Phase 1 Proposal — Discovery & Roadmap. Enter the access code to continue.
×
A 4-week Discovery & Roadmap engagement to turn Alessandro's intuition — that AI belongs everywhere in the business — into a sequenced, costed, owner-mapped transformation plan.
You joined our Openclaw workshop and didn't stop there. You set up Elio — your own AI system — and put it to work. That curiosity is the engine.
BEE today, organized by vertical. Each card includes the lead contact we'll engage in Phase 1.
This is my understanding — please correct me where I'm wrongJapan, Australia, Italy, Mongolia, UAE, China, and more. Lead contacts: Ale (CEO), Ray (China), Ahmed (UAE).
No dedicated PMO — leads come out of each engineering sub-function: Consulting, Monitoring, and Testing. Lead contacts: one leader from each of the three teams.
Quarterly campaigns, social (LI, FB, X) + blog/news. SEO under-invested. Lead contacts: Ale, plus the new Canva + Claude-literate hire.
Lightly scoped this engagement — not the highest-leverage vertical right now. Lead contact: Ale.
Xero across 11 legal entities — month-end, intercompany, billing, plus org-wide tool admin. Lead contacts: the two finance leaders.

Each workstream maps directly to a Phase 1 objective. A small senior team, a weekly cadence with you, and structured interviews with the people who actually do the work — not "what could AI do?" but "walk me through your last week."
Structured interviews + observational shadowing, vertical by vertical. Named targets per week: Sales (Ale, Ray, Ahmed). PM + Engineering leaders (Consulting, Monitoring, Testing). Marketing & Comms + HR. Finance (2 leaders).
Per tool: who uses it, what data lives in it, is it accessible via API/MCP, what would replacement or augmentation look like. Deep dives on Smartsheet, Zoho, Xero+Joiin+Pulse, Harvest, SharePoint proposals.
Take the opportunity portfolio, the tooling map, and the readiness signal — fold them into a sequenced plan with owners, effort estimates, dependencies, and expected impact.
In 28 days BEE walks into the board with a costed, owner-mapped transformation plan and the roadmap to fund. Bar colors map to the workstream. Hover any bar for detail.

We don't sell pre-baked frameworks. We sit with your team, audit the stack on real data, and leave you with a costed, owner-mapped roadmap — not a slide deck.
We finish Phase 1 with a costed, owner-mapped roadmap — the kind BEE can take straight to the board, with the numbers and the names already in place.
Michele (PhD, CEO — AI strategy & delivery) + Anirudh (Data Engineer — pipelines, dashboards, leverage).
Distributed engineering, multi-entity finance, sprawling SaaS, AI-curious leadership without depth in the team. Familiar territory.
A simple path from your thumbs-up to Week 0.
A short "let's do this" from BEE confirms the engagement and the scope.
Midas drafts and circulates the NDA and the service agreement. You sign.
Project starts per the timeline — Week 0 (prep) begins immediately after signature.
Looking forward to figuring out — together — where BEE plays and how BEE wins in the AI game.
