The 2-Week AI Operations Advisory Sprint
May 1, 2026
Most small teams I talk to want more AI leverage. Very few of them need another tool. What they need is sequencing, architecture judgment, and reliability — applied to what they already have.
That is what the 2-Week AI Operations Advisory Sprint is for.
The problem
A founder-led team gets to the point where AI is showing up everywhere: prompts in docs, half-built agents in scripts, a few automations behind dashboards, knowledge scattered across drives, and a backlog that keeps growing faster than it shrinks. It works, mostly. Until it doesn't.
The questions start sounding the same:
- Where is this fragile?
- What should we actually build next?
- Are we standing on infrastructure that will hold up at 10× the load?
- Where are we burning money or attention on the wrong layer?
You don't need a vendor pitch for that. You need someone to sit inside the system for a couple of weeks and tell you the truth.
Weeks 1–2: the assessment
I review the pieces of the operation that touch AI and agents:
- Code, prompts, and any agent-style workflows.
- The backlog and roadmap, and how decisions get made.
- The data model and where institutional knowledge lives.
- Automations, integrations, and the dashboards people actually trust.
- Operating cadence — how the team plans, ships, and recovers.
The goal is not a list of things you already know. The goal is a clear picture of fragility, leverage, and sequencing.
The output
At the end of the sprint you get a written findings document. It covers:
- Where the system is fragile and what would fail first under pressure.
- Quick wins — the small, cheap improvements worth doing this month.
- Infrastructure recommendations — what to keep, what to replace, what to stop investing in.
- A prioritized 90-day roadmap that the team can actually execute, with or without me.
It is meant to be useful even if our engagement ends there.
Optional Weeks 3–4: ship a few things
If we both see value, the next two weeks are about execution. We pick one or two improvements from the roadmap — usually the ones that unlock the rest — and ship them with documentation. Reliability work, a missing piece of infrastructure, an agent that should have existed six months ago.
This is where the assessment stops being a deck and starts being a system.
Who this is for
- Founder-led teams with traction, where the operation only works because the founder is in every decision.
- Internal ops-heavy companies that are stitching together AI tools and want to know what they actually have.
- Teams building agentic systems and starting to feel the cost of not having an opinion on architecture, governance, and reliability.
If any of that sounds familiar, the sprint is designed for you. It is short, scoped, and it leaves you with something a team can keep working from.
