Routes to outcome

From a question to a measured result.

Every ETT engagement is a step on one route: find where AI would pay back, decide what to build, prove it on your own process, take it live, and run it with evidence. Each step says how long it takes, what you leave with, and what it decides. Start at the step that matches what you already know.

The route

Every step ends in a decision, including the decision to stop.

You keep what each step produces, whatever you decide next. Nothing commits you to the following step.

Step 1 · Find · 90 minutes

AI Executive Briefing

Where would AI actually pay back in our operation?

A working session for your leadership team: a reality check, the scoring method, and a live map of your own operation.

You leave with

  • A one-page opportunity map within 48 hours
  • Two or three candidate processes
  • An honest next step, including "nothing yet"

Who is involved

Six to ten executives, with a 15-minute sponsor call beforehand

See what it involves

Decision at the endIs there anything worth pursuing, and which route fits it?

Step 2 · Find · One day, plus pre-work

Executive Value Day

Which AI investments will our operations own, and pay back inside nine months?

One working day, with pre-work, that turns ambition into opportunity charters owned by the executives accountable for the work.

You leave with

  • An enterprise value map
  • One-page opportunity charters
  • A ranked investment shortlist and decisions log

Who is involved

Eight to twelve executives, led by a CEO or COO sponsor

See what it involves

Decision at the endWhich charters go forward, and who owns each one?

Step 3 · Decide · Four or six weeks

Business Process Workshop

What is this process really costing us, and what should we automate, fix or leave alone?

A fixed-scope workshop that maps the processes, sets the baseline and ranks what to automate, fix or leave alone. No system access needed.

You leave with

  • Process maps and a heat map
  • A baseline and benefits workbook
  • A prioritized roadmap and executive report

Who is involved

A sponsor, and about an hour each with the people who run the processes

See what it involves

Decision at the endBuild, fix, or stop.

Step 3 · Decide · About 12 weeks

Process Mining and Discovery

How do our core processes really run, measured from the systems themselves?

The same decision as the workshop, made from system event data and desktop capture, on the UiPath platform the build will run on.

You leave with

  • Mined process flows and variants
  • An error and rework baseline
  • A ranked roadmap and a platform ready to build on

Who is involved

Read-only access to the systems in scope, plus process owners and nominated users

See what it involves

Decision at the endWhich processes to build first, on evidence.

Step 4 · Prove · Three to four weeks

Proof of Value

Does it work on our process, against measures our finance team set first?

One priority process built on your systems and judged against success criteria signed before the build.

You leave with

  • A working build
  • A results workbook and an Evidence File
  • A go or no-go record and a production plan

Who is involved

A process owner, a finance signatory and integration access

See what it involves

Decision at the endGo, go with conditions, or no-go.

Step 5 · Build · Scoped from the proof of value, then four weeks of hypercare

Pilot build

Can we take it live and show a measured return?

The proven process built into production on UiPath, with robots, AI agents and people as one governed process, then a hypercare period.

You leave with

  • A live process with exception paths and runbooks
  • Returns measured at 30 days, 90 days and month nine

Who is involved

System owners, a named process owner and change windows

See what it involves

Decision at the endScale it, or stop if a checkpoint misses. If it cannot pay back inside nine months, it should not be built.

Step 6 · Run · Monthly

Agentic Managed Services

Who runs it on a Monday morning, and can we show what it did?

Monitoring, break-fix, drift checks and change control for your robots and agents, with a monthly evidence report.

You leave with

  • A monthly evidence report
  • A quarterly improvement backlog

Who is involved

A named owner on your side for each process

See what it involves

Decision at the endWhat to improve, extend or retire next.

FAQs

Before you choose a route

Do we have to start at the beginning?

No. Start at the route that matches what you already know. If you have a priority process and a baseline, start with a proof of value. If you have a long list of ideas and no order, start with a briefing or a Value Day. What we will not skip is the baseline, because without it nobody can say whether the work paid back.

Why don't you publish prices?

Because a price read before the outcome is understood tends to end the conversation in the wrong place. Each route has its scope, duration, deliverables and fee agreed in writing before any work starts, and the scope is set by the outcome you want rather than a package. The briefing and the Value Day are offered at no charge.

Can we stop after any route?

Yes. Every route ends in a decision, and stopping is one of the options. You keep what that route produced: the map, the charters, the baseline, the Evidence File.

Where does governance come in?

From the first conversation. AI Governance and Assurance and Analect run alongside the path rather than at the end of it, so the record exists before anyone asks for it.

What does a full route look like in time?

The Value Day is designed around this timeline: the Value Day in month zero, a Business Process Workshop in months one and two, a proof of value in month three, build and go-live in months four to six, and returns measured in months seven to nine.
