Vertical of one — the ninety-minute discovery
The reference model is the Forward Deployed Engineer — experts embedded for eight weeks to find the real problem before anything is built. It works. It also costs two to five million dollars and usually ends in a document with no execution path attached.
DiscoveryX automates that discovery, and then keeps going into build.
▶VideoWatch a session produce its eight artefacts.
Not notes. Eight finished artefacts, each one a thing a decision-maker can act on.
What the business is actually trying to move, stated so a sponsor recognises it.
Every use case plotted on value against feasibility. Quick wins, strategic bets, long game.
Value levers decomposed, with the assumption behind every number marked as an assumption.
Conservative, base and optimistic. Payback period and three-year return.
Before and after, per persona, in their own words and their own hours.
The shape of what gets built — modules, screens, integrations, sequence.
Which agents, what each triggers on, what it consumes, where a human stays in the loop.
The deck that goes to the approval meeting, already written.
A loop, not a lecture. Each turn tightens. Scope is not frozen until you have reviewed every output and said yes.
Pain, gain and the desired outcome, in the client's language.
The engine maps the processes and drafts the agent design.
First generated output, on screen, in the room.
Recalibrate. Client documents and constraints go in.
Contextualised to the ask.
Super-refine with pointed context.
The contextual output the client reviews.
Client signs off X1 through Xn. Scope locked.
Six contexts, written to be read by a sponsor, a CIO and an architect without three different documents.
Sponsor brief, opportunity, top three risks, the decision being asked for.
Personas, pain and gain with a cost against every pain, before-and-after narrative.
Process flows, the agent roster, process-to-agent map, analytics classes in use.
Readiness assessment with blockers, ingestion per source, storage map, governance.
Interface modules, connectors, analytics catalogue, architecture, API surface.
Phased roadmap with effort, stack, key decisions, risks, assumption audit.
A global warehouse automation business. Installation project management across six systems.
The installation manager opens the ERP, waits three minutes, exports to a workbook with eleven tabs, and is not sure whether it was updated Friday or Thursday. Friday's portfolio summary takes ninety minutes.
One tab. Pinned project cards, sixty-seven per cent complete, spend to date, and a sync indicator reading forty-seven minutes. Friday's summary takes fifteen.
Hear, show, tell, make. Nothing is rebuilt between the stages — the discovery output is the input.
Frames the problem, designs the agents, produces the ROI framework.
Renders the finalised outputs as film, persona by persona.
Generates the screens each persona will actually use.
Builds the agents, data products, connectors and governance.
DiscoveryX does not ask you to consolidate onto a single model or a single cloud, and it does not compete with the platforms already licensed. It sits above them and decides what should be built, where, and in what order — which is what protects the investment already made.
A ninety-minute session produces the agent map, the data products behind it, the persona mockups and the ROI framework — for your process, in your language.
