Most companies know they want to use AI. Few know exactly where. The result: projects that look great in a presentation - but fall apart in the real workday.
A Shadow Walk is built to move fast — and end with clarity, not just observations.
Within approximately one week after the Shadow Walk, you receive five structured deliverables - and a presentation where we walk you through everything.
Most clients move directly from the Shadow Walk into a proof of concept — a small, focused build that tests the highest-priority opportunity in the real environment. From there, we build a roadmap together and stay involved as a close partner throughout.
Less than you'd think. We follow people as they work - we don't pull them into meetings or workshops. Most teams tell us they barely noticed we were there. The goal is observation, not interruption.
2–4 people doing the actual work, the tools they use (read-only or screenshare is fine), and one internal sponsor who can unblock access and align priorities. We handle confidentiality and NDAs as needed.
No. The Shadow Walk is a standalone engagement. You get a full report and a recommended path forward. Whether you build with us or someone else — or decide to wait — is entirely up to you. We'd rather give you clarity than lock you in.
Maybe not. But most companies that feel certain going in discover at least one assumption that doesn't hold up once you look at the real workflows. If you're right, the Shadow Walk confirms it and gives you a stronger foundation. If you're not, you've just saved yourself from a very expensive mistake.
We take a limited number of Shadow Walks each month. Reach out and we'll let you know the earliest available slot — usually within 2–3 weeks.
