ApproachFrom one expensive process to a measurable pilot
We do not start with technology. We identify one process, establish its baseline and test the impact through a focused paid pilot.
Project route
Six stages, with a decision after each
0130 minutes · map within 1 business day Diagnostic
30 minutes · map within 1 business day
- What we need from the client
- A short description of the process and desired outcome.
- What AICONIC does
- We form three applicable scenarios and a preliminary estimate.
- Artifact
- A one-page opportunity map.
- Decision gate
- One measurable and realistic process has been found.
Baseline metric
2—5 business days
- What we need from the client
- A process owner and access to the necessary data.
- What AICONIC does
- We measure speed, cost, errors or conversion.
- Artifact
- A baseline and pilot success criterion.
- Decision gate
- The metric is reproducible and confirmed.
- What we need from the client
- A data sample and test access.
- What AICONIC does
- We build one scenario, one primary integration and human control.
- Artifact
- A working pilot and action log.
- Decision gate
- The outcome can be compared with the baseline.
042—5 business days at the end of the pilot Outcome validation
2—5 business days at the end of the pilot
- What we need from the client
- The process owner validates outcomes and edge cases.
- What AICONIC does
- We calculate the impact, limitations and one agreed adjustment.
- Artifact
- A scorecard and recommendation.
- Decision gate
- Launch / change / stop.
05Usually within 6—8 weeks of kickoff Production launch
Usually within 6—8 weeks of kickoff
- What we need from the client
- Approval of security and production access.
- What AICONIC does
- We harden integrations, monitoring and documentation.
- Artifact
- A working system, runbook and handover.
- Decision gate
- Acceptance, security and stable operation.
06After the impact is confirmed
Scaling
After the impact is confirmed
- What we need from the client
- The priority and owner for the next process.
- What AICONIC does
- We expand the solution under a separate plan.
- Artifact
- A roadmap for the next scenario.
- Decision gate
- Every new scenario has its own baseline and success criterion.

How data turns into an outcome
AICONIC process visualization · no client data
This chain uses approved metrics from the published British American Tobacco case.

15,000+ sources → automated collection and classification → analyst review → database update in under 24 hours → 14 → 2 people in the process
Client control
The system remains governable
Data
Storage, deletion and permitted-use rules are agreed before work starts.
Access
Roles, keys and production access remain under the client's control.
Code
We hand over code, documentation and the runbook within the agreed scope.
Infrastructure
The client can see hosting, integrations and the models in use.
Stop control
Logs and metrics let the client inspect or stop the system.
An honest gateWhen we recommend stopping
A pilot is not a commitment to continue. It is a way to make an informed decision.
- A reproducible baseline cannot be established.
- There is not enough data, or it cannot be accessed safely.
- Conventional automation would be cheaper and more reliable than AI.
- Integration cost exceeds the expected impact.
- The process has no owner on the client side.
- The pilot misses the agreed criterion after the planned adjustment.
