Detailed Phase Breakdown
PHASE 1: Discovery & Audit Window
Duration & Structure
- Timeline: 10 business days from kickoff ("Discovery Sprint")
- Decision Gate: Day 9 read-out with a clear Go/Extend decision
- Optional Extension: Up to 2 additional weeks (Weeks 3–4) if criteria below are met
Expected Milestones
- Day 3–5: Current-state architecture map, data flow, risk & gaps log v1
- Day 7: Split backlog (Quick Wins vs GenAI Buildout), acceptance criteria drafts
- Day 9 (Gate): Read-out, budgeted plan, and Catalog picks for pilot/build
Potential Extension Criteria
- Net-new integration risks or compliance constraints discovered after Day 6
- Additional stakeholders/processes materially affecting scope are identified. E.g. "A third-party integration provider has not thoroughly been documented or available to work with"
- Client and Contractor mutually determine that to scope a core feature, deeper research and validation is necessary to properly scope and roadmap
Quick Win Exploration (Rapid Scope)
During the Discovery Sprint we will identify "rapid" improvements (e.g., intake UX polish, copy/validation fixes, mobile/responsive remediation, notification reliability). This preserves momentum and shortens time-to-value without waiting four weeks.
Outcomes
- Clear separation of immediate build scope vs longer-term GenAI opportunities
- Early identification of tangible improvements for the active user flow ("rapid" items)
- A flexible path to a four-week development window (6 week total) without idle time or sunk cost
PHASE 2: Active Development & Demo Event
Duration & Structure
- Timeline: 10 business days
- Demo Event: Formal Presentation of Produced Works and Demo-Ready Features
- Optional Extension: Up to 2 additional weeks (Weeks 3–4) if criteria below are met
Expected Milestones
- Architecture Map, Data Flows, Risks & Gaps Log v1
- Quick Wins produced in Demo Environment for Engagement
- Gen AI Opportunity Targets, along with prospective Backlogs, Acceptance Criteria drafting, Estimated Efforts
Outcomes
- Presentation of Produced Works, Alignment of GenAI Roadmap and next phase commenced
PHASE 3: Pilot Build Specifications & Roadmap
This phase formalizes pilot specifications, success metrics, and delivery roadmap based on Phase 1-2 findings. The specific scope and approach will be determined by discovery outcomes and stakeholder priorities identified in earlier phases.
Note: The following areas represent potential focus domains subject to validation and prioritization during Phases 1-2.
