AI Decision Sprint

Decision Sprint. One problem. A clear way forward.

Decide what to fix first — and whether to keep, buy or build — with costs, risks and a practical implementation plan.

For businesses in the United States & United Kingdom · Remote collaboration

Fixed price, excluding taxes: $2,500
Business days after access: 5–7 days
Focused scope: One problem
Build with any team: Your choice

When it fits

A costly problem. Several possible fixes.

Before committing

You are about to buy an AI tool or commission software, but the decision is not clear.

Quotes that do not compare

Different vendors propose different solutions without a common baseline.

Experiments that did not stick

The team has tried AI tools but the everyday workflow has barely changed.

Already have a clear brief? A Sprint is optional; scoping is included in a build quote.

Go straight to Build

Deliverables

A document any team can execute.

Current-state map

The process, people, tools and information involved.

Options compared

Keep, buy or build: cost, effort, risk and reversibility.

Recommendation

The first useful step, what can wait and the reasons behind the choice.

Budget range

Implementation and recurring costs, with assumptions made explicit.

Implementation plan

Steps, owners, dependencies and a proposed sequence.

Decision readout

A working session with your decision-makers and the written document.

Illustrative deliverable

A decision sheet, made concrete.

Fictional intake and onboarding scenario. Relative costs show the comparison; they are not a quote.

Option	Approach	Cost	Key question
Keep and adjust	One intake form and a shared checklist	$	Can the existing CRM support it?
Buy	Onboarding software connected to the CRM	$$ recurring	Does the tool handle your exceptions?
Build	A specific workflow around the CRM	$$$ + maintenance	Who owns it after launch?

A possible next step: test a simpler intake process before commissioning a pilot. Measure time from request to kickoff.

Use the five-case acceptance checklist

Timeline

Five to seven business days, after access.

Kickoff

Agree the problem and receive the required information and access.

Days 1–3

Up to three interviews, process mapping and a review of tools and data.

Days 3–5

Compare options, costs, risks and dependencies.

Days 5–7

Readout with decision-makers and the final decision document.

Before kickoff

Bring enough evidence to make the decision.

One workflow and its owner

Describe where it starts and ends, the people involved and the decision you need to make. Keep the question narrow enough for one Sprint.

Examples and constraints

Prepare authorized, minimized examples, a list of current tools and known limits on access, budget and timing. Agree a secure way to share any necessary material.

A baseline and a decision-maker

Bring observed volumes, time or rework when available. Identify who can approve a change and who will maintain it.

Prepare with the AI readiness checklist

Scope

A focused decision, not a company-wide audit.

Included

One priority problem and a clear decision package.

Up to three interviews
Options, budget range and implementation plan
Written document and readout

Outside this scope

A different engagement is needed for broader or specialist work.

Company-wide audit
Security or compliance certification
Production software

$2,500 fixed, USD excluding taxes, paid in full before kickoff. The Sprint is not automatically credited against a later build.

FAQ

Before we start.

Is this a company-wide AI readiness assessment?

No. The Sprint examines the people, process, information and tools around one priority problem. A broader audit, security assessment or compliance certification requires a different scope.

When does the five-to-seven-day period start?

The target starts after kickoff and receipt of the agreed information and access. Missing dependencies or unavailable decision-makers can change the schedule.

What if the best answer is not to build?

The recommendation can be to keep or configure existing tools, simplify the process or postpone investment. The deliverable is a reasoned decision, not a commitment to commission software.

Is the Sprint deducted from a later build?

No automatic credit applies. The Sprint is $2,500 excluding applicable taxes, paid before kickoff. Any later implementation has its own written scope and price.

After the decision

Choose what happens next.

Compare the broader consulting options

Use a bounded Sprint for one decision, or discuss recurring advice when the questions span several months.

Plan implementation

Give the written recommendation to your team or discuss a scoped pilot with Klicky. A build requires its own agreement.
