AI Strategy & Enablement
Know exactly what to automate first
You have a list of ideas for what AI could fix in your business, but no order to work through them in. We map your processes, score each one, and hand you a sequenced plan with real timelines and costs attached.

The direct answer
An automation roadmap is a sequenced plan that tells you which processes to automate first, in what order, and roughly what each will cost. We walk your operations, score every candidate process on effort and payoff, and rule out the ones that are not worth automating yet. It suits any leadership team that knows AI could help but has no shared list of where to start.
What this removes.
Too many ideas, no order
Today
Every department has a wish list for automation, but nobody agrees on what to do first.
With the system
One scored list ranks every candidate by effort and payoff, so the first move is obvious.
No sense of real cost
Today
Leadership approves automation projects on gut feel, then the invoice is three times the guess.
With the system
Each roadmap item carries a rough cost band and timeline before anyone commits budget.
Vendors pitch, nobody assesses
Today
Software vendors keep pitching point solutions that don't connect to each other or your systems.
With the system
You have an independent view of what to build, what to buy, and what to skip entirely.
Quick wins get buried
Today
The one process that would save real hours each week sits behind three bigger, harder projects.
With the system
Quick wins are flagged separately so your team can bank a result in weeks, not quarters.
What lands in your hands.
Process inventory
A documented list of candidate processes across the departments you name.
Scoring matrix
Each process scored on effort, payoff, data readiness and risk.
Build vs buy calls
A recommendation on custom build versus an existing tool for each item.
Sequenced roadmap
An ordered plan with rough cost bands and realistic timelines.
Quick-win shortlist
The two or three items you could start on immediately.
PDPL risk notes
Data handling flags on any process touching personal or sensitive data.

Five stages. You sign off every one.
Read each stage as a small contract: what we need from you, what lands in your hands, and the sentence that has to be true before we move on.
- Scoping and process list2 to 3 days
- Process discovery workshops1 week
- Scoring and prioritization3 to 5 days
- Roadmap and cost bands3 to 5 days
- Handover and quarterly check-inongoing
Scoping and process list
2 to 3 days
We agree which departments and processes are in scope, so the workshops don't drift into everything at once.
- Name the departments to cover
- Nominate one person per department for workshops
- A written scope of processes in the roadmap
- A workshop schedule
We move on when we agree on which processes are in and out of scope before workshops start.
Process discovery workshops
1 week
We run short workshops with each nominated owner to document how the process actually runs today, not how it's supposed to run.
- Attend a 45 to 60 minute workshop per process
- Share sample documents or screen recordings
- A process map for each candidate
- Notes on current pain points and data sources
We move on when every candidate process has a documented current-state map signed off by its owner.
Scoring and prioritization
3 to 5 days
We score every process on effort, payoff, data readiness and risk, then rank the list.
- Review the draft scores
- Flag any business context we might have missed
- A scored, ranked list of all candidate processes
- A short rationale behind each score
We move on when you agree the scoring reflects your business priorities, not just ours.
Roadmap and cost bands
3 to 5 days
We turn the ranked list into a sequenced roadmap with rough cost bands, timelines, and build-versus-buy calls.
- Confirm rough budget appetite per phase
- Sign off the final sequencing
- The finished roadmap document
- A presentation for your leadership team
We move on when the roadmap is presented and signed off as the plan to work from.
Handover and quarterly check-in
ongoing
You own the roadmap and start executing. We stay available to re-score items as your business or data changes.
- Kick off the first quick-win item
- Flag any major shift in priorities or systems
- A quarterly re-score if requested
- Availability for follow-up scoping on new processes
We move on when this is the standing state. We stay reachable to keep the roadmap current.
Asked before signing.
How do you price an automation roadmap?
Price depends on how many processes and departments are in scope. A single-department roadmap with five or six processes is a smaller engagement than a company-wide one covering twenty. We give a fixed price after the scoping stage, once we know how many workshops the discovery phase needs.
Do you run the workshops in Arabic?
Yes. We run discovery workshops in Arabic or English depending on who's in the room, and the final roadmap document ships bilingual if your leadership team needs it that way. Most of our clients mix both languages inside the same workshop and that's fine.
Is this just a slide deck, or something we can actually act on?
The output is a working document, not a slide deck for a shelf. Every item has a rough cost band, a timeline, and a clear next step. If you want us to build the first item ourselves, that's a separate engagement, but the roadmap is written so your team or another vendor could pick it up too.
What about processes that touch personal or customer data?
Any process we map that touches personal or sensitive data gets a PDPL risk flag in the roadmap, noting what data is involved and what needs attention before automating it. We don't move or store your data during this engagement, we're mapping and scoring, not building yet.
