10 Business Day Sprint
AI Prototype-to-Production Sprints
In 10 business days, turn one high-value process into a working AI prototype with architecture, demo narrative, and production roadmap.
01
Focused architecture lane
MCP
Tool and cloud integration aware
Field
Built for reusable execution
Operating Brief
A sprint format for teams that need a real prototype, not a disconnected demo that cannot survive contact with production.
Each section is written as a practical build surface: what changes, what the system needs, and what a team should leave with.
Why Demos Fail
Most AI demos fail because the prototype is not connected to the real workflow, data constraints, approval path, or deployment model.
- No owner
- No evals
- No security path
- No cost model
- No executive narrative
What a Real Prototype Needs
A working prototype should make tradeoffs visible. The demo must explain what is proven, what remains unknown, and what production would require.
- Workflow map
- Tool design
- Agent architecture
- MCP plan
- Cloud deployment path
Sprint Deliverables
The sprint produces a focused set of artifacts that help the team decide whether to invest, iterate, or stop.
- Use case decision
- Cost model
- Risk register
- Executive demo script
- 90-day roadmap
Example Sprint Themes
Good sprint candidates are narrow, high-value, data-accessible, and easy to explain to a decision maker.
- Sales intelligence
- Document operations
- Support triage
- Cloud cost analysis
- Research workflow
- Field demo factory
System Map
The architecture is explicit.
The goal is not more AI language. The goal is a named path from signal to system, with enough structure for builders and executives to make decisions.
Day 1-2
L1Decision, workflow map, success criteria, and data/tool access plan.
Day 3-5
L2Prototype build, agent/tool integration, prompt and workflow iteration.
Day 6-7
L3Evaluation, risk review, cost model, and security notes.
Day 8-9
L4Demo narrative, architecture diagram, and production roadmap.
Day 10
L5Executive walkthrough and decision package.
Next Move
Request a prototype sprint
Bring one real use case, workflow, or workload question. The work starts by making the system concrete.
