embedded AI proof sprint for software teams

Pinpoint the highest impact area for AI and build a working example—all in two weeks.

Most AI initiatives stall between executive ambition and what teams can ship. The gap between how you work and how you could work widens every month. The AI Proof Sprint embeds two Test Double double agents inside one team for two weeks to replace assumptions with evidence, at a $25,000 fixed rate.

What's included:

Baseline and opportunity map: AI capability read, prioritized list, and a "not now" list
Live proof: one top opportunity solved with AI
Curated workflows: skills, agent patterns, and automations that clicked, documented for reuse
90-day path to capability: measurable targets, pilot checkpoints, and visibility mechanisms to compound early wins

You get senior consultants who start with business problems and technology, not trainers running exercises. We build with your team on their real work so they own the skill, not just the artifact.

ADVANCE AI TRACTION SPRINT FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERING TEAMS

Build quality software faster, with AI approaches that work for your team.

A few engineers are doing remarkable things with AI. Most treat it like autocomplete. Some aren't touching it. The gap between your best AI users and everyone else is widening. The usual signals—seat counts, survey scores, anecdotes—don't tell you why or what to do about it. The AI Traction Sprint embeds two Test Double double agents with one team for two weeks to measure the gap and start closing it on live work, at a $25,000 fixed rate.

What's included:

Capability baseline: where each engineer lands on our AI fluency rubric, scored through real interaction rather than self-report
Opportunity map: prioritized list of where AI would move the needle, plus a "not now" list
Live proof: one high-impact opportunity worked alongside your team, so the gap closes on real code
90-day path to capability: measurable targets tied to the rubric, checkpoints, and visibility mechanisms that compound gains

Stop guessing whether AI is making your team better.

Developers

Quality you can’t generate: AI is only as good as your constraints

AI changed the cost structure of software. It didn't change the value structure. The value is no longer the code you write. It's the taste, judgment, and constraints you encode into the system that shapes what AI produces.

Anyone can code: Software Is having its Ratatouille moment

Gusteau said it best: "anyone can cook", and now, "anyone can code." LLMs and agentic coding are the Remy to our Linguini. Our job isn't to guard the kitchen—it's to help others cook something worth serving.
