Align and obtain access
Define the workflow boundary, intended outcome, participants, evidence sources, and decision the Sprint must support.
Workflow Economics Sprint · fixed $3,000
Start with the evidence
One workflow.
One defensible next move.
A focused engagement to understand how one workflow really operates, determine what the friction is costing, and decide whether further investment is justified.

Who the Sprint is for
A real operational question—not a request for free solution design.
The strongest Sprint opportunities have a repeatable workflow, a meaningful consequence, access to the people doing the work, and a decision-maker who wants evidence before investing.
01
The workflow repeats frequently enough to matter.
02
The friction creates meaningful labor, rework, delay, capacity loss, revenue risk, or trust risk.
03
A workflow owner and the people doing the work can participate.
04
Relevant examples, information, and available data can be reviewed.
05
There is uncertainty about the root cause, economics, or right solution.
06
The company is willing to act if the evidence supports action.
Why diagnosis comes first
The expensive mistake is fixing the visible symptom before understanding the system underneath it.
Most companies do not need another blanket transformation program. They need to know whether one frustrating workflow is important enough to fix and which intervention has the strongest economic case.
The Sprint can responsibly conclude with a process change, an existing tool, automation, a focused build, or a decision to stop.
What happens during the Sprint
Approximately 10 business days from ambiguity to a supported decision.
This is the typical sequence, not an artificial promise that every workflow behaves identically.
Typical days 2–4
Observe and map the real work
Follow recent examples with the people doing the work. Separate the official process from what actually happens.
Typical days 4–7
Measure the economics
Validate time, frequency, rework, delay, capacity, and supported risk without presenting estimates as measured facts.
Typical days 7–9
Isolate and compare
Identify the highest-value constraint and compare process, existing-tool, automation, focused-build, and stop paths.
By approximately day 10
Decide and read out
Deliver the supported GO, REVISE, or STOP recommendation, executive brief, and build-ready blueprint when appropriate.
What you leave with
Decision assets your team can use—with or without a build.
Workflow map
A view of how the work actually moves—from trigger to completed outcome.
Cost and capacity model
The measurable and supported impact of time, rework, delay, trapped capacity, and risk.
Constraint analysis
The point in the workflow where a focused change can create the most value.
Decision recommendation
A supported GO, REVISE, or STOP decision with assumptions and confidence made visible.
Solution blueprint
When action is justified, a build-ready description of users, workflow, requirements, and success measures.
Executive readout
A concise decision brief and live working session for the people responsible for acting on it.
The decision
The Sprint does not exist to justify a build. It exists to justify the next move.
GO
The economics support action.
Advance with a clearly defined intervention, success measure, scope, and decision path.REVISE
The problem is real. The proposed answer needs to change.
Adjust the process, solution, scope, evidence, or implementation path before investing further.STOP
The economics do not justify more spending.
Document the decision and avoid the larger cost of building or buying without a defensible case.The Decision Clarity Promise
Clarity is the first deliverable.
If the Sprint does not produce a supported GO, REVISE, or STOP decision, AIDIS Consulting will complete the additional analysis required at no additional professional fee.
No forced continuation
The Sprint must earn the right to continue.
There is no obligation to hire AIDIS for implementation. If the case holds, AIDIS can design, build, deploy, and measure the solution. If it does not, the work stops before the expensive part.
Frequently asked questions
What decision-makers usually want to know before starting.
Why does the Sprint cost $3,000?
The paid work begins when AIDIS maps the real workflow, validates assumptions, models the economics, and becomes accountable for a decision-ready recommendation. It is designed to prevent the more expensive mistake of buying or building before the problem and requirements are clear.
What access does AIDIS need?
AIDIS typically needs the workflow owner, at least one person who performs the work, recent real examples, and access to relevant operational information. A Sprint without operator access is usually a weak opportunity.
Do you always recommend software?
No. The right answer may be a process change, an existing tool, a simple automation, better documentation, a focused build, or no further investment. AIDIS earns trust by being willing to recommend the smallest responsible answer.
Are we obligated to hire AIDIS for a build?
No. The Sprint is valuable as a standalone decision engagement. If a build is justified, AIDIS can scope and carry the work forward, but the client is not obligated to continue.
Can you quote the build before the Sprint?
AIDIS can discuss broad ranges, but a defensible quote depends on the real workflow, users, integrations, constraints, success measures, and acceptance criteria established through diagnosis.
What happens after GO, REVISE, or STOP?
GO advances to a strictly scoped implementation decision. REVISE changes the approach before more money is committed. STOP closes the investment path and documents why further spending is not justified.
Start with one workflow
What problem is important enough to measure before you invest in fixing it?
A short Workflow Review determines whether the problem appears appropriate for the fixed $3,000 Sprint. It is a fit conversation—not a free diagnosis.
