AI Roadmap

Work out where AI can create value in your business.

Make sense of the possibilities in your systems, data, and day-to-day processes. We help you identify useful opportunities and decide what is worth doing first.

You bring the business context. We bring practical experience assessing and building data, automation, and AI systems, then turn the findings into a plan your team can act on.

Discuss your AI roadmap

Where we start

A focused consulting engagement.

After an initial conversation, we scope the review around your business size, systems, and questions. You receive a proposal with the fee, timeline, required inputs, and agreed deliverables before work begins.

A review of the systems, data, and workflows in scope
A ranked shortlist of practical opportunities and their trade-offs
A written roadmap and a walkthrough with your team

The roadmap is yours to use with your own team, an existing supplier, or Citric Sheep. Implementation is a separate decision.

A useful starting point when the next step is unclear.

You hear plenty of AI promises but cannot see which ones matter to your business.

Your team spends time moving information between systems, spreadsheets, and inboxes.

You have data and software already, but useful insights and decisions still depend on manual work.

You have ideas or disconnected pilots and need to decide what deserves a budget.

What you leave with

Clarity on what to do, why, and in what order.

A clear current picture

A practical map of your key systems, data, workflows, and bottlenecks, informed by the people doing the work.

Prioritised opportunities

Specific opportunities ranked by business value, feasibility, effort, and risk. Each includes its assumptions and the evidence still needed.

Build, buy, or improve

Recommendations on where existing tools, better processes, automation, or custom AI make sense, with indicative costs and ongoing ownership.

A plan your team can use

A sequenced action plan with owners, dependencies, success measures, and a clearly scoped first pilot or improvement.

From open questions to a practical plan.

Agree the questions

We define the business goals, teams, and workflows to review, then agree the fee, timeline, and deliverables in a scoped proposal.

Understand the work

We talk with the people involved and review representative systems, data, and processes to find where time, quality, or opportunities are lost.

Test the options

We compare the likely value, costs, constraints, and risks of the strongest opportunities, including what your existing software can already do.

Set the next steps

We work through the priorities with your team and hand over the roadmap, including what to start, what to investigate, and what to leave alone.

Start with the questions your business needs answered.

Tell us where work gets stuck, which systems you rely on, and what you want to improve. We will help define a useful review and the decisions it should support.
