Pillar 03 · Flagship Engagement
A defensible AI roadmap you can act on with any partner.
Our flagship. Over four to six weeks we map one or two named processes, rank the opportunities honestly, make the build-versus-buy calls, and hand you a sequenced twelve-month roadmap. The deliverable is a decision, not a sales pitch, and you execute with whoever you choose.
Duration
4 to 6 weeks
Scope
1 to 2 named processes
Deliverable
12-month roadmap
Boundary
Consultation only
The boundary
We design the roadmap. You choose who executes it.
MagicWorks AI Consultation is consultation only. We advise, audit, and design the roadmap. We do not build, deploy, or operate AI on the client's behalf. That boundary is not a limitation; it is the differentiator. A consultant who also builds has an incentive to recommend building. We do not.
You execute with
- Your own team
- An external build vendor
- MagicFlow AI (our SaaS product, separate contract)
- Magic Pipeline (our SaaS product, separate contract)
What you walk away with.
A defensible map of where AI can and cannot help the named processes
Honest opportunity ranking, no inflated projections
Build-versus-buy decisions with the reasoning made explicit
Vendor recommendations where relevant
A sequenced 12-month roadmap you can act on with any partner
How the audit runs.
Discovery interviews
We talk to the people who actually run the process, not just leadership. What works, what breaks, where the friction is.
Process mapping
We map the process as it is today (not the idealised version) against AI capability as it exists today.
Opportunity ranking
We rank the opportunities honestly: effort, risk, cost, and genuine potential. Some things AI cannot help with yet; we say so.
Roadmap workshop
We present our findings, make the build-versus-buy calls, and agree the sequenced twelve-month roadmap together.
Priority verticals
Manufacturing
- RFQ-to-quote
- Proposal generation
- Quality inspection reporting
- Supplier communication
- Production scheduling inputs
Professional Services
- Document drafting and review
- Client intake and conflict checks
- Knowledge discovery
- Proposal and pricing generation
- Compliance and regulatory tracking
These are example processes. Any audit scopes the named processes at the start based on where you believe the opportunity is.
Common questions
What is an AI process audit?
An AI process audit is a structured four-to-six-week engagement in which an advisor maps one or two named business processes against current AI capability, ranks the opportunities honestly, makes the build-versus-buy calls, and delivers a sequenced twelve-month roadmap the client can act on with any partner.
What processes do you audit?
One or two named processes per engagement. In manufacturing, common ones are RFQ-to-quote, proposal generation, and quality inspection reporting. In professional services, document drafting and review, client intake, and knowledge discovery.
Do you build what you recommend?
No. AI Consultation at MagicWorks is consultation only. The roadmap is the deliverable; execution is your team, an external vendor, or one of our sibling products under a separate engagement.
What do we walk away with?
A sequenced twelve-month roadmap and clear build-versus-buy decisions, written to be acted on with any partner, not just us.
Does this follow a workshop, or can it stand alone?
It can stand alone when leadership already has alignment. It frequently follows the AI Literacy Workshop when teams need shared vocabulary before committing to an audit.
