When it is relevant
You are shaping or prioritising an important AI-powered product initiative and need product, technical and operating decisions to line up before further investment.
Experience, intelligence and control
- Experience
- Define the customer and operator outcome the product should create.
- Intelligence
- Determine what intelligent behaviour is useful, appropriate and technically feasible.
- Control
- Define evidence, autonomy and human-oversight boundaries before investment increases.
What the client receives
- Prioritised opportunity and decision map
- Experience and workflow direction
- Technical feasibility and architecture direction
- Evaluation and oversight plan
- Recommended next-stage roadmap
How this engagement continues
Shape: Short, fixed engagement
Duration: Typically 1-2 months
The outputs stand on their own. No further Windmill engagement is assumed. Where further work is appropriate, the evidence and decisions may lead into Proof of Value or Product Build & Scale, but only where the next investment is justified.
