A fixed-scope sprint that gives your leadership team the AI roadmap, reference architecture, and buy-versus-build call on each layer. Built for the buyer who needs a senior operator for a defined window, not a full-time hire or an open-ended consulting retainer.
Anthropic, Zendesk, Genesys, Wolters Kluwer, Hamilton Lane, Decagon, Samsung. The job titles vary, but the shape is the same: a senior operator who can map where AI fits, design the architecture, and call buy-versus-build on each layer.
Buyers post these as full-time hires because the title hasn't standardized yet. What they actually need is a 4-to-6 week sprint with a named senior operator, then either an internal hire or a build team that can ship the work. We built the AI Adoption Sprint for exactly that gap.
Every sprint ships the same shape. Scope can flex, the deliverables don't.
Where AI fits in your operating model. Prioritized by ROI and risk. 90-day, 180-day, and 12-month phases. The doc your leadership team uses to argue about scope, not whether to start.
The system diagram for the highest-priority use case. Data layer, model layer, orchestration, governance, FinOps guardrails. Wired to your existing stack, not a greenfield fantasy.
Layer by layer, with a named recommendation. Vendor shortlists for buy. Hiring profiles for build. The call you'd otherwise pay a Big Four firm $200k to make in six months.
Stakeholder interviews, system audit, data inventory. What's already live, what's stuck, what's missing.
Use case scoring against ROI, data readiness, and risk. Three to five candidates ranked. One picked for the architecture.
Reference architecture for the top use case. Model selection, orchestration, governance, FinOps. Drafts shared mid-week for feedback.
Buy-vs-build call per layer. Final readout with leadership. Implementation path with named hiring profiles or vendor shortlists.
Sprints with multi-product scope, regulated-industry constraints, or deeper architecture work scope to 6 weeks. Same deliverable structure.
Fixed scope, fixed fee, fixed timeline. No hourly surprises.
Sprints often roll into a build engagement with IG AI Solutions. The sprint fee is credited toward the first 90 days of build if you continue with us.
No single advisor owns every sprint. We match the operator to the problem. AI infrastructure questions route to David. Marketing-AI questions route to Sean. Strategy or scale questions route to Norm. Revenue motion goes to Michael. Cross-functional engagements get Chris in the lead.
Traditional AI consulting is open-ended and billed by the hour. The AI Adoption Sprint is fixed-scope, fixed-fee, with a named deliverable on a named date. Built for buyers who need a senior operator for a defined window, not a long-running retainer.
Most AI readiness assessments stop at "you're at maturity level 2 of 5." The AI Adoption Sprint ships an actual roadmap, a reference architecture for your top use case, and a buy-vs-build call by layer. You get the diagnostic and the path, not just the score.
Two paths. Some buyers take the roadmap and hire an internal AI lead against the profile we draft. Others route the build to IG AI Solutions, where the same operators who scoped the sprint ship the system. We're set up to do either. The sprint fee credits toward the first 90 days of build if you continue with us.
Job postings for "AI Advisor" sit at $200k+ base. Most companies don't need the role full-time. They need a senior operator for 4 to 6 weeks, then either an internal hire or a build team. The sprint costs less than a single quarter of an FTE and ships a deliverable an FTE would take six months to produce.
CEOs, CTOs, CMOs, and chief product officers at companies between $5M and $500M who know AI is now the operating layer, not a side experiment. Particularly strong fit for B2B SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and regulated industries where a wrong architecture call costs more than a right one.
