How it works

Six clear steps, no surprises

The process is designed to remove uncertainty. Every step has a defined outcome and a clear decision point.

📋
01

Diagnostic form

15 minutes

You complete a short diagnostic form about your business, team size, industry, workflows, existing systems, and what outcome matters most.

The form is designed to give GrowIT enough context to assess fit before booking a call. It takes about 15 minutes. There is no commitment involved in completing it.

📞
02

Qualification call

30 minutes

A 30-minute video or phone call to discuss your situation, confirm that there is a realistic opportunity, and recommend the right starting package.

This call is not a sales pitch. It is a mutual qualification. GrowIT will tell you if the business case looks weak, or if the wrong package is being considered.

03

Paid AI Opportunity Audit

5–15 business days

The audit reviews your workflow, identifies practical AI opportunities, assesses data readiness and risk, and produces a scored recommendation.

The audit is the safest way to spend money on AI. It costs far less than a failed implementation, and it gives you a clear basis for the next decision — whether to proceed, prototype, or stop.

04

Roadmap and recommendation

Readout call included

You receive a written report with the opportunity shortlist, scoring, tool recommendations, risk notes, and a 30/60/90-day roadmap.

The readout call walks through the findings. The recommendation is direct: here is what to do first, here is what to avoid, and here is whether the business case justifies the next step.

05

Prototype, implement, or stop

Your decision

Based on the audit findings, you decide whether to prototype one workflow, proceed to implementation, or hold until the business case is clearer.

If there is no measurable business case, GrowIT will say so. There is no pressure to proceed to the next stage. The audit is designed to give you a real recommendation, not a precondition for another engagement.

06

Handover and improvement

Ongoing if needed

Live workflows get documentation, staff training, operating controls, and optional ongoing support through the AI Improvement Retainer.

The handover includes a standard operating procedure, staff training, and an AI use register entry. The retainer provides monthly review, prompt refinement, and tool advice for businesses that want ongoing support.

"If there is no measurable business case, we will say so."

This is the core commitment behind the GrowIT process. The audit is not a precondition for a sale — it is a genuine recommendation.

Process questions

Do we need to commit to an implementation before starting?
No. Each stage is a separate decision. The audit is useful on its own, and it will tell you whether the next stage is worth it.
How long does the whole process take from enquiry to implementation?
Typically 12–16 weeks from first contact to a live implementation, depending on business complexity, responsiveness, and scheduling. The audit alone takes 5–15 business days.
Can we start with the prototype instead of the audit?
In some cases, yes — where the workflow is already well-defined and low-risk. For most businesses, the audit is the right starting point because it prevents building the wrong prototype.
What if we are not ready for AI right now?
That is a valid finding. The audit may conclude that the business is not ready — because the systems are too messy, the source material is too poor, or the team is not ready to adopt a new process. That is a useful finding, not a failure.
