Methodology
Every engagement moves through the same lifecycle, whatever its size: understand the business first, design with evidence, build with gates, then keep measuring. The instruments are named because they’re real, and they show up in your deliverables.
Map how the business actually runs: signal scan, structured intake, interviews, process atlas. Ends in the Opportunity Register™ and a costed roadmap.
Turn the register into build specs: route each process to agent or skill, design the governance and evaluation gates alongside, cost bottom-up.
Build in value-gated waves. A small first wave proves the biggest prize before the larger build is funded. Nothing ships without clearing its gate.
Run, govern, measure, improve. Managed agents and skills kept accurate, the governance cockpit kept current, value tracked in the open.
Three moves for you, one system underneath: run the Discovery, review the roadmap with us, then engage your Chief AI Officer. From there the roadmap lives in the governance cockpit and project plan, Design & Build runs under it, finished agents flow into your managed-agents workspace, and all of it is one login in the Orange AI portal.
Scorecard, call, Activation or the full Discovery & Roadmap. You own the output.
Walk the register and the envelope with us; pick the first wave worth proving.
Discovery flows into the governance cockpit and project plan. Build runs under it, governed.
Agents land in their workspace, skills on every desk, value tracked in the open.
The four phases describe what happens. They do not, on their own, say who runs them or in what order, and both answers here are unusual enough to be worth stating plainly. The same person diagnoses the problem and builds the solution, so nothing is lost in a handover between the advice and the delivery. And the phases run as overlapping streams rather than in strict sequence: you can be walked through how the work actually happens on the Tuesday and looking at a working prototype of it later that week.
That model has a name, and it did not start here. The forward-deployed engineer, defined →
