AI workflow assessment · Alexander Fuerst
Find the right workflow to automate first.
Before you connect another AI tool, understand the work it needs to do. We examine one recurring workflow and turn a promising idea into a practical decision about what to build, what to keep human and what to leave alone.
A focused, paid engagement. Fee and schedule agreed before work begins.
01 / Is this the right starting point?
A specific problem. A clear purpose.
For teams copying information between tools, manually processing repeated inputs or considering an AI integration without a clear starting point. You need access to the people who do the work; you do not need a technical specification.
02 / The handover
What your team can work with.
A map of the current workflow
Triggers, inputs, tools, handoffs and exceptions for one agreed process, including where people currently check or correct the work.
A comparison of useful options
Conventional rules, API integrations and AI are considered against the same task. The recommendation explains where AI adds value, where it creates uncertainty and where a person should remain involved.
A feasibility and assumptions brief
Required data and access, integration constraints, operating considerations and unresolved questions. Any effort or value estimates identify their assumptions rather than promising savings.
A first implementation and validation plan
A small proposed scope, example inputs and acceptance criteria that make the result testable before a larger commitment. Your team can use the brief to evaluate implementation options.
03 / Getting started
You know the task. We define the scope.
A short description is enough for the first conversation. For the engagement itself, we will need:
- A walkthrough with someone who regularly performs the task.
- The tools involved and a few representative examples, redacted where needed.
- The outcome you want, important exceptions and access or data constraints.
04 / Experience from real projects
The work behind the recommendations.
AI-supported survey analysis and a personal multi-agent development tool. Concrete examples of turning information and repeated steps into usable software.

A manageable first step.
What does it cost, and when can we start?
This is a focused, paid engagement. After an initial conversation, we agree the scope, handover format, schedule and fee before work begins.
Do we need to commission the implementation too?
No. The handover is intended to help your team make its next decision. You can continue internally, involve another partner or agree a separate implementation step with me.
What if we are not sure about the scope?
Send a few lines about the flow or problem. We first establish whether this engagement is a useful fit. Larger projects can be discussed through the broader service.
The next step
Which flow should we look at?
A link or a few sentences is enough. You will speak directly with me; we establish the goal and scope before you commission the work.
