4–6 weeks Fixed scope CFO-ready output

Most organisations have several hotspots. We find the one worth doing first.

Each has a different cost, a different fix, and a different payback. The engagement maps them, quantifies them, and decides which to tackle first.

What the engagement produces

Five deliverables. One foundation.

01

A ranked hotspot map

Every place in the business where conversations are being transposed into operations — by hand, by half-built tech, or by failed AI projects. Categorised by type, scored by annual cost, ranked by ROI.

02

A real cost figure

Measured, defensible. Payroll, vendor spend, failure work, lost revenue. The kind of number the CFO can put in a board pack.

03

A data salvage plan

Years of conversational data — call recordings, ticket logs, email archives, outputs of failed AI projects. We separate gold from noise. Past sunk cost becomes the foundation of the new function.

04

A sequenced rollout plan

Which hotspot first, why, what the deployment looks like, what ROI to expect by when. Phased: shadow → assist → auto. Secondary hotspots categorised and queued.

05

Real timelines for ROI

Calibrated against your actual data and volume.

Why it matters

Without this work, the Managed Service is guesswork.

With it, every pound is pointed at the highest-ROI hotspot — and you have the cost baseline to measure against.

Engagement filter
We work with organisations that have significant conversational volume across customer-facing channels — where the work of handling those conversations is material enough that running it as a managed function meaningfully changes the operating cost base.
