10-day AI sprint

Every company will use AI.
Few will use it right.
We'll show you how.

Most companies invest in AI without knowing where it will actually move the numbers. We find that out — fast. One sprint, one clear answer, one board-ready plan.

The 10-day sprint

A clear methodology. A concrete output. In 10 days.

We do not run workshops for the sake of running workshops. Every step of the sprint is designed to produce one thing: a board-ready AI Value Map that tells you exactly where to invest, what it will return, and in what order to move.

01
Diagnose
Map your critical processes
We use a proven methodology — the Reload framework — to identify the four mission-critical process chains in your business. Not all processes. The specific ones that, when automated by AI in the right order, create returns that compound rather than add.
02
Prioritise
Find where AI moves the numbers
Most AI projects fail because they automate the wrong things. We score every process against four criteria — value creation, delivery, capture, and compliance — and identify the chain that will generate the highest return for your specific business.
03
Model
Build the financial case
Every recommendation comes with a financial model: what it costs, what it returns, over what timeline, and what the compounding effect looks like over three years. No guesswork. Numbers you can put in front of a board.
04
Deliver
Your AI Value Map
The output is a board-ready document with a 90-day implementation roadmap, owners, metrics, and the full financial model. Not a strategy deck. A decision document — specific to your company, defensible in any room, actionable the next day.

The intelligence

The Arc is not a tool.
It is your AI analyst — live in every session.

The Arc reads your company before Day 1. It holds everything — your strategy documents, your financial data, your process maps — and answers questions live in every workshop. When your CFO asks what happens to the ROI if you automate procurement first, The Arc answers in seconds. With your numbers.

Gets smarter with every document you share
Every file you upload — decks, reports, financial models, transcripts — makes The Arc sharper. It cites sources in every answer so you always know where the insight came from.
Proprietary to Yah&co
The Arc is not a chatbot. It is built on a proprietary methodology — the Reload framework — and trained to ask the questions that reveal where AI will actually move the numbers in your specific business.

The methodology

Most AI projects fail because they automate the wrong things.

Every large company has hundreds of processes. Most AI projects pick them at random — chasing quick wins that never compound. The ones that actually change the business focus on a very specific set: the four mission-critical processes that, when connected by AI in the right order, create value that multiplies rather than adds.

The four missions — click to explore

Mission 1Create Value

Every business creates value in a specific way. The AI processes that power value creation are your most important MCPs. When automated in chain, they allow your business to move from guesswork to data-driven decisions at a speed no human team can match.

ManufacturingQuality control, yield optimisation, predictive maintenance in sequence
Financial servicesRisk modelling, credit decisioning, fraud detection in a connected chain
Mission 2Deliver Value

Getting value to the customer is where AI creates the most visible competitive advantage. When your delivery processes are automated in chain, information flows from demand signal to fulfilment without human delay.

LogisticsDemand sensing, route optimisation, last-mile AI connected end-to-end
HealthcarePatient pathway, appointment scheduling, clinical admin — one AI flow
Mission 3Capture Value

Making money and keeping customers is where AI's contextual gain is highest. Personalised pricing, dynamic offers, retention prediction — when these processes are connected by AI, each customer interaction feeds the next one.

RetailPersonalised storefront, dynamic pricing, targeted retention — one AI loop
Financial servicesCross-sell prediction, churn signals, proactive outreach — AI in chain
Mission 4Compliance

In regulated industries, compliance is the licence to operate. When compliance processes are automated by AI and kept deliberately separate from other missions, they become a competitive moat rather than a cost centre.

Financial servicesAML monitoring, KYC automation, regulatory reporting in real time
MiningSafety compliance, environmental monitoring, incident reporting — AI-automated
