AI Readiness Sprint

From open questions to a clear AI roadmap.

A fixed-scope sprint for leadership teams that know AI matters and need to decide where to start. Twistag maps the operation, checks the data and returns a shortlist of use cases with a business case and a 90-day plan.

Why a sprint

Most leadership teams have more AI ideas than budget. The sprint decides which ones earn it.

  • 01Pilots that never reached daily use. Proofs of concept that impressed once and then stalled.
  • 02Tools arriving before the problem is clear. Vendors pitching platforms while the business case is still open.
  • 03A board asking for an AI plan with numbers. Leadership needs cost, return and risk on one page.
