FRAMEWORK

How we figure out what your business actually needs.

Before we recommend a single tool, we assess your business across six dimensions. The same framework guides every engagement we take on.

Evidence-based. Vendor-agnostic. Built for Canadian small businesses.

Framework Dimensions

Six questions we answer before recommending anything.

01

Business Problem

What specific outcome needs to improve and how will we know when it has? Every engagement starts here, not with tools.

02

Data Readiness

What data do you have, where does it live, and is it reliable enough to base decisions on? If it is not ready, that becomes part of the plan.

03

Governance & Risk

Canadian privacy law applies to your business. We make sure your AI use is compliant before you rely on it.

04

Technology & Tools

What are you already using, what is working, and what can be removed? We never recommend tools for the sake of it.

05

People & Adoption

Who will actually be using AI in your business, and what do they need to be able to do it well? Training is planned as part of the recommendation, not an afterthought.

06

Outcomes & ROI

What does success look like in numbers? We define this before any recommendation is made and measure it at 30 and 90 days.

How it works in practice

The framework drives every engagement from the first conversation.

This is not a checklist we hand to a client. It is the structure we use internally to understand your situation before we design any recommendation. What we find in each dimension determines what we recommend, in what order, and which tools we point you toward.

Business problem first. Always.
Tools selected after the diagnosis.
Outcomes defined before we recommend anything.
