Discovery brief
Frames the business case, constraints, and success metrics before technical work starts.
Overview
Strategic investigation for high-value workflow problems
Adler is for the moment before build: when the workflow matters, the stakes are real, but the right scope is still blurry. It structures discovery so the team leaves with a credible go/no-go decision and a clean handoff into delivery.
- Discovery, workflow mapping, and risk templates
- ROI model and ranked action plan assets
- Interview guide, experiment card, and implementation brief
- Worked example with filled outputs for a claims-support workflow
Best Fit
Who this product is built for
- Consultancies shaping an AI case quickly
- Operators who need one workflow assessed before scaling broader work
- Sponsors who want measurable outcomes rather than generic discovery
- Teams preparing a rapid build sprint
Artifacts
The outputs teams actually use
These are the delivery artifacts the repo is designed to produce, not just the internal implementation detail.
Hypothesis backlog
Turns fuzzy assumptions into explicit bets that can change scope or ROI.
Implementation brief
Hands the recommended workflow slice into delivery with clear boundaries and risks.
Workflow
How it gets used in real delivery
Each product is designed to slot into a fixed-scope Baker Street engagement rather than sit as a disconnected side project.
Frame the workflow, sponsor pressure, and baseline metrics.
Map failure points, run lightweight validation, and rank the best options.
Model ROI, surface risks, and issue an executive-ready recommendation.
