Rung 4 · Automation mode · Assessment
One real task. One working AI workflow. Forty-eight hours.
One real task, one working AI workflow, in 48 hours — see exactly what it does before you commit to anything wider.
Concurrency capped at 2 per week. Next available slot confirmed within 4 business hours.
What we deliver in 48 hours
No slide deck. No strategy document. A runnable thing, on one of your real tasks, with numbers attached.
A working AI workflow
Not a slide deck. A runnable workflow on one of your real tasks, in your house style, with documented setup so your team can run it end-to-end without us in the room.
A blind accuracy score
We compare the draft output against a signed-off comparable you already have. You get the percentage, the distribution of differences, and the edges we found.
A time-saved calculation
Hours saved per task × your annual volume. The business case in numbers — not in feelings.
A one-page ROI summary
Board-ready. Covers the opportunity, the risk, the 4D Framework classification of this workflow, and the three things we'd do next.
How it runs
- 00
You book a call
Pick a time on the live calendar. We confirm your slot and send a kickoff link within 4 business hours.
- 01
45-minute kickoff call
Willie + our team on our side. You + one person who actually knows the workflow. We agree the one real task, collect the raw inputs and signed-off comparable, and sign NDAs if needed. 48-hour clock starts here.
- 02
48 hours of build
We build the AI workflow. We score it blind against your signed-off comparable. We document the setup. We calculate the business case.
- 03
Delivery + 30-minute debrief
You get the workflow + score + ROI summary at the 48-hour mark. We debrief by day 7 on what you found. From there: Rung 5 (productised build) or we part ways cleanly.
Who this is for
A good fit if
- — You have a recurring task that takes 5+ hours each time
- — You have examples of what "good" output looks like (signed-off work)
- — A 5-15% error rate on first draft is recoverable — a human reviews before it ships
- — You want to see the actual thing before committing to a retainer
- — You're in a regulated AU industry (insurance, health, finance, government, professional services)
Not a good fit if
- — You want an autonomous agent that needs no human review (that's Rung 7 — we'd ladder you there through 4→5→6 first)
- — You want a strategy deck or "AI roadmap" — we don't sell those
- — The task changes too much to have a signed-off comparable
- — You're shopping prices without a specific task in mind
Questions
What's the A/A/A mode of this?
Automation. We build a specific scripted workflow on precise instructions. If Rung 4 lands, Rung 5 (productised Automation) or Rung 6 (Augmentation pod) is usually the right next step — Rung 7 (Agency managed agents) comes later, once Automation is bulletproof.
Do I need an NDA first?
We'll send one within 4 business hours of your request. Or use yours — we'll sign most standard AU mutual-NDAs without redline.
What if the workflow doesn't score well?
You still get the blind accuracy score, the time-saved calculation, and a clear read on why. That's useful even if we don't proceed — you know whether it's a Description problem (fixable), a Discernment problem (harder), or a fundamental mismatch.
Do you work with other foundation models?
We do. Bring your own provider — we build on your keys, your contracts, your data residency. Or if you'd rather not manage one, we host and run it for you. We recommend the model that fits the task, and we show you the evidence for the call.
Who delivers this?
Willie Prosek personally delivers the first two assessments each week. After that, our engineering team delivers under Willie's review. Concurrency is capped at two per week until the process is bulletproof.
What happens after I book?
You'll get a kickoff booking link by email. Book your 45-minute kickoff call within 24 hours and send your one real task — raw inputs plus a signed-off comparable. The 48-hour clock starts at the kickoff call.
Ready?
Two slots per week. Next available confirmed within 4 business hours of booking.
