Do we have to buy all five stages?+
No. Each stage is scoped separately and should produce something useful on its own. You can use the assessment internally, complete one implementation, or continue when the results support the next investment.
Can we start with an implementation instead of an assessment?+
Yes, when the workflow, owner, data access, baseline, and risks are already well understood. We use the initial conversation to assess whether a production sprint is a sound starting point or whether a short diagnostic would reduce uncertainty.
We already have an AI pilot that underperforms. Can you fix it instead of starting over?+
Yes. Optimization is one of our core services. We assess what was built and why it underperforms — adoption, integration, data quality, controls, or the use case itself — then recommend repairing, extending, or retiring it. You get a working system or a clear decision, not a second version of the same pilot.
What determines the cost of an AI project?+
Cost depends on the workflows, integrations, data readiness, security requirements, users, and support responsibility in scope. We define the deliverables and commercial terms before work begins. An assessment or a focused sprint can establish the business case before a larger commitment. If the evidence does not support the next stage, we tell you before you spend more.
How long does it take to get started?+
A defined Quick Wins Assessment typically takes about two weeks. Implementation timing depends on data access, integration complexity, testing, and team availability. We agree on milestones and acceptance criteria for your scope rather than promising one timeline for every project.
Who owns the data and the solution?+
Your control of business data and operating knowledge is a design priority. Deployment, software ownership, licensing, intellectual-property rights, and handover are made explicit in the engagement agreement. Third-party tools may retain their own licensing terms.
What technologies do you work with?+
We select the architecture around your systems and constraints. It can include existing automation and BI platforms, cloud services, model providers, custom software, or private deployments. We assess compatibility, data access, reliability, and operating cost before recommending the stack.
What does OIQ mean?+
OIQ stands for Operating Intelligence Quotient. It is BizKey’s internal framework for tracking opportunity, proof, connected systems, platform maturity, and ongoing improvement. It supports specific business measures and is not an industry standard, external certification, or substitute for outcome evidence.
