Industry Sprint — Professional Services & Consulting
Professional services firms live and die on utilization rates, but most track it in spreadsheets updated weekly by managers who are already overloaded. This sprint deploys AI that monitors project health in real-time, predicts capacity gaps before they happen, and identifies expansion opportunities inside active engagements, turning project delivery into a revenue engine.

How it works
Strategy call (30 min)
We review your diagnostic results, assess your current systems, and determine if this sprint is the right fit. No pitch deck. If we are not the right solution, we will tell you.
Scope document (48 hrs)
You receive a written scope with: specific deliverables mapped to your situation, realistic timeline, success metrics we will be measured against, and exact investment. Nothing starts until you approve the scope.
Sprint execution
We build and deploy the system in your environment. You get daily async updates and weekly check-in calls. Every deliverable is tested against the success metrics defined in the scope document.
Handoff and documentation
You own everything we build. Full documentation, runbooks, and a recorded walkthrough. We do not create vendor lock-in. Your team can maintain and extend the system independently.
