Invest in AI based on Research and Evidence

AI Research & Strategy Services

THE VISIBILITY GAP

Trust the research and evidence of ROI before you invest in AI

We help clients answer burning questions such as where AI should go first, whether a vendor’s pitch holds up, or why last year’s pilot never reached production. We help you develop a ranked list of what to do, a business case for each priority, and a sequence you can roll out in your organisation.

Our research is what keeps these investments honest. Every recommendation is tested against your own process and cost data and against what is actually available across vendors, with Mindfields’ published research on enterprise AI and automation behind it.

Hiring a Head of AI doesn’t make an organisation ready for AI, and neither does a licence. Readiness comes from knowing which processes are worth changing and what has to be true before you change them. That is what our research and strategy work tells you.

AI & automation projects

From assessment to roadmap

What does AI Research and Strategy include?

Our experts walk you through every part of your AI and automation journey.

AI Maturity Assessment

A structured online assessment that shows where your organisation sits today and where the biggest gaps are. It only takes a few minutes to get started.

Live Workshops

Working sessions with the people who run your processes and the people who fund them. We map where AI could take out cost, time or risk, and capture what each process costs you now, so every idea starts from a real baseline.

Business Case Development

Every use case is scored on three things: the return, the risk, and how hard it is to put in place. You get a ranked list, a business case for the top priorities, and a clear note on the ones that aren’t worth doing yet.

AI Roadmap

The priorities in the order they should be funded, with what has to be in place before each one, the technology platform options for each and the decisions your leadership team needs to make along the way.

TESTIMONIALS

Our Credential

Every complaint is read, classified and routed so the right person can respond.

NDA contract review

Most NDAs are close to standard, yet each one still waits in a queue for a lawyer to check the clauses that differ.

Provide consistent answers across orders, invoices and payments to each supplier.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Often that is exactly when it helps. A new Head of AI inherits expectations without a baseline. The roadmap gives them an evidence base, a ranked plan and a business case they can take to the executive team as their own.

No. The roadmap is written so any capable team can deliver it. If you want us to build the first priority, that is a separate decision you make once you have seen the plan.

Approximately 4-6 weeks for assessment and report followed by delivery of changes, which depends on approval and current technology in scope.
