The Hanlon Method
AI transformation isn't about replacing what works. It's about redesigning how work gets done so AI amplifies your team's capabilities instead of just automating tasks.
How We Work
A structured approach that delivers results without disrupting your operations.
Discovery
We start by understanding your current reality—not just what tools you use, but how work actually flows through your organization. The goal is to find where AI creates the most leverage.
What this looks like:
- • Mapping your key workflows from trigger to outcome
- • Identifying bottlenecks: where does work pile up or stall?
- • Cataloguing repetitive tasks that consume skilled time
- • Understanding your data landscape: what information exists, where, and in what format
- • Interviewing team members to learn what frustrates them daily
Design
Armed with understanding, we identify specific opportunities where AI creates genuine value—not automation for automation's sake. We prioritize based on impact, feasibility, and your strategic goals.
What this looks like:
- • Opportunity scoring: rating each potential improvement by ROI and complexity
- • Workflow redesign: sketching how processes look when AI handles the heavy lifting
- • Integration mapping: identifying touchpoints with your existing systems
- • Success metrics: defining what "working" looks like in measurable terms
- • Risk assessment: anticipating what could go wrong and how to mitigate it
Build
Implementation moves fast because design was thorough. We build systems that slot into your existing operations without disruption, starting with a controlled rollout before full deployment.
What this looks like:
- • Rapid prototyping: functional proof of concept within days, not months
- • Integration development: connecting AI systems to your tools and data
- • Quality engineering: prompt tuning, edge case handling, reliability testing
- • User training: ensuring your team knows how to use and get value from new systems
- • Documentation: clear guides so systems are maintainable without me
Iterate
AI improves rapidly. What's cutting-edge today becomes baseline tomorrow. Ongoing optimization ensures your systems take advantage of new capabilities and continue delivering compounding value.
What this looks like:
- • Performance monitoring: tracking metrics to spot degradation or opportunities
- • Prompt refinement: improving AI behavior based on real-world feedback
- • Capability upgrades: integrating new AI models and features as they emerge
- • Expansion: identifying new processes ready for AI-native redesign
- • Knowledge transfer: building internal capability so your team becomes AI-fluent
The First Win Program
Not sure if AI-native transformation is right for you? Start with a single, focused project. Prove the value before committing to anything more.
What You Get
- One deployed AI system
A working solution integrated with your tools, not a prototype or proof of concept that needs more work
- Documented success metrics
Before-and-after measurements proving the impact: time saved, errors reduced, throughput increased
- Complete documentation
User guides, technical specs, and maintenance instructions so your team can operate independently
- AI opportunity roadmap
A prioritized list of additional opportunities identified during Discovery—for you to pursue independently or with me
Timeline
Week 1: Discovery
Understanding your workflows, identifying the highest-impact opportunity, defining success metrics
Week 2: Design & Build
Designing the solution, building the core functionality, integrating with your systems
Week 3-4: Deploy & Measure
Rolling out to your team, gathering feedback, documenting results, refining as needed
End: Decision Point
You have results in hand. Continue to an ongoing partnership, or walk away with a working system
The Guarantee
The First Win isn't a trial or a cheap teaser to lock you into a bigger contract. It's a complete engagement with a real deliverable and measurable results.
We agree on success metrics before starting. If at the end of the engagement those metrics haven't improved, you don't pay the full amount. It's that simple.
Note: The specific metrics and guarantee terms are defined together during our initial conversation, tailored to your situation. This isn't a blanket "money-back" promise—it's a commitment to shared accountability for results.
What Happens After
After your First Win, you have options. There's no pressure to continue—you'll have a working system either way.
Walk Away
Keep your working system, documentation, and roadmap. No hard feelings, no follow-up sales calls.
Another Project
Tackle the next opportunity from your roadmap as another standalone project. Same structure, same accountability.
Ongoing Partnership
I become your AI transformation partner. Continuous optimization of what we've built, plus systematic pursuit of new opportunities.
