Private AI Strategy

The 90-Day AI Deployment Timeline: What to Expect

A realistic timeline from discovery through a live private AI workflow for small and mid-size operators.

Days 0 to 14: Discovery and Architecture

We map workflows, systems of record, and data sensitivity, then prepare a scoped proposal tied to the actual operation.

Days 15 to 45: Infrastructure and Pilot Slice

Hardware or private cloud is sized. A narrow pilot (often intake or one knowledge domain) goes live for a controlled user group.

Days 45 to 90: Expand, Train, and Harden

Broader access, monitoring, playbooks, and success metrics follow the pilot. Training is part of deployment because the operating habits matter as much as the tool.

  • Success metrics agreed up front
  • Human escalation paths documented
  • Security and backup checks

Build a realistic delivery plan

Use a working session to define the first workflow, acceptance criteria, and operating owner.
