edge cases someone only mentions during testing.
12 How we measure success
Before the start we record how many hours the process binds today — without that baseline nothing afterwards can be evidenced.
13 How you book it
The first workflow cannot be booked on its own; it belongs to the company analysis with a first workflow at CHF 4'900 · 5,200 €, and which workflow gets built follows from the analysis.
14 What comes next
Either the next use case from the implementation plan, or ongoing support for the workflow that now runs.
What would take four weeks in your company hangs on one process. Name it.
