The 2-Week AI Readiness Sprint

Fourteen days from "we should do something with AI" to a prioritized roadmap and a quantified business case — grounded in your plant's actual data, systems, and constraints.

Fee: fixed — request pricing · Credited against your pilot if you proceed

What you get

Four deliverables. One decision.

Deliverable 01

Data maturity audit

Readiness scoring across OT, IT, MES, and ERP — where your data can support AI today, and where it can't yet.

Deliverable 02

Prioritized use-case roadmap

Your AI opportunities ranked by feasibility and financial impact — not by what's fashionable.

Deliverable 03

Quantified business case

A conservative, assumption-transparent ROI model for the top use case, built to survive CFO scrutiny.

Deliverable 04

Pilot reference architecture

The sovereign, edge-ready architecture and partner stack for your first pilot — scoped, sequenced, priced.

Deliverable 05

Executive readout (included)

A working session with your leadership to walk the roadmap, stress-test the model, and decide the next step.

Deliverable 06

You keep everything (included)

Every deliverable is yours regardless of whether you proceed — no strings, no gated documents.

The 14 days

Structured like a production run, not a workshop series.

Days 01–03

Immerse

Plant walk-through, stakeholder interviews, systems and data-source inventory.

Days 04–07

Audit

Data maturity scoring across quality, maintenance, and production data.

Days 08–11

Prioritize

Use-case shortlist, conservative ROI modeling, architecture options.

Days 12–14

Decide

Executive readout: roadmap, business case, and a scoped pilot proposal.

What happens after

Every path leads to a decision — including “not yet.”

Fit check

Who the sprint is for.

A strong fit if you…

  • Run discrete manufacturing — automotive, aerospace, high-tech, energy
  • Have tried (or are wary of) AI pilots that never proved ROI
  • Need on-prem / sovereign deployment for compliance or cost reasons
  • Want a CFO-ready business case before committing to a program

Probably not a fit if you…

  • Want to license a software product rather than build a capability
  • Are looking for a general IT outsourcing partner
  • Need a chatbot, not plant-floor intelligence
Common questions

Why is the sprint paid?

Because free assessments produce shelf-ware. A fixed fee keeps both sides accountable to a decision — and it's credited against your pilot if you proceed.

Do we need clean data first?

No — assessing your data as it actually is, is the point. Fragmented, messy data is the normal starting state; the sprint tells you precisely what to fix and in what order.

Will you push your own software?

We don't have any. Cloudster owns no software product; our IP is the integration intelligence. Recommendations are optimized for your outcome, not a vendor roadmap.

What happens after the sprint?

You decide. Most clients move to an 8–12 week pilot on the top use case. Some fix data foundations first. Either way, you keep every deliverable.

Two weeks. One decision-grade answer.
